btNOG11 is planning to offer the following three parallel workshops. Each workshop will run for five days and participants need to attend all five days of their chosen workshop.
The topic areas and details of each below are provided as a guideline only. Details will be updated in the coming weeks once the topics, instructors, and content are finalised.
i. Layer 1-3 Networking Fundamentals
This training course covers Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3 concepts of TCP/IP stack. The course will introduce all relevant technologies in Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Trainer: Karma Jamyang (GovTech), Phurpa Rinchen (Bhutan Telecom) & Jiwan Gurung (CST, RUB)
ii. Campus Network Design & Operations
This is a technical workshop, made up of lecture and hands-on lab work to teach the skills needed to design, build, operate and manage any organisational network infrastructure according to current best practices.
Participants in this course will learn about:
- Core organisational infrastructure design best practices
- Network design principles
- Physical infrastructure (cabling and cabling installation)
- Fibre optics
- Switching (spanning tree, VLANs, L2 best practices)
- Static Routing
- IPv4, IPv6 and deploying dual stack infrastructure
These skills will in turn drive an increase in organisational network performance, security and reliability. In turn this will improve the day to day Internet experience of end users.
Trainer: Philip Smith, Brian Candler & Tashi Phuntsho from NSRC

iii. Security (NetSec/InfoSec)
Security is a broad topic that affects many aspects relating to end-users, applications, and infrastructure. The objective of this workshop is to examine key concepts, protocols, policies, and practices to protect data and assets from potential attacks or abuse. This workshop will cover network infrastructure security with a focus on establishing robust, stable networks with secure routing. This workshop also focuses on security operations and frameworks, while also examining common security incidents/breaches and discuss countermeasures and mitigation tools.
On completion, you will be able to discover security vulnerabilities across a network and be able to architect and configure your network for maximum security while also being able to monitor for any malicious activities in your network.
Target Audience
Engineers, Network Managers and Operators, and Security policy makers who are interested in network security and want to gain an understanding of Cyber security.
Tutorial topics
- Network Security Fundamentals
- Packet Analysis
- Device & Infrastructure Security
- Security Operations & Monitoring
Trainer: Shamim Reza (APNIC), Jamie Gillespie (APNIC), Pratima Pradhan (btCIRT) & Tshering Dorji (btCIRT)
