The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 25th
meeting June 9-11, 2002, in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada (just outside
Toronto). The meeting will be hosted by Group Telecom.  Registration
begins April 22.
 
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 500
participants, mainly consisting of engineering staff from national service
providers, and members of the research and education community.  <p>

The meeting will be held at the the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North. For

    - Inter-provider security and routing protocol authentication 
    - Routing scalability in backbone infrastructures 
    - Security issues for the Internet core 
    - Routing policy specification and backbone router configuration 
    - Building large-scale measurement infrastructure 
    - Cooperative inter-provider caching 
    - Alternatives to hot-potato routing 
    - Recommendations on queue management and congestion avoidance 
    - Experience with differentiated services 
    - Inter-domain multicast deployment 
    - Backbone network failure analysis 

Tutorials have covered topics such as:

    - Inter-domain traffic engineering: principles, applications, and 
        case studies
    - BGP multihoming guide
    - ISP security: real world techniques 
    - IP multicast technologies

HOW TO PRESENT

Submit a detailed abstract or outline describing the presentation in email
to nanog-support at nanog.org.  The deadline for proposals is April 29, 2002.  
While the majority of speaking slots will be filled by April 29, a limited
number of slots will be available after that date for topics that are
