Network lab

A network playground open to anyone who wants to explore configurations, test scenarios, and verify interoperability between different vendors.

The goal is to provide an environment where people can gain hands-on experience with a real network, discuss, and collaboratively explore the technical aspects.
Additionally, we will organize two dedicated sessions (times to be determined) during which we will provide a guided demonstration of the lab, showcasing the architecture, key configurations, and the most interesting use cases.

All updates, technical information, and materials related to the playground will be available on the ITNOG10 lab GitHub page.

Meet the expert

A dedicated technical space for in-depth discussions with the vendors sponsoring ITNOG, designed for those who want to move beyond the booth and into the hardware.

The goal is to provide a one-to-one environment where you can discuss specific network designs, troubleshoot complex scenarios, and get hands-on with the latest equipment. This is your opportunity to engage in high-level technical exchanges and verify how various solutions can address your real-world operational needs.

Book a dedicated time slot to ensure a focused session with the right specialist. Whether you have a specific architectural question or simply want to test a new CLI, these sessions are tailored to provide direct, expert-led insights.
