There are two issues here:

1. Open standard vs.open source code: we can argue all we want,
OpenStack/OpenFlow/OpenvSwitch/Hadoop/EC2 are making real impact. IMHO, any
standard without tight-coupling to the running implementation is nothing
but a waste of time - may that be open or close standard. Standards would
help the deployment of the technology, but it's the open source code that
has been the front runner in cloud computing.

You have mentioned SIP and IETF. During the same period of time Skype was
also around. It's not open source code, but free application. At the end of
the day, can anyone argue Skype is making less impact on VoIP because there
is no proper standardization? My point is, let's not put standard and
running code on the opposite side of a scale. Standard can only benefit
from the running code.

2. Layering: IP networking runs on many layers. My point was that anything
to do with IP networking would be investigated and worked on in IETF. But
the non-networking application should not. If we are to support scalable
filesystems in data centers, such as HDFS, should that be standardized in
IETF?
