The following is a workshop I've had the pleasure of
attending many times in the past, and the opportunity to
host this year. It's a true working conference on high-speed
networks - lots of engaging dicussions and 'animated sessions',
in addition to presentations on cutting edge work.
If any of you plan on being at Sigcomm this year, PfHSN is
in the Boston area, and not a bad reason to extend your visit there...
