What was particularly impressive this year was the large percentage of very high quality papers. The submissions made the job of the program committee extremely di?cult. The span of topics this year ranged from network-layer tra?c di?erentiation to application-layer consideration for multimedia tra?c. At the network layer, a number of papers attempt to develop better solutions for di?erentiated s- vices in the Internet. The issue of bandwidth sharing, particularly in wireless networks, is the focus of another set of papers. Next, by increasing the level of abstraction slightly, researchers are focusing on managing “services”. In part- ular, these services include one-to-many communication and video distribution architectures. Finally, from the user perspective there are two problems.
