Internet Society's Rough Guide to IETF 88's Hot Topics
-----------------------------------------------
In just a few days, more than 1200 Internet engineers will descend on Vancouver to spend a week working on the latest issues in Internet technologies and protocol engineering at IETF 88 (3-8 November 2013):
http://www.ietf.org/meeting/88/index.html
More information about remote participation options is available at:

The Internet Society is pleased to bring you this Rough Guide to the IETF 88, covering the sessions most relevant to our current work. The online summary version of this Rough Guide is available at:
http://www.internetsociety.org/rough-guide-ietf88
(all times UTC -8)
Regular Rough Guide readers will notice a new approach this time around. For more detail, see:

--------------
+ IETF Technical Plenary
In the first morning plenary in more than a decade, the IAB technical plenary will feature Bruce Schneier on Wednesday morning, to talk about what we do (and do not) know in terms of what has been compromised by the apparent US National Security Administration (NSA) activities. That session will be rounded out by IESG Security Area Director, Stephen Farrell, who will outline proposed directions for constructive IETF activities to address what we do know as issues. It will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person.
(6 November 2013, 900-1130)

--------------
+ IGOVUPDAT BoF
The IGOVUPDAT BoF will provide an opportunity for updates on “Internet governance” as it relates to IETF areas of interest. The first topic is an update of “Next Generation WHOIS at ICANN”, which is valuable input to the IETF’s ongoing WEIRDS (WHOIS service update) work, but speaks more generally to the question of requirements outside the IETF’s own protocols. The agenda will also feature an update from the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting that took place recently in Bali.
(4 November 2013, 1300-1430)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/88/agenda/igovupdate/
--------------
+ Internet Research Task Force Open Meeting
The IETF agenda also features some Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) research group meetings. Of particular note, Applied Networking Research Prize winner Idilio Drago will present his work “Inside Dropbox: Understanding Personal Cloud Storage Services" at the Internet Research Task Force open meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
(5 November 2013, 1420-1550)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/88/agenda/irtfopen/
--------------
+ ISOC at IETF 88 Briefing Panel: IPv6 — What Does Success Look Like?
We will be holding the ISOC at IETF briefing panel to discuss the work of the IETF in the context of the Internet and the world at large. This time, during “IPv6 – What Does Success Look Like?” we'll be taking another look at IPv6, and this time what success with IPv6 looks like and what future key milestones for IPv6 lay ahead. The panel will be livestreamed as well, so plan to tune in.

Routing Resilience
Security is an important topic for the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in general and at IETF 88 next week in Vancouver in particular. Not for nothing, all RFCs are required to have a ‘Security Considerations’ section to encourage document authors to consider security in their designs and to inform the reader of relevant security issues (RFC3552/BCP72). Security has many facets and the specific focus of each IETF working group (WG) is different. Efforts with the common aim of making Internet infrastructure more resilient and secure are spread across several WGs. For a complete review, see:

IPv6
The Internet relies on a single addressing framework to have global reach and integrity. IPv4 address space is insufficient, and IPv6 has been developed by the IETF as its successor. IPv6 recently passed a significant milestone in global IPv6 deployment: the percentage of users reaching Google services over IPv6 crossed the 2% threshold (http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2013/09/ipv6-deployment-hits-2-keeps-growing), and the pace of use seems to be accelerating. While the standard for IPv6 has long-since been finished, there are ongoing discussions in the IETF of maintenance issues in the protocols, IPv6 operational issues and management, and possible uses in home networks and very large-scale networks (of small scale devices). Many of these discussions will happen at IETF 88 in Vancouver next week. For more, see:

Scalability and Performance
The public policy world is full of discussions of appropriate (and inappropriate) management of bandwidth in the face of growing network usage. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) andInternet Research Task Force (IRTF) have a number of efforts underway at IETF 88 in Vancouver next week to explore and address more sophisticated ways to make use of available bandwidth, improve Internet performance, and otherwise get content to where it needs to be, efficiently. Read our complete rundown of this area at:

DNSSEC, DANE, and DNS
On the Internet, the Domain Name System (DNS) performs the critical role of translating human-readable domain names into the underlying IP addresses needed by computers to connect. The challenge is that attackers can subvert and modify DNS messages with the result that users and applications can be directed to wrong (and potentially malicious) sites. In response to this threat, the IETF community created DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), which is now being deployed across the Internet. Several Working Groups (WGs) and BoFs will take place at IETF 88 in Vancouver next week to discuss issues related to DNSSEC, DANE, and DNS. Read more at:

Trust, Identity, and Privacy
Recent and ongoing revelations about large-scale Internet surveillance activities have caused concern amongst Internet users worldwide. These users have started to question their basic understanding of the privacy and security of their information online. While there is much to be concerned about in the revelations, this information disclosure also represents an opportunity to focus on the development of more robust technical solutions and improved user understanding. The IETF has a key role to play in setting standards for digital identity, security, and privacy, and in ensuring that the standardization process contributes to the overall trustworthiness of the Internet. Many Working Groups and Birds of a Feather (Bof) sessions will take place at IETF 88 in Vancouver next week to discuss these issues. See the entire summary at:
