Content Peering stuff at iBAND/ISPCON, Nov 8-10

[Martin Hall <martinh@stardust.com>]

I wanted to give everyone on this list a heads up on some relevant
activities
coming up in a couple of weeks in San Jose, California at the iBAND event
(which occurs with ISPCON, Nov 8-10). In particular, I expect the BoF
listed 
below to generate questions and discussion of the work of this group
and
am pleased that Mark Day and Brad Cain will be there.

One of the things we're trying to do is educate and clarify key
constituencies,
companies and engineers on the technologies, business and relevant new
standards work in the CDN space.

- Jim Ricotta (Cisco) and Al Fink (Adero), business leaders of the
Content Alliance and Content Bridge 
Alliance respectively, are keynote speakers on "Content Delivery: A
New World of Technology, 
Business & Value-Added Services"

- A number of conference sessions will examine and discuss new
developments in the area of content 
peering. Akamai, Inktomi, Cisco, Mirror Image Internet, F5 Networks and
others are represented.

- A Birds of a Feather session will discuss the latest technical work on
the challenges of content peering 
and new work towards content peering standards that address request
direction, content accounting and 
content billing.
