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 <furry13 at gmail.com> or me know.

Thanks,
W
