Latest B-RAS Developments - Live Online Meeting

Listen as Agere, Cisco, CoSine Communications & Net.com on Thursday, September 9, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time as they dig into the Broadband Remote Access Server (B-RAS) market.

This market continues to ramp up driven by RFPs from SBC and other carriers and by an increased level of interest in Asia.

This live online meeting assesses the hot market and looks at the technological developments following the DSL Forum’s landmark reports, which have spelled out equipment requirements and network architectures for delivering QOS-enabled IP services over DSL infrastructure.

While the Forum’s Technical Report 59 appears to have been well received, more detailed B-RAS requirements are still being worked out in Working Text 92 – The B-RAS Specification.

Questions that must be addressed include:

1. Will the challenging scaling requirements still be in?
2. Will the further ATM developments remain?
3. Will Firewalls and VPLS still be “preferred” rather than mandatory?
4. Are vendors implementing these features?

The live online meeting will take an in-depth tour of B-RAS developments,paying particular attention to the following issues:

1. The different B-RAS technologies required in WT 92
2. The continuing debate over centralized versus distributed B-RAS
3. Progress of IP DSLAMs in integrating B-RAS capability
4. Scaling issues with metro B-RAS and collocated B-RAS
5. The role of the B-RAS in providing security services

The live online meeting will identify fundamental drivers for further core investment and carrier requirements for the new core, showing how they're being addressed by equipment manufacturers. In addition, they will address the following questions:

1. Why is this next-gen core needed?
2. How is this build-out different from the existing core?
3. What features will carriers require for the next-gen IP/MPLS core?

Stopping Spam The one way, the right way, and the best way Live Online Meeting

On September 8, 2004 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific join MailFrontier and Ziff Davis Media for this engaging live online meeting that will help your IT department cut it's risks of getting spam.

Spam continues to be a problem for most companies. In a 2004 TechRepublic survey of over 500 IT managers, only 12 percent indicated that they were satisfied with their current anti-spam product. That means, even with a "solution" in place, more than 80 percent of these managers--and their companies—found that they had not solved their spam problems.

Most anti-spam products champion one "right" approach to stopping spam. Statistical content analysis. Community-based review. Authentication. RBLs. SPF. The list goes on.

With so many "right" ways, how do you figure out the best way for your company? 

Participants in this online meeting will learn:

1. The different approaches to stopping spam—and the pros and cons of each
2. Common myths and truths about stopping spam
3. The new, smart, and scary tactics used by spammers to evade anti-spam technology
4. How to choose an anti-spam solution that satisfies you, your users, and your organization
