Hi all- The State of the Internet section of the upcoming NANOG is coming along well. I still need to get the end-user perspective of the Internet into the panel. So, for the NANOG research community, I need to find a couple of folks to answer the following 3 questions on 3-4 slides: 1) As an active Internet end-user (or one who measures end-user performance), what are the top three most pressing problems you see in the Internet? 2) Topologically, how are you connected? 3) What *quantitative* data do you have to share to show these problems? I also need 1 more medium-large size ISP to share with us: 1) What are the top three most pressing problems you face as an ISP? 2) What is the topology of your backbone. 3) What quantitative data can you share with us that show these problems? These additional volunteers (1 ISP+2 end-users) should balance out the mix. With the ISP data, Exchange Point Operators' data, and the data from the registration forms, we should be able to highlight the various communities top issues. If you can volunteer for this, please send me e-mail with your answers to the questions above and "State of the Internet Volunteer" in the subject line. Thanks!
