F2C: Freedom to Connect 2015

F2C: Freedom to Connect 2012 The F2C:Freedom to Connect Conference is taking place in Washington DC today and tomorrow May 21-22 2012. Speakers include Vint Cerf, Rebecca Mackinnon, Cory Doctorow, Sascha Meinrath, Susan Crawford, and Eben Moglen.

F2C: Freedom to Connect, inaugurated in 2005, is a conference devoted to preserving and celebrating the essential properties of the Internet. The phrase Freedom to Connect is now official US foreign policy, thanks to Secretary of State Clinton, who said in 2010 “the idea that governments should not prevent people from connecting to the internet, to websites, or to each other. The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace.”

Registration for the webcast is $20, however since ISOC-NY is sponsoring the webcast we can offer our members free access. For the password: email [email protected] with the subject “F2C webcast”. The webcast will be publically archived at https://www.youtube.com/user/F2C2012

ACM Discussion – BufferBloat: What’s Wrong with the Internet? #bufferbloat @ACMQueue

by
ACM

ACMIn an ACM discussion BufferBloat: What’s Wrong with the Internet? (pdf) TCP experts Vint Cerf, Van Jacobson, Nick Weaver, and Jim Gettys discuss the growing problem of clogged networks.

From the preamble:

Bufferbloat refers to excess buffering inside a network, resulting in high latency and reduced throughput. Some buffering is needed; it provides space to queue packets waiting for transmission, thus minimizing data loss. In the past, the high cost of memory kept buffers fairly small, so they filled quickly and packets began to drop shortly after the link became saturated, signaling to the communications protocol the presence of congestion and thus the need for compensating adjustments.

Because memory now is significantly cheaper than it used to be, buffering has been overdone in all manner of network devices, without consideration for the consequences. Manufacturers have reflexively acted to prevent any and all packet loss and, by doing so, have inadvertently defeated a critical TCP congestion-detection mechanism, with the result being worsened congestion and increased latency.

Now that the problem has been diagnosed, people are working feverishly to fix it. This case study considers the extent of the bufferbloat problem and its potential implications.

With almost two billion people online, the Internet is a catalyst for boundless creativity and growth. But the decisions we make in the coming months and years will determine whether it remains a global platform for innovation and expression for people everywhere. Join us on June 14 as we set the agenda for the future of an open Internet. We’ll identify and examine the critical decisions that will shape the future of the Internet:

  • Who will help define the Internet’s evolution?
  • What role should government and private industry play?
  • How do we provide greater bandwidth and access?
  • What does online privacy mean in the age of Facebook and Wikileaks?

This is a unique opportunity to network with the thought leaders and policy makers who are designing the global networks of tomorrow and help develop the policies that will drive future Internet innovation. Space is limited so it is advisable to register a.s.a.p.
