Slides and Abstracts

Growing Pains: the Internet in Adolescence
Fred Baker

Uncompressed slides (2.12 Mb), gzipped slides (1.64 Mb)

The Internet was once a toy; it is now a service, and is well on the way to becoming a utility. The IETF, which develops standards for the Internet, was once a group of friends who largely shared a common view of the Internet and did things because they were "right for the Internet". Commercial interests increasingly force the IETF to respond to the needs of a service or a utility, and are increasingly asking the IETF to design facilities because they will make money regardless of their architectural value.

The IETF is responding, with the intention of finding the best of both - developing technologies that are needed by service and utility providers in ways that are good for the Internet. This response is partly organizational, and partly a matter of shifting burdens of responsibility. I will discuss this change in focus, mindset, and process.

What are Web Services all about?
Ramin Marzbani

The adoption of web services by industry to-date has been patchy. However, opportunities traditionally reserved for large business in the adoption of these new technologies are now becoming increasingly available to SMEs - driven by networking enhancements and software technology.

Which Wireless Where?
Narelle Clark

Uncompressed slides (11.25 Mb), gzipped slides (11.24 Mb)

This talk will provide an overview of wireless systems and services. Undoubtedly, wireless technology has become this year's panacea to all ills in the communications industry. With this there has been a proliferation of wireless systems, devices and services. How do we make sense of all the hype? When do we opt for one wireless technology over another, and are there guaranteed winners and losers in the technology race?

Mobile Location and the Transformed Network
Martin Dawson

Uncompressed slides (0.92 Mb), gzipped slides (0.65 Mb)

This presentation looks at mobile location determination as it applies to current cellular networks. The drivers for development are emergency and commercial demands, and the resulting evolution of location determination will transform network services.

Accessing the Mobile Node
Tony Hain

Uncompressed slides (3.43 Mb), gzipped slides (2.69 Mb)

While there is an obvious market for providing services to wireless clients, the full potential of the mobile Internet will only be achieved when portable devices provide services. This talk will discuss the features of IPv6 that will simplify that process.

Delivering Applications that will Challenge the Internet
Paul Boustead

Uncompressed slides (6.06 Mb), gzipped slides (4.37 Mb)

In the past a considerable body of research has been devoted to enable web servers to scale, and provide good performance to users. These techniques include hierarchical caching, server clustering and content distribution networks. However, there is more to the Internet than the World Wide Web. When the next generation of much more highly resource intensive, delay sensitive Internet wide applications become popular, how will the current network and server infrastructures cope?

Web Services, Rich Semantics and the Evolving Web
Tim Mansfield

Uncompressed slides (0.79 Mb), gzipped slides (0.71 Mb)

In the last ten years we have witnessed the growth of the Web as a global, hyperlinked active document store that is based on open standards and distributed data under user control. We are bearing witness to the growth of the Web as a distributed computational environment founded on a global space of machine-interpretable data. This talk will skim lightly over RDF, OWL, Web Services and their place in the Web as it evolves.

Making The Internet Go Away
Grenville Armitage

Uncompressed slides (0.69 Mb), gzipped slides (0.46 Mb)

While networking research has to date focussed on making an Internet that does something useful, we are entering an era when the focus should be on refining the Internet's underlying protocols and architectures to the point where society ceases to be aware that it is even there.

Why IPv6 Will Find its Way Into Your Home
Roger Kermode

Uncompressed slides (3.50 Mb), gzipped slides (3.04 Mb)

Despite the dot com bubble's busting, home networking still represents a major growth area for networking products. This talk examines the benefits that IPv6 affords for consumers when it's deployed in their homes, and further describes a deployment scenario that will ultimately see IPv6 deployed with minimal carrier assistance.

IPv6 Facts and Fictions
Geoff Huston

Uncompressed slides (0.16 Mb), gzipped slides (0.09 Mb)

This talk looks at the current status of IPv6 and attempts to address some of the more prevalent items of folklore that surround this technology. Why is IPv6 considered necessary and, more importantly, when will it be necessary?

IPv6: Implications for Tomorrow's Broadband Architecture(s)
Michael Biber

Uncompressed slides (0.17 Mb), gzipped slides (0.16 Mb)

- Implications of IPv6 for Broadband and Mobility Networks
- Comparing IPv6 Advantages over IPv4 and assessing the unique value propositions for IPv6
- Assessing the impact of migration from IPv4 to IPv6 on existing applications and customers
- Identifying the impact of IPv6 on Business Strategies for Voice Data Video Convergence
