A loosely-organized group that creates recommended protocols for the architecture and protocols of the Internet. For more information visit, http://www.ietf.org/.

(IETF) The IETF is responsible for solving short-term engineering needs of the Internet. It has over 40 Working Groups.

An international, voluntary body consisting of network designers, engineers, researchers, vendors, and other interested individuals who work together to address and resolve technical and operational problems on the Internet and develop Internet standards and protocols. The IETF, which was formed by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), meets three times a year, however the bulk of the collaboration and work takes place on the various mailing lists maintained by its participants.(See http://www.ietf.org/)

One of the committees that steers new engineering developments for the Internet. Such developments include the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and the next version(s) of the Internet Protocol, IPNG or IPv6.

Edit / See: IETF

A body responsible for, among other things, developing standards used in the Internet. Or a cooperative consortium that standardizes internet protocols, naming and other communications issues.

A standards organization for TCP/IP networking. The IETF developed ClassicalIP Over ATM.

The entity responsible for defining Internet protocols such as TCP/IP. A loose, collegial organization mainly of technical people. IPC

(IETF): a large open international organization that develops and sets standards for the Internet. The organization is comprised of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.

an international group of network designers, operators and researchers involved in the evolution of Internet architecture.

A large international community of volunteers, comprising of network designers, engineers, researchers, designers, vendors, and other interested individuals, concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. The IETF aims to resolve technical issues on the Internet and develop common Internet standards and protocols. The majority of the work is undertaken via various topic-specific mailing lists maintained by participants. Website: www.ietf.org

A public forum that develops standards and resolves operational issues for the Internet.

An open community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. Technical work is performed by working groups organized by topic areas (such as routing, transport, and security) and through mailing lists. Internet standards are developed in IETF Requests for Comments (RFCs), which are a series of notes that discuss many aspects of computing and computer communication, focusing on networking protocols, programs, and concepts.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org) is an independent standards body that determines Internet standards. The process involves vendors and other interested organisations or individuals submitting proposals, which are then approved or combined with other proposals to make up new standards for general use. HTTP, for example, is an IETF standard.

(IETF) An open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual.

A consortium that introduces procedures for new technology on the Internet. IETF specifications are released in Requests for Comments.

Technical organization that establishes and maintains Internet protocol standards.

The principal body engaged in the development of new Internet standard specifications. It is an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.

Internet standards setting organization, abbreviated as IETF.

The group that oversees the technical standards on which the Internet is based. The all-volunteer IETF is heaven for computer geeks. The technical decisions the IETF makes affect how the Internet functions, how fast it operates, and how well it will endure in the future.

Task force consisting of over 80 working groups responsible for developing Internet standards.

A large, open international community of network designers, operators, vendors and researchers concerned with the evolution of Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. The task force is open to any interested individual.

The IETF is a large, open community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers whose purpose is to coordinate the operation, management and evolution of the Internet, and to resolve short-range and mid-range protocol and architectural issues. It is a major source of proposals for protocol standards that are submitted to the lAB for final approval. The IETF meets three times a year and extensive minutes are included in the IETF Proceedings. See also Internet; Internet Architecture Board.

IETF) - A standards organization whose charter is to design protocols for use in the Internet. Its publications are called Request for Comments (RFCs).

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is one of the organizations that oversees Internet protocol engineering, development, and standardization. The IETF is an international committee of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers who are concerned with the evolution of Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes Internet standards, in particular those of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is an open, all-volunteer standards organization, with no formal membership or membership requirements.

IETF is the standards-setting body of the Internet.

An organization that provides coordination of standards and specifications development for TCP/IP networking.

The main standards organization for the Internet. The IETF is an open, international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers who coordinate the operation, management, and evolution of the Internet. They also resolve short- and mid-range protocol and architectural issues and are a major source of proposals for protocol standards.
