Internet Society Briefing Panel at IETF 93

2015-07-09 09:56:37
Hello -

We are pleased to announce the Internet Society Briefing Panel at IETF 93: 
"Tackling Connectivity Diversity: Protocol Challenges for Constrained Radio 
Networks and Devices.”

Registration is NOW OPEN, Thursday, 9 July, in two batches at 09:00 UTC and 
21:00 UTC for global time zone fairness. Due to high demand for limited 
seating, pre-registration is required to attend the Briefing Panel in person. 
See https://www.internetsociety.org/internet-society-briefing-panel-ietf-93 for 
the registration link.

The Briefing Panel will also be webcast and audiocast. No registration for the 
webcast is required.

SESSION ABSTRACT

In many areas, Internet connectivity is primarily via low-end mobile devices 
capable of only 2G or 3G connections to cellular networks. But many application 
developers live and work with much faster computing platforms and networking 
environments. Does the infrastructure need to change to accommodate the 
continuing use of these devices? Is this a transient condition of uneven 
development, or do we need to re-architect and re-design systems to better cope 
with connectivity diversity?

Key transports had assumptions built on wireline networks. The next billion 
users won't be on wireline networks, and even current users with access to both 
wireless and wireline networks use wireless networks more often. What does 
designing for the networks they *will* be on look like - whether at the 
transport layer or in the application, or at the interface between the two?

In this session during IETF 93, panelists will try to better understand the 
diversity of Internet connectivity and terminals, and discuss the challenges 
and responses to these modes of Internet connectivity including:

        • How application developers are dealing with terminal and connectivity 
diversity
        • Considerations for protocol developers
        • How restricted connectivity impacts user behavior
        • Design principles that could be extrapolated from the data and the 
technical responses to date
        • How power management and connectivity management interact

Moderator:
Olaf Kolkman, Internet Society

Panelists:
Ted Hardie, Independent
Blake Matheny, Facebook
Henning Wiemann, Ericsson
