Dear All,

I would like to inform you about the 1st LOBSTER Workshop which will be
held during the TERENA Networking Conference in Poznan, Poland on 7 June
2005 from 11:00-15:30.

The programme of this workshop is finalised and will feature many
interesting presentations, both technical and user-oriented.
If you plan to be at the TNC, don't forget to attend the LOBSTER workshop!

1st Workshop on Large-Scale Monitoring of Broadband Internet
Infrastructures (LOBSTER)

7 June 2005, 11:00 - 15:30, Poznan, Poland
in conjunction with the TERENA Networking Conference 2005 (TNC2005)

This workshop is organized by the consortium of the LOBSTER, a European
IST Project for the Large-Scale Monitoring of Broadband Internet
Infrastructures. The target of the workshop is to present recent results
and ongoing efforts from the research community in the area of passive
network traffic monitoring with full packet inspection. The workshop will
address both hardware and software challenges related to individual
passive traffic sensors as well as large-scale passive monitoring
infrastructures, including monitoring applications. The workshop will show
the added value of passive network monitoring to network administrators
and practitioners, while it will also be of interest to researchers since
it will present the research issues still open in this area.

The Programme

Session 1: Network Monitoring for the NREN community, the LOBSTER
contribution

The LOBSTER project aims at realizing a pilot infrastructure for passive
network monitoring primarily with and for the NREN community. In this
session an overview of the LOBSTER project is presented and the benefits
it wants to achieve for the NREN user community. In particular several use
cases of the LOBSTER infrastructure will be presented. LOBSTER invites
people from NRENs to join this session and actively discuss these use
cases, so that the LOBSTER project could use the input to tune the design
of LOBSTER. Finally in this session the monitoring efforts in the GN2
project Joint Research Activities are presented and the relation with
LOBSTER is discussed.

    * Large-Scale Infrastructure for Passive Monitoring - by Evangelos
Markatos, FORTH
    * LOBSTER use cases for NREN's - by Rutger Coolen, TNO Telecom
    * GN2 JRA1 monitoring approach and relation with LOBSTER - by Nicolas
Simar, DANTE

Session 2: Technological advances in Network Monitoring

This session addresses the research and development advances in passive
network monitoring. It is organised by the LOBSTER project. The LOBSTER
technical infrastructure consists of monitoring hardware cards, a
distributed application programming interface, an anonymization language
and demonstration applications. The focus in this session is to present
some of the highlights in the state-of-the-art monitoring technology. You
are invited to give your view and input on the developments in this area.
