Sessions Sessions Tuesday April 15 - Wednesday, April 16 BEER & PIZZA SHOOTOUT 7:00-9:00pm The End of the Internet? In November of 2007 Nemertes Research published a report entitled "The Internet Singularity Delayed: Why Limits in Internet Capacity Will Stifle Innovation on the Web. In this study Nemertes noted that investments in Internet infrastructure, particularly at the access layer in North America, were insufficient to meet growing demand, with a likely result that the Internet will face "brown-out" conditions as early as 2010. During this session we'll discuss the future of the Internet, addressing questions such as the case for network neutrality, how Internet service providers can address infrastructure demands on their network, and what should be done from an enterprise, service provider, vendor, and government perspective to foster the growth of the Internet and Internet-based applications 9:45-10:15am Carrier Ethernet Transport in Next Generation Architecture Kevin Daines, CTO, World Wide Packets Migrating to 4G technology allows carriers to utilize one, all IP, packet-based backhaul infrastructure. With multiple, high-bandwidth, quality-sensitive services planned, 4G infrastructure must be packet-based, scalable, resilient and cost-effective. If it does not meet these requirements the network fails to live up to its potential. However, the connection-oriented technology being standardized as PBB-TE is well poised to address the 4G backhaul infrastructure opportunity with improved provisioning, resiliency, scalability and operation efficiency. This session will address the unique benefits for providers migrating to 4G technology and details of two international deployments in which PBB-TE is used to unlock the power of 4G networks. Moderator: Johna Till Johnson, President and Founding Partner, Nemertes Research Panelists: Dr. John Day, Professor of Computer Science, Boston University Dave Schaeffer, CEO, Cogent Communications David Isenberg, Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University, Harvard Law School John Curran, Director, IANA Dr. Stuart Elby, Vice President, Network Architecture, Verizon 1:30-2:45pm IPv6: Ready or Waiting? Todd Underwood, VP and General Manager, Renesys John Curran, Director, IANA David Siegel, Director of Data Services Product Managemet, Global Crossing IPv6 has been in development for years, with a number of test and pilot deployments around the world. But at long last we appear to be ready to move into large-scale production deployments led by global initiatives and government efforts. During this session we'll look at IPv6, the current status of the protocol, requirements for deployment, and challenges faced in transitioning the Internet to this next generation protocol. Wednesday, May 2, 2007 Genera WAN The Next Gener ation Internet adn WAN Services Architecture 8:30-9:15am KEYNOTE: IMS and the Foundation for Converged Customer Services Ben Vos, Vice President, Core Technologies, Sprint Nextel Telecommunication acronyms don’t exist in a vacuum: they’re used by service providers to enable services that help their customers to lead richer lives or do better business. The combined customer interests in user mobility, service simplicity, and overall cost effectiveness are driving the current deployment of technologies like IMS. And what makes those technologies interesting is how they end up being used by the end customer. We will review the wireline and wireless components of a modern service provider’s network, explain how IMS helps enable new functionality within the overall network architecture, and look at mobile data and integrated, managed voice and data services that are being offered right now as a result of the integration of these technologies. 2:45-3:15pm All Meshed Up: How P2P, VOIP, SOA and SaaS Work with MPLS Architectures to Impact Management WAN Design and Architecture Strategies Mark Urban, Director of Product Marketing, Packeteer With MPLS enabled IP-VPN architectures breaking the traditional hub and spoke model of network architectures, application architectures are rapidly evolving. In this session, we'll explore the core relationship between the connectivity infrastructure and changing application technologies. We will also explore and debate the impact of this evolution on network management, and strategies to manage through a rapidly changing environment. 3:15-4:15pm Rethinking the Internet Routing Architecture The Internet routing architecture is under strain. Based on a decades old protocol, Internet routing architectures are struggling to meet the growth of the Internet, and of Internet-based applications. New approaches such as flow-based routing, and Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) offer potential to reduce complexity and overhead of growing BGP tables and route processing requirements. During this session we'll discuss the issues surrounding the growth of Internet routing tables, and how alternative approaches may provide for more scalable, more reliable routing architectures 9:15-9:45am Radio in the Local Loop William Flanagan, President, Flanagan Consulting This session discusses the use of emerging 3G/4G wireless services such as GPRS, EVDO, and WiMAX as local loop alternatives. Scenarios and case studies to be discussed include wireless as backup or primary data and voice services for services including SCADA, AMPS replacement, and other vertical applications Endorsed By MPLS Dela Don’t Del ay!
