The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 32nd
meeting October 17-19, 2004, in Reston, Virginia. This will be NANOG's
third joint meeting with ARIN, the American Registry for Internet Numbers
(www.arin.net). NANOG will meet from Sunday to Tuesday, and ARIN from
Wednesday to Friday, October 20-22. NANOG registration opens September 1.
NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and dissemination
of technical information related to backbone/enterprise 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 500 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. Abstracts should include a concise summary
of findings to be presented in the talk.
Network operators are invited to present case studies detailing their
experiences with network planning and design, protocol implementation,
provisioning, useful tools, traffic engineering, problems solved, DoS
scenarios and mitigation techniques, and troubleshooting, including
automation, approaches, and techniques, Vendors are encouraged to work
with operators to present deployment experiences with the vendor's
products and interoperabilty.
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.
The community is invited to present talks or tutorials on:
- Backbone traffic engineering
- Experience with large-scale VoIP deployments and peering
- Experience deploying metro-optical infrastructure
- Freely available configuration, management, and measurement tools
- Enterprise network security, management, and route control
- Innovative access technologies, including metro-optical and PON
- Case studies on deploying "triple play" (voice, video, data)
- Routing scalability in backbone infrastructures
- Security issues for the Internet core
- Experience deploying L2 VPN/PW and inter-provider L3 VPN
- Impact of BGP dynamics on backbone traffic patterns
- Route processor architecture
- OS architectures and implementations
- SSM deployment experience
- Inter-provider security and routing protocol authentication
- Innovative network deployments supporting GRID
- Circuit2Packet (C2P) experience with legacy services
Tutorials have covered topics such as:
- Troubleshooting BGP
- Configuring IPsec
- Customer-Triggered Real-Time Blackholes
- BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPNs

HOW TO PRESENT
Submit an abstract and draft slides for the presentation in email to
[email protected] The deadline for proposals is September 7, 2004.
While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by September 7, a
limited number of slots may be available after that date for topics that
are exceptionally timely, important, or critical to the operations of the
Internet. Submissions will be reviewed by the NANOG Program Committee, and
presenters will be notified of acceptance by September 20. Final drafts of
presentation slides are due by October 6, and final versions October 13.
NANOG also welcomes suggestions/recommendations for tutorials, panels,
and other presentation topics.
