ISOC@IETF 82 Briefing Panel: Beyond PUT, POST and GET: application data routing carves its own path
Location: Taipei International Convention Center
Date: Tuesday, 15 November 2011
11:45 - 12:45 (local time)

Applications and services are how most people see the Internet -- and their "quality of experience" is directly related to their smooth functioning:  flow of application data.  The Internet's underlying infrastructure for routing packets has proven eminently successful for supporting a broad range of such applications and services by connecting any and all endpoints, forwarding packets of data based on best effort, and overall optimized for general characteristics of flows.  Applications and services are evolving well beyond simple client-server models, and feature their own metrics for efficiency and effectiveness of moving data.  General Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) evolved as a mechanism for getting application data closer to its use.   Increasingly, access providers are looking to provide their own CDNs, and new work is looking at applications from the information routing perspective -- named data, information centric, or name oriented networking, to name a few.  The panel will survey these approaches and address a number of basic questions.

Aaron has been active in the IETF for over 15 years, serving as chair of the Internet Research Task Force and several IETF transport area working groups, in addition to authoring RFC5241.

David Oran
David Oran is a Fellow at Cisco Systems. His technical interests lie in the areas of Internet multimedia, routing, and content networking. He was part of the original team that started Cisco's Voice-over-IP business in 1996 and helped grow it into a multi-billion dollar revenue stream. He is currently working on streaming high quality video over IP networks, and new methods of caching and massive scale data delivery. Prior to joining Cisco, Mr. Oran worked in the network architecture group at Digital Equipment, where he designed routing algorithms and a distributed directory system. Mr. Oran has led a number of industry standards efforts. He was a member of the Internet Architecture Board, co-chair of the Speech Services working group, and served a term as area director for Routing in the IETF. He was on the board of the SIP Forum from its inception through 2008. He also serves on the technical advisory boards of a number of venture-backed firms in the networking and telecommunication sectors.

Richard Woundy
Richard Woundy is VP of Platform Architecture in Comcast Cable. In this position, he is responsible for leading the platform architecture team on new product development initiatives.
