REMOTE - Everything you always wanted to know about the Internet (but were afraid to ask) - Defining Network Protocol standards

About

ABSTRACT:

You think you know how the internet works, but do you really understand the complexity of today's pervasive internet or do you think of it simply as a scaled up version of the Arpanet just after TCP/IP was introduced? If you aren't sure what an ASN is or what MPLS does then these lectures are for you. Although our speakers will cover how the internet was born—and touch on the role that institutes such as CERN played in its development—the focus will be on the technologies, both hardware and software, that enable interconnect billions of devices and move exabytes of data. Even if you do know what an ASN is and understand MPLS, you're be bound to learn something as these experts explain the rules and standards that regulate these technologies and how they are created and agreed.

BIO:

Colin Perkins is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow and the current chair of the Internet Research Task Force. His research interests are on network transport protocols, with a particular focus on protocols for real-time and interactive multimedia on the Internet, and on improving the way we design, implement, specify, and standardise network protocols. He's a long-time participant in IETF, where he helped develop technical standards for the multimedia transport and signalling protocol standards that underpin modern video conferencing platforms. He co-chairs the IETF's Real-time Media Congestion Avoidance Techniques working group, and previously co-chaired the Audio/Video Transport and Multiparty Multimedia Session Control working groups. .
