MEETING NETWORK AND TECHNOLOGY

We use a variety of technologies to support meetings which we recommend
participants are familiar with to get the most from the meetings.


MEETECHO PARTICIPATION TOOL

All meeting participants, both onsite and remote, need to use Meetecho in order
to participate in an IETF Meeting. This is used for:

 * Watching the in-room video, remote participant video and presentations (these
   are also displayed on screens in sessions)
 * Accessing session materials
 * Participating in the session group chat
 * Joining the queue to speak
 * Recoding your attendance in a session
 * Responding to a poll called by the chairs.

Meetecho is WebRTC based and runs in any browser. There is a separate cut-down
version that works on mobile browsers. The following guides are available:

 * Meetecho guide for chairs: Information and actions for chairs of sessions
   using Meetecho conferencing.
 * Meetecho guide for participants: Information and actions for participants to
   review in advance of joining and IETF meeting using Meetecho.
 * IETF Meetecho documentation: details about using Meetecho as a session chair
   or participant.


MEETING NETWORKS

The dedicated IETF Network Operations Center (NOC) team works with meeting
venues before and during each meeting and hackathon to engineer and deploy a
network free and unfiltered WiFi in every venue that it visits and the main
hotel, advertising a number of different SSIDs with different features. Please
see Meeting Network Information for full details.


MEETING ROOMS

WiFi (802.11 a/g/n/ac/ax) is provided throughout the meeting venue on 2.4 and
5GHz bands with IPv4 and IPv6. Most users should choose the 'ietf' SSID, using
the following authentication:

user: ietf
password: ietfietf

A dedicated ethernet cable is provided for the use of session chairs in each
IETF meeting room.


GUEST ROOMS AND PUBLIC SPACE WIFI

The IETF NOC team works with IETF meeting hotels to provide guest room access to
the IETF meeting network using the hotels' existing wifi networks via the
'ietf-hotel' SSID.


EXTERNAL CONNECTIVITY

IETF meeting networks have redundant, multi-gigabit connections provided by
sponsors for each meeting location. See the main meeting page for each meeting's
sponsor details.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND SUPPORT

Please see the IETF NOC website, updated just before each IETF meeting, for
detailed information about the meeting network.

During IETF meetings, report issues with the IETF meeting network by sending
email to: support@ietf.org


WEBEX CONFERENCING

For some interim meetings and side meetings, we use Webex. The following guides
are available:

 * Hosting a Webex Meeting (quick guide)
 * How to | Webex Meetings (videos)


ZULIP GROUP CHAT

The group chat inside Meetecho is Zulip, which is also available in dedicated
desktop or mobile clients.

The IETF Zulip server (zulip.ietf.org) authenticates you using your IETF
Datatracker credentials. Datatracker accounts can be created for free.

To send messages to, or view archives for, a particular stream, you must be
subscribed to the stream. You can browse streams by name, which typically match
the acronym for the IETF group to which it relates.

For general chat and nonspecific conversations, subscribe to the IETF Hallway
stream.

Please note that all group chat message on our server are subject to the Note
Well.


ONLINE GATHER COMMUNITY SPACE

The IETF has a persistent online meeting space and we encourage the IETF
Community to use this space to socialize or meet informally.

Please be advised that conversations in the IETF Gather are subject to the Note
Well.

 * IETF Gather Space
 * Password: notewell

The space is established on the Gather.Town collaboration platform, which uses
peer-to-peer WebRTC to share audio and video. Prior to joining Gather for the
first time, we strongly recommend you review Gather’s documentation. Please use
Chrome or Firefox as your browser (or download the Desktop app).

The persistent space can accommodate a handful of individuals at anyone time.
IETF groups interested in using the space for a planned event with more
participants should contact the IETF Secretariat at least a week in advance.


NEED HELP?

If you need any help with meeting technology then please send an email to
support@ietf.org.
