Call for Presentations - NANOG19
June 11-13, 2000
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Albuquerque, NM
The North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) will hold its 19th
meeting in Albuquerque between June 11-13, 2000. The meeting will be
hosted by iHighway. 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. Meetings are
informal, with an emphasis on relevance to current backbone engineering
practices. The conference draws around 500 participants, mainly consisting
of engineering staff from large 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.
Previous meetings have
included presentations on:
- Backbone traffic engineering
- Coordination of inter-provider QoS
- Deployment experience with queueing disciplines (CAR, RED)
- 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
- Reports from next-generation networks (Internet2, CA*net, etc.)
- Inter-domain multicast deployment
- Backbone network failure analysis
- Inter-exchange point updates
Tutorials have covered topics such as:
- BGP case studies
- MPLS fundamentals
- External route selection
- IP multicast technologies
- Distributed content caching in large IP networks
How to Present
Submit an informal one- or two-paragraph abstract describing the
presentation in email to nanog-support@nanog.org. The
deadline for proposals is May 8, 2000. The majority of speaking
slots will be filled by May 8; a limited number of slots will be
available after that date for topics that are exceptionally timely and
important. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by May 22, 2000.
