I wanted to give you a heads-up on the sessions at the upcoming iBAND at ISPCON event that are most relevant to this list: "IP Centric Control and Management of Optical Networks " "IP QoS: Whiteboard concept or global reality?" These are just a few of the technical sessions at this year's 5th iBAND conference and showcase, co-located with ISPCON this year at the San Jose Convention Center, November 8-10. Internet Traffic Management, Service Provisioning and Performance Measurement are the themes of the event.

This session will discuss the following issues from a service provider perspective: IP centric control optical architectures for optical networks and their impact on layer 3 networks, Functional requirements of optical layer control functions, namely, link management, topology discovery, routing, and signaling, and the ways they are different from similar functions in IP networks, Standards activities in these areas (e.g. MPLS, OSPF, UNI, etc.), implementation, and deployment issues. S8 - IP QoS: Whiteboard concept or global reality? Jim Hendrickson, QoS Networks Solutions such as ATM backbones and software offerings have tried to address the whiteboard vision of prioritizing and shaping traffic. The inherent problems with these solutions have been lack of granularity, increased latency, lack of scalability, and the introduction of complexity and inefficient overhead. Within the last two years, technology has been made available and global political shifts have allowed for the delivery of true Quality of Service beyond the edge and to the customer premises. This session will explore the current industry shift and how it will dramatically improve content delivery. It will also discuss what offerings are here now, such as bringing the management of Quality of Service to the desktop via a browser and VoIP delivery at land-line quality levels with no regard for type of termination points. |
