Inspirations
Inspired
by the desire to share technical challenges in setting up,
building and running IP networks on the African continent,
some of the pioneer Network Operators have come together and
established a network of key operators on the continent.
The Africa Network Operators Group (AfNOG) is a forum for the
exchange of technical information, and aims to promote discussion
of implementation issues that require community cooperation.
The goal is for coordination and cooperation among network
service providers to ensure the stability of service to end
users.
Activities
AfNOG
held its inaugural meeting on 6th May 2000 in CapeTown- South
Africa. It is the desire that subsequent meetings be held
at suitably selected cities in different countries on the
African Continent.
AfNOG meetings will be preceded by tutorials and technical workshops
on key network issues, standards and so forth. AfNOG, in support
of AfriNIC, will facilitate and promote optimal use of IP
space and names allocation to African Network Operators.
As AfNOG evolves, its anticipated that it might evolve into regional-tech
meetings, where technical staff from the regional networks
could meet to discuss operational issues of common concern
to that region.
AfNOG will primarily fund its operations from conference/workshop
registration fees and sponsorship from interested industry
and academia.
