The first month or so of the year saw an extraordinary amount of activity from the The Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). This month, three new working groups have been approved, Site Multihoming in IPv6 (MULTI6), Application Exchange (APEX), and SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging (SIMPLE).
The Internet Engineering Task Force dealt with some 30 Requests For Comment in February, dealing with topics including IPv6, privacy, routing, and security logging. Included are links to all the month's original RFCs.
The IESG has been busy managing working groups, largely as the result of creating a new "sub-IP" area.
Finally! The MPLS specifications have been published. Interesting Informationals talk about Sieve--a handy language that will help you filter spam--and NAT.
After a slow start in September, the IESG got busy and issued quite a few RFCs, along with a number of protocol and document action announcements.
It takes a couple of months to get back in gear after summer vacation--and the IETF is no exception.
A full baker's dozen of new RFCssome truly significantand ten protocol and document actions were announced in the past two weeks. Things are starting to get busy again.
The IETF has completed its 48th meeting. The flow of RFCs has begun again, as Pete Loshin reports in his biweekly column.
Last week, Pittsburgh hosted the 48th IETF meeting. The flow of RFCs slowed but didn't stop entirely during the meeting, as Pete Loshin explains.
The Internet Engineering Steering Group has been approving Internet-Drafts right and left--48 of them. Plus there's been a flurry of other activity as IETF 48 approaches.
