Deploy360@IETF89, Day 5: dnsop, uta

IETF LogoIt’s our last day here at the 89th IETF meeting and it’s been a very exhausting but exhilirating meeting so far!  A lot of excellent work happening in so many areas! Our final day here ends with a number of DNSSEC-related topics being presented in the DNSOP Working Group – while at the exact same time is the first meeting of the brand new UTA Working Goup that is part of the inspiration for our new TLS for Applications area of Deploy360.

After that, there is an afternoon meeting of the Internet Society Advisory Council which a few of us will attend… and then we’ll be heading back home!  Thanks for all the many people who have come up to us and told us about how they appreciate our work – that kind of feedback means a lot and is greatly appreciated!

If you do want to meet with us in these few remaining hours of IETF 89, either find us at one of these sessions or send us email to deploy360@isoc.org.

Thanks, again, for all the great feedback!

TDYR #120 – Making An Unusual Choice For My Health…

Today I made a choice that was extremely unusual for me that reflects my newer attitude toward my health...

Deploy360@IETF89, Day 4: dane, sunset4, v6ops, 6tisch, idr, dbound, eppext, sipcore and dnsop

IETF LogoThe fourth day for our Deploy360 team at the 89th IETF meeting could perhaps best be described as “utter madness” as there are multiple working groups meeting on ALL of the topics we cover here:  IPv6, DNSSEC, securing BGP and even our new TLS for Applications area. In particular, several of the major DNS groups are holding their only meetings today.

Details and links are farther down below (along with remote participation info), but as we mentioned in our pre-IETF89 posts about IPv6, DNSSEC and Securing BPG,  today will bring:

  • The meeting of the DANE Working Group (read more about the DANE protocol).
  • The work in SUNSET4 on phasing out IPv4 and the second meeting of v6OPS focused on operational guidance for IPv6.
  • The 6TiSCH work on IPv6 in resource-constrained “Internet of Things” kinds of networks.
  • The IDR working group has many work items relating to BGP.
  • There is a new DBOUND BOF session that is looking into boundaries in the DNS related to domain names and how those could apply to security policies.
  • In EPPEXT there is an extension proposed for how to securely pass DNSSEC keying material between operators and registries.

Beyond all of those, there are two other Thursday meetings that have come to our attention:

  • In the 1300-1500 block when we already have 3 other sessions of interest, the SIPCORE Working Group is planning a 45 minute discussion on “Happy Eyeballs for SIP” looking at what needs to be done to make SIP work over IPv6. (Where SIP is the dominant open standard used in voice-over-IP.)
  • At the end of the day, a brand new timeslot was opened up from 1840-2040 where the DNSOP Working Group is going to get a head-start on their Friday morning agenda and very specifically focus on the outcome of yesterday’s DNSE BOF around what can be done to protect the confidentiality of DNS queries.  The main point of this evening timeslot is so that TLS can be discussed with some of the people from the UTA Working Group joining in to the discussion (since UTA and DNSOP are scheduled at the same time on Friday morning).

All in all its going to be an extremely busy day for all of us!  We’re looking forward to it, though, as great things are definitely happening!

TDYR #119 – There Are Always People Smarter Than You! The Beauty Of An IETF Meeting

There are always people smarter than you... and being around those people can be a great experience in which you learn much. In this episode I talk about how the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meetings are places where this happens for me...

Deploy360@IETF89, Day 3: v6ops, trans, 6lo

IETF LogoToday at the 89th IETF meeting we’re talking a good bit about IPv6.  The day starts with the first session of the IPv6 Operations Working Group (v6ops) that today will be looking at a number of documents about the impact of Neighbor Discovery multicasting on WiFi networks and exploring what can be done to provide operational guidance to network operators.

Later in the day we’ll be looking at IPv6 in the “Internet of Things” and other environments that are “resource-constrained”, i.e. devices with low levels of power, networking or processing capabilities.  That will be in the IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes (6lo) working group, one of the many IPv6 groups we’re monitoring at this IETF meeting.

At the same time that 6lo is meeting (for the first part), at least one of us will also be over in the Public Notary Transparency (trans) Working Group where, as I wrote about last week, they are looking at updating the “Certificate Transparency” work for logging TLS certificate usage.  This has some connection to the work we’re doing with DANE and now as well with TLS for applications.

Along the way, we’ll also be at the IRTF Open Meeting and in various other groups leading up to the Operations and Adminstration Plenary happening tonight and being broadcast live at http://www.ietf.org/live/ starting at 17:50-20:20 UTC.

If you’d like to meet with us, please do say hello in one of these sessions!

Deploy360@IETF89, Day 2: homenet, sidr, grow, dnse, 6man

IETF LogoDay 2 for the Deploy360 team here at the 89th IETF meeting is a big day for routing and for IPv6. Two of the main routing groups, SIDR and GROW, meet today, and our colleague Andrei Robachevsky recently wrote about the important work happening in both groups to make the Internet’s routing infrastructure more secure.

Two of the important IPv6 groups we are monitoring are meeting today: HOMENET and 6MAN.  Homenet is focused on “home networks” and the role IPv6 plays there.  They are doing some very cool work within the group and a couple of our members are there.  In the afternoon, the 6man group will be looking at changes to the IPv6 protocol. As our colleague Phil Roberts recently wrote, a big focus here will be around efficient neighbor discovery.

Today will also have a “Birds of a Feather” (BOF) meeting for the “DNSE” group.  This is not a formal working group but rather a meeting to talk about some potential areas of work within other groups within the IETF.  As I wrote about in a recent post:

Another feature of today will be the “Internet Society @ IETF89 Briefing Panel” today from 11:45-12:45 UTC where the topic is “Evolution of end-to-end: why the Internet is not like any other network“.  It should be quite an interesting discussion that will also be live streamed out via Google+ / YouTube.

If you are here at IETF 89, please do say hello!  And if you are remote, you can follow along using the information at the bottom of the page and also follow us on Twitter at @deploy360 and also @isoctech.

Deploy360@IETF89, Day 1: dnssd, sipcore, technical plenary

IETF LogoOur first day here at the 89th IETF meeting for the Deploy360 team starts off with a lighter schedule… which is okay because later in the week we are double- or triple-booked in some session timeslots! Today the main DNSSEC / DANE session is one that I actually did NOT write about in my “Rough Guide to IETF 89: DNSSEC, DANE and DNS” post because at that time I was not aware that DANE would be discussed in this working group. It’s the “SIPCORE” working group focused on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) used in voice-over-IP and while the agenda for the SIPCORE session has not yet been posted as I write this note, Olle Johansson let me know that he’d be talking about SIP and DANE in that session.

In fact, Olle’s slides about SIP and DANE are now posted online and they look quite good. I’m looking forward to that discussion this afternoon!

Prior to SIPCORE, the other group on our watch list will be the DNSSD group that, as I mentioned in the Rough Guide post, is looking at how to extend DNS service discovery past the local network.   Before that, in the morning, odds are that at least one of us will be in the DHC working group as it is focused on DHCP and includes a number of IPv6 issues on its agenda.

The day will conclude with the IETF 89 Technical Plenary that will have as a technical focus “Bitcoin, cybercurrencies and Internet payment systems”.  While not directly connected to the work we do here at Deploy360, it should be an interesting discussion!  If you are not here in London, you can watch the IETF 89 Technical Plenary at:

That’s what our day 1 looks like at IETF 89 – if you are here please do feel free to find us and say hello!
