A typical meeting includes senior engineering staff from tier 1 and tier 2 ISP(s). Researchers from the academic and private sectors present summaries of their work for operator feedback, and vendors present business object frameworks (BOFs). NANOG meetings are in-depth technological discussions, not opportunities for marketing.
