<H2>The Conference on Network Protocols</H2>
ICNP deals with the entire development cycle of communication
network protocols, from design and specification, to verification,
testing, performance analysis, implementation, and performance
tuning. Protocol functions of interest include (but are not limited
to) the following: network access, switching, routing, flow and
congestion control, multimedia transport, network security and
management, interoperability, and internetworking.
<p>
ICNP 97 will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, home of the 1996
Summer Olympic Games and Star of the South. October is a perfect
time for visiting the city, enjoying its many cultural activities
and seeing the local historical sites. Atlanta's Hartsfield
Airport offers easy access from cities in North America and around
the world. The conference will be held in the Buckhead district, a
focal point for shopping, culture and nightlife; Buckhead is easily
accessible via rapid transit from the airport and the rest of the
city.
