This wiki page is aimed to list all the cmNOG's webinars organized by volunteers of the cmNOG. One of the tasks of the organising's check-list is to choose a Theme and a presenter for each webinar…

An active part of the cmNOG's Community has decided to launch a webinar model of meetups, in order to create conditions of awareness in the community for more engagement/participation…

Those webinars shall be organized, and Evaluated¹⁾, in a regular and free basis. So two times per month, during an hour or a ninety minutes duration, a webinar will be organized by some volunteers, in the benefit of the cmNOG's Community and abroad.

Each webinar shall be recorded and all their respective Q/A sessions stored appropriately.

The next free active cmNOG's Webinar (#cmNOGwebinar4) will take place on saturday 04, april 2020, 19:00-20:00 (UTC +1).

…Metrology, the science of measurements, is a powerful vector for performance evaluation, particularly for network infrastructures constituting the Internet through peering or transit interconnections. Following the presentation²⁾ of webinar N° 3, we learnt that Internet resources (IPv4/IPv6, ASN 16/32 bits) are not properly used in the context of Cameroon. On the other hand, these resources have remained the same, without having been exhausted; which could augur stagnation in the local IP market. However, the telephone operators break records in terms of number of subscribers every year. Is there negligence in terms of good practices (BCOP - Best Current Operational Practice)? …are open standards (properly) implemented in our network infrastructures? Is there an operating deficit or a lack of knowledge of the power and role of (standardized) metrics for evaluating the performance of IP networks? One thing, at least, is certain: there are only thirteen RIPE Atlas probes³⁾, located in Cameroon, of which we have the trace and among them, just eleven have been connected during the last month. The measurements carried out from the PoPs of the Internet Exchange Point (CAMIX) are publicly accessible, but the traffic is so low that the same questions should be asked. Isolated autonomous systems do carry out measurements, but as long as they are not public, the dubious performances that we observe will lead us to believe that there are either measurement deficits (poorly calibrated or unexploited metrics), or deficits in data exploiting to increase network infrastructure performances, ie…could the numerous existing use cases around the world be exploited locally?•••

In order to address those concerns and to envisage a better metrological future for network infrastructures in Cameroon, the webinar N°4 (#cmNOGwebinar4) is proposed to the cmNOG's Community, in particular, and will focus on the theme: “RIPE Atlas in the Metrological Context of Cameroon”.
