  \date={Friday, May 10, 2002}
  \topic={Meetings}
  Managing campus network resources, particularly congested access
  circuits, is an increasing challenge for many campus network
  operators.  Some campuses have turned to special purpose middleboxes
  that are often deployed at the campus edge.  Related to firewalls,
  these "QoS appliances" support a range of functionality, including:
  application classification, DSCP marking, shaping, differentiated
  queuing, and TCP window size spoofing.  Other campuses have turned
  to usage-based accounting, charge-back, quotas, or other policy
  mechanisms.  These various mechanisms are often combined in creative
  ways to meet particular technical and policy objectives.

  This meeting was held at the {\a
  \href=http://www.internet2.edu/activities/html/spring_02.html Spring
  2002 Internet2 Member Meeting--Arlington, VA} and was a partial
  reprise and follow-on to the {\a \href=200201-Tempe.shtml QoS
  Appliances: Disease or Cure?} session held at the {\a
  \href=http://www.ncne.nlanr.net/training/techs/2002/0127/jt-info.html
  NLANR/Internet2 Techs Workshop - Tempe, AZ}.

  \date={January 22nd, 2002}
  \topic={Meetings}
  To manage congested access circuits, some Internet2 members have
  turned to special purpose middleboxes that are often deployed at the
  campus edge.  Related to firewalls, these "QoS appliances" support a
  range of functionality, including: application classification, DSCP
  marking, shaping, differentiated queuing, and TCP window size
  spoofing.  

  To date, the QoS working group has not addressed the implications or
  capabilities of these devices.  To begin to do so, participants in the
  working group have organized a plenary session for the {\a
  \href=http://www.ncne.nlanr.net/training/techs/2002/0127/jt-info.html
  NLANR/Internet2 Techs Workshop} to be held Monday, January 28, 2002.
  This session will include a survey and taxonomy of QoS appliance
  capabilities, several experience talks from campus network operators,
  "pro" and "con" outrageous opinion talks, and a brief panel
  discussion.

  An open follow-up meeting of the Internet2 QoS working group will be
  held at 8pm at the Holiday Inn the following evening to discuss
  next-steps.  

  Addendum (February 8th, 2002): Final slides in PDF and raw notes
  from the WG follow-up meeting are {\a \href=http://www.internet2.edu/qos/wg/Tempe-200201.shtml available}.

  \title={Internet2 Fellowship on Application QoS Needs}
  \date={June 29th, 2001}
  \topic={Research}
   
  We announce Internet2 Fellowship which has been established to study
  and document applications QoS needs. Specifically, the recipient of
  this fellowship will be requested to produce a survey paper and
  create a framework for the ongoing analysis and documentation of the
  relationship between the needs of advanced Internet2 applications
  and new network services being deployed by Internet2.
 
  This is a Fall/short-term fellowship, and only one grant is
  available.  Applicants can be masters or doctoral students or
  faculty members in computer science or a related field. The
  applicant must be available for six months in order to complete the
  expected document. The fellowship will pay $10,000. To apply for
  this fellowship, applicants should send email to:

  fellowship@internet2.edu
