Dave Meyer, director of the UO's Advanced Network Technology Center (ANTC) and senior software engineer at Cisco Systems, Inc., was recently appointed chairman of the Network Research Liaison Council (NRLC).
The NLRC is one of three advisory committees assisting the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) in advanced network development within the university community. Drawn from industry, academia, and government, UCAID's advisory committee members have all made significant contributions to Internet development. (Two of UCAID's well-known projects are Internet2, a technical collaboration of over 110 U.S. research universities (including the UO); and Abilene, the ultra high-performance network developed in partnership with Qwest Communications, Nortel, and Cisco Systems.)
A specialist in interdomain IP routing and IP multicasting, Meyer has been an NLRC council member since its inception in March 1998. During his long association with the University of Oregon, he has helped design high-speed, high-bandwidth networks for such notable projects as NERO (Network for Engineering and Research in Oregon) and the NSRC (Network Startup Resource Center).
Meyer's considerable expertise in network architecture and his unique experience in both academic and industrial settings make him an ideal liaison between the worlds of business and academia.
