SIGCOMM 96 Workshop on Matters Mbone
SIG-Bone
In conjunction with SIGCOMM
96, we held a one day workshop on
on
Date/Time: Tuesday August 27th, from 9am, until 5pm.
Location: HP Auditorium, basement of Gates Computer Science building, Stanford University (see maps of
stanford for how to get there!).
In it we debated on a number of matters including:
- Introduction and Agenda Bashing - Aims and Goals - Jon Crowcroft
- Reliable multicast transports - taxonomy, list of (micro)protocols - Jim Kurose & Lixia Zhang + sanjoy paul + steve mccanne + carsten bormann
- General Discussion...
- ...and Lunch (exact time tba)
- Mbone and WWW HTTPng Games and Caching and Replication - Mostafa Ammar/Christophe Diot et al
- Nachum Shacham - Layered Multicast and Signaling
- The Mbone Sparse Mode PIM 1 meltdown - why and wherefore - Bill Fenner (et al) Mbone Virus explanation by Jhawk
- Hierarchical multicast addressing and routing - Mark Handley, Tony Ballardie et al
- WWW applications recording and multicast - Larry Rowe et al
- SIGCOMM SIGGRAPH proposed collab - Don Brutzman & Mike Macedonia
and Jon...
- Where Next
Slides from most
the reliable multicast transport protocol talks from the workshop
have been captured.
Also on the agenda was a discussion of SIGGRAPH/SIGCOMM liason over
protocols for networked graphics (DIS, VR, and so forth) - Don
Brutzman gave some overview of this. One outcome will be a more
GRAPH oriented workshop at
SIGCOMM 97.
Steve McCanne has also offered to help with this liason.
We have also collaborated over the VRML '97 workshop.
This flowed out of a session at the Paris W3C conference on multicast
and WWW, where it became apparent that there are a number of unsolved
problems with the Mbone (and multicast in general) and that it would
be useful to focus efforts on these.
Details on the room will be added here as and when known.

Dear SIGCOMM '96 Presenter:
This year, SIGCOMM will be make its first MBONE video, audio, and
whiteboard broadcast. The broadcasted events will be the MBONE Tutorial
on 8/27, the SIGCOMM Award address on 8/28, and the first paper session on
8/28.
Because you are a speaker at one of the above-listed sessions, we
provide in this message important guidelines for you to follow when producing
any overheads or slides plan to use in your talk. Complying with these
guidelines will ensure that your presentation is received with high quality
by the MBONE viewing community. Conversely, deviating from these guidelines
may result in reduced broadcast quality of your presentation.
In order to broadcast your visual aids in a whiteboard (wb) session, we
require PostScript for all overheads or slides you will display. Experience
with the MBONE has shown that sending slides acquired by camera from a
distant projection screen results in poor broadcast quality. Broadcasting
slides directly from their "source" PostScript avoids this problem, and
provides all viewers with high-quality slide images.
To facilitate broadcast of your slides, please do the following:
1) Submit PostScript for your slides by email to karp@eecs.harvard.edu, with
the following Subject header line
SIGCOMM slides:
where day is one of 8/27 or 8/28 (your presentation day)
session is the name of your session on that day
name is your full (first and last) name
Please submit your PostScript NO LATER than 7 calendar days before the
day of your presentation; this advance submission is crucial so that we
can identify any problems in your PostScript far enough in advance of the
sessions to notify you of the problem.
2) The PostScript that you submit should be targeted for a lowest common
denominator printer, such as the Apple LaserWriter II NTX.
3) The PostScript that you submit should include any preamble generated by the
MacOS or various Windows operating systems (Mac and PC users only).
4) The PostScript that you submit should be in a single, contiguous file
sent as a single email message.
5) The PostScript that you submit should use _no_ fonts other than the
"Standard 13" which are included with PostScript printers. This is extremely
important, because other fonts will cause the generated PostScript to be
too large (over 32K per page, as the fonts will need to be repeated for
each page in the single-page images the MBONE whiteboard uses). The Standard
13 are fonts such as Courier, Times Roman, Helvetica, Palatino, Zapf Dingbats,
and others. In particular, LaTeX Computer Modern fonts are NOT acceptable.
6) The PostScript that you submit should _not_ contain large bitmaps. Again,
each page must be less than 32K in size for importing into the MBONE whiteboard
to work.
Thank you for your assistance in making our first MBONE broadcast
of SIGCOMM a success! Questions can be directed to Brad Karp, Volunteer
MBONE Broadcast Coordinator, at karp@eecs.harvard.edu.
