This talk begins by discussing how the evolution of the terrestrial Internet benefits not just deep-space systems but also a variety of system closer to home. Then, a short overview of the IETF (in general) and the DTN working group (in particular) is provided. This includes discussion on how to stay up to date with the working group and how to contribute to this important work. Finally, this talk discusses other activities being discussed in the IETF, such as time-variant routing.

The Internet Society is inviting applications for its Fellowship to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The Fellowship programme allows technologists, engineers and researchers from emerging and developing economies to attend an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting.
As you know, the IETF is the Internet’s premier standards-making body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture.
Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The current selection round is for the following:
* IETF 101, March 17-23, 2018, London, United Kingdom
Information of the IETF fellowship programme (including expectations, selection criteria, etc.) can be found at: bit.ly/2xtyGSE
The application links for the Fellowship are as follows:
Before applying for the Internet Society Fellowship to the IETF 101 Meeting in London, please read the self-assessment guide and ensure that you are able to satisfy the requirements of the checklist.
Applications will close on 3 December, 2017 and successful candidates will be notified on 22 December, 2017.
We encourage you to apply for this opportunity or pass this information about the programme to individuals in your network that have a keen interest in the open standards development activities of the IETF.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Niel Harper at harper@isoc.org.
On Tuesday April 5 2016 at 13:45 UTC the Internet Society will present a briefing Public Policy and Internet Technology Development at IETF 95 in Buenos Aires. A panel session will identify the important issues for Internet public policy makers generally and the Latin American region in particular. We will discuss the relevance of the IETF to their work. In particular we will address the following questions: What are the high priority issues for Internet policy makers today? Why are policy makers interested in the work of the IETF?Where does the work of the IETF and Public Policy intersect? What could/should be done to improve two-way dialogue between technologists and public policy officials? Panelists: Fred Baker, Cisco Fellow; Dilawar Grewal; Nelson Guillén Bello, Dominican Republic; Raul Lazcano Moyano, Head of Regulatory Division, SUBTEL, Chile Tim Polk, Assistant Director for Cybersecurity, U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy. Livestream is below:
The 93rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is underway in Prague, Czech Republic. On Tuesday June 21 2015 two of the sessions were webcast live on the Internet Society’s livestream channel – 1) the Technical Plenary – with the main topic of vehicular communications – but which includes an appearance by ITU Secretary General Houlin Zhao – and 2) the Internet Society Briefing Panel which has the title Tackling Connectivity Diversity: Protocol Challenges for Constrained Radio Networks and Devices. Details below.
The IETF HTTP Working Group has officially approved the HTTP/2 specification, bringing the biggest change to the web since the launch of HTTP/1.1 back in 1999.
The HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) underpins the web, but has been relatively stagnant since 1999 when the publication of RFC2616 formalised the current version 1.1 of the standard. While HTTP/1.1 has served the web well over the years, it has failed to keep up with the increasing power of modern computing. Traffic is restricted to a set number of connections which fail to make use of modern high-bandwidth connectivity and massively-concurrent processing capabilities. Alternative protocols, like Google’s SPDY, show that there is definite room for improvement with up to 64 per cent performance boosts available with purely software changes.
The need for an alternative to HTTP has been obviated with the Internet Engineering Task Force’s announcement that HTTP/2 has now been approved as a formal standard. Google itself pledged its support for the fledgling standard earlier this month when it announced the retirement of SPDY, its own protocol for speeding up web traffic. ‘Since most of the benefits [of SPDY] are present in HTTP/2, it’s time to say goodbye,’ developer Chris Bentzel wrote at the time.
HTTP/2’s improvements include a reduction in blocking connections, SPDY-like connection multiplexing to decrease the number of individual connections while increasing the number of page items that can be loaded at any one time, header compression, and ‘cache pushing,’ all of which combine to offer considerable improvements in performance both at server and client sides. While it uses the same application programming interface (API) calls as HTTP/1.1, it is a binary rather than text standard – which makes it unsuitable for selected edge-case scenarios such as manual connection debugging.
While companies like Google are already working on support for HTTP/2, the technology won’t see active use in the wild until it’s an official standard. The IETF’s Internet Engineering Steering Group’s approval of the protocol is the first step. ‘The IESG has formally approved the HTTP/2 and HPACK specifications, and they’re on their way to the RFC Editor, where they’ll soon be assigned RFC numbers, go through some editorial processes, and be published,‘ wrote IETF HTTP Working Group chair Mark Nottingham in a blog post on the matter. Nottingham also deflected criticism over Google’s involvement in the process, stating that ‘while a few have painted Google as forcing the [SPDY] protocol upon us, anyone who actually interacted with [Google’s] Mike [Belshe] and Roberto [Peon] in the group knows that they came with the best of intent, patiently explaining the reasoning behind their design, taking in criticism, and working with everyone to evolve the protocol.‘
The formal HTTP/2 RFC is expected to be published within weeks, rather than months, at which point browser and server developers will begin rolling out support for the standard.
Today, Thursday July 24 2014, in the IETF 90 version of the IETF Thursday Speaker Series, Erik Dahlman will address the topic of 5G. Discussions on 5G wireless access have rapidly intensified during the latest two years. 5G wireless access is seen as the long-term enabler of the overall networked society, not only providing enhanced mobile broadband access but being a tool to provide wireless connectivity for any kind of application. This speech will provide an overview of the state of 5G efforts around the world. We will discuss the specific requirements and challenges being identified for 5G wireless access and the different technology components and alternatives being considered. Also outlined will be a possible time schedule for 5G in ITU and 3GPP. The session will be webcast live via the Internet Society Livestream Channel.
On Wednesday December 7 2022 at 5pm-6pm EST (22:00-23:00 UTC) the Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group (IPNSIG) presents the 8th IPNSIG Academy presentation. ‘IETF Standardization Efforts‘. Edward J. Birrane will provide an overview of Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) in the Internet Engineering Task Force processes.
