Research Services

Promoting research of importance to the evolution of the Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology.

About us

The IRTF focuses on longer term research issues related to the Internet while the parallel organization, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), focuses on the shorter term issues of engineering and standards making. The IRTF is a composed of a number of focused and long-term Research Groups. These groups work on topics related to Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology. Research Groups are expected to have the stable long term membership needed to promote the development of research collaboration and teamwork in exploring research issues. Participation is by individual contributors, rather than by representatives of organizations. The IRTF is managed by the IRTF Chair in consultation with the Internet Research Steering Group (IRSG). The IRSG membership includes the IRTF Chair, the chairs of the various Research Groups and other individuals (“members at large”) from the research community selected by the IRTF Chair.

    We're pleased to announce that the winners of the 2024 Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) are Sawsan El Zahr, Dongqi Han, Harjasleen Malvai, Yevheniya Nosyk, Mingshi Wu, and Xieyang Xu. The ANRP is awarded to recognise the best recent results in applied networking, interesting new research ideas of potential relevance to the Internet standards community, and upcoming people that are likely to have an impact on Internet standards and technologies, with a particular focus on cases where these people or ideas would not otherwise get much exposure or be able to participate in the discussion. Congratulations to all the awardees! Look out for their award talks and presentations in the IRTF Open Meetings, co-located with the IETF meeting during 2024. More details and links to the award-winning papers at https://www.irtf.org/anrp/

  • Nominations for the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) 2024 are now being accepted. Information and details of how to nominate can be found at https://www.irtf.org/anrp The ANRP is awarded to recognise the best recent results in applied networking, interesting new research ideas of potential relevance to the Internet standards community, and upcoming people that are likely to have an impact on Internet standards and technologies, with a particular focus on cases where these people or ideas would not otherwise get much exposure or be able to participate in the discussion. We encourage nominations of researchers with relevant research results, interesting ideas, and new perspectives. The award provides a cash prize and will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers, and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Both self- and third-party nominations for this prize are encouraged. More information at https://www.irtf.org/anrp
