The IAB Workshop on IP Address Geolocation (IP-GEO) was held from December 3-5, 2025, as a three-day virtual meeting. It covered the use cases and background on using IP addresses as indicators of geolocation, explored various problems and challenges that exist in that ecosystem, and discussed future directions and opportunities to improve or replace the current practices. |
| | Considerations For Maintaining Protocols Using Grease and Variability |
| |
|
Active use and maintenance of network protocols is an important way to ensure that protocols remain interoperable and extensible over time. Techniques such as intentionally exercising extension points with non-meaningful values (referred to as "grease") or adding variability to how protocol elements are used help generate this active use. Grease and variability are used across various protocols developed by the IETF. This document discusses considerations when designing and deploying grease and variability mechanisms, and provides advice for making them as effective as possible. |
