The IAOC has published the IETF Meeting Network Requirements ION at http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/ions/ The purpose of the document is to assist IETF meeting Hosts and technical teams with the network requirements in support of the week-long IETF meetings. Editors were Karen O'Donoghue, Jim Martin, Chris Elliott, and Joel Jaeggli whose hard won experience with designing and deploying these networks will serve others well. Future Hosts may choose to build the network themselves or the IETF, through the Internet Society, can contract with a vendor or vendors to provide the network infrastructure and connectivity, and the Host makes a contribution to the Internet Society, a 501(c)3 organization. More information about this can be found at http://iaoc.ietf.org/host_sponsor.html . We are looking for Hosts for March 2009 and are currently evaluating venues on the east and west coast of the US. Interested parties should get in touch with Drew Dvorshak at dvorshak@isoc.org.
