[Newsclips] IETF SYN-ACK Newspack 2021-12-20

[David Goldstein <[e-mail]>]

Hi IETF Participants,

 

This is the final IETF SYN-ACK Newspack for 2021. I hope you’ve enjoyed it! I’ll return in 2022 in the week commencing 10 January. Thanks for those of you who have sent in comments, mostly good! But I do appreciate the good and bad feedback. And anyone with news to share, especially if it’s by IETF participants, please send through and I will include it. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll continue to monitor the news.

 

Till the Newspack returns, for those of you celebrating Christmas and new year, merry Christmas and happy new year. For everyone, take care and stay safe in what for many are challenging times.

The IETF SYN-ACK Newspack collects IETF-related items from a variety of news outlets and other online publications. They do not represent the views of the IETF and are not checked for factual accuracy.

 

Kind regards,

David

DENIC - the Cooperative behind .de - Turns 25!

Anybody who surfs the Internet in Germany – to visit a website, to write an e-mail or a blog, to browse an online shop, to book a ticket for a train or concert, to do digital banking, to stream a film or music, to keep fit with a virtual sports course during the lockdown, or to confer with colleagues working from home via video call – very frequently, although mostly without knowing, makes use of the services of DENIC eG (Deutsches Network Information Center). This is the case, whenever a .de stands behind the web offer. ... As a cooperative characterised by community spirit and committed to democratic values, DENIC is also actively involved – beyond the realm of its core tasks – in various multistakeholder processes at national and international level where different interest groups meet to deal with critical and complex themes around the Internet. Through its participation in national and international coordination and standardisation bodies like ICANN, RIPE or IETF, DENIC contributes to the preservation and further development of the Internet as an open, free and secure medium.

The space between IPv6 allocations: part 2 by George Michaelson

The first post in this series explored how and why APNIC delegates IPv6 address space to its Members using the ‘binary chop’ method, in which each subsequent delegation of IPv6 can be the size of all the previous delegations given to that Member in this part of the address space. Basically, they can double in size each time if need be. ... The various ideas around IPv6 addressing are interesting, and they are worth discussing. If you want to be part of that discussion, you should get involved! These ideas are under active discussion in the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), which meets regularly at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Opinion: IPv4 address markets by Geoff Huston

Something odd happened through 2021 in the market for IPv4 addresses. Across 2021, the reported market price for the transfer of IPv4 addresses has doubled, from approximately USD 27 per IPv4 individual address at the end of 2020, to around USD 55 per address in December 2021. It has taken seven years for the market price to rise from just under USD 10 to get to USD 20 per address. 2020 saw the price rise a further USD 7 per address, and then in the next 12 months the market price doubled. ... IPv4 has a 32-bit address space that’s fixed and finite. If we want to encompass a larger set of directly connected devices we need a larger address field, or at least that was the thinking at the time of the IETF’s collective ruminations on routing and addressing in the early 1990s.

IETF 112: Glenn Dean on Rubbing Shoulders With The Internet’s Elite Standards Setters and Developing Adaptive DNS Discovery

Rubbing shoulders with the elite of internet experts and developing future standards are reasons why Glenn Dean is involved in developing tomorrow’s internet standards. Dean, who currently works for Comcast-NBCUniversal, is involved in the Adaptive DNS Discovery (ADD) working group, which he says everyone involved in the DNS should be interested in as it covers a lot of different user scenarios. And it is ccTLDs that understand a great many scenarios whereby ADD can be of benefit. What does ADD do? And what was Glenn’s path to being involved in the IETF? Read on.

Global internet outages explained

... The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been working to improve the security of BGP, but the complexity and growth of the internet has made this very difficult, particularly as changes often require every single operator to reconfigure their routers or upgrade their hardware.

Open networking agility and control for a new era of connectivity

... Pere Monclus, VP/CTO, Networking with software vendor VMware remembers the input of standard bodies like the IETF, helping to look for a way to open up the definition of protocols and packet formats so networks could interoperate: “Now, fast forward 20 years, the meaning of openness has changed,” he says. “From an open source point of view we now have operating systems, abstraction, interfaces of size, contributing to a much more open ecosystem from open standards to open ecosystems.”

INTERNET OF THINGS

**********************

The future is not the Internet of Things… it is the Connected Intelligent Edge

The ‘Internet of Things’ was first coined to help people understand the concept of digital appliances that could communicate with an app or central hub. If you’ve been to CES at any point in the last decade, you could see many examples on the show floor, such as connected weight scales or a connected fridge. But these early examples of ‘connected’ tech felt more gimmicky than useful, and were largely contained to the consumer electronics industry. With the onset of 5G and AI technologies giving us the possibility to intelligently connect everything 100% of the time, the scale, utility and promise of connected things are evolving to be transformational, ushering in what some are calling a ‘true digital revolution.’

The 5 Biggest Internet Of Things (IoT) Trends In 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that describes the increasingly sophisticated ecosystems of online, connected devices we share our world with. The slightly odd name refers to the fact that the first iteration of the internet was simply a network of connected computers. As the internet grew, phones, office equipment like printers and scanners, and industrial machinery were added to the internet. Today, just about any device we use in our homes, offices, factories, or simply wear on our bodies can be online and connected, hence the internet of "things."

It’s mostly just people arguing about what it is exactly; what it will mean; and — since tech has always been an industry populated by narcissists — who’ll be king of it all. That last one is also kind of a joke, so relax. But, if like most of us, you’re still scratching your head about Web3, think of it as the next phase of the internet following Web1 (broadly, websites and browsers) and Web2 (encompassing apps, social media and mobile) that’s meant to be a more decentralized internet run on blockchain, the technology that underpins things like cryptocurrency and NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, that are all the rage. If it functions as imagined, Web3 will bring more power into the hands of creators and away from the mega-corporations like Google, Facebook and Amazon that have dominated the current iteration of the internet.

The irrational exuberance of web3

This year’s hottest new tech terms are definitely “web3” and “metaverse.” The former refers to a decentralized web, based on the blockchain, while the latter is a combination of the internet and augmented and virtual reality. It is possible that we will see a merging of the concepts at some point. That is, if the concepts ever turn into anything.

National Instruments Paves the Way for Terahertz Regime in 6G Networks: Developing tools that can test new technologies for 6G networks is the key step in making it a reality

While 5G networks continue their rollout around the world, researchers and engineers are already looking ahead to a new generation of mobile networks, dubbed 6G. One of the key elements for 6G networks will be to move beyond the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum and up into the terahertz (THz) spectrum. The THz spectrum will certainly open up more bandwidth, but there are a number of technical challenges that will need to be addressed if mobile networks can ever exploit this spectrum.

If 6G Becomes Just 5G+, We’ll Have Made a Big Mistake: Iterating current tech is a bad idea; semantic communication could be the answer

We are still in the early stages of 5G rollouts, with many years still ahead in its technological evolution. But following the traditional 10-year cycle for developing new wireless generations, research into 6G is already going ahead at full steam. Several 6G initiatives around the world, including the first, 6GENESIS, led by the University of Oulu in Finland, are paving the way for the standardization process that is expected to kick off in 2025 or 2026.

Solutions for Providing Internet Access to Rural Areas: IEEE explores employing ICT, regulations, and standards

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought home the need to provide Internet connectivity to underserved communities. Many people with affordable access have been able to work from home, learn remotely, and shop online, but that certainly hasn’t been the case for everyone. Almost half the world’s population has no Internet access, according to the World Economic Forum. And where access is available, it can be too expensive.

NIS2 Inconsistency – a DNS Supply Chain Perspective

The European Union’s Network and Information Security directive (NIS2) is missing an opportunity to foster accountability across the entire DNS supply chain. Instead of focusing on the outcome for the consumer, NIS2 is trying regulate specific points in the network.

Internet Centralization – New Pulse Focus Area Provides New Perspectives

The Internet is built on a decentralized model. Its many network operators make independent decisions about how to interconnect, and the core functions and decisions required to keep the Internet running are distributed among its participants using open standards and protocols. This decentralized architecture, where power and control are distributed, has been key to the Internet’s success by fostering resilience, innovation, and connectivity at a global scale. But to what degree is the current Internet in line with this decentralized ideal? And what are the trends?

Toward managing network traffic by domain name

Network management is hard. Among many reasons, grappling with low-level, unintuitive identifiers, such as IP addresses, is one of them. Consider this example: ‘Today, huge traffic came from 142.250.65.174’. This statement is not that useful to anybody. Instead, what if the IP addresses were automatically translated to higher-level names like ‘YouTube’? Immediately, this statement becomes much easier to understand. The same principle applies to specifying network policies. For example, it would be much easier and more intuitive to write policies like: ‘Bypass the firewall for traffic from YouTube.’
