The History of SANOG
The South Asian Network Operators Group (SANOG) was established to provide a regional forum to discuss operational issues and technologies of interest to network operators in the South Asian region. The main objective is to help the local network operators to exchange experiences and knowledge, thereby improving the quality of service in the region.
"SANOG's mission is to facilitate knowledge sharing among network operators in South Asia, encouraging cooperation and development in the digital infrastructure of our region."
Origins and Evolution
The first SANOG meeting was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, in January 2003. Since then, it has grown into a major regional event that takes place twice a year, rotating among the South Asian countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Over the years, SANOG has played a crucial role in bringing together engineers, researchers, and policy makers from across the region to discuss the latest trends in networking, including IPv6 transition, network security, peering, and internet governance.
