IETF is one of the #Internet Open Standards Organisation which mission is to develop, update, and maintain Internet and the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP)# technologies. It consists of several working groups (WGs) that is responsible for developing IETF specifications and guidelines. RFC documents will be produced by the organisation that describes Protocol, processes, and technologies for the Internet.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
OSPF is a #Layer 3 #classless #Link-State Routing Protocol developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)# where its metric is an arbitrary value called cost (defined by RFC 2328). In Cisco, the cost calculated using bandwidth. It is secure, scalable and provides fast Convergence#. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6. The implementation of OSPF varies from vendor to vendor.

Internet Architecture Board (IAB)
IAB is one of the #Internet Open Standards Organisations which is accountable for overall management and development of the Internet standards, including the oversight of the protocols’ and procedures’ architecture adopted by the Internet. 13 board members will have voting power on the organisation decision-making. It is the technical advisory group for the #Internet Society (ISOC), and oversees the functioning of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)# and Internet Research Task Force (IRTF)#.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
CIDR is an effective method of IP Address# allocation especially for IPv4 Address developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) which utilises the prefix or the subnet mask. There is no default subnet mask for a network, instead it relies on Variable-Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)#. That being said, for CIDR to be deployed, the network must be contiguous, that is having the same network mask (the prefix must be larger than the default mask).
