Speaking Time: 3:45 pm
Topic: Ensuring End-to-End Quality for Internet Video
Points to be covered: DistributionBroadband video usage has grown dramatically, creating challenges for distribution technologies that were originally designed for lower bandwidth media. Ensuring end-to-end video quality now requires video management in the last mile. How can next-generation CDNs work with ISPs to create a superior experience for viewing Internet video? Equally important, what new business models will be required? How can ISPs, CDNs and other technology vendors partner to create a high-quality viewing experience for consumers, and generate revenue for the video distributors and ISPs alike? Moderator: Aditya Kishore, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading Lance Ware, CTO, Technicolor Electronic Distribution Services Andrew Coward, VP, Service Provider Marketing & Partnerships, Juniper Networks Arturo Pereyra, Marketing and Business Development Director, Oracle Phill Robinson, CEO, Velocix

MPLS 2008 is the annual International Conference on Multi-Protocol Label Switching and related technologies. Since its inception, the conference has become the premier event on the subject of MPLS, Generalized MPLS (GMPLS), IP-Optical, and emerging Internet technologies.

Speaking Date: October 19, 2008
Speaker Name : Kireeti Kompella & Eric Peterson
Speaking Time: TBD
Topic: MPLS and Access Technologies

Speaker Name : Rahul Aggarwal
Speaking Time: 4:00 pm
Topic: Next-Generation MVPN Technology and Standards
Points to be covered: Next-Generation (NGEN) MVPN technology based on the aggregated routing architecture, BGP control plane, and MPLS data plane has matured in the last couple of years. This presentation describes the key benefits of NGEN MVPN, its scaling characteristics, and addresses concerns that have been expressed regarding this technology. This presentation provides an update on NGEN MVPN related standards activity in the IETF. It also provides an update on NGEN MVPN implementation and deployment, as well as its use as an infrastructure for other applications.

Topic: Carrying Mission-Critical Multicast and Unicast Traffic Over MPLS Networks
Network operators are increasingly carrying mission-critical traffic, such as PSTN and mobile voice, broadcast TV and air traffic control radar signals, over IP/MPLS networks. These traffic types tends to be much more "fragile" than the traffic traditionally carried over IP/MPLS networks and so place more stringent requirements on the network equipment in terms of reliability and availability. This talk examines how network equipment has evolved to meet these requirements in order to cater for these types of traffic.

An area that has received great attention over the last couple of years is improving convergence times following link or node failure in IP/MPLS networks. We will therefore discuss in detail convergence mechanisms for both the unicast and multicast over MPLS cases. This discussion will be supported by actual test data and will include a variety of cases including failures in the core and failures at the edge of the network.

Multicast over MPLS schemes are now being used to carry mission-critical Professional Broadcast TV and IPTV traffic. A key requirement for many of these deployments is to have full redundancy of network equipment, including the ingress and egress PEs. In some cases, a "live + live" approach is required where two duplicate traffic flows are sent across the network following diverse paths. In other cases, a "live + standby" approach is required. We will compare the merits of the two schemes and describe how both can be readily achieved using Multicast over MPLS technology. This discussion will be accompanied by actual test results to illustrate the operation of the mechanisms.

This area of work has not been previously discussed in a public forum at this level of detail, so should be of great interest to the MPLS 2008 delegates.
