A total of 70 nominations were received for the
Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) 2026. Each nomination was
reviewed by several members of the
selection committee
according to a diverse set of criteria, including scientific merit,
relevance to
IETF
and/or IRTF activities, and the potential of the
nominee to have impact in the community.

About the ANRP
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded to recognise
the best recent results in applied networking, interesting new
research ideas of potential relevance to the Internet standards
community, and upcoming people that are likely to have an impact on
Internet standards and technologies, with a particular focus on cases
where these people or ideas would not otherwise get much exposure or
be able to participate in the discussion.
We encourage nominations of researchers with relevant research results,
interesting ideas, and new perspectives. The award will offer them
the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers,
network operators, policy makers, and scientists that participate in
the Internet Engineering Task Force (
IETF
) and its research arm, the
Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Both self- and third-party
nominations for this prize are encouraged.
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of:
a cash prize of $1000 (USD)
an invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting
a travel grant to attend a week-long
IETF meeting
(airfare, hotel, registration, stipend)
recognition at the
IETF
plenary
an invitation to related social activities
In addition, prize winners may be offered additional travel grants to
attend future
IETF
and/or IRTF meetings. Such grants are made at the
discretion of the award committee, based on community feedback,
engagement with the community, and potential future impact.
Applied Networking Research Prize awards are made once per calendar
year with a nomination deadline in late November. Each year, several
winners will be chosen and invited to present their work at one of
the three
IETF meetings
during the following year.
How to Nominate
Nominations are for a
single
author of an original, peer-reviewed, journal, conference or workshop
paper that was recently published or accepted for publication.
The nominee
must
be one of the main authors of the nominated paper. Both
self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper) and third-party
nominations (nominating someone else’s paper, with their permission) are encouraged.
The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for
possible future engineering work in the
IETF
, or research and
experimentation in the IRTF. It should analyze the behavior of
Internet protocols in operational deployments or realistic testbeds,
make an important contribution to the understanding of Internet
scalability, performance, reliability, security or capability, or
otherwise be of relevance to ongoing or future
IETF
or IRTF
activities.
Nominations
must
briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to these goals.
They should describe how involving the nominee in the
IETF
and IRTF
process, and bringing them to an
IETF meeting
, would help to foster
the transition of the results and/or ideas into new
IETF
engineering
work or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities that
will have an impact on the real-world Internet.
The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster
the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for
the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the
nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend
at least one of the
IETF meetings
in the following year.
Nominations are submitted via the
submission site
and must include:
the name and email address of the nominee;
a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated
paper;
a PDF copy of the nominated paper;
a statement that describes how the
nominated paper
fulfills the goals of the award and how the
nominee
would engage with the
IETF
and/or IRTF community;
a statement of the nominees availability to present
their work at the
IETF meetings
in the award year;
a statement that the nominee accepts that the IRTF
Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules
will apply to their award talk at the IRTF open meeting;
a brief biography for the nominee; and
optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web
site, etc.)
All nominees will be notified by email about the decision regarding their nomination.
Papers nominated for the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) are
not
considered to be contributions to the
IETF
or IRTF. However, the
invited talks about those papers given at the IRTF Open Meeting
are
considered to be contributions and
the IRTF Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules
apply.
Nominees should note that their award talk will be streamed live
online and recorded. The recording will be made availably online
after the meeting along with a record of the award.
Sponsors
The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is supported by the
Internet Society
in coordination with the Internet Research Task
Force (IRTF).
