The panelists will focus on the following key infrastructure issues: What must be done to solve issues of addressing and routing; whether these changes concentrate power in the hands of fewer than ten national players; and, why routing is not scaling well and whether it will take new router architectures to solve this problem. What is Cisco's strategy? Richard Mandelbaum, President and CEO Nysernet Steve Wolff, Director Business Development, Cisco Systems 10:15-10:45 Coffee Break 10:45-12:30 WILL IXCs DRIVE THE ISP MARKET? For the first time the three largest IXCs are major market players. What are the opportunities? Where is the market? What business model shakes out of pursuit of the dial-up-user mass market? Is there a market in high- quality corporate services? What role will TeleGlobe international play? Lane Bess, Director of Product Marketing, AT&T World Net Services Bob Collet, Vice President of Data Services, TeleGlobe International Brad Hokamp, Director, SprintLink Marketing, Sprint Farooq Hussain, Senior Manager, Internet Networking Services, MCI Telecommunications Corporation 12:30-1:30 Hosted Lunch and Exhibits 1:30-2:15 GUARANTEED BANDWIDTH ON DEMAND: THE RSVP PROTOCOL RSVP is a TCP/IP resource reservation protocol that gives users bandwidth on demand. RSVP, which will enable the bandwidth-intensive demands of the automotive industry, is seen as an answer to the lack of user- controllable ATM Switched Virtual Circuits (SVC). What are the business opportunities in the bandwidth-on-demand market? How will RSVP get us there? Richard Blatt, RSVP Program Manager, BBN Planet 2:15-3:15 THE INTERNET MARKET FOR ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI) What is the current market for EDI? What are the challenges (including standards) ahead? What needs to happen to internet infrastructure to grow and strengthen this market? Robert Bower, Senior Director Strategic Relationships Harbinger Corporation Kendra Martin, EDI Manager, American Petroleum Institute, and Chair of the ANSI ASC X12 Committee 3:15-3:45 Break and Exhibits 3:45-5:30 THE FUTURE OF NETWORK INTERCONNECTIONS: NAPs and MAEs Level-three peering among the big five is pushing technology barriers. In the absence of new technology, what are the choices for data exchange between ISPs? In the absence of open multilateral peering agreements, how many public interchanges for use by all ISPs will be viable? Will routing from a neutral third party be accepted? How the routing arbiter and its route servers affect the situation? B. J. Chang, Director Global Network Services, MFS Datanet Peter Ford, Senior Manager of Internet Business Development MCI Telecommunications Corporation Nick Lordi, Director NII/Internet Applications and Analysis, Bellcore Benham Malcom, Director - SprintLink Engineering, Sprint 5:30-7:00 Reception and Exhibits THURSDAY JULY 25, 1996 8:30-9:45 INTERNET TELEPHONY Cells in Frames is a Cornell University project whose goal is to run ATM over 10-BASE-T Ethernet. This will create a single digital communications system for voice, video and data through out the university -- allowing telephones to plug into workstations and thereby render the PBX obsolete. Speakers will explain the Cornell project and IBM's new software that will allow phone calls from the Internet to anywhere in the PSTN. Richard Cogger, Assist Director Information Technologies Cornell University David van Voorhis, Product Manager - Internet MultiMedia, IBM 9:45-10:00 Coffee Break and Exhibits 10:00-11:15 ATM AND THE INTERNET BUSINESS MODEL ATM will find its place in the Internet by the end of this year. Will that place be as a backbone switching fabric or will it be with switched virtual circuits for the sale of reserved bandwidth? Can ATM as a connection-oriented transport fabric be cost effective in a connectionless environment, or will new routing technologies relegate ATM to a peripheral role? John Curran, Chief Technical Officer, BBN Planet Tony Rosatta, ATM Product Manager, Sprint Steve Tabaska, Vice President Data Network Engineering, MCI Telecommunications Corporation Gordon Cook, Moderator 11:30-12:45 RENUMBERING: HOW NECESSARY AN EVIL? The Internet Engineering Task Force's Procedures for Internet and Enterprise Renumbering (PIER) Working Group is developing tools to facilitate renumbering. What help from PIER will be available by when? Why is renumbering necessary? What happens when a large company must renumber its network? What is the cost? Can it be avoided? What benefits, if any, are offered by the network address translator? Roger Fajman, Cochair - PIER Working Group, IETF Don Rolph, Manager - Engineering System Support, Texas Instruments ============ The conference takes place at the Sheraton Crystal City, VA hotel. One subway stop from Washington National airport.
