Why Standards? • Standards have played key role in many/most industries • Industry demand standards compliance from vendors • Ensure interoperability, avoid lock-in • Vendors work together to define standards • Establish credibility for products • Ensure interoperability with partners and competitors 3
Traditional Standards Process Standards formed over several years Standards formed over period of years Become Products and interoperable services built over next few on these years standards 4

Open Source Transforming Networking • Fuel industry transformation • Engage a vast community • Innovate at rapid pace • Result in de facto standard 9
Complexity of Open Source • Some assembly required • Poor documentation • Moving target • Projects fade away • Fragments 10
Combine Open Source with Standards • Bring speed and collaborative spirit of open source to standards • Validate correctness and completeness of evolving specifications • Add support for key standards to open source projects • Speed adoption by providing usable code together with standards 1 + 1 = 3 11
IETF • Internet Engineering Task Force • Founded in 1986 • Goal – Make the Internet Work Better • Definition of Internet Drafts (I-Ds) and RFCs We reject kings, • Networking protocols, e.g. TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, TLS, VXLAN, GRE, YANG, NETCONF, presidents and voting. RESTCONF, … We believe in rough consensus and running code. - David Clark, Tao of the IETF 12
Challenges • Slow • Aging community • Too much time on rough consensus, not enough on running code • Overrun by pace of innovation • Code (potentially open source) as de-facto standard 13
IETF Hackathons • Advance pace and relevance of IETF standards • Flush out ideas, feed back into working groups • Attract developers, Participants 450 universities 406 400 • Team newcomers with veterans 342 336 350 321 • Reduce time to meaningful 300 268 242 contribution 250 220 199 200 164 • Free, open to everyone 143 150 124 119 101 100 70 • Collaborative 45 50 0 IETF 92 IETF 93 IETF 94 IETF 95 IETF 96 IETF 97 IETF 98 IETF 99 IETF 100 IETF 101 IETF 102 IETF 103 IETF 104 IETF 105 IETF 106 14
