CALL FOR REGISTRATION
7th International Conference on Network Protocols
October 31 - November 3, 1999
The Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Canada
www.computer.org/conferen/home/icnp/
ICNP is one of the premier conferences in the computer networking
field. This year ICNP'99 will be held in Toronto, whose name is a
Huron Indian word meaning "place of meeting". Toronto is Canada's
largest city, the capital of the province of Ontario, and one of the
most exciting and progressive cities in the world. Its attractions are
far too numerous to list.
The conference will be held at the famous Royal York Hotel. The Royal
York has been in operation since 1929 and is one of the grand hotels
of Canada. It is located in the centre of downtown Toronto, a focal
point for shopping, culture and nightlife.

Internet Telephony
Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University
Internet telephony or voice-over-IP (VoIP), the use of the Internet to
replace parts of the existing circuit-switched telephone network, holds
the promise of fundamentally changing how telephone calls are made.
Beyond replacing the circuit-switched network, VoIP has the potential of
making phone service as flexible and programmable as email and web
service, speed the availability of multimedia communications, as well as
integrating phone service with existing common Internet services.
This tutorial introduces the major components needed to support
telephony in the Internet: signaling, quality-of-service support and
media transport. It covers the basic signaling protocols, such as
H.323, MGCP/Megaco and SIP, as well as how to use them to provide common
and advanced services. VoIP will likely be a major user of resource
reservation and differentiated services, possibly with charging and
policy extensions. Finally, voice and video data has to be carried
efficiently across the network.
For the foreseeable future, Internet telephony has to interwork with the
existing phone system. We discuss how this can be done, either by
viewing the Internet telephone as a switch or as an end system. A basic
introduction to the existing telephone architecture will be provided.

---------
Henning Schulzrinne received his undergraduate degree in economics and
electrical engineering from the Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt,
Germany, in 1984, his MSEE degree as a Fulbright scholar from the
University of Cincinnati, Ohio and his Ph.D. degree from the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1987 and
1992, respectively. From 1992 to 1994, he was a member of technical
staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill. From 1994-1996, he was
associate department head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin), before joining the
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments at Columbia
University, New York. His research interests encompass real-time,
multimedia network services in the Internet and modeling and performance
evaluation.
He is an editor of the Journal of Communications and Networks and IEEE
Communications Society editor of the IEEE Internet Computing Magazine.
He co-chairs the IEEE Communications Society Internet Technical
Committee and is vice chair of the IEEE Communications Society Technical
Committee on Computer Communications. He has been vice general chair of
IEEE Infocom and will be co-technical chair of that conference in 2000.
Protocols co-developed by him are now Internet standards, used by almost
all Internet telephony and multimedia applications.

Mobile Networking with Mobile IP
Charles E. Perkins, Sun Microsystems
When mobile computers move, and attach themselves to new networks
within the Internet, they can use mobile-IP as a means to achieve
seamless roaming transparently to application software. In this
situation, transparent means that the applications work just as
before, and don't need to be recompiled or reconfigured. Seamless
means that roaming from one place to another occurs without
inconvenience to the user. As long as a physical path exists for
communication, the user might not even be aware when a cell boundary
has been crossed. The objective of the seminar is to lay out the
necessary protocol technology to allow mobile computers to use
mobile-IP, and to describe the relevant operation of other protocols
which can be used to aid mobility.
In this tutorial, I will explore in detail all aspects of
mobile-IP and other standard protocols that further simplify
the operation of mobile computers in the Internet, including:
- Mobile Agent advertisements
- Registration procedures
- Tunneling mechanisms
- The role of Security
- Home Agents
- Foreign Agents
- How to set up a home network
- Getting Care-of Addresses via DHCP
- Route Optimization
- Smooth handoffs
- Reverse tunnels and filtering by border routers
- IPv6 mobility support
- AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)
The seminar is intended for anyone who is interested in learning
about how to use mobile-IP, create a home network for mobile
users within their organization, or explore new Internet protocols
and mobile computing. This includes programmers, administrators,
network managers, and mobile computer users who are already familiar
with using the Internet.
The following is a rough outline of the tutorial, which will be adapted
to fit the interests of the audience and the time available.
