University of Washington Computing & Communications NDC Update: 2002 edition T. E. G. 13 May 2002 All Hands Meeting
My Top Issues • Security • Bandwidth management • Wireless • Stability/reliability (perennial favorite) • Complexity (perennial favorite) • Resources/Budget (perennial non-favorite)
My Complexity Complex • Network examples • security • multicast • diffserv • ipv6 • accounting • redundancy • lagging tools • Cisco TAB results • Similar pressures in email, SysMgt areas, e.g. federated forests
My Reliability Complex • network • file system • disaster prep/recovery
Increasing Diagnosability • NE tools group efforts • Brad’s DeskPilot • Reference servers • Smarter apps, with telemetry
Tensions • complexity v. reliability • central v. decentral • autonomy v. control • monopoly v. market • bureaucratic v. entrepreneurial • execution v. innovation
Tech Trends • Microsoft futures • Linux futures • web services • mobility/wireless
Policy Trends • network policing • network accounting • dubious features • Resistance may be futile, but we will resist! • Yuck!!
Legal Trends • Anti-Terrorism v. civil rights v. privacy • DRM v. fair use v. privacy • Patents v. innovation • Double Yuck!!
Depressing? Yeah, but… • We help people • collaborate • cooperate • communicate • create • You could do a lot worse...
So, after all these years… • It’s still interesting & worthwhile work • In beautiful surroundings (Seattle, not 4545!) • But most of all: with great colleagues
