Following previous successful Internet Society panels, we are organizing a briefing panel on on Tuesday, 15 November, from 11:45am to 12:45pm, at IETF 82 in Taipei:

	 Beyond PUT, POST and GET:  application data routing carves its own path

Applications and services are how most people see the Internet -- and their "quality of experience" is directly related to their smooth functioning:  flow of application data.  The Internet's underlying infrastructure for routing packets has proven eminently successful for supporting a broad range of such applications and services by connecting any and all endpoints, forwarding packets of data based on best effort, and overall optimized for general characteristics of flows.  Applications and services are evolving well beyond simple client-server models, and feature their own metrics for efficiency and effectiveness of moving data.  General Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) evolved as a mechanism for getting application data closer to its use.   Increasingly, access providers are looking to provide their own CDNs, and new work is looking at applications from the information routing perspective -- named data, information centric, or name oriented networking, to name a few.  The panel will survey these approaches and address a number of basic questions.

Due to high demand at previous panel events and limited space, the Internet Society is providing advance information about registration.  Online registration will open tomorrow, 3 November, in two time blocks.  To account for the broad range of home timezones of IETF participants, half of the available spaces available will be open for registration at 00:01 UTC, with the remaining spaces made available at 12:01 UTC.  Look for a registration form link at the webpage above at these times. 

For those unable to attend, we expect to provide a live (and archived) audiocast, information for which will be available at the webpage above.
