TRANSCRIPT
What WEIRD Does
• Look for inter-Area relationships among working groups and BOFs
• Write articles describing these relationships using rich media
• Publish these articles as web pages
WEIRD Does Not Author I-Ds or RFCs, Except To Archive Our Work
WEIRD Wireless Article http://home.earthlink.net/~serotonin/HotTopicWireless.htm
• U.S. Federal Networking Council resolution, October 24 1995, defines the Internet in terms of:– Globally unique address space– Support for TCP/IP communications– Enabling of high level services
• Systems that don’t do this are not “the Internet”
• “Wireless Internet” is just that part of the Internet that sends data over wireless links
IETF Wireless Activities
• Currently 100+ IETF Working Groups
• At least 60 of these are doing work that matters to parties working on “wireless internet”
• IETF should expect increasing wireless community activity in these WGs

Thoughts...
• Long and valuable history of “pre-internet” wireless engineering of applications solving problems like mobility, scale, location, real-time transport
• Don’t balkanize wireless - integrate wireless issues into existing working groups for transparency
• A few new working groups will be necessary - PILC and ROHP are good examples
Some (More or Less) Unique Challenges of
Wireless• Bandwidth scarcity• No wires = your data
everywhere• Unpredictable and
frequent data link intermittency
• Mobility + Security + QoS All At Once
• Government Regulation
• High Latency• Hosts with limited
battery, CPU, memory, user interface
• Charging Model• Legacy Architectural
and Policy Boundaries• Huge / rapidly growing
user base and legacy applications
