Abstract    A Blueprint for Introducing Disruptive Technology into the Internet
A new class of geographically distributed network services is emerging, and the most effective way to design, evaluate, and deploy these services is by using an overlay-based testbed. Unlike conventional network testbeds, however, we advocate an approach that supports both researchers that want to develop new services, and clients that want to use them. This dual use, in turn, suggests four design principles that are not widely supported in existing testbeds: services should be able to run continuously and access a slice of the overlay's resources, control over resources should be distributed, overlay management services should be unbundled and run in their own slices, and APIs should be designed to promote application development. This talk describes this high-level vision, and reports the status and plan for the realization of the vision in PlanetLab.
 
Abstract    Experience Implementing an Extensible Router
Recent efforts to add new services to the Internet have increased interest in software-based routers that are easy to extend and evolve. At the same time, emerging network processors make it possible to build an IP router that is both extensible and has better performance than commercially available enterprise routers. This talk describes our experiences implementing an extensible router, with a particular focus on how we allocate and schedule the router's resources.
 
Biography   Larry Peterson is a Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. Prior to joining Princeton, he was the Head of the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona. He is currently on leave from Princeton, working at Intel Research, Berkeley. His research focuses systems-related issues in computer networks, and he is a co-author of the textbook Computer Networks: A Systems Approach.

Professor Peterson is the Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, and he has served on the editorial boards for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, and the ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems. He is the program chair of the inaugural HotNets workshop and the next SOSP. Peterson received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1985.
