The Internet Engineering Task Force is the task force of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) that is responsible for solving the short-term engineering needs of the Internet. The IETF consists of numerous working groups, each focused on a particular problem. Internet standards are typically developed or reviewed by individual working groups before they can become standards.

InfiniBand is the next generation switch fabric architecture that enables increased network bandwidth (10Gbps), redundant connectivity support, shared resources, lower CPU utilization, and use of industry standard (vs. proprietary) components. InfiniBand technology can be used to connect servers with remote storage, networking devices, and other servers. It can also be used inside servers for inter-processor communication (IPC) in clusters. www.infinibandta.org
