The "IETF Journal", is an Internet Society publication produced in cooperation with the Internet Engineering Task Force. Our aim is to provide an easily understandable overview of what's happening in the world of Internet standards with a particular focus on the activities of the IETF Working Groups (WG). Each issue of the "IETF Journal" will highlight some of the hot issues being discussed in IETF meetings and in the IETF mailing lists.

The articles published in the IETF Journal are not intended to reflect the opinions or the position of the IETF or the Internet Society.

We hope that this publication will give anyone with an interest in Internet standards an opportunity to keep abreast of many of the topics being debated by the IETF, and also facilitate participation in IETF activities for newcomers. We encourage you to send the IEFT Team your feedback and to let them know what you'd like to see in future issues. Your suggestions for themes or topics for future articles are most welcome.  You can contact them at: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
