April was a busy month for industry events, and the main focus for this episode was Jeff Pulver's vCon event, held in Hyannis, MA. Chris spoke at the event, with the main takeaway being that vCon is a “watch this space” initiative, especially for using AI to derive new value from conversations, including unstructured data. With vCon being early stage, the focus was mainly on laying the groundwork to make this an IETF standard, and proof of concept interop testing. Chris explained how this was a different conference experience, with the participants trying to set the foundation for vCon before it gets on the radar of the hyperscalers. Following this, Jon added his thoughts on other recent events, namely 8x8's analyst event, speaking at the Cloud Communications Alliance event, and Vector Institute's Remarkable conference in Toronto.
Strolid's vCon Revolution: Bringing Automotive Insight to the Future of Digital Conversations HYANNISPORT, MA - “We thought we were listening to the customer—until we actually did,” said Thomas McCarthy-Howe, CTO, Strolid. The first-ever vCon Conference wrapped up in Cape Cod with a surprising yet visionary host: Strolid, a company known for advancing the automotive sales process. But as CTO Thomas McCarthy-Howe explained, Strolid's role in the conference reflects something much deeper — a transformational shift in how businesses truly hear and act on the voice of the customer. “Once you're able to actually capture the conversations in this format,” McCarthy-Howe said, “you always hear all the things your customers say — all the time.” Why vCon, and Why Now? Strolid specializes in helping automotive dealerships convert leads into in-person visits, operating at the front lines of high-stakes customer interaction. Yet their interest in vCon — a standardized container format for digital conversations — has taken the company beyond automotive and into the heart of digital transformation. “At first, we thought we were collecting feedback,” said McCarthy-Howe. “But we were getting an estimate, a filtered sliver. With vCons, we realized we had been missing most of what customers were actually saying.” Surfacing Operational Blind Spots Strolid's use of vCons revealed what McCarthy-Howe called “dark operational data.” In one example, he described how customers were often frustrated not because of poor service, but because they drove long distances to view cars that had already been sold — a disconnect caused by inaccurate online listings. “That kind of insight doesn't come from hold-time metrics,” he noted. “It comes from capturing and analyzing the full customer conversation.” Enabling Ethical, Scalable Customer Understanding In addition to insight, vCons offer a scalable way to ensure ethical data handling. “Because we can now see everything, it becomes even more urgent to manage consent, protect privacy, and respect customer data,” McCarthy-Howe said. The vCon standard, supported by the IETF working group and open-source ecosystem, enables organizations to share, analyze, and protect conversational data in a consistent, privacy-respecting manner. From Car Lots to Cross-Industry Change Although Strolid is rooted in the automotive world, the lessons apply broadly. “A dealership is just a proxy for any store,” McCarthy-Howe said. “There's a sales cycle, a customer journey, and a need for trust and transparency. We designed this not just for automotive, but for the market.” Learn More Company site: strolid.com Tech insights: strolid.ai vCon standard: ietf.org
Tech pioneer previews the world's first VCon-focused conference and the protocols reshaping AI, business conversations, and communications strategy ST. PETERSBURG, FL - At Cloud Connections 2025, Jeff Pulver, internet telephony pioneer and CEO of the newly launched vCon Foundation, joined Technology Reseller News to preview the first-ever VCon Conference, taking place April 22–24 in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Pulver described vCon—short for "virtualized conversation"—as a new file format standard, backed by the IETF, that captures and structures conversations across voice, chat, email, and messaging platforms. More than just a storage format, vCon is the key, he says, to unlocking insights, building memory into AI systems, and enabling truly intelligent, context-aware communications. “For anyone trying to manage unstructured data, better understand support calls, or just improve customer engagement—this is it,” Pulver said. “If you're asking yourself what you can actually do with AI in your business, the answer is two words: virtualized conversations.” The upcoming VCon event will focus on three core themes: Theory and Protocols – Understanding VCon and SCITT (Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust) Industry Activation – Product and service announcements from companies integrating the standard Interop Testing – The first public interoperability event for VCon-compatible platforms Pulver, who famously launched Free World Dialup and co-founded Vonage, emphasized the disruptive potential of this new standard: “We've never had a universal file format for conversations before. With VCon, any AI tool, from any vendor, can now understand and analyze that data.” He also announced a related initiative called TAFI (Trust Agent Framework for AI), which incorporates VCon for memory and SCITT for trust—a new model for AI transparency and reliability. Pulver, who now refers to himself as Chief Evangelist Officer of the vCon Foundation, promised attendees real value: “If you show up and don't learn something new, I'll refund your registration. That's how confident I am.” With rapid enterprise AI adoption underway, Pulver sees VCon as the missing link. “Conversations matter. Memory matters. And VCon brings them together.” Learn more and register: www.vonevolution.com/spring25-vcon

In this episode of PING, APNIC's Chief Scientist, Geoff Huston explores bgp "Zombies" which are routes which should have been removed, but are still there. They're the living dead of routes. How does this happen? Back in the early 2000s Gert Döring in the RIPE NCC region was collating a state of BGP for IPv6 report, and knew each of the 300 or so IPv6 announcements directly. He understood what should be seen, and what was not being routed. He discovered in this early stage of IPv6 that some routes he knew had been withdrawn in BGP still existed when he looked into the repositories of known routing state. This is some of the first evidence of a failure mode in BGP where withdrawal of information fails to propagate, and some number of BGP speakers do not learn a route has been taken down. They hang on to it. Because BGP is a protocol which only sends differences to the current routing state as and when they emerge (if you start afresh you get a LOT of differences, because it has to send everything from ground state of nothing. But after that, you're only told when new things come and old things go away) it can go a long time without saying anything about a particular route: if its stable and up, nothing to say, and if it was withdrawn, you don't have it, to tell people it's gone, once you passed that on. So if somehow in the middle of this conversation a BGP speaker misses something is gone, as long as it doesn't have to tell anyone it exists, nobody is going to know it missed the news. In more recent times, there has been a concern this may be caused by a problem in how BGP sits inside TCP messages and this has even led to an RFC in the IETF process to define a new way to close things out. Geoff isn't convinced this diagnosis is actually correct or that the remediation proposed is the right one. From a recent NANOG presentation Geoff has been thinking about the problem, and what to do. He has a simpler approach which may work better.

“When you start using vCons and actually listen to what your customers say, you realize you never really listened to them before.” – Thomas McCarthy-Howe, Co-Author of VCon and CEO of Strolid At IT Expo, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Thomas McCarthy-Howe, co-inventor of the vCon standard, to discuss how structured conversation data is revolutionizing industries—starting with automotive sales. McCarthy-Howe, alongside Dan Petrie, developed the vCon standard, now adopted by the IETF, to address a fundamental gap in digital communications: there was no standardized way to structure and analyze conversations. Initially developed to help Strolid, his outsourced sales firm, better understand customer interactions, vCon has since evolved into a critical tool for enhancing both customer (CX) and employee experience (EX). vCon's First Use Case: Automotive Sales In the high-stakes world of car sales, where Strolid processes over 9,000 daily inquiries and converts 5,000-6,000 into sales, conversation intelligence is a game-changer. By structuring and analyzing millions of calls, vCon enables dealerships to: Identify and resolve customer pain points, like inaccurate inventory listings Improve lead response times to meet manufacturer SLAs Uncover hidden operational inefficiencies affecting margins Reduce customer frustration, boosting dealership reputation and loyalty “In our industry, a customer might drive an hour to see a car—only to find it's not on the lot. That's a serious problem. With vCons, we capture these issues and fix them before they escalate,” McCarthy-Howe explained. Beyond Sales: The Future of vCon VCon isn't just about efficiency—it's about data integrity and security. As McCarthy-Howe emphasized, biometric data like voice and face recordings are highly sensitive, making secure, structured storage essential in the age of deepfakes and digital fraud.

"The conversation doesn't end when you hang up the phone. That's when it begins." – Jeff Pulver At the recent TMC event, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Jeff Pulver, a pioneering voice in the VoIP industry and now the driving force behind vCon. Their conversation, much like the technology it centered on, was a glimpse into the future of communication—one that redefines how we capture, analyze, and leverage conversations. 30 Years of VoIP: From VocalTech to vCon For Pulver, February 13th, 2025, marked a milestone—30 years since VocalTech introduced the first consumer VoIP application, a moment that proved voice could travel over the internet, not just phone lines. While voice-over-IP technology has been in development since 1969, Pulver sees 1995 as the true launch of the VoIP industry. Since then, the landscape has evolved in ways few could have predicted. Now, Pulver is championing vCon, an IETF standard that could revolutionize digital communication. "If you're familiar with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), then you'll appreciate that the same people behind SIP are bringing you vCon," he said. vCon is more than just a file format—it's a way to store, analyze, and extract value from conversations across voice, email, and text. A Game Changer for Businesses of All Sizes Until recently, only large enterprises could afford advanced AI-driven conversation analysis, using sentiment and metadata to gain insights. But vCon democratizes this capability, allowing small and medium-sized businesses—or even individuals—to capture and analyze conversations effortlessly. Pulver envisions a world where conversations are no longer lost but instead serve as valuable data points. "We've been letting metadata fall on the cutting room floor. Now, we can take conversations, apply AI, and gain insights without millions in R&D costs," he explained. The First-Ever vCon Interop Event To further the adoption of this groundbreaking standard, Pulver announced the first-ever vCon Interop event, set for April 22-24, 2025, in Cape Cod. The event will feature a workshop, hands-on application development, and an industry showcase where companies can test interoperability. Additionally, he is spearheading Vinevolution, an event in Bentonville, Arkansas, on April 9, focusing on the intersection of AI, telecom, and supply chain, as well as AI Com in New York City on April 4. The Future of Conversations Pulver, who coined the term Voice on the Net (VON) in 1995, sees vCon as a natural progression of his work. "We're living in a world where AI is pervasive, and communication is evolving again," he said. "This is more than just telecom—it's about transforming how we do business." With vCon, conversations become assets, not just fleeting moments. For those who want to be part of this next wave of innovation, the opportunity starts now. As Pulver put it, "If you're an early adopter, come join us." For more details, visit pulver.com or join the vCon Foundation at pulver.com/join. (This podcast summary was done by vCon)
Welcome back to PING, at the start of 2025. In this episode, Gautam Akiwate, (now with Apple, but at the time of recording with Stanford University) talks about the 2021 Advanced Network Research Prize winning paper, co-authored with Stefan Savage, Geoffrey Voelker and Kimberly Claffy which was titled "Risky BIZness: Risks Derived from Registrar Name Management". The paper explores a situation which emerged inside the supply chain behind DNS name delegation, in the use of an IETF protocol called Extensible Provisioning Protocol or EPP. EPP is implemented in XML over the SOAP mechanism, and is how registry-registrar communications take place, on behalf of a given domain name holder (the delegate) to record which DNS nameservers have the authority to publish the delegated zone. The problem doesn't lie in the DNS itself, but in the operational practices which emerged in some registrars, to remove dangling dependencies in the systems when domain names were de-registered. In effect they used an EPP feature to rename the dependency, so they could move on with selling the domain name to somebody else. The problem is that feature created valid names, which could themselves then be purchased. For some number of DNS consumers, those new valid nameservers would then be permitted to serve the domain, and enable attacks on the integrity of the DNS and the web. Gautam and his co-authors explored a very interesting quirk of the back end systems and in the process helped improve the security of the DNS and identified weaknesses in a long-standing "daily dump" process to provide audit and historical data.

In this episode of PING, Vanessa Fernandez and Kavya Bhat, two students from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) discuss the student led, multi-year project to deploy IPv6 at their campus. Kavya & Vanessa have just graduated, and are moving into their next stages of work and study in computer sciences and network engineering. Across 2023 and 2024 they were able to attend IETF118 and IETF119 and present on their project and it's experiences to the IPv6 working groups and off-Working Group meetings, in part funded by the APNIC ISIF Project and the APNIC Foundation. This multi-year project is supervised by the NITK Centre for Open-source Software and Hardware (COSH) and has outside review from Dhruv Dhody (ISOC) and Nalini Elkins (Inside Products inc). Former students have also acted as alumni and remain involved in the project as it progresses. We often focus on IPv6 deployment at scale in the telco sector, or experiences with small deployments in labs, but another side of the IPv6 experience is the large campus network, in scale equivalent to a significant factory or government department deployment but in this case undertaken by volunteer staff, with little or no prior experience of networking technology. Vanessa and Kavya talk about their time on the project, and what they got to present at IETF.

Listen in as Geoff Huston, Tom, and Russ discuss how the IETF, governments, and political movements interact when creating standards and guiding the future of the Internet.
In this episode of PING, APNIC's Chief Scientist Geoff Huston discusses the European Union's consideration of taking a role in the IETF, as itself. Network engineers, policy makers and scientists from all around the world have participated in IETF but this is the first time an entity like the EU has considered participation as itself in the process of standards development. What's lead to this outcome? What is driving the concern that the EU as a law setting and treaty body, an inter-governmental trade bloc needs to participate in the IETF process? Is this a mis-understanding of the nature of Internet Standards development or does it reflect a concern that standards are diverging from society's needs? Geoff wrote this up in a recent opinion piece on the APNIC Blog and the podcast is a conversation around the topic.

TADHack is the largest global hackathon focused on programmable communications since 2014. The event has helped tens of thousands of developers and innovators use programmable communications (UCaaS, CPaaS, CCaaS, AI, vCon, IVR, Telecom API, etc.) to solve real-world problems). TadHack will take place in the weekend before Enterprise Connect 2024, and the winners (there's a $3K prize) will be announced on Tuesday at a scheduled event at EC24, at the Gaylord in Orlando. The hackathon will take place at the nearby Valencia College West Campus, in person and online. In this special Cloud Communications Alliance and TR Podcast, Alan Quayle Founder TADHack, TADSummit and Thomas Howe, of Strolid, discuss why everyone should consider participating: “Innovation is not the sole domain of developers, everyone can innovate,” says Quayle. Thomas Howe, of Strolid, discusses their creation, vCon, being standardized by the IETF, a PDF for conversations. Strolid is a sponsor. They created. It's going to be important for all communications companies in our industry. What may be interesting for your audience is at TADHack we have 2 categories of entries: Showcases and Hacks. Explained here in the rules: https://tadhack.com/2024/hackathon-rules/. Hacks are what developers create. A Showcase could be an idea about how a UCaaS, CCaaS, Conferencing, or good old telco could use vCon. Strolid wants to see application ideas, and Showcases get free publicity at TADHack, and in the EC24 session. A showcase is simply a short video about the idea, with perhaps a couple of slides. We've had Showcase submitted since the first TADHack in 2014. Innovation is not the sole domain of developers, everyone can innovate. TADHack enables developers (hack) and innovators (showcase) to share ideas on using the TADHack sponsors' technologies (STROLID with vCon). A showcase is simply a short presentation of an idea about how you can use the sponsors' technologies in your business. Previous TADHack sponsors include: Cisco, RingCentral, Jambonz, Avaya, Telnyx, Subspace, Simwood, Sagoma, NTT, Flowtoute, Matrix, Tropo, Temasys, Ericsson, Vidyo, Telestax, Symbol.ai, Stacuity, Huawei, Oracle, Ubuntu, Google, Nexmo, and more. https://tadhack.com

Back in 2018, CDT's own, Mallory Knodel, teamed up with Niels ten Oever from the critical infrastructure lab at the University of Amsterdam to present a draft document at the internet standards governing body called the Internet Engineering Task Force, or IETF. This draft outlined a proposal that urged the community to officially reject the use of discriminatory and exclusive language in Internet Drafts and RFCs. As we persistently uncover and confront systemic racial inequality across society, it becomes equally vital to guarantee that the fundamental design comprising one of our most critical and democratic technologies– the internet– is devoid of any historically racist or prejudiced terms.

In this episode, Varun Singh, Chief Products and Technology Officer at Daily.co, speaks with host Nikhil Krishna about the 30-year evolution of web protocols. In particular, they explore the impact of protocol ossification, which has supported the Internet's success but also limits the flexibility of evolving protocol suites such as TCP/IP and UDP by constraining future development. Varun points out how the end-to-end principle emphasizes full flexibility for end hosts, but the TCP implementation in the OS kernel as well as in “middle boxes” such as ISPs contributes to the constraints of ossification by blocking certain types of traffic. Further, the development of new protocols is challenging due to the need for backward compatibility with existing protocols. They discuss Google's efforts – and the challenges it has faced – in working to move the HTTP protocol forward. The role of standards bodies such as the IETF and collaboration between industry stakeholders is crucial for the evolution of internet protocols, requiring a balance between maintaining backward compatibility and introducing new protocols such as QUIC and HTTP/3 to address existing constraints and improve internet performance and security. indeed, QUIC includes features that seek to actively avoid ossification and encourage evolution.
