If this is your 50th IETF, I find it difficult to believe that you
haven't seen Bob Moskowitz more than five times....

Rohit,
The IETF prides itself on formality. You should be prepared to wear
only
the finest and most conservative business suits. For social events
such
as the opening reception, we generally expect to greet each other in
tuxedos.
See for example https://www.execstyle.com/fashion.asp
OK, I'm kidding!
This will be my 50th IETF, and I can count on one hand the number of
people times the number of events where I have actually seen a suit.
"Casual and comfortable" is a phrase that describes us well. We favor
the
practical over the formal. Don't be surprised to see people sitting on
the floor or hanging out the side of a building if such a location
improves 802.11 reception.
Welcome to the club!

this
will be ours first IETF Meeting. Is there any dress code which is
followed out there?
I went though the Tao of IETF from the ietf.org site and just was
interested in others experiences.
