The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 28th
meeting June 1-3, 2003, at the Sheraton City Centre Hotel in Salt Lake
City. The meeting will be hosted by the Utah Education Network and the
University of Utah. Registration opens April 7.

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.  Meetings are held three times each year, and
include two days of short presentations, plus afternoon/evening
tutorial sessions. The meetings are informal, with an emphasis on
relevance to current backbone engineering practices. NANOG conferences
draw over 450 participants, mainly consisting of engineering staff from
national service providers, and members of the research and education
community.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

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. Vendors are encouraged to work with
operators to present deployment experiences with the vendor's products.

Network operators are invited to present case studies detailing their
experiences with network planning and design, protocol implementation,
provisioning, automation, useful tools, traffic engineering,
troubleshooting, problems solved, and DoS.

Researchers are invited to present short (10-minute) summaries of their
work for operator feedback. Topics include routing, network performance,
statistical measurement and analysis, and protocol development and
implementation. Studies presented may be works in progress. Researchers
from academia, government, and industry are encouraged to present.

Previous NANOG meetings have included presentations on:

    - Backbone traffic engineering 
    - Freely available configuration, management, and measurement tools
    - Impact of BGP dynamics on backbone traffic patterns
    - Route processor architecture
    - Inter-provider security and routing protocol authentication 
    - Large-scale wireless deployment
    - Routing scalability in backbone infrastructures 
    - Security issues for the Internet core 
    - Routing policy specification and backbone router configuration 
    - Building large-scale measurement infrastructure 
    - Experience with differentiated services 
    - Inter-domain multicast deployment 
    - Backbone network failure analysis 

Tutorials have covered topics such as:

    - BGP troubleshooting techniques
    - ISP security: real world techniques 
    - IPv6 deployment concepts
    - IP multicast technologies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO PRESENT

Submit a detailed abstract or outline describing the presentation in
email to [email protected]  The deadline for proposals is April
21, 2003.  While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by April
21, 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 May 5. Final drafts of presentation slides
are due by May 21, and final versions May 28.

NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels,
and other presentation topics.
