[ga] FYI: Upcoming NANOG meeting

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

The next NANOG meeting will be held October 21-23 in Oakland CA.  
Presentation topics are listed at:  http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0110/topics.html

The agenda includes presentations on:

Diversion & Sieving Techniques to Defeat DDoS 
DoS Attacks in the Real World 
Designing a Testbed for Evaluating DDOS Defense Research 
Trends in Denial of Service Attack Technology 
What Worked and What Didn't: 9/11/01 
ISP Security: Real World Techniques

as well as other non-security-related fare... such as "Enhancing the 
Internet's Administrative Look-up Service" presented by VeriSign Applied 
Research.  

Their abstract points to "efforts to shift this look-up service away from 
whois to other, more capable protocols..."  They describe "a project to 
replace whois with LDAP, and a proposed XML-based directory protocol that 
mirrors much of the effort going into EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol)."
