Re: [Sdn] new draft on SDN for DDoS mitigation

Hello everyone,

I have been reading the emails for this list for a while and wanted to
contribute.

My research this year as part of my MSc was on Threat Mitigation & Digital
Forensics in Software Defined Networks.

I have never contributed to IETF before but would like to get more involved
with the SDNRG.

What is the best way to engage?

Should I help some contributors with their research?, submit a paper or
throw out some ideas.

best regards
