Speaking of Standards

As I wrote about previously, the IETF is hosting a “P2P Infrastructure Workshop” next week on May 28th on the MIT campus near Boston. There have been some updates in the past week:

• The workshop agenda has been published.

• The list of submitted papers is now available.

• Copies of the submitted papers are available for download as individual files or as a ZIP file containing all papers. (Note that this link does not work with all browsers. On my Mac it worked in Safari but not in Firefox 3.)

Reading through the agenda, it sounds like it will be a great session. P2P is really the next great area of network development, in my opinion, and making sure that the environment is such that we can do it well is key to seeing innovation and growth in that space. Anything like this workshop that can help set the stage for P2P developments is definitely to be encouraged.

P.S. I had hoped to attend myself, but given that I’ve got a moving truck showing up about 36 hours after this workshop ends (I’m moving from VT to NH) I somehow don’t see me getting down there.
