NANOG30 Call for Presentations

February 8-10, 2004
Miami, Florida

Participate in our 10th anniversary celebration!

The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 30th meeting February 8-10, 2004, in Miami, Florida. The meeting will be hosted by Terremark and held at the Radisson Miami Hotel. 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.

NANOG meetings, held three times each year, 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 450 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. Abstracts should include a concise summary of findings to be presented in the talk.

Research Forum
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.



General Session/Tutorials
The community is invited to present talks on:

  • Security attacks/mitigation, tools, and analysis
  • Operator experience and how-to's on building packet-switched networks (e.g., IP or MPLS) that can carry:
    • TDM
    • Layer 2 (e.g., Frame Relay and ATM)
    • IP services
    • Emerging services such as the Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).
  • Experience with active DoS retaliation methods, e.g., reverse port scanning.
  • Implementation and use of measurement technologies in vendor devices
  • Operator case studies on:
    • Integration with optical control planes (GMPLS, ASON, etc.), voice (enterprise, Class 4 and Class 5), and video
    • VOIP architectures and deployment
    • Provisioning and automation
    • Enterprise network security, management, and route control
    • Network troubleshooting and problems solved
    • Implementation experience with 10/100Gig E


Other potential topics include:
  • Backbone traffic engineering
  • Impact of BGP dynamics on backbone traffic patterns
  • Route processor architecture
  • Large-scale wireless deployment
  • Building large-scale measurement infrastructure
  • Inter-domain multicast deployment
NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels, and other presentation topics.

How to Present

See the How to Give a Presentation at NANOG section for complete submission guidelines.

The deadline for proposals is December 22, 2003. While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by December 22, 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 12. Final drafts of presentation slides are due by January 28, and final versions February 4.
