2016.The ways that content and Internet service providers interconnect on
the Internet is playing an increasingly important role in the nature of the
Internet. Interconnection affects many aspects of the Internet experience,
including user quality of experience for streaming video, the costs that
consumers bear for Internet access, and the security and privacy of consumer
data.

* The rise of streaming video content has introduced significant congestion
along Internet paths, raising questions about the causes of this congestion,
as well as ways to mitigate it.
* The Open Internet Order raises new issues about reasonable network
management practices for managing traffic demand and congestion.
* ³Zero-rating² and sponsored content present important questions and
concerns about citizens¹ access to connectivity and content.
* The rapid proliferation of Internet exchange points in various parts of
the world is changing the characteristics of trans-national Internet
traffic; at the same time, the Internet remains vulnerable to traffic
redirection attacks, sometimes to regions where users do not want the
traffic to go. 
This CITP conference will present a mix of technical and policy perspectives
on interconnection. We will explore the ongoing (and forthcoming) technical
developments in Internet interconnection and explore how these and other
developments relate to the increasingly colorful and nuanced regulatory and
policy questions in this space.
