  • First Impressions from the IAB AI-CONTROL workshop

    The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) organized a workshop on 19-20 September 2024 to discuss issues around and possibilities for practical mechanisms that publishers of data on the Internet could employ to opt out of use by the Large Language Models and other machine learning techniques used for Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  • New Participant activities at the IETF: Major expansion coming for IETF 122!

    The IETF New Participants program has a long history of helping people just starting out in the IETF be more effective. Based on feedback from program participants over the past two years, and in consultation with the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG), the program will be significantly enhanced starting with IETF 122 Bangkok.

The Yokohama IETF Hackathon is now in progress!

There is a bit less people than in the previous one, but still a good turnout, and a good number of exciting projects:

  • IPv4 configuration through DHCPv6 (per RFC 7341)
  • Improving privacy through DPRIVE. Currently, DNS queries leak a lot of metadata information to access networks, even if actual communications are secure.
  • Home networking on IPv6, and the ability to support multiple home routers, multiple interfaces, and so on. Building new solutions on top of the HOMENET working group’s work.
  • Intent-based network modelling, generating network configuration from high level descriptions of what applications need, without the applications having to configure specific nodes or paths.
  • Building tools to test the myriad of configurations that ICE allows.
  • Data-based network control with I2RS, NETCONF, and YANG. Also building tools to help analyse and verify YANG models across IETF and other standards organisations and open source projects.
  • Improving Daala video codec.
  • Building information-centric networking on top of link layers directly, running on very small devices and the RIOT operating system.
  • Building support for Service Function Chaining (SFC), allowing complex or simple services to be built from network components in a flexible manner.

I’m very excited to see the results of these projects tomorrow Sunday! I also wanted to thank Charles Eckel for running the show and Cisco DevNet for sponsoring the event!
