Call for Presentations - NANOG21

Sheraton Atlanta Hotel
February 18-20, 2001

Note: Conference registration begins in mid-December.

The North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) will hold its 21st meeting in Atlanta, GA, between February 18-20, 2001. The meeting will be hosted by Riverstone Networks. 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 600 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 January 8, 2001. While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by January 8, 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 22, 2001.
