The workshop materials are based on the content of the extremely successful Cisco ISP/IXP Workshop programme which ran from 1997 until 2011. While the programme is no longer active within Cisco, many industry friends and volunteers still use and develop the materials for use in workshops taking place in the Network Operations Group fora and other gatherings around the world.
