    The IETF 126 Vienna meeting takes place 18–24 July 2026. As at every IETF meeting, alongside the established Working Groups there will be a handful of Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions—and these are often the most interesting place to watch where Internet standards work is heading next.

    Martine Sophie Lenders has been regularly participating in the IETF for over a decade, starting with the IETF 93 meeting in Prague in 2015. She has authored several Internet-Drafts—two of which recently were published as RFCs—and at the same time works on a PhD at FU Berlin and as a research associate at TU Dresden.

Encryption and Network Management

24 Sep 2015

MaRNEW is a joint workshop between the IAB and the GSMA, and the focus will be on managing networks, particularly mobile ones, under the assumption that much of Internet traffic is or will be encrypted.

Joe Hildebrand at MaRNEW Workshop

The Managing Radio Networks in an Encrypted World (MaRNEW) workshop is starting today. This is a joint workshop between the IAB and the GSMA, and the focus will be on managing networks, particularly mobile ones, under the assumption that much of Internet traffic is or will be encrypted. This complicates a number of network management operations, such as traffic prioritisation. What can be done to ensure that these important operations can be done as efficiently as possible?

I am excited to wait for the discussions and new ideas coming out of this workshop. The workshop chairs Natasha Rooney and Joe Hildebrand will be writing a blog article after the workshop to report their initial impressions, and later on the IAB will be publishing official transcripts and reports.
