don't mean to add noise but
agree this topic matters to nanog
(matters way more than folks have time for it, i know)
so, fwiw: the IEC project
(http://iec.caida.org,
inspired by listening to ispfolks articulate
these concerns for last few years)
in addition to relevant workshops/materials/
eventual.video.instruction online,
just announced an RFP (included below) for its newly
NSF-sponsored program to develop hands-on
Internet Teaching Labs (ITLs) using routers
and other equipment donated from vendors
one of criteria in selecting candidate schools is
existence of collaboration or mentoring relationships
between the faculty/school and an ISP or vendor
round 1 due sept 17; round 2 oct 15

Subject: Internet Teaching Lab Solicitation
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 16:07:48 -0700
Dear Colleague,
While the demand for networking engineers is growing rapidly, few
networking courses include a hands-on laboratory component, often due to a
lack of equipment. The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis
(CAIDA) is therefore expanding its Internet Engineering Curriculum (IEC)
program to work with hardware vendors and Internet providers to better
equip Universities to meet the needs of next generation engineers.
Universities interested in adding an Internet Teaching Laboratory (ITL) to
their networking courses are encouraged to submit proposals in response to
the ITL solicitation located at:
http://iec.caida.org/itl_solicitation.html
ITL Phase I donations include roughly 100 routers, interface cards and
software from Cisco Systems. Additional equipment, including CSU/DSUs and
terminal servers, may also be available from additional donors. All
contributions will be shipped directly to the recipient Universities, with
CAIDA assisting the evaluation process, ITL implementation, and subsequent
ITL collaborations. Selection of Universities will be by CAIDA's IEC
Advisory Board, consisting of representatives from the commercial and
academic communities.
Any U.S. College or University faculty member that will be teaching
networking courses during the academic year may submit proposals for a
Phase I ITL facility. Parties planning to submit a proposal are encouraged
to send a 1-2 page letter (email) by September 3, 1999 describing plans for
an ITL. This letter of Intent will permit CAIDA personnel to notify
interested institutions of the availability of any additional equipment
that may assist with the planned Lab.
Proposals will be reviewed in two rounds, due September 17, 1999 and
October 15, 1999. Proposals not selected in the first round may be
resubmitted in round 2. If your proposal is selected, the official
University paperwork must be done, including a letter of commitment from
the University.
Proposals and questions concerning the solicitation or equipment should be
submitted electronically to itl at caida.org.
On behalf of IEC Co-PIs, kc claffy and Evi Nemeth, and myself, we look
forward to your involvement in this program.
Sincerely,
Theresa Ott
IEC Project Coordinator
CAIDA
