educational challenges to improving IETF diversity and inclusiveness

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In their latest diversity and inclusiveness draft, the authors have identified some challenges in getting newcomers better able to participate in the IETF, such as knowledge of mature IETF protocols, and the ability to assess protocols critically.  They recommended two textbooks that can help here.  I have two more suggestions, and am interested in other resources that could be useful in this regard.

Principles of Computer System Design: An Introduction (Saltzer, Kaashoek)
Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (Peterson, Davie)

In addition to communications protocols, both books cover principles of security and some of the analytic techniques used to assess network performance.  Several chapters from the first textbook, and all of the second textbook, are online.  Also, Saltzer has been an influence on many key IETF contributors, historically.

If you feel there is a better list for this discussion (such as the diversity list, which has been inactive for over three years), please provide your suggestions.

Regards, Greg
