27 June 2022 / protocol-standards
To what extent is the technical development of the Internet driven by a small clique of standards developers? What influence do those developers have? And what control do large technology companies have on the development of the technical standards that define the operation of the Internet?
We attempted to answer these questions in a paper that Prashant Khare recently presented at the International Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM).
In that paper, we studied more than 2 million email messages, sent by almost 45 thousand participants in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), over a twenty year period. The IETF is one of the leading technical standards development organisations relating to the Internet, and these discussions record the development of key Internet standards – including the latest versions of the web protocols, security standards, and widely used telephony, video conferencing, and video streaming platforms – to understand the social interactions and dynamics of the standards-setting process.

The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop 2022 (ANRW’22), co-located with IETF-114, is the seventh edition of an academic workshop that provides a forum for researchers, vendors, network operators, and the Internet standards community to present and discuss emerging results in applied networking research.
