SwiNOG 40: Reliability of High-Speed Transceivers

- It will be about transceivers
- It will be fun
- It will include some crazy stuff
Their SwiNOG 40 presentation (video) met all three expectation. We learned how well transceivers cope with high temperatures and what happens when you try to melt them with a heat gun.
