IEPG @ IETF 127 - San Francisco, CA USA — Nov 2026

[Warren Kumari]

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.
More info on the IEPG is in RFC 1690 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1690>.

These presentations are, ideally,  interesting operational issues or
deployments, interesting measurement results, fun things discovered while
building networks, problems and gotcha's discovered when deploying various
protocols, etc.

The IEPG 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, and break in this odd way..."
or:
"We implemented BGP Flowspec… and then we pushed out a rule which blocked
access to the controller. This is what happened after that…"
are all great IEPG presentations.

Something like: "Here is my draft: draft-anne-elk-brontosauruses-theory. It
has 27 pages, and it covers that all brontosauruses are thin at one end,
much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end." is
NOT a good IEPG topic - that should be discussed in the Bar WG, or HotRFC,
or Dispatch[0].


Previous presentations are here: http://www.iepg.org/


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 the chairs (iepg-chairs at ietf.org) know as
soon as possible.

Warren (for IEPG Chairs)
