Internet Research Task Force (IRTF)
by Jon Postel <postel@isi.edu>
The research groups of the IRTF are oriented towards longer term
Internet research issues. The research groups tend to be small (that
is, about 10 to 20 people), and to have consistent membership. The
results of the research groups tend to be experiments in new protocol
ideas, new applications, and new approaches. Any results of reserach
groups that are appropriate for widespread use in the Internet are
submitted to the normal IETF standards process. Many of the
participants in the research groups are also active in the computer
science research community and there is a healthy interaction between
the work in the research groups and work in other venues (such as ACM
SIGCOMM).
The IRTF is composed of the following research groups:
Research Group Name Chair

Autonomous Networks Deborah Estrin (USC)
End-to-End Services Bob Braden (ISI)

chairs and the following at large members:
