APNIC participated at the second Nepal Network Operators Group (npNOG 2) meeting in Kathmandu from 15 to 18 June 2017.
Established in 2016, npNOG provides network operators who work at ISPs, content providers, telcos, banks, universities, and other areas of the Internet industry in Nepal the opportunity to learn about, and share knowledge on, new Internet technologies.
The conference day included presentations on the Nepal broadband network, SDNs, IPv6, IoT, and cybersecurity. There were three workshops held before the conference, on network management/monitoring, optical fibre network design, and IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
APNIC also held a Member gathering on Sunday, 18 June, meeting 17 APNIC Members to discuss their IP address and membership queries.
