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 (Initial Public Offering) The first time a company offers shares of stock to the public. While not a computer term per se, many founders, employees and insiders of computer companies have found this acronym more exciting than any tech term they ever heard. ) networks in an address at the IIR IIR - Infinite Impulse Response 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 See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force (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 ). Prior to Movaz, Mr. Awduche served as Distinguished Technical Member and acting Director of Global Network Architecture at UUNET (UUNET Technologies, Inc., Fairfax, VA, www.uunet.net) Founded in 1987, UUNET was the first commercial Internet service provider. Originally offering e-mail and news, it became a full Internet service organization providing dial-up and leased line accounts as well as archive space for , 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 (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) and helped pioneer the concept of Multi-Protocol Lambda Switching (MPLambdaS). A respected authority on traffic engineering, Daniel has been very prominent in articulating some of the modern concepts of Internet traffic engineering Internet traffic engineering refers to all the work related to the physical network (usually fiber optic cables, routers, exchanges) that carries Internet traffic between different networks with the objective of reaching the highest levels of capacity in the Internet backbone. . Movaz also is attending the SUPERCOMM conference and exhibition in Atlanta, booth 4864 in Hall E.
