    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.
