<br>
The SAFNOG-5 Conference Programme consists of two parts, these

<br>

Technologies:<br>
<br>
- IPv4 / IPv6 Routing and Operations<br>
- IPv6 deployment and transition technologies<br>
- Internet backbone operations<br>
- ISP and Carrier services<br>
- IXPs and Peering<br>

- Content & Service Delivery (Multicast, Voice, Video,
"telepresence", Gaming) and Cloud Computing<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>CfP Submissions</strong><br>
<br>
Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be
provided with CfP submissions otherwise the Programme Committee
will be unable to review the submission. For avoidance of doubt
this means that submissions which do not include slides will be
rejected immediately. For work in progress, the most current
information available at time of submission is acceptable.<br>
<br>
All draft and complete slides must be submitted in PDF format
only.<br>
<br>
Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the SAFNOG-5 website.<br>
<br>
Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking
slots will be filled well before the final submission deadline.
The PC may, at their discretion, retain a limited number of
slots up to the final submission deadline for presentations that
are exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational
importance. Every year we turn away submissions, due to filling
up all available programme slots before the deadline. Presenters
should endeavour to get material into the PC sooner rather than
later.</p>
