Feature Topic on "Recent Advances in IETF Standards"

==================================================================

The mission of the Internet engineering Task Force (IETF) is to
"make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant
technical documents that influence the way people design, use,
and manage the Internet". This is a continuous process driving and
driven by the rapid evolution of the Internet. Protocols and other
technical standards developed by the IETF are fundamental building
blocks of the networked society.

This feature topic will give an overview of recent achievements in
creating standards that soon will have an impact on design, use
and management of the Internet. We welcome tutorial style papers
that describe new IETF standards as well as research papers
presenting results that had an impact on the standardization
process or that investigate the expected impact of recent
standards.

All submissions should be written to be understandable and
appealing to a general audience.
