Why Standards? • Standards have played key role many/most industries • Industry demand standards compliance from vendors • Ensure interoperability, avoid lock-in • Vendors work together defining standards • Establish credibility for products • Ensure interoperability with partners and competitors Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Why Open Source? • Industry demands open source story from vendors • Open source contributions bring credibility and seat at table w/ customers • Open source based defense • Use standards to drive demand for your products and solutions • Support for standards in open source projects protects leadership position • Open source based offense • Use open source offering to commoditize position of competitor • Change playing field to align with your strengths Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Power of Open Source Software • Fuel industry transformation • Leverage a vast community • Innovate at rapid pace • Result in de facto standard Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 5

Complexity of Open Source • Some assembly required • Poor documentation • Projects fade away • Fragments Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 6

Combine Standards with Open Source • Bring speed and collaborative spirit to open source to standards • Add support for key standards to open source projects • Use open source projects in reference implementations • Hackathons, interop events Photo credit: dreamstime. com Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

IETF • Internet Engineering Task Force • Founded in 1986 • Goal – Make the Internet Work Better • Definition of Internet Drafts (I-Ds) and RFCs • Networking protocols, e. g. TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, TLS, YANG, NETCONF, RESTCONF, VXLAN, GRE, … We reject kings, presidents and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code. - David Clark, Tao of the IETF Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 10

Challenges • Slow • Aging community • Too much time on rough consensus, not enough on running code • Overrun by pace of innovation • Code (potentially open source) as de-facto standard Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 11

IETF Hackathons • Advance pace and relevance of IETF standards • Flush out ideas, feed into working group • Produce reference implementations, libraries 300 Participants per Meeting Hackathon 250 200 • Attract developers, young people 150 • Team newcomers with IETF veterans • University engagement • Collaborative event, any competition is friendly 100 50 0 IETF IETF IETF 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 Combining Open Source with Open Standards © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
