Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an open organization that develops and promotes voluntary standards for the internet. Comprising engineers, developers, and researchers from around the world, it focuses on designing and improving internet protocols and technologies to ensure the internet remains functional and interoperable. IETF works through working groups and publishes documents called Requests for Comments (RFCs), which outline new ideas and technical specifications. Its collaborative approach helps shape the future of the internet, addressing challenges like security, performance, and scalability.
