See you soon!

The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 24th
meeting February 10-12, 2002, in Miami, Florida. The meeting will be
hosted by Terremark Worldwide.  Registration begins January 2.
 
NANOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and dissemination
of technical information related to large-scale (i.e.,
national/international) Internet backbone networking technologies and
operational practices.  Meetings are held three times each year, and
include two days of short presentations, plus afternoon/evening tutorial
sessions. The meetings are informal, with an emphasis on relevance to
current backbone engineering practices. NANOG conferences draw over 600
participants, mainly consisting of engineering staff from national service
providers, and members of the research and education community.  <p>

The meeting will be held at the Hotel Inter-Continental Miami. For more
