Operators and the IETF
Ignas Bagdonas, Brian Trammel, Jari Arkko, Jeff Tantsura, Warren Kumari
As an organisation, the IETF works best on specific technical problems. It does not necessarily have enough operational input on what those problems are and whether the proposed solutions would address the operator’s requirements. Two-way communication is needed to gather requirements from the field, develop solutions and spread awareness on the new architectural directions and technical solutions.
This BoF is a panel discussion that will present the work done to address operator engagement concerns, briefly discuss major new development areas in the IETF, and start an ongoing communication channel between the IETF and the RIPE community. The panel will be led by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and Internet Architecture Board (IAB) members.
Background
In 2014, the RIPE community provided feedback to the IETF on how it could improve the relationship with operators, including the adherence to IETF requirements and input into Internet technology evolution.
Four years later, the IETF leadership would like to report to the community on what was done following that report, what is still to come, what the IETF is working on now and how further improvements can be made.
