Speakers at conferences are not compensated. They register like everyone else - that has been ACM, IEEE, IFiP, and OSA policy - I know because in some cases, I *wrote* the policy. Students are typically required to register at the full rate if they present. In the majority of cases, even the chairs pay their own way or at best are comp’d registration.
It actually varies. I have been comped where I was asked to give an Invited Talk.
That said, the IETF is very different from an academic conference, and i think it would clearly be impractical for the IETF to comp registration for everyone who presented.

Speakers at trade shows are paid, as are some (but not all) keynotes and tutorial presenters. The latter often get only honoraria and a comp’d reg, not enough for travel/lodging in most cases.
The only people who get a fully free ride that I know of are the IEEE Comsoc Board.
