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
