NANOG44 Call for PresentationsThe North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 44th meeting October 12-15, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.The meeting will be hosted by CenterGate Research and USC/Los Nettos. This meeting will be jointly held with ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers. NANOG hosts one meeting per year in coordination with ARIN as a service to the constituencies of both organizations. In an exciting change from our normal joint meeting schedule, planning is underway for a jointly programmed Wednesday morning to include topics relevant to both the engineering and the policy challenges raised by the Internet. NANOG meetings provide a forum for information exchange among network operators, engineers, and researchers. Meetings are held three times each year, and include panels, presentations, tutorial sessions, and BOFs. NANOG solicits presentations highlighting issues relating to technology already deployed or soon-to-be deployed in the Internet. The NANOG community is invited to attend and participate in this forum, which offers numerous opportunities to share ideas, explore research and development, and interact with leaders in this important field of network operations. Vendors are encouraged to work with operators to present deployment experiences with the vendor's products and interoperability. Key Dates for NANOG44
General SessionSome (of the many) ideas that the Program Committee is considering for this NANOG meeting include:

TalksA general session talk should be on a topic of interest to the general NANOG audience, and may be up to 30 minutes long (including time for questions and answers.)PanelsPanel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus and timeliness of the topic; expertise of proposed panelists; as well as the potential for informative and controversial discussion.

These are limited to ten minutes; this will be strictly enforced.If you have a topic that's timely, interesting, or even a crackpot idea you want to share, we encourage you to consider presenting it. Signups for lightning talks will be accepted during the NANOG meeting. Research ForumResearchers 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.
