Biography of instructor:

Philip Smith - Philip has been with Cisco Systems since 1998. He is part of the Internet Architectures Group in Corporate Consulting Engineering. His role includes working with many ISPs in the Asia Pacific region, specifically in network design, configuration, scaling and training.

Prior to joining Cisco, he spent five years at PIPEX (now part of UUNET's global ISP business), the UK's first commercial Internet Service Provider. He was one of the first engineers working in the commercial Internet in the UK, and played a key role in building the modern Internet in Europe.

Gaurab Raj Upadhaya - Gaurab's is currently employed as Internet Economics Analyst / Staff Engineer, at Packet Clearing House (www.pch.net), a research non-profit based in Berkeley, California.

Gaurab's primary work is in Internet backbone operations, analysing peering relationships between operators and roles of Internet Exchange Points in different parts of Asia. Much of the work involves training ISPs in developing countries about best practices on network operations. He also runs the PCH INOC-DBA (www.pch.net/inoc-dba) hotline phone system for service providers. He initiated the Nepal Internet Exchange (npIX) and currently serves as its voluntary CEO. In 2003, Gaurab started the South Asian Network Operators Group (SANOG), a non-profit educational event and forum for ISPs in the South Asian Region (www.sanog.org). SANOG has a track dedicated to in- depth hands on workshops on ISP operations using open source, along side other workshops on BIND/DNS and Security. He currently chairs SANOG, and is the Chair of Asia Pacific Internet Association (www.apia.org), and Management Committee member for APRICOT, the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (www.apricot.net). In the past he has served as a National UN Volunteer, working for the UNDP/Cisco/USAID Least Developing Countries Initiative (www.cisco.com/edu/ldci) as Unites volunteer (www.unites.org). He has been using Linux and open source software since 1996. He previously worked as system and network administrator for United Mission to Nepal (www.umn.org.np). He likes travelling, photography and reading books when he is not on the network.
