The meeting agenda spanned three days, from November 24 to 26.
The first day featured a variety of sessions.
In the morning, attendees could participate in three parallel tutorial sessions:
- A session focused on AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)
- A session on the practical implementation of IPv6
- A session dedicated to optical networking technology
In the afternoon, two types of meetings were scheduled:
In one room, APMs had the opportunity to meet with NOC engineers first and then with CERT specialists, gaining insight into the critical work behind these essential services and engaging directly with experts through a Q&A session.
Meanwhile, in two other rooms, discussions were held to establish new working groups.
These groups aimed to develop an information network on topics of shared interest among GARR network APMs. The initial focus areas selected for these pilot working groups were Security, IPv6, MAN-LAN, and Middleware.
The following two days, November 25 and 26, were structured into four thematic sessions, lasting either 3 or 1.5 hours:
- GARR-G: From the Backbone to the End User (3 hours)
- Traditional and Emerging Network Services (3 hours)
- Will We Ever Have a Secure Network? New Resources and New Threats (1.5 hours)
- The Future of Networking: European Projects and Emerging Technologies (1.5 hours)
On the afternoon of Wednesday, November 26, after summarizing the key discussions from the previous days, a roundtable session was held on the future of the GARR network.
