Internet Engineering Task Force

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an organization that develops and promotes standards for the internet. It consists of engineers and technologists who work together to ensure that the internet functions smoothly and securely. The IETF creates guidelines for protocols that govern how data is transmitted across the internet, such as email, web browsing, and file sharing. Their work is crucial for maintaining compatibility and efficiency among diverse devices and applications. The IETF operates through open meetings and mailing lists, welcoming contributions from anyone interested in improving the internet.
