Personal blog about various IETF and Internet related activities
In my previous post I summarize the ongoing activities regarding bufferbloat. Reading through the blog post you might have gotten interested to reproduce the results published in various papers, you might want to test your favorite networking gear, or you might just want to run some tests in your home network. It is easier than [...]
Wikipedia describes bufferbloat as “a phenomenon in a packet-switched computer network whereby excess buffering of packets inside the network causes high latency and jitter, as well as reducing the overall network throughput.

This was the first time [...]
Jari Arkko, Cullen Jennings, Carsten Bormann, myself and several other IETF folks organized two workshops on smart object related technology: the first workshop was attached to the Prague IETF meeting (March 2011), and the second workshop was attached to the Paris IETF meeting this spring. With both workshops we asked the wider IETF community for [...]
I have been working on IP-based emergency services for many years also. For a while it looked like the standardization activities would finally come to an end and the industry could deploy the stuff they had been working on in various SDOs. Of course I was naive to think that it would be that easy. [...]
