network operations.

The
workshop is divided into Six parallel tracks as below:

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
