ComNet 2001 audio coverage

Can't make it to this year's ComNet network and service provider confab? We've got you covered with these Webcasts of Network World's Security Shootout and select conference sessions. Pick a session, sit back and enjoy the show.

Security Showdown
Listen to five leading security software vendors take part in a presidential-style debate on the future of network security. Hosted by Network World Editorial Director John Gallant, the panel of representatives from Check Point, Tivoli, Computer Associates, Network Associates and Symnatec will be pummeled with questions from a panel of experts and each other.

The New World of Ethernet
In this session, you'll hear why Ethernet is not just for LANs anymore. Direct 10/100M bit/sec connections to metropolitan-area networks and even wide-area networks are giving older technologies like frame relay, ATM and private lines a run for their money.

The Remote Access Jungle
What's the truth about shared bandwidth? Cable modem deployments are said to force users in a neighborhood to compete with one another. Is that DSL's advantage? Or do new types of DSL service-provider architectures cause the same problem? What about fixed wireless as an option? How are service providers managing their bandwidth and their inventory of local loops to give you reliable answers on availability and installation?

Frame Relay for the 21st Century
Frame relay is freshening up its image as pure IP virtual private networks look to steal its thunder. Hear about frame relay interworking with IPSec networks; how large carriers are using Multiprotocol Label Switching to create any-to-any connectivity in a frame relay net without the hassle and expense of fully meshed virtual circuits; and new access options for frame relay WANs, including DSL.

The Collocation Conundrum
Space is tight as ISPs and hosting vendors rush to build new spaces for service providers and high-end enterprises to place their gear. Now a new generation of "neutral" collocation vendors is building a new kind of Internet data center with no restriction on whose backbone you can use. In this session, find out what services you can and can't get from a collocation provider and might have to obtain from some other contractor.
