ISOC’s Hot Topics at IETF 101

Tomorrow begins IETF 101 in London, United Kingdom, and it’s the third time that an IETF has been held in the country. Following on the heels of our Rough Guide to IETF 101 where we go in-depth about specific topics of interest, the ISOC Internet Technology Team is again highlighting the latest IPv6, DNSSEC, Securing BGP, TLS and IoT related developments as the week progresses.

Below are the sessions that we’ll be following in the coming week. Note this post was written in advance so please check the official IETF 101 agenda for any updates, room changes, or final details.
