(IRTF) The IRTF is chartered by the Internet Architecture
Board to consider long-term Internet issues from a
theoretical point of view. It has Research Groups, similar to
Internet Engineering Task Force Working Groups, which are
each tasked to discuss different research topics. Multi-cast
audio/video conferencing and privacy enhanced mail are
samples of IRTF output.
