The mission of the IETF is to make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet. Some would say that the IETF looks after the architecture / structure of the Internet: *The ART Area develops application protocols and architectures in the IETF. *The Internet Area is responsible for specifying how IP will run over new link layer protocols.
