The IETF Operations and Routing Areas will hold a two-day joint interim meeting in late January or early February to discuss networking challenges encountered in data centers. A doodle poll has been posted at http://www.doodle.com/hiu9xgw7tg7pkrwg in order to gauge interest and identify a convenient date. While a venue has not yet been chosen, the IETF is considering sites in the eastern part of the United States and Canada. An attendance fee may be charged to cover meeting costs. Those requesting time on the agenda are asked to submit Internet Drafts in the following areas: - New services offered through data centers - Networking requirements for the data center - Network architectures for the data center - Scaling, resiliency, security issues in the data center networks Internet Drafts considered by this meeting will specify motivation, requirements and constraints for data center networking solutions to be developed by the IETF. Presentations regarding solutions will be entertained only if that discussion helps to describe the problem space and time permits a balanced discussion of candidate technologies. All drafts presented at this meeting will be announced and discussed on the IETF Data Center Mailing List (dc@ietf.org). Those submitting drafts are asked to announce them to the mailing list upon submission. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
