>This year's NREN Workshop will be devoted to examining the true status
>and realistic expectations for end-to-end gigabit-per-second (Gbps)
>networking: connectivity, platforms, applications, measurement, and the
>integration aspects (eg, middleware, tools, management) needed to make
>it all work together end-to-end.  As in the past workshops hosted
>by NREN, participation in the workshop divided among government and
>industry NGI technologists, university researchers, agency NGI
>representatives, and policymakers and advisors including
>representatives of the President's Information Technology Advisory
>Committee (PITAC).

>Portions of the workshop will be multicast live and also
>webcast using RealMedia. To tune into the Internet multicasts,
>look for the announcement in your session directory program
>('sdr').  If the announcement is not present there, it still may
>be possible to receive the session by manually configuring the client
>programs ('vic', and 'rat' or 'vat') with session addresses.  The
>session addresses, webcast details, and information on non-live access
>to the seminar will be posted on:

>During the seminar, any technical difficulties about the multicast can
>be addressed to gnsupport at nren.nasa.gov.
