The possibility of the Internet's impending collapse due to the  
explosive growth in Internet bandwidth use is a recurring high-profile  
theme in the popular media.

However, the reality of measuring and understanding Internet bandwidth  
growth and its implications at macro-scales is complex. While policy  
debates around issues such as "network neutrality" are underway,  
network operators are already managing their networks to address  
issues raised by bandwidth-intensive applications.

This briefing session will share, in accessible terms, the realities  
of measuring bandwidth growth on the Internet today, as well as  
efforts to identify and deal with issues it raises, addressing  
questions such as:

* Is there anything different about bandwidth growth today that will  
cause problems not faced in the past?

* Are there better ways than those currently employed by network  
operators to manage issues raised by bandwidth-intensive applications?

* How does related work underway in the IETF factor into these issues?

Internet Society's Leslie Daigle will moderate a distinguished panel  
of Internet experts including:

* Kenjiro Cho, Senior Researcher for Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) -  
one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network  
solutions providers.

* Lars Eggert, Principal Scientist at Nokia Research Center (NRC),  
IETF Transport Area Director -NRC explores technology frontiers,  
solving scientific challenges today, for Nokia to deliver irresistible  
personal experiences tomorrow.

* Danny McPherson, Chief Security Officer, Arbor Networks - leading  
provider of secure service control solutions for global business  
networks.

* Richard Woundy, Senior Vice President, Comcast - one of the United  
States' leading providers of entertainment, information and  
communication products and services.
