The lab design groups the workshops participants into several ISPs creating a real life experience. This setup enables them to understand and troubleshoot some of the common problems faced in such scenarios. The workshop utilizes a progressive teaching methodology that builds from the basic concepts to technical implementation. As a result the training will enable participants to; 1. Transition their network from statically routed network to dynamic fast converging network; 2. Setup, troubleshoot and maintain multiple external network interconnections including to the IXP 3. Provide technical support to the IXP operations At the end of the workshop the facilitators will create a mailing list for all participants and the instructors to facilitate continued discussions and support as they implement what they have learned during the course of the workshop. | + | The workshop utilizes a progressive teaching methodology that builds from the basic concepts to technical implementation.
