This year’s ITEXPO (News - Alert) West is in full swing and the best is saved for last on the final day, September 3, 2009.

 

One such event is conference session, “Enabling Ultra Low Latency Applications over Ethernet,” at 8:30 a.m. at the Los Angeles Convention Center. 
 

Presented by CTO Grant Kirkwood of Mzima (News - Alert) Networks, the session will cover the rapid adoption of VoIP, telepresence and IP-based conferencing and how it is placing significant demands on the packet-based networks required to deliver these real-time services with carrier-grade quality of service.

 

Managing the QoS of an increasing number of co-existing, IP-based applications is a challenge for service providers seeking to differentiate their offerings and maintain market share in an increasingly competitive landscape.

 

Therefore, this session will provide an overview of service mapping and traffic management techniques that can be employed to establish high-performance services, including bandwidth policing, traffic filtering and shaping, as well as developments in technology that allow near-zero latency implementations of these approaches over existing multi-vendor, multi-technology and multi-carrier networks.

 

Real-time service assurance techniques will also be reviewed, including scalable, cost-effective methods service providers are using to gain per-second visibility into per-application QoS and SLA performance from their existing management platforms.

 

Case studies from leading service providers will be used to complement theory with actual technology deployment examples.

 

Kirkwood, earlier in the week, was on the panel of presenters for the, “Effective IP Peering Strategies,” conference session.
