Giganews will be hosting the 48th meeting of the North American Network Operators’ Group later this month. The meeting will be held on February 21-24 at the Hilton in Austin, Texas. This will mark the 48th meeting for NANOG and will be focused on Internet advancements and trends.
You may not be familiar with NANOG but their contributions are important to us all. Rather than fumble through an explanation of the groups mission we’ll give you the scoop directly from the NANOG site:
NANOG is an educational and operational forum for the coordination and dissemination of technical information related to backbone/enterprise networking technologies and operational practices.
NANOG meetings are held three times each year, and include presentations, tutorials, and BOFs. The meetings are informal, and membership is open. Conference participants typically include senior engineering staff from tier 1 and tier 2 ISPs. Participating researchers present short summaries of their work for operator feedback.
The meeting will include senior engineers, researchers and operators from companies like Giganews, Data Foundry, Highwinds Network Group, Google, Akamai, Comcast, TW Telecom and many more.
In a related Giganews post Phillip Molter, CTO for Giganews explains:
“Giganews’ involvement in NANOG48 is a direct extension of our absolute commitment to providing the highest level of connectivity, throughput and security for our customers. We’ve chosen to host this meeting, because, as a major network traffic source for tens of millions of people, we want to foster the continued growth of the Internet as an open—unlimited platform.”
Several Usenet providers are expected to be in attendance for NANOG48. The list includes Giganews, Supernews, Power Usenet, Easynews, Newshosting and UseNetServer. For more information or to sign up for NANOG48 visit http://www.nanog.org.
