In this panel, industry experts will discuss the operational impact of changes in inter-domain routing (Sue), multicast (Dino), security (Steve), and IPv6/NAT (Paul). The panel will be followed by an open forum/Q&A for all the NANOG30 anniversary speakers.

1. 15 Years of Policy Routing, by Sue Hares

2. NAT and IPv6, We Meet at Last, by Paul Francis
This talk examines the history of NAT and IPv6, describing how each has evolved, and how their independent paths have finally met in the form of Teredo. It also examines possible futures for NAT and IPv6.

3. Where Multicast Has Been and Where It's Headed, by Dino Farinacci
Dino describes the early history and evolution of the multicast routing protocols.

About the Presenters
As founder and CTO of NextHop Technologies, Sue Hares leads the company's technology qualification, development, and strategic planning functions. Prior to launching NextHop, Sue spent 13 years at Merit Network, Inc., where she most recently directed the Merit GateD Consortium. She was also a senior engineer at both Allen-Bradley Corp. and ADP Inc. An active participant in the design, specification and implementation of routing protocols, Sue co-chairs the IETF Inter-domain Routing working group, which is standardizing BGP. She is also a member of the NANOG program committee. Sue holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan.

Paul Francis is the inventor of NAT (though not NAPT), as well as an early contributor to IPv6. In his 15-year career in industry research labs (MITRE, Bellcore, NTT Labs), Paul has originated a number of interesting ideas, including Landmark Routing, Shortcut Routing across large non-broadcast networks, shared multicast trees, and application-layer multicast. Paul is currently a faculty at Cornell University and is working on BGP scalability, IP anycast deployment, overlay multicast, DDoS prevention, network proximity addressing, and NAT.

Dino Farinacci has been designing and implementing networking protocols for 21 years. He has extensive experience with distance vector and link state protocol implementations, as well as multicast routing protocols, which have been his focus for the past eight years. He wrote widely deployed implementations of IS-IS, OSPF, PIM, MBGP, and MSDP when these protocols were infantile in their development. A former Fellow at Cisco, Dino currently works for Procket Networks in the Routing Protocols group.
