there interest brewing around our work.
The following ad for iBAND arrived in my mailbox within hours of your message,

Subject: ADV: Intelligent Network Infrastructure - The New Application Service
A new virtual network layer is emerging that embraces IP
and every other layer upwards. This virtual layer is being
seen as the intelligent infrastructure platform for applications
and services. It enables better control and prioritization
of existing network resources and applications. It
provides critical network functionality that supports the
roll-out of next generation IP applications. And it is supported
by new smarter, more dynamic network management capabilities.
"Content Distribution/Delivery", "Application Acceleration",
"Intelligent Network Services", "Application Infrastructure",
"Dynamic Resource Allocation" and "Smart Bandwidth" are just
some of the new concepts being developed in response to new
requirements from IP network managers. And they are driving
new classes of product features and service capabilities.
Perhaps most importantly, this new smart infrastructure platform
is being driven by commercial pressures and opportunities
confronting managers of IP networks and services.
As network planners look to maximize their investments
in network infrastructure, increase their efficiencies
and design/extend network platforms for new services, the
imperatives behind their planning-to-implementation cycles
increase. In turn, this puts new pressures on but creates
new opportunities for providers of products and services.
There's growing evidence that the dynamics of this vortex
are bringing into question the way in which Internet standards
get created - and whether they get created at all.
Intelligent Network Infrastructure, Dynamic Network Management,
Multi-layer solutions and challenges to the standards process
are key topics being addressed by Judy Estrin of Packet Design
and Charles Muirhead of Orchestream and iGabriel.Net in their
keynotes at the upcoming iBAND conference.
"Internet Infrastructure: Why We Can't Just Paint Over the
Cracks"
Judy Estrin, CEO , Packet Design, Inc.
"Creating, provisioning and managing IP services under massive
commercial pressures"

This move towards more intelligent networks as the platform
for new application services creates challenges and opportunities
for network planners and business managers. How do you best
manage and prioritize IP and application traffic? How do you
scale your network and services? How do you measure performance
and apply the results dynamically to the allocation of network
resources. And how do you take advantage of new sophisticated content
routing and management capabilities? The technologies, the
trends, the twists and turns and the real business implications of
these changes are all the focus of the iBAND conference and showcase,
co-located with ISPCON, November 8-10.
To learn more about the conference, the multi-vendor network
showcase, Birds of a Feather sessions and participants, visit:
http://www.stardust.com/iband
Pioneers in this area include Agilent, Telseon and Orchestream.
You can learn about theirs and other innovative vendor approaches on
the exhibit floor at iBAND. If you'd like to sign up to attend the
conference, please use code "IB01"
We've also gatherered together a collection of resources and
perspectives from industry experts for you. You can hear educational
sessions given by experts from Cisco, Nortel, InterNAP, IXIA Communications,
Deterministic Networks and Aventail. Interviews with pioneers
offer even more perspective on these trends. Please note that this
information will be available for a limited time only.
