From warren at kumari.net Mon Jan 12 18:38:47 2026 From: warren at kumari.net (Warren Kumari) Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:38:47 -0500 Subject: IEPG @ IETF 125 - Shenzhen Message-ID: Hi all, The IEPG is an informal gathering that meets on the Sunday prior to IETF meetings. The intended theme of these meetings is essentially one of operational relevance in some form or fashion. These presentations / discussions are generally around things like problems discovered when deploying various protocols, interesting operational issues or deployments, interesting measurement results, fun things discovered while building networks, etc. It is much more operationally focused than an IETF Working Group meeting, and is not a place to just present your shiny new Internet Draft (that's HotRFC and / or the relevant WG). So, things like: "If you have a chain of CNAME records, and one of them is at the apex of a DNS zone, the 3 largest resolver implementations all do different things. This allows you to fingerprint resolvers - here are some results?.", or "We implemented BGP Flowspec to allow fast response to DDoS events? and then we pushed out a rule which blocked access to the controller. This is what happened after that?" are all great IEPG presentations. But "Here is my draft. It adds the Foo extension to the Bar protocol. The format of the Foo extension looks like this?. If a router using Bar sees this extension, it should increment the Baz counter. The YANG model for Foo looks like this? " is not ? that should be discussed in the Bar WG, or HotRFC, or Dispatch, or similar? Previous presentations are here: http://www.iepg.org/ More info on the IEPG: RFC 1690 - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1690 We will have remote participation through MeetEcho. If you have some sort of operationally relevant topic which you'd be willing to present, please let Jen Linkova or me know.
