Interconnection WG: Charter
Address the multidisciplinary problems of connectivity in a multicarrier Internet:
-- Economic/business models-- Empirical research-- Architecture
to promote healthy growth across the value chain, sound policy, and a better understanding of key challengesposed by growth of broadband traffic and transition to NextGen Internet

Quality of Service
Quality of Service for Inter-provider VPNs Bruce Davie (Cisco)
Quality of Service for general Internet Bob Briscoe (BT) and Kwok Chan (Nortel)

Network Interconnection: Theory and Models
Understanding incentives to interconnect in multicarrier Internet
Economic theory: 2-sided markets and network platform competition
Industry structure: Understanding overlay networks-- Content delivery -- Security overlays-- Routing overlays
Evolution of interconnection: from peering & transit to ??
