SIGCOMM & networking in Latin America

[Craig Partridge <craig () aland bbn com>]

Hi folks:

While I'm often reminded that network operators don't have time to read
papers, much less write them, I thought I'd take a small risk and let you
know about a new workshop.  ACM SIGCOMM is kicking off a workshop on
networking in Latin America -- it is a research workshop with a focus
on the unique networking problems of Latin America (a far cry from the
fiber rich networking diet we have here in the States).

CFP is http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm-la (in Spanish with pointer to
English version).

Also, speaking of papers -- if you haven't yet read Craig Labovitz's paper
on BGP taking N-factorial messages to deal with a topology change, you'd
probably find it of interest.  It was given at SIGCOMM 2000 last week.  URL is:

Thanks!

Craig
