This week is IETF 100 in Singapore, and we’re bringing you daily blog posts highlighting some of the topics that Deploy360 is interested in. Thursday is another busy day, with the second sessions of the V6OPS and DNSOPS Working Groups, along with the first meeting of the DOH Working Group and other encryption-related activities.
V6OPS continues at 09.30 SGT/UTC+8 from where it left off. On the agenda are drafts relating to 464XLAT Deployment Guidelines for Operator Networks, transition requirements for IPv6 customer edge routers, and IPv6 prefix delegation for hosts. There’s other drafts on DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation and Neighbour Discovery on a cellular connected IoT router, and on using a /64 from a customer prefix for numbering an IPv6 point-to-point link. Finally, there’s an initiative to clarify about what functionalities should determine whether a network is ‘IPv6-only’.
Running at the same time is TLS, which will be primarily focusing on the two big issues of TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.3. However, it will also be discussing drafts on connection ID, exported authenticators, protecting against denial of service attacks, and application layer TLS.
NOTE: If you are unable to attend IETF 100 Continue reading

Appreciated by some, taken for granted by many, the Internet is understood by few who use it. Underneath the ability to communicate instantaneously with people across the globe, conduct major business transactions with a click of a button and have the latest news and entertainment at our fingertips lies a vast landscape of data, unfettered by regulation, and spurred by competitive growth.
kc claffy, this year’s Jonathan B. Postel Service Award winner, has been with the Internet from nearly its very beginnings. She’s watched its evolution from military project to government-funded point-to-point communication to its current iteration as a private sector behemoth.
claffy is one of the few brave scientists who measure the Internet. She’s leading the way to the future by opening our eyes to the layers of data beneath the surface along with the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), a group she founded in 1996.
“The work that we do isn’t easy to get funded because the Internet itself isn’t yet its own subject,” claffy said. “It’s even a struggle for the agencies to get funding, since infrastructure isn’t very sexy.”
Sexy or not, claffy has been measuring the Internet since the early Continue reading
I know that everyone learns in a slightly different way. Let me share the approach that usually works well for me when a tough topic I’m trying to master includes a practical (hands-on) component: running controlled experiments.
