UK Network Operators' Forum

The United Kingdom Network Operators’ Forum (UKNOF) acts as an open forum for operational, technical and engineering information exchange related to backbone networking technologies and practices.

Objectives of UKNOF

• To improve technical co-ordination between IP network operators within the United Kingdom
• To enhance the efficiency and stability of the UK's network infrastructure
• To allow engineers to share knowledge and best practice for network operations and security
• To create an OPEN environment with participation available to all players in the industry: large and small, established and innovative
• A minimum of three UKNOF events will be held annually

UKNOF is funded wholly by sponsorship and volunteer contributions, allowing free participation at meetings for anyone working in the UK Network Operator community. Annual operating resources are contributed and underwritten by a number of Subscriber Sponsor organisations, who appoint representatives to the UKNOF Funding Council.

Individual events are additionally supported by Vendor Sponsors, please contact the UKNOF chair if your company is interested in sponsoring one of our meetings, see here for more information.
