Program

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing very recent work in gigabit networking and to raise relevant issues to the general networking community in a timely manner. The workshop consists of a number of short informal presentations and discussion on current research and implementation, hot topics, position statements, and controversial issues relating to high bandwidth networking. The focus is on end-to-end issues including transport and higher layer protocols, host and network interface architecture, operating systems, emerging applications, deployment and management of large networks, economic and regulatory issues, security and privacy, and other societal impacts. We are particularly interested on the theme of high performance distributed information access designed to scale to gigabit giganode networks with a high (number of users) × (throughput per user) product, including:

high-performance authentication and security (hardware and software solutions, and their trade-off)
low latency name resolution (e.g. URL and URC) and name service (e.g. URL and DNS)
high-performance distributed IPC, shared memory, and file systems
high-performance information access and interactive service support
high-performance low latency transactions, session control, and network signalling

Discussion: High Performance Web: Distributed interactive objects are emerging as a distinct and dominant transport class. The current web is a simple example of these objects. In addition to the issues listed above, GBN `97 is seeking abstracts specifically addressing:

How the Web changes GBNs: are there new transport classes to be considered?
how GBNs change the Web: what should a high bandwidth Web look like?

Workshop wrap-up
TCGN business and issues
What is Gigabit networking, and what should our role be?
