LKNOG10 host the following three workshop tracks.
The emergence of Software Defined Networking (SDN) is having a disruptive influence on the world of data networking and is leading to a fundamental re-think of how networks are architected.
This Workshop will provide an in-depth understanding of Segment Routing (SR), one of the key elements/technologies in the SDN framework, along with hands-on labs.
Anyone currently operating an IP and/or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network who is interested in Segment Routing with a view to implement it in the near future.
To ensure maximum benefit from the training, we recommend that participants come with a solid understanding of routing concepts and experience with dynamic routing protocols, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
In addition, a good understanding of MPLS and MPLS services is also essential, as it provides the foundation for comprehending how services are delivered and managed in SR-enabled networks.

This workshop provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the management, operation, and security of Internet identifiers such as IP addresses, Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), and the Domain Name System (DNS). It aims to strengthen participants' technical knowledge and practical skills in managing Internet identifier resources securely, efficiently, and in accordance with globally recognized best practices.
The workshop covers fundamental concepts of Internet Identifier management, allocation, registration, and operational practices, along with key security technologies and mechanisms such as DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI).
Participants will explore how these technologies contribute to the security, stability, and resilience of Internet infrastructure by protecting DNS information, securing IP communications, and strengthening routing security.
The workshop consists of presentations, interactive discussions, hands-on lab sessions and emphasizes real-world operational scenarios, common security challenges, and practical approaches to improving Internet infrastructure resilience.
The course is designed for network engineers, DNS administrators, Internet service provider (ISP) operators, cybersecurity professionals, network operations personnel, technical staff from government and regulatory organizations, and other professionals involved in the management, operation, and security of Internet infrastructure.

As businesses rely more on cloud-based applications, organizations with remote offices and distributed workforces must adapt their network infrastructure. Traditional WANs, often using costly MPLS or leased lines, route all traffic through centralized data centres, creating latency, performance bottlenecks, and operational complexity. Managing multiple point products adds to the challenge, increasing visibility gaps and troubleshooting difficulties.
This workshop explores how SD-WAN offers a dynamic, cost-effective alternative to static WAN architecture. Participants will learn how Secure SD-WAN enhances performance, reduces costs, and integrates security directly into the network. Through centralized management and advanced traffic optimization, organizations can improve cloud application access, streamline operations, and maintain robust security across their distributed environments.
Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:
As networks continue to evolve to support cloud services, AI workloads, ultra-high-bandwidth applications, and increasingly distributed users and devices, both service providers and enterprises need to prepare for the next generation of network technologies.
This workshop will provide participants with a broader technical understanding of emerging carrier and enterprise networking technologies, with 5G and Private 5G as key areas. The session will also cover developments in fixed networks through F5G, next-generation transport and backhaul technologies such as SRv6 and NG-OTN, the evolution of enterprise networking through next-generation Wi-Fi and LAN technologies, and networking requirements in the AI era.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
Next-Gen firewalling in the AI era.
IXP Operations tutorial and hands-on
