Information on Internet2 activities in the international arena.

Dear colleagues and friends,

We wanted to update you on the plans for the Winter 2005 ESCC/Internet2 
Techs Workshop hosted by the University of Utah the week of 12 February.

Registration is now open - the link is off the workshop's main page:
     http://jointtechs.ornl.gov/SLC2005

You'll also find hotel information off that page.

Jt Techs is always receptive of BoFs being held.  If you'd like to organize 
one, please contact any of us.

Before the main workshop kicks off, on Sat the 12th, there are two 
opportunities.  Our hosts have organized a one-day hands-on Wireless 
Security Workshop and Steve Corbató, a new Salt Lake City resident, is 
organizing a ski trip (a couple of days ago he reported that there was 87" 
at Alta:-).  Links for both of these are at the bottom of the workshop's 
main page.

While the agenda isn't completely finished for Jt Techs, much is 
confirmed.  For the Sunday tutorials there are:
  o Troubleshooting Multicast by Caren Litvanyi
  o e2e Tools by Russ Hobby
  o NLR by Dave Jent
  o TCP Tuning by Steve Low

For the plenary sessions we've confirmed several network updates including 
ones on CLARA & GEANT2 to complementing Kevin Thompson's summary of the 
NSF's IRNC awards.  There will also be overviews of GMPLS & the Global 
Lambda Integrated Facility, updates on federal nets efforts to transition 
to v6; talks on measurement & security, and on wireless topics including 
wireless management & 802.1x (several more aren't yet confirmed).

Finally, on Wednesday afternoon there is a pair of in-depth 
sessions.  Joerg Micheel from NLANR is covering Passive Measurement and 
Greg Travis from IndianaU and his merry band are doing a hands-on Intruder 
Workshop.  (You'll need to check a box during registration for Greg's 
workshop.  No additional charge, but it is size restricted.)

As has been our pattern for the last couple of years, Wednesday afternoon 
will also see the start of the more limited-focus ESnet Coordinating 
Committee meeting, which will continue on into Thursday.

We're looking forward to seeing you in SLC next Feb.


Regards,
