Network Technology aims to offer advanced training to people who
are in the process of developing and enhancing an
Internet-connected network with regional and international
connectivity. 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 2006 in seven 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. The workshop is divided
into four parallel tracks: Track E0 - Unix
System Administration (in English), focused on using a
Unix-like operating system as a platform for delivery of
Internet services. Track E1 - Scalable
Internet Services (in English), focused on the
design and operation of email, web, and other Internet
services, in ways that can scale to handle large
numbers of end users. Track E2 - 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. Track F2 -
Infrastructure Reseaux IP (en francais), similar to
track E2, but given in French. Further information and
