IAB Workshop on Measuring Network Quality for End Users / The elusive nature of QoS in the Internet by Geoff Huston

The telephone network used to have a remarkably clear overriding service objective: sustain a discernable human conversation. To be discernible to human listeners, it’s necessary to carry audio frequencies between 300 and 3,500Hz. Most of the energy in a human voice signal is below 1Khz, and speaking would fit within a dynamic range of 50db from quiet to loud. ... If this looks like a pretty accurate representation of the old voice telephone network then it’s probably not a coincidence. If this also looks to have all the inefficiencies of the old voice telephone network then that too would not be a coincidence. There was an effort in the IETF to improve service signalling at one point, and the Next Steps in Signalling Working Group (NSIS WG) was chartered by the IETF in 2001 to work on a replacement for the RSVP protocol that explicitly included a QoS signalling protocol component.

Epic Games believes the Internet is broken. This is their blueprint to fix it.

... Sweeney pointed out that even if the last year of quarantine accelerated the acceptance of persistent online worlds operating like our real one, there’s a host of standards and practices that need to be ironed out to create any kind of metaverse, not unlike how government-funded researchers in 1986 formed the Internet Engineering Task Force to formally develop and promote Internet standards.

Nexar and Las Vegas tackle traffic with digital twins

... In the long run, creating a metaverse that improves traffic will require improved collaboration and data sharing across various parties, including consumers, cities, car companies, and mapping services. Today this is something of a barrier to progress. Nexar, Cisco, and University of Catalonia researchers have proposed one IETF standard to help cars share digital twin representations of road conditions, traffic, and falling debris.

Weakness Found in Wi-Fi Security Protocol

... The weakness detailed in the research paper written by IEEE and IETF committee member Robert Moskowitz means that Wi-Fi hardware products that ship with WPA might be less secure than the older Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP), which it replaced.

How the UK Plans to Tackle Scam Calls

... For example, Ofcom documented in its ICO-Ofcom joint action plan that the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) created a new technical standard to support CLI authentication, so that valid numbers can be identified and marked from the beginning of a call and passed along the ‘call chain’ to the recipient.

Meet Gurdeep Pall, Microsoft Executive and COSM 2021 Speaker

... Pall was part of the Windows NT development team, working on the first version of Windows NT 3.1 in 1993 as a software design engineer, all the way through Windows XP in 2001 as general manager of Windows Networking. During his work on Windows, he led design and implementation of core networking technologies such as PPP, TCP/IP, UPnP, VPNs, routing and Wi-Fi, and parts of the operating system. Pall co-authored the first VPN protocol in the industry – Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) – which received the prestigious Innovation of the Year award from PC Magazine in 1996. He also authored several documents and standards in the networking area in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards body in the mid-1990s.

More devices connected as manufacturers move to internet-based IoT protocols

People sometimes talk about the Internet of Things (IoT) as if it simply means the networking of digital devices, but that type of machine-to-machine communication has been in factories for a long time. However, industry is increasingly moving to internet-based IoT protocols, making it easier and cheaper to connect different sensors and devices.

Under the hood with .NET 6

... Changing network stacks: One of the more important changes in .NET’s networking is support for HTTP/3 and the QUIC protocol. This will improve support for secure HTTP connections, with built-in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to avoid connection blocking. It makes it easier for connections to roam between wired, wireless, and cellular, as QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection) is independent of the underlying connection address. That makes roaming a lot easier, as long transactions like downloads can continue operating even if the underlying connection from device to internet changes.

Who's on top? The US-European struggle for internet leadership

The new, U.S./EU Trade & Technology Council’s (TTC) first meeting in Pittsburgh in late September highlighted the differences between Europe and the United States on how governments should approach the internet. Broadly, the U.S. and Europe have offered different perspectives over the rules of the road for the internet for decades, and — combined with the Chinese-Russian highly nationalist model — offer three alternate pathways for the future of the internet.

The Narrative: How not to reform Internet governance by Milton Mueller

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has issued a report “The Open Internet on the Brink: Recommendations for a Future Model.” The report claims to attempt to advance liberal values. And its diagnosis of Internet problems is in line with those values. “Restrictions on internet freedoms are increasing globally, governments are competing to assert their authority and a decades-long governance system of voluntary, technical bodies is now creaking.” (So now we know why we hear that odd “creaking” sound emanating from Marina del Rey. They must be referring to the Operational Design Phase of the EPDP.) The report recognizes that geopolitical competition “may lock in fragmentation,” and asserts that restrictive governance models are gaining ground. All quite accurate.

Africa internet riches plundered, contested by China broker

Outsiders have long profited from Africa’s riches of gold, diamonds, and even people. Digital resources have proven no different. Millions of internet addresses assigned to Africa have been waylaid, some fraudulently, including through insider machinations linked to a former top employee of the nonprofit that assigns the continent’s addresses. Instead of serving Africa’s internet development, many have benefited spammers and scammers, while others satiate Chinese appetites for pornography and gambling.
