Entangling quantum networks build on new physical mechanisms to distribute quantum entanglement among a set of nodes over a set of links. To design a complete network protocol stack with proper division of responsibilities into layers, hardware and protocol engineers must share an understanding of those physical mechanisms and use a common vocabulary. This document bridges the abstract concepts described in [RFC9340] and the underlying physics to engineering concerns such as timing constraints on arrival of photons and exchange of supporting classical messages. The equations presented here will serve as reference points for architectural decisions in future documents, allowing future documents to deal directly in code without complex mathematics. Application-layer developers will not need the low-level physics presented here.
And of course the mandatory discussion about physical meeting location (Indian people complaining about China visas). As usual, no solution works for everybody.
The autumn meeting in the USA also raises a lot of concerns.
Do not forget there is an IETF online shop :-) https://store.ietf.org/
#IETF125 plenary: 809 onsite participants (largest IETF in Asia)
The country with the most participants is... China.
Call for volunteers for the Moderator Team (RFC 9945).
[And then the network failed and we lost the remote presenter.]
To explore the #RPKI database: https://rpkiviews.org/
"RPKI is a distributed database and therefore has all the challenges of distributed databases"
"Every second, two new RPKI objects come into existence" "Every 24 hours, 33 % of the database changed" Total size is 1 Gbyte.
