Sometimes, we deal with our own projects so regularly that they no longer seem cool or interesting to us - but they are to other people! Sometimes you want to present, but don’t know what other people want to learn about. During every NANOG Conference we ask everyone to answer the surveys and tell us what they want to hear about at a future conference. Some of the most recent answers are below.
