Birds of a Feather at IETF 109
Two proposals for early-stage discussion were made for IETF 109.
Once again at IETF 105, a highlight of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Open session was presentations by recent winners of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP).
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded each year for recent results in applied networking research that are relevant to shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. A goal of the ANRP is to recognize the best new ideas in networking and provide them with greater visibility with the IETF and IRTF communities. Prize winners are offered the opportunity to present and participate in-person at an upcoming IETF meeting. These presentations spark discussion among the engineers, network operators, policy makers, and scientists at an IETF meeting about the work of the ANRP awardees.
At IETF 105, a presentation by Neta Rozen Schiff covered work on Network Time Protocol (NTP) security, while Taejoong Chung shared his work on the role of registrars in Domain Name System security. Schiff’s presentation was based on the paper “Preventing (Network) Time Travel with Chronos”, which was previously submitted to the Network and Distributed Systems Security (NDSS) Symposium 2018. Chung talked about his paper “Understanding the Role of Registrars in DNSSEC Deployment” which was previously presented at the ACM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) in November 2017.
See the full presentations at IETF 105 on the IETF YouTube channel. Nominations for the next round of Applied Networking Research Prizes are expected to open in the next few months. Be sure to consider nominating relevant work by keeping an eye on the ANRP webpage or following the IRTF on Twitter to get the latest updates.

Registration is now open for the IETF 109 Online meeting hosted by Cisco.
Think back to the start of what some refer to as “the COVID-19 era.” It was early 2020 and prep for IETF 107 was in full swing. The wiki for the IETF 107 Hackathon already boasted an exciting list of projects.
We recently ran a survey to understand why people who participated in an IETF meeting in 2018/2019 did not participate in IETF 108 to see if there are any issues that we need to fix. The results are now available and this blog post explains some of the insights in the data.
We often talk about how the Internet evolves. In large part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the year 2020 represents a situation where in a relatively short time, new user demands caused fairly significant changes in what the Internet was needed for.
