Moderator: Vishal Sharma, Metanoia Panelists: Duke Fisher, Verizon Business; Arman Maghbouleh, Cariden; Dave Wang, Wandl; Thomas Lundstrom, Qwest

Presentation Date: June 15, 2011, 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM Room: Grand Ballroom Abstract: The Panel will consist of Capacity Planning tool Users and Vendors. Vishal Sharma Biography: Vishal Sharma is a seasonsed international technologist, telecom industry expert, and entrepreneur with 20 years of experience spanning consulting, industry, academia, labs., and research. He currently serves as a Principal at Metanoia, Inc., a niche Bay-area consultancy, overseeing it's consulting activities to clients across the telecom ecosystem (spanning chip/semi-conductor companies, system vendors, operators/carriers, technology houses, and telecom software and tool companies) Over the last decade and a half, Vishal has been involved in IP network- and IP switch/router- architecture, design, analysis, and prototyping, and has also directed advanced data network research. His work has spanned the design and architecture of high-speed switch/routers, the development of advanced switching and QoS schemes for IP-based networks, devising connection and flow-control protocols for very high-speed networks, network planning and traffic engineering algorithms and best-practices, and the development and standardization of generalized multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) signaling and routing techniques as a key contributor to 10 issued RFCs. He has 8 issued patents in the areas of MPLS recovery, high-speed router architectures, switch scheduling, optical routing, and the IP control of multi-layer networks. He has developed and delivered advanced industry workshops, keynotes, and lectures on IP network design and QoS, IP traffic engineering practices and principles, modern IP Virtual Private Networks, and Metro/Carrier Ethernet network design best-practices. Together with his team, he has provided inputs to operator customers on 4 continents, in areas such as network design and planning, IP services evolution, metro/core network design, & wireless backhaul technologies, and prior customers have included ETSA Telecom, Australia, AT&T/SBC, MTNL, Reliance, France Telecom/Orange, and Covad, among others. He delivered a well-received keynote at SANOG9 in Colombo, SriLanka titled "Network Planning and Design: An Art or a Science?". He serves on the Scientific Committee of the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress, a premier gathering for IP/MPLS practitioners, and has Chaired it's signature debate for several years, and is on the Committees of FutureNet, iPOP, and a number of international conferences. He has been a Guest Editor of 4 Feature Topic Issues of the IEEE Communications Mag. (IEEE's most widely-read journal, going to over 50,000+ professionals) on: OAM in MPLS networks, inter-provider QoS, advances in IP VPNs, and next-generation Carrier Ethernet transport. He earned his B. Tech (EE'91) from IIT Kanpur, and MS (Signals & Systems'93), MS (Computer Engineering'93), and Ph.D. (ECE'97), from UC Santa Barbara.
