The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a global community developing technical standards for the Internet, focusing on making it function better. They create documents like protocol standards through the Requests for Comments (RFC) series. Notably, they have made significant contributions to Internet protocols, such as IPv4 and IPv6. The IETF also provides guidance on transitioning to IPv6, ensuring compatibility between IPv4 and IPv6 systems. Additionally, the IETF addresses topics like Internet routing, Domain Name System, cryptography, security, and privacy within Internet protocols.
