NANOG 23            
October 21-23, 2001

The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will
hold its 23rd meeting in Oakland, CA, between October
21-23, 2001. The meeting will be hosted by Cisco Systems.
NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and
dissemination of technical information related to
large-scale (i.e., national/international) Internet
backbone networking technologies and operational practices.

NANOG meetings, held three times each year, include two
days of short presentations, plus afternoon/evening
tutorial sessions.  Meetings are informal, with an emphasis
on relevance to current backbone engineering practices. The
conference draws over 600 participants, mainly consisting
of engineering staff from large national service providers,
and members of the research and education community.

The meeting will be held at the Oakland Marriott City
Center. For more information about NANOG meetings,
schedules, and logistics, see:
