1:30pm - 5:00pm	Enchantment A & B	Tutorial: BGP Configuration From the IRR This tutorial introduces the Internet Routing Registry (IRR), the Routing Policy Specification Language, (RPSL) and the RtConfig router configuration tool. We explain how to register and query routing policy objects in the IRR. After a brief introduction to routing policies, we discuss RPSL, the language for specifying Internet routing policies in the IRR. We explain several policy examples currently practiced in the Internet and specify them using RPSL. These include as-path prepending, setting preferences and other metrics based on the community attribute, and access lists based on prefix and as-path expressions. <BR><BR> RtConfig is the focus of this tutorial. RtConfig can configure Cisco, Juniper, Nortel, Gated and RSd routers with BGP policies. The amount of configuration it performs is controllable; hence, the amount of information that needs to be published in the IRR is controllable as well. RtConfig can be used to only generate prefix access lists from the IRR, or to generate full-blown router configurations. View full abstract page.	Speakers: Cengiz Alaettinoglu, ISI Cengiz Alaettinoglu works on the Routing Arbiter project at the USC Information Sciences Institute. He co-chairs the IETF Routing Policy System WG, which defined the Routing Policy Specification Language along with the protocols to enable a distributed, secure routing policy system.
1:30pm - 5:00pm	Pavilion I-III	Tutorial: Introduction to MPLS A half-day, interactive tutorial that discusses and demonstrates the interaction between MPLS and the traditional IP routing protocols. The tutorial begins by examining the general requirements for traffic engineering and then presents how specific features of MPLS address these requirements. The tutorial then proceeds to address how advanced features of MPLS work in conjunction with BGP and the IGP (IS-IS or OSPF) to control network traffic. <BR><BR> During the tutorial, the presenters will augment the lecture material by demonstrating various MPLS features including the signaling of LSPs with RSVP, mapping routes to LSPs, configuring LSPs for transit and local traffic, and enabling advanced traffic protection features. <BR><BR> Topics to be covered include: <UL> <LI> Signaling LSPs with RSVP</LI> <LI> Constraint-based traffic engineering</LI> <LI> Extensions to IS-IS and OSPF</LI> <LI> Traffic Engineering Database</LI> <LI> Strict and loose routing</LI> <LI> Administrative groups (a.k.a. Colors)</LI> <LI> Hot-standby and Fast Reroute LSPs</LI> <LI> Applications and advanced features</LI> </UL> View full abstract page.	Speakers: Jeff Doyle, Juniper. Chris Summers, Juniper Networks.

1:30pm - 5:00pm	Pavilion IV -VI	Tutorial: IPv6: Why, What, When, Where?	Speakers: Steve Deering, Cisco Systems Steve Deering is a Technical Leader at Cisco Systems , where he is working on the development and standardization of architectural enhancements to the Internet Protocol. Prior to joining Cisco in 1996, he spent six years at Xerox\'s Palo Alto Research Center, engaged in research on advanced internet technologies, including multicast routing, mobile internetworking, scalable addressing, and support for multimedia applications over the Internet. He is a member of the Internet Architecture Board, a present or past chair of numerous Working Groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the inventor of IP Multicast, and the lead designer of the new version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University.	Steve Deering Presentation(PDF) Steve Deering Presentation(PPT)
7:30pm - 9:00pm	Pavilion I-III	Tutorial: Crafting Confederations The purpose of this tutorial is to present a framework for the construction of a BGP architecture for mid- to large-sized ISPs utilizing BGP confederations. The primary building block for this approach is the concept of the \"POP as Confederation\". While concentrating on theory, this session will also highlight the real world implementation of this approach on Cisco routers at Mindsping, and on Juniper routers at NetRail. Elements include: <UL> <LI> Meaningful MEDs for customers, as well as basic, non-MPLS traffic engineering. <BR><BR></LI> <LI> A well thought-out community structure to optimize route filtering and propagation. <BR><BR></LI> <LI> Special areas of interest include supporting wholesale dialup and broadband providers (OPN) and allowing customers the maximum possible control of their routing. <BR><BR></LI> </UL> With the rise of a new generation of service providers, many of which are based on broadband technologies, there is an opportunity to take a new look at service provider design. This session is designed to address the concerns of such emerging providers as they outgrow their current architectures and look for new approaches. View full abstract page.

10:15am - 10:45am	Pavilion IV-VI	Bellwether: Surrogate Services for Popular Content The presenters will describe the architecture and performance characteristics of an open source surrogate system called \"bellwether,\" based on squid and zebra. This system implements an outward facing proxy (surrogate) that acts on behalf of a content source to handle requests for content that is experiencing a sudden spike in popularity due to a flash crowd or \"CNN event.\"<BR> As a brief overview, subscribed content sources activate a surrogate placed near a network border using a protocol based on NECP (Network Element Control Protocol). The surrogate then activates an overlay network, which uses standard IBGP and GRE tunnels to ensure that it is part of the data path for new requests for content.<BR> <BR> This system is designed to reduce both load on content servers and on the networks hosting those servers. The presenters will discuss both how an outward-facing proxy\'s focus on data already known to be popular can improve cache performance and present data for the specific cache replacement policies which have been tested.

3:30pm - 4:00pm	Pavilion IV-VI	Mail Metering, or How to Block Outbound Spam ZipLink is currently working on a technical solution to the problem of outbound spam. We are a wholesale dialup ISP, and as such, can be a source of spam. Our idea is to track, utilizing RADIUS accounting records fed into an Oracle database, the IP addresses and usernames of all customers logging into our dial up ports. Then, when a customer attempts to send email, their outbound mail connection is redirected to a mail relay which checks their current number of outbound messages against preset limits in the database. If they exceed any of the limits, the message is bounced/dropped. If they do not exceed the limit, the message is allowed to go through and their email counts in the database are updated to reflect their most recent activity.<BR> We have successfully prototyped this functionality in a lab environment, and are just now beginning limited POP testing before a full scale rollout to follow later this year.
