Isn't it the role of the IRTF/IAB/? to look at which areas should the
IETF put more effort into?
Is there some kind of vision, road map, looking forward?
A wish list, which would stay as a wish list pending people willingness
to work on the items.
I think there is a need to analyse orientations, like bringing an
outsider to speak to IETF to raise new issues, like at last IETF with
power and computing and the fact that wakeonlan does not work and would
be real useful: how much intelligence to put in the card to wake up the
PC only when needed and not every time someone send a packet to the card.
Cheers

Dave,
MPLS is an IP technology that has been largely driven inside IETF. Millions
of users have benefited from the backbones running with MPLS protocols. It's
about 10-year old. MPLS has refined, modified and reused many other IETF
protocols, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS and BGP etc.
Also for the role of IETF, I think it should take a more active role in
creating standard protocols for the industry. One example comes to mind is
in the area of streaming video - way too many proprietary protocols today.
Another place that needs some serious help is P2P. The lack of standard in
those areas has negative impact to their growth.
Regards,
- Ping
