Oddly, I thought that the IETF network was intended to be a utility service network, for use by participants, rather than a demonstration effort for various educational (or experimental) goals.

The rule that engineers (and others) should live with what they impose on their customers is generally a good one, but the IETF event permits no serious learning, just an opportunity for communications hassles during a critical week.
