Operators and the IETF

Learn about the vital role of operators in IETF standardization efforts and the need for their increased engagement. Philip Smith and Jan Žorž, leading figures in Internet operations, emphasize the gap between operator involvement and academic/vendor participation. With over 20 years of combined experience, they advocate for solutions that ensure operator insights inform technology development. Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and participate in an online survey to help shape the future of Internet standards. Your input matters!

Presentation Transcript

  1. Operators and the IETF Standardizing the future, together Philip Smith, NSRC

  2. About Me – A Quick History • Name: Jan Žorž • Founder of Slovenian Go6 Institute • Worked in Internet operations for 20+ years • 15 years of IPv6 experience • Active and contributing member of RIPE and IETF communities • Primary co-author of RIPE-501/RIPE-554 IPv6 procurement BCP document • Co-author of RFC 6346 (A+P approach to IPv4 depletion) • Joined ISOC Deploy360 Program in December 2012

  3. The Dream • In a perfect world… • The IETF creates standard protocols with operator input and they work great • Deployment and operationalization concerns are consistently addressed • The level of operator engagement makes sense when compared to vendor and academic involvement • Operators always know when their input is needed • Operators always provide their input when it’s needed

  4. The Reality • Operators aren’t that much engaged enough… • The significant portion of operators (at least mid/small size) don’t join IETF mailing lists nor do they show up to IETF meetings • Academics and vendors rule many decision making processes within the IETF • The operators expected to deploy these technologies often don’t even know that they are being developed • Critical new technologies are being developed with little to no direct operator input • Things may be and usually are broken…

  5. The Plan • Facilitate increased operator input into the IETF… • First, we’re here, listening to you: talk to us! • Next, we’ll analyze everything we hear from operators around the world and show the results and message to the IETF • Then, we’ll come back with some proposed solutions for your review • Finally, towards the end of this year, we hope to start implementing the solutions that work for you, the operators!

  6. The Opportunity • This is your opportunity to tell us… (we’ll try to fix it!) • Find Chris, Dan, Megan or Jan and tell us why you do or don’t participate in the IETF, we’d all love to chat with you! • Participate in our online survey: • https://internetsociety2.wufoo.com/forms/operators-and-the-ietf/ -or- • http://bit.ly/1bIaWpy The survey will close on 31 June 2014
