I'll be there as well. We are planning to have a 2 day (paid) routing (MikroTik) training course BEFORE WISPCon starts with hands on and we will start out with basic tcp/ip and how routing works and will finish up with advanced dynamic routing RIP, OSPF and BGP and cover things as pppoe, hotspot as well try to get time to do custom scenarios (maybe find a solution for YOUR network that attends the class how it can be improved).
