Internet Pioneer and Chairman and Chief Scientist at Nominum to Present at Interop

Dec 12 2005

Redwood City, CA, December 12, 2005 – Nominum, the leading provider of network naming and addressing solutions, today announced that Paul Mockapetris, Nominum Chairman and Chief Scientist, will be discussing ENUM and the next wave of networking at Interop, taking place in New York City on December 12-16th.

In his session entitled, “ENUM Got Your Number’” on Tuesday, December 13 from 3:30pm-4:30pm, Paul Mockapetris explains the basics of ENUM, the system for porting public-network numbering over to the world of VOIP. He will explain how ENUM works, why it is important, who will be implementing it and when we’re likely to see it in deployment here in North America.

Paul Mockapetris will moderate a second session entitled, “The Next Real Wave in Networking: Separating Reality From the Hype,” featuring a panel of industry experts giving their views on the top technologies that people should care about that will become classics, and those that are just hype. This session takes place on Tuesday, December 13, 11:30am-12:30pm.

As the inventor of the Domain Name System (DNS), and Chief Scientist at Nominum, Paul Mockapetris is well versed in taking IP addressing and DNS to the next stage. DNS, the “virtual electricity” for the Internet, is now being extended to route Voice over IP phone calls, as well as short and multimedia messaging services, but is getting further complicated by the increase in spam, worms and viruses clogging up the network. The current open source BIND servers can become so overloaded that they crash, resulting in a “lights out” situation. Nominum offers industry-leading solutions to truly enable an always-on network, through providing industry-leading network naming and addressing solutions, enabling scalable and resilient DNS services that are central to next generation networks.

Interop(R) New York will take place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, December 12-16, 2005. For more information about the event, visit www.interop.com.
