Hi, folks,

it's been very quiet in this list, but I wanted to make you aware of a new IETF mailing list for the discussion of networking issues related to data centers: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dc

Also, there will likely be an IETF-sponsored interim meeting, see the announcement below.

I am hoping that this new interest will revive the discussions around an IRTF datacenter research group...

Lars

> The IETF Operations and Routing Areas will hold a two-day joint interim meeting in late January or early February to discuss networking
> challenges encountered in data centers. A doodle poll has been posted at http://www.doodle.com/hiu9xgw7tg7pkrwg in order to gauge interest
> and identify a convenient date. While a venue has not yet been chosen, the IETF is considering sites in the eastern part of the United States
> and Canada. An attendance fee may be charged to cover meeting costs.
> 
> Those requesting time on the agenda are asked to submit Internet Drafts in the following areas:
> 
> - New services offered through data centers
> - Networking requirements for the data center
> - Network architectures for the data center
> - Scaling, resiliency, security issues in the data center networks
> 
> Internet Drafts considered by this meeting will specify motivation, requirements and constraints for data center networking solutions
> to be developed by the IETF. Presentations regarding solutions will be entertained only if that discussion helps to describe the problem
> space and time permits a balanced discussion of candidate technologies.
> 
> All drafts presented at this meeting will be announced and discussed on the IETF Data Center Mailing List ([email-masked]). Those submitting
> drafts are asked to announce them to the mailing list upon submission.
