The IEEE LCN conference is the premier conference on the leading edge of practical computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. During 33 years of this conference, major developments from high-speed local networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this conference. We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results or practical solutions in leading edge topics. Paper topics include, but are not limited to: Ad hoc and sensor networks Adaptive applications Embedded networks Authentication, authorization, accounting High-speed access networks Congestion and flow control Home and SOHO networks Cross-layer optimization IPv6 networks Location-dependent services Local area networks Mobility management Optical networks Multimedia and real-time communication Overlay networks Network management Peer-to-peer networks Network reliability and security Personal and wearable networks Network traffic characterization Storage area networks Performance evaluation/engineering Ubiquitous networking Performance measurement and tuning Wireless networks Quality-of-Service provisioning Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, 10 pt font in IEEE Computer Society format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the conference. Short papers are an opportunity to present preliminary or interim results and are limited to 2 camera-ready pages in length. Short papers will be presented in a poster format and are published in the proceedings. All papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. High quality paper submissions will be nominated for a special issue publication of a journal/magazine. PAPER SUBMISSION: Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF. All submission instructions will be posted on the conference website. Please direct your questions to the program co-chairs, Ehab Elmallah and Mohamed Younis . IMPORTANT DATES: Paper registration deadline: April 7, 2008 Paper submission deadline: April 14, 2008 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2008 Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2008 Author registration by: July 28, 2008 WORKSHOPS: A number of workshops will be co-located with the conference. Workshop papers will be published in the LCN proceedings. Information on workshops, submission deadlines and all other details will be posted on the conference web site.

A new stable version of tcpillust: a graphical TCP connection analysis tool is available at: http://www.jp.nishida.org/tcpillust/tcpillust-2.01.tar.gz Tcpillust takes tcpdump file(s) specified at the command line and draws pictures like figures in the ``TCP/IP Illustrated'' series. If you're interested, please check the following web site: http://www.jp.nishida.org/tcpillust/index.html You can see sample screen images of tcpillust or screen guide. If you have any problem, please let me know. Also, feedbacks, comments, suggestions and bug-reports are very welcome.

I > would appreciate if anyone can guide me to the proper papers and > internet links, If you're trying to measure packet performance, you might try a packet generation tool, like netperf or iperf: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~jblom/gigaport/tools/test_tools.html If you are trying to measure the performance of transferring a file, FTP is a reasonable choice. Testing from a Windows system is useful when that's the application you're trying to measure, but you'll probably get better results from FTP - even to Windows hosts. However, I think you're asking more about the pitfalls in trying to use application performance to measure network performance, which basically translates into "how do I make my apps use the network well" - for that purpose, Matt Mathis' work at PSC would be useful to consult: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/tcptune/ Joe -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, I am asking about concrete data in supporting the claimed pitfalls in trying to use application performance to measure network performance. For example, how much variability introduced into FTP performance due to disk I/O access, and therefore it is not suitable to use FTP to measure network performance (link capacity). I have seen a lot of statements like that for ttcp or iperf related website but I haven't seen concrete data. thanks, Amy Joe Touch wrote: Amy, Amy Wang wrote: > I am trying to collect a list of issues using FTP or windows file > transfer to measure network performance in local area network setting.
