ADVISORY/Daniel Awduche, Vice President of Network Architecture for Movaz Networks, to Discuss Viable Frameworks for Internet Optical Networks at IIR Annual Fiber Optics Summit in San Francisco.


News/Assignment Editors

ADVISORY...for Wednesday (May 23)

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2001

Daniel Awduche will present a framework for more efficient "IP (Internet Protocol) over optical" (IPO) networks in an address at the IIR Annual Fiber Optics Summit on Wednesday, May 23, 2001 at 10:30 a.m.

The presentation will focus on the IPO context and critical design issues for network engineers and systems manufacturers, namely: control plane functions, architectural models, and related standardization efforts within the IETF IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the Internet community.

The work of the IETF is done in working groups that are chartered to explore specific tasks. The groups are organized into areas, each with two directors.
 (Internet Engineering Task Force).

Prior to Movaz, Mr. Awduche served as Distinguished Technical Member and acting Director of Global Network Architecture at UUNET, a WorldCom company and a global provider of Internet communications services. At UUNET, Daniel led a team of engineers engaged in architecture, design, and development activities aimed at UUNET's next generation network. Daniel is active in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), where he chairs the IP-over-Optical (IPO) working group. He contributed to the development of MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching (networking) label switching - An attempt to combine the best attributes of layer two switching (as in ATM and Frame Relay) with the best attributes of the layer three routing (as in IP).

The key concept in label switching is identifying and marking IP datagrams with labels and forwarding them to a modified switch or router, which then uses the labels to switch the datagrams through the network.
) and helped pioneer the concept of Multi-Protocol Lambda
Lambda
A ratio comparing change in option price to a 1% change in option volatility.

Notes:
It is the partial derivative of the option price with respect to the option volatility. Lambda is used as a synonym for vega, kappa, or sigma.

Switching (MPLambdaS (Multi Protocol LAMBDA Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS.). A respected authority on traffic engineering The ability to guarantee performance in a network for a certain amount of capacity for a certain amount of time. Also known as "traffic management," it implies the ability to analyze the current traffic load and dynamically make necessary adjustments to accommodate the different types of traffic or changing conditions. ATM is known for its traffic engineering capabilities. See traffic engineering methods and ATM., Daniel has been very prominent in articulating some of the modern concepts of Internet traffic engineering.

Movaz also is attending the SUPERCOMM conference and exhibition in Atlanta, booth 4864 in Hall E.
