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.<br></div><div class="" style="font-weight:400;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div class="">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…<br></div><div class=""><br></div></div></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400"><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">Previous presentations are here:<span class=""> </span><a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.iepg.org/" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(84,172,220)" target="_blank">http://www.iepg.org/</a><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400"><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">More info on the IEPG: RFC 1690 -<span class=""> </span><a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1690" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(84,172,220)" target="_blank">https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1690</a><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">We will have remote participation through MeetEcho.<br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400"><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">If you have some sort of operationally relevant topic which you'd be willing to present, please let Jen Linkova <<a href="mailto:furry13@gmail.com" class="">furry13@gmail.com</a>> or me know.<br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400"><br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">Thanks, <br></div><div class="" style="text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;font-weight:400">W<br></div></div><div></div><br><div class="gmail_signature"></div></div></body></html>
