I am currently responsible for AARNet's operations in South Australia.
Mark Prior did most of the design and I did most of the rollout of AARNet3 (2004 to April 2007). I did the design and rollout of full-stack, network-wide QoS on that network.
I was responsible for the network design and rollout of AARNet2 (1995 until mid-2004). This network included one of the first deployments of MPLS traffic engineering, one of the first nation-scale deloyments of Voice over IP, and one of the first deployments of IPv6.
