The target audience includes senior and mid-level technical staff of

commercial Internet Service providers (ISPs), academic networks,
government networks, or NGO networks.

This workshop builds on the experience of previous AfNOG workshops held
annually from 2000 to 2012 in thirteen different African countries, and

also the Internet Society's INET workshops, held annually from 1993 to
2000 at eight locations around the world. The workshop's instructors are an

international team with many years of experience operating large
networks and teaching about network operations.

                          that can scale to handle large numbers of end
users.

·            SI-E -  Scalable Network Infrastructure (in English),
focused on the design and operation of networks using routers and switches,

                          in ways that can scale to handle large numbers
of interconnected sites.

·            NM -  Network Monitoring & Management (English)
