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.

The workshop is divided into Six parallel tracks as below:

design and operation of email, web, and other Internet services, in ways

                          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)
