| 11:30 - 13:00 | Lunch |
| 13:00 - 14:00 | NSI invited talks The goal of Networking System Implementation (NSI) talks is to let students (or their advisors if students are not available) share their implementation/experimentation details of their work, e.g., their Sigcomm/NSDI papers. Many audiences lack the experience of end-to-end implementation of a tier-1 paper, even during the Sigcomm or NSDI presentation, the speakers typically do not give such details, so the NSI invited talks focus on the end-to-end implementation, which give audiences a good sense of implementation efforts made for Sigcomm/NSDI etc. |
