Abstract

In this walkthrough, we will be going over the internet infrastructure, interconnection, and observability. In short, a snapshot into how internet connectivity works today for those that are unfamiliar. The walkthrough will shine light for those interested in a career path involved in internet infrastructure, internet peering and research, or are adjacent in their career to internet peering topics and are eager to learn. Ideally this walkthrough will help attendees feel more comfortable around the NANOG audience as newcomers.
