Dear all,
thank you very much for the report of the special TC6 meeting
in Santiago de Chile.
Many many thanks in particular to Wojtek Cellary (WG 6.11)
for preparing this report in such a short time.
Note:
There is a quite positive addition to the report which is due to the
subsequent IFIP General assembly meeting:
1. When I reported on our plans to go to Africa (Mozambique, South Africa,..)
for tutorials, Ramond Morel and Leon Strous came and proposed
to organise seminars in Ethiopia, too - before WITFOR 2007 (Addis Abeba,
22-24 August 2007).
Proposed topics would be "Networking and Security", perhaps together
with TC11.
The organisation together with WITFOR has the advantage that in this case
the participation of different countries can be almost guaranteed
(whereas in Mozambique we would be limited to people from
that country only; nevertheless, Mozambique is not out and should be
done in addition to that).
Moreover, the problem of finding a suitable location will be
greatly simplified; probably we can stay in the premises where
WITFOR will be held.
2. I contacted thereafter the chairman of DCSC (Developing Country
Support Committee), Prof. Kim from Korea, telling him that
the hotel cost can probably not be covered by the host country,
namely Ethiopia, if the event is connected to WITFOR, since the
majority of partcipants would be expected from other countries
and then the host country would be hardly willing to pay for that.
Immediately, DCSC agreed in its subsequent meeting to allow
up to 3.000 EURO for such purposes.
3. Our plan (to be discussed further in Paris) is now:
2007: Ethiopia (in connection with WITFOR) in August 2007 (before
August 22)
Mozambique; dates still unlear.
2008: South Africa; prbably in September
2009: Brazil; Florianopolis; together with TC3; probably in September.
4. In addition to that we will participate in other events, e.g. in the
traditional series in Latin America which are organised 2007 in Costa Rica
and subsequently in other countries.
Best regards
Otto

JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/
Special Issue on Peer-to-Peer Technologies in Network and Service Management
One of the most interesting and promising technologies of the last five
years is the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. This technology allows users
to voluntarily share computer resources such as storage space,
processing power, and bandwidth. An important characteristic of P2P
systems is that there is little or no central control, and each system
can act as a client as well as a server. Initially, P2P systems were
used for file-sharing purposes; examples of such systems are Kazaa and
Bittorrent. Nowadays, P2P technologies are also used for many other
kinds of applications, including VoIP (Skype), video distribution
(GhostShare), and decentralized auctions (PeerMart).
From a management perspective, P2P systems pose completely different
challenges than traditional client-server systems. P2P systems include
hardly any centralized management components and most distributed
management functions are performed in an automatic way; examples of such
functions include resource discovery, security, and NAT traversal. From
a management perspective, P2P technologies are also interesting to
manage traditional client-server application. Compared to traditional
manager-agent technologies, the promise of P2P technologies is better
scalability, improved reliability, and lower operational costs.
This special issue of Journal of Network and Systems Management will
focus on the management of P2P systems and the use of P2P technologies
for managing traditional systems. Submissions may span a broad range of
topics, including:
• P2P-based management architectures and protocols
• Distributed control and management in P2P systems
• Accounting and payment in P2P environments
• Security and trust management for P2P systems
• (identification, authentication, reputation, auditing)
• Performance, scalability, and reliability of P2P systems
• (bandwidth, CPU load, memory usage)
• Detection and analysis of P2P traffic
• Impact of data retention legislation for P2P systems
• Case studies and measurements
Authors are invited to submit high quality and unpublished papers that
are not under review in any other conference or journal. Submissions
should be in single-column PDF format through the JEMS system
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/jnsm).
Paper preparation instructions can be found in any copy of the Journal,
or by visiting the JNSM Web site at http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/jnsm/.

Network convergence is happening. Globally, major network operators have incorporated network convergence into their strategy to grow service revenues and reduce operating costs. Network convergence is multi-faceted. Convergence occurs in applications (integrated messaging, Voice over IP), in network control (portable numbers, SIP, Mobile IP), in the transport layer, as well as in the access network. In the transport layer, the operators' networks are evolving from multiple networks, each specialized for particular services and applications (Wireline, Wireless, Voice, Data, Signaling), towards single IP-based networks that can support existing and future services and applications. This convergence of networks means that various types of traffic flows, which have been carried by separate specialized networks, must now share the resources of a single network. In the access, for example, a broadband carrier may seek to add mobility to its service offerings by untethering the broadband access with WiFi and, later, WiMax technologies. On the other hand, a mobile carrier is more likely to add broadband to its existing mobility services through evolution to 3G architectures.
Network convergence will be successful only if the quality of the individual services is maintained in the new network environment without undue increased costs. The quality of service delivery is critically dependent on how network performance and availability, as experienced by the traffic flows, are managed. Managing traffic performance is a critical enabler for success. Reaching the desired performance levels requires processes such as network planning, resource engineering, and network monitoring. Such processes have been successfully used in various types of service-specific networks. Converged networks, however, bring new challenges - novel architectures and technologies, new modes of sharing network resources, new quality targets for services and applications, new signaling and control protocols. The impact of multi-operator competition, on traffic demand forecasting, end-to-end QoS provisioning and pricing policies needs to be accounted for in a converged network architecture.
To enable the success of convergence in the face of these centrifugal forces, networks need to be designed to be robust to uncertainty in the traffic demand patterns and to be resilient to failures. Such design objectives motivate interest in robust, resilient network architectures, adaptive resource management and control methods, traffic models of new services and applications, novel traffic engineering methods, revised forecasting techniques, and compatible network planning and design tools.
For more that 50 years, the International Teletraffic Congress has brought together network operators, equipment vendors and academic researchers to share their knowledge on the use of quantitative modeling and analysis to plan, design and operate state-of-the-art network solutions. Network convergence is now the state-of-the art solution. In ITC-20, there will be stimulating discussions on traffic performance in converged networks. ITC20 seeks original paper contributions on recent research results, operational experiences and identification of key future issues in managing the traffic performance of converged networks. The papers should focus on the use of quantitative models, analysis and optimization methods to plan, design and manage converged networks. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:

SCOPE
------------------------------------------------------
Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society.
Advances in the range of network service offerings, performance,
quality of service, security, and ubiquity continue to flourish,
despite global economy fluctuations. Access to experimental
infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user
communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users,
because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided services, the
researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge
gained from hands-on study and analysis, and the service providers,
because of the business exploitation of the network. The goal of
TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks
researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on
past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future
establishment of such infrastructures.
It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification,
integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to
achieving next generation communications.
