Hi All
Firstly, we hope you all enjoyed UKNOF35 and found the content
interesting and stimulating. If you were at the meeting, or watched via
the webcast, we strongly request that you tell us your thoughts via our
UKNOF35 survey via: http://uknof.uk/survey35
All survey feedback is read and we should finally be putting some
responses around those within a lightning talk at UKNOF36.
We now look to UKNOF36 - with the Christmas holiday season fast
approaching, the CFP for UKNOF36 is open and to allow for the holiday
period closes at the end of the November via Indico -

Please feel free to submit an abstract for any content you feel with
be appropriate for a UKNOF audience.
One of the topics we feel make make a good presentation is we believe
the industry is seeing a slight trend towards using switches with less
buffers, specifically to counter-act the issues we all are aware of with
Bufferbloat.
We'd love to hear from anyone who may have a potential presentation on
the topic of switches with less dense buffers and how solving the
Bufferbloat issues can lead to other problems, alongside how these
problems can then be alleviated - specifically, things like TCP-incast
whereas DCTCP may not be the answer.

If you have a potential presentation on this topic, or any other,
please submit an abstract via the CFP or get in touch with any PC member
Thanks
