Hi IPPM,

If you haven’t seen it yet, the IAB is holding a workshop on measuring network quality. This is a topic for which IPPM has a lot of expertise, so I hope you can submit papers and join!

Submissions are due by August 2, details below. 

Best,
Tommy

> The Internet in 2021 is quite different from what it was 10 years ago. 
> Today, it is a crucial part of everyone’s daily life. People use the 
> Internet for their social life, for their daily jobs, for routine 
> shopping, and for keeping up with major events. An increasing number of 
> people can access a Gigabit connection, which would be hard to imagine a 
> decade ago. And, thanks to improvements in security, people trust the 
> Internet for both planning their finances and for everyday payments.
> 
> At the same time, some aspects of end-user experience have not improved 
> as much. Many users have typical connection latency that remains at 
> decade-old levels. Despite significant reliability improvements in data 
> center environments, end users often see interruptions in service. 
> Transport improvements, such as QUIC, Multipath TCP, and TCP Fast Open 
> are still not fully supported in some networks. Likewise, various 
> advances in the security and privacy of user data are not widely 
> supported, such as encrypted DNS to the local resolver.
> 
> We believe that one of the major factors behind this lack of progress is 
> the popular perception that throughput is the often sole measure of the 
> quality of Internet connectivity. With such narrow focus, people don’t 
> consider questions such as:
> 
>  • What is the latency under typical working conditions?
>  • How reliable is the connectivity across longer time periods?
>  • Does the network allow the use of a broad range of protocols?
>  • What services can be run by clients of the network?
>  • What kind of IPv4, NAT or IPv6 connectivity is offered, and are 
>    there firewalls?
>  • What security mechanisms are available for local services, such as 
>    DNS?
>  • To what degree are the privacy, confidentiality, integrity and 
>    authenticity of user communications guarded?
> 
> Improving these aspects of network quality will likely depend on 
> measurement and exposing metrics to all involved parties, including to 
> end users in a meaningful way. Such measurements and exposure of the 
> right metrics will allow service providers and network operators to 
> focus on the aspects that impacts the users’ experience most and at the 
> same time empowers users to choose the Internet service that will give 
> them the best experience.
> 
> The IAB is holding this workshop to convene interested researchers, 
> network operators, and Internet technologists to share their experiences 
> and to collaborate on the steps needed to define properties and metrics 
> with the goal of improving Internet access for all users.
> 
> The workshop will discuss the following questions:
> 
> 1. What are the fundamental properties of a network that contribute to 
>    good user experience?
> 2. What metrics quantify these properties, and how to collect such 
>    metrics in a practical way?
> 3. What are the best practices for interpreting those metrics, and 
>    incorporating those in a decision making process?
> 4. What are the best ways to communicate these properties to service 
>    providers and network operators?
> 5. How can these metrics be displayed to users in a meaningful way?
> 
> We realize that the answers to these questions will vary depending on 
> the different experiences of the participants. For example, a commercial 
> video streaming platform may prioritize higher throughput and to rely on 
> latency-hiding techniques, while a massively-multiplayer online game may 
> prioritize lower jitter, and invest into techniques for graceful 
> degradation of the user experience in case of reduced network capacity. 
> At the same time, researchers from the academia may be looking at 
> properties and metrics that haven’t been adopted by the industry at all. 
> Likewise, participants may endorse different methodologies for 
> interpreting the metrics and for making decisions. We are actively 
> looking for identifying such methodologies and for capturing the 
> respective best practices.
> 
> While this workshop isn’t focusing on the solution space, we are 
> welcoming submissions that dive into particular technologies, to the 
> extent of helping to set the context for the discussion. Comparing the 
> merits of specific solutions, however, is outside of the workshop’s 
> scope.
> 
> Interested participants are invited to submit position papers on the 
> workshop questions. Paper size is not limited, but brevity is 
> encouraged. Interested participants who have published relevant academic 
> papers may submit these as a position paper, optionally with a short 
> abstract. The workshop itself will be a virtual meeting over several 
> sessions, with focused discussion based on the position paper topics 
> received.

> 
> Send Submissions to: network-quality-workshop-pc@iab.org.
> 
> Position papers from academia, industry, the open source community and 
> others that focus on measurements, experiences, observations and advice 
> for the future are welcome. Papers that reflect experience based on 
> deployed services are especially welcome. The organizers understand that 
> specific actions taken by operators are unlikely to be discussed in 
> detail, so papers discussing general categories of actions and issues 
> without naming specific technologies, products, or other players in the 
> ecosystem are expected. Papers should not focus on specific protocol 
> solutions.
> 
> The workshop will be by invitation only. Those wishing to attend should 
> submit a position paper to the address above; it may take the form of an 
> Internet-Draft.
> 
> All inputs submitted and considered relevant will be published on the 
> workshop website. The organisers will decide whom to invite based on the 
> submissions received. Sessions will be organized according to content, 
> and not every accepted submission or invited attendee will have an 
> opportunity to present as the intent is to foster discussion and not 
> simply to have a sequence of presentations.
> 
> Position papers from those not planning to attend the virtual sessions 
> themselves are also encouraged. A workshop report will be published 
> afterwards.
