This is the sixth conference in the series which started in 1981 in Paris, followed by conferences held in Zurich (1984), Rio de Janeirio (1987), Barcelona (1991), and Raleigh (1993). The main objective of this IFIP conference series is to provide a platform for the exchange of recent and original contributions in communications systems in the areas of performance analysis, architectures, and applications. There are many exiciting trends and developments in the communications industry, several of which are related to advances in Asynchronous Transfer Mode·(ATM), multimedia services, and high speed protocols. It is commonly believed in the communications industry that ATM represents the next generation of networking. Yet, there are a number of issues that has been worked on in various standards bodies, government and industry research and development labs, and universities towards enabling high speed networks in general and ATM networks in particular. Reflecting these trends, the technical program of the Sixth IFIP W.G. 6.3 Conference on Performance of Computer Networks consists of papers addressing a wide range of technical challenges and proposing various state of the art solutions to a subset of them. The program includes 25 papers selected by the program committee out of 57 papers submitted.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP-TC6/European Union International Conference, NETWORKING 2000, held in Paris, France, in May 2000. The 82 revised full papers presented were selected from a total of 209 submissions. The book presents the state of the art in networking research and development. Among the topics covered are wireless networks, optical networks, switching architectures, residential access networks, signaling, voice and video modeling, congestion control, call admission control, QoS, TCP/IP over ATM, interworking of IP and ATM, Internet protocols, differential services, routing, multicasting, real-time traffic management, resource management and allocation, and performance modeling.

NETWORKING 2000. Broadband Communications, High Performance Networking, and Performance of Communication Networks

Enabling group communication is one of the major challenges for the future Internet. Various issues ranging from services and applications to protocols and infrastructure have to be addressed. Moreover, they need to be studied from various angles and therefore involve skills in multiple areas. COST264wascreatedtocontributetothisinternationale?orttowardsgroup communication and related technologies. The European COST framework is ideal for establishing a new community of interest, providing an open forum for ideas, and also supporting young researchers in the ?eld. The COST264 action, o?cially started in late 1998, aims at leveraging the European research in this areaandcreatingintensiveinteractionattheinternationallevel.Tothispurpose, COST264 decided to organize an annual technical workshop, the “International Workshop on Networked Group Communication”. NGC’99 in Pisa is the ?rst event of the series. Despitethisbeingthe?rstworkshopanddespitetheveryshorttimebetween the Call for Papers and the deadline for submissions, and the other con?icting andmoreestablishedevents,theCallforPapersofNGC’99washighlysuccessful: we received 49 papers, of which 18 were selected to compose the basis of the technical program. We hope you will enjoy our paper selection, which is the VI Preface core of these proceedings, and addresses important issues in the research and development of networked group communication. In addition to refereed contributions, we scheduled two keynote speakers (Christophe Diot and Steve Deering), and four invited talks by Ken Birman (Cornell), Bob Briscoe (BT), Radia Perlman (SUN), Tony Speakman (CISCO).

The 3rd Asian Internet Engineering Conference (AINTEC) followed the ?rst two successful editions held in Bangkok, Thailand, and focused on developing synergies between researchers in Asia and worldwide, but was also a unique chanceforyoung,talentedregionalscientiststomeetandinteract.AINTEC2007 wasthereforeamajoropportunityforpresentationsanddiscussionsaroundthese objectives. In particular, it aimed at addressing issues pertinent to the Asian region with vast diversities of socio-economic and networking conditions while inviting high-quality and recent research results from the global international research community to be presented. The conference is single-track to favor discussions among a diverse set of participants. We want to thank the authors of the 66 papers submitted for considering AINTEC as the right target for their paper. The submissions came from 18 countries with, as expected, a majority from Asia. The program was composed of 14 accepted papers organized in 6 technical sessions including 7 invited talks by leading experts on innovative topics, presentations of papers, demos, posters and a pre-conference18th Asian School on Computer Science (November, 25–26 2007). You might think that AINTEC is yet another conference but it has di?erent objectives and spirit, it o?ers a great opportunity to discuss future challenges for a sustainable Internet, and to get to know the local and regional researchers and enjoy the great hospitality of Thailand.

Sustainable Internet

This was the first conference jointly organized by the IFIP Working Groups 6. 2, 6. 3, and 6. 4. Each of these three Working Groups has its own established series of conferences. Working Group 6. 2 sponsors the Broadband Communications series of conferences (Paris 1995, Montreal 1996, Lisboa 1997, Stuttgart 1998, and Hong-Kong 1999). Working Group 6. 3 sponsors the Performance of Communication Systems series of conferences (Paris 1981, Zürich 1984, Rio de Janeiro 1987, Barcelona 1990, Raleigh 1993, Istanbul 1995, and Lund 1998). Working Group 6. 4 sponsors the High Performance Networking series of conferences (Aaren 1987, Liège 1988, Berlin 1990, Liège 1992, Grenoble 1994, Palma 1995, New York 1997, Vienna 1998). It is expected that this new joint conference will take place every two years. In view of the three sponsoring Working Groups, there were three separate tracks, one per Working Group. Each track was handled by a different co chairman. Specifically, the track of Working Group 6. 2 was handled by Ulf Körner, the track of Working Group 6. 3 was handled by Ioanis Stavrakakis, and the track of Working Group 6. 4 was handled by Serge Fdida. The overall program committee chairman was Harry Perros, and the general conference chairman was Guy Pujolle. A total of 209 papers were submitted to the conference of which 82 were accepted. Each paper was submitted to one of the three tracks.
