NANOG27 Call for Presentations
February 9-11, 2003
Phoenix, Arizona
The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 27th
meeting February 9-11, 2003, in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting will be
hosted by Rodney Joffe and UltraDNS.
NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and dissemination
of technical information related to large-scale (i.e.,
national/international) Internet backbone networking technologies and
operational practices. Meetings are held three times each year, and
include two days of short presentations, plus afternoon/evening tutorial
sessions. The meetings are informal, with an emphasis on relevance to
current backbone engineering practices. NANOG conferences draw over 500
participants, mainly consisting of engineering staff from national service
providers, and members of the research and education community.
NANOG invites presentations on backbone engineering, coordination, and
research topics. Presentations should highlight issues relating to
technology already deployed or soon to be deployed in core Internet
backbones and exchange points.
Network operators are invited to present case studies detailing
their experiences with network planning and design, protocol
implementation, provisioning, automation, useful tools, traffic
engineering, troubleshooting, problems solved, and DoS.
Researchers are invited to present short (10-minute) summaries of their
work for operator feedback. Topics include routing, network
performance, statistical measurement and analysis, and protocol
development and implementation. Studies presented may be works in
progress. Researchers from academia, government, and industry are
encouraged to present.
Previous meetings have included presentations on:
- Backbone traffic engineering
- Freely available configuration, management, and measurement tools
- Inter-provider security and routing protocol
authentication
- Routing scalability in backbone infrastructures
- Security issues for the Internet core
- Routing policy specification and backbone router configuration
- Building large-scale measurement infrastructure
- Cooperative inter-provider caching
- Alternatives to hot-potato routing
- Recommendations on queue management and congestion avoidance
- Experience with differentiated services
- Inter-domain multicast deployment
- Backbone network failure analysis
Tutorials have covered topics such as:
- BGP troubleshooting techniques
- ISP security: real-world techniques
- IPv6 basics
- BGP multihoming
How to Present
See the How to Give a Presentation at NANOG section
for complete submission guidelines.
The deadline for proposals is January 6,
2003. While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by January 6, a
limited number of slots will be available after that date for topics that
are exceptionally timely and important. Submissions will be reviewed by
the NANOG Program Committee, and presenters will be notified of acceptance
by January 20, 2003. Final drafts of presentation slides are due by
January 29, and final versions February 5.
NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels,
and other presentation topics.
