http://www.internet2.edu/events/200105-campusworkshop.shtml

    30-31 May 2000
    Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology
    Atlanta, Georgia

Internet2 and SURA are sponsoring the third in a series of workshops
addressing the campus issues of engineering Internet2 network
infrastructure. Advanced campus networks are key to providing faculty and
students with world class networking infrastructure.  At the Spring 2001
Internet2 Member Meeting the design of the End-to-End Performance Initiative
was presented with the goal to create a predictable and well-supported
environment. Campuses, at the "ends" of the end-to-end connection, play a
crucial role in all aspects of advanced networking.

This workshop is aimed at campus network personnel and will center on
implementing advanced network services in the campus environment and the
End-to-End Performance Initiative. Participants will learn what they can do
now to implement advanced services on their campus. Participants will also
discuss current roadblocks and technologies needed to implement advanced
services.

Planned topics for the workshop include:

+ Campus implementation of Advanced Services including multicast, QoS, and
IPv6
+ End-to-end performance and measurement
+ Network management for End-to-End Services
+ Campus input to the Internet2 direction

A priority will be given to allow one person per Internet2 campus to attend.
Second attendees from a campus will be added on a space available basis.
The workshop will also include selected regional and national networking
representatives and selected corporate members.

The workshops hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, 30 & 31
May, in the Georgia Center for Advanced Telecommunications Technology.

colleges and universities in the southern United States and the District of
Columbia, and Internet2(R), led by over 180 US universities working with
industry and government,
Internet2, are jointly responsible for planning and organizing of the
workshop.
