End-to-End
Mailing list
The end2end-interest list is for discussion of research and
design issues that are broadly related to the end-to-end aspects
of computer networking protocols and architecture, and in
particular the consequences of the end-to-end principle underlying
TCP/IP.
The E2E list represents a vital resource to
the Internet research community, and USC/ISI's Postel Center is
pleased to provide this service to the Internet community.

Posting policies
Posts to this list are expected to be on-topic and to follow general behavior for appropriate use of public forum.
Appropriate topics for this list focus on discussion of research and
design issues that are broadly related to the end-to-end aspects
of computer networking protocols and architecture, and in
particular the consequences of the end-to-end principle underlying
TCP/IP.
Appropriate use is defined as professional conduct. This includes avoiding posts that include attacks of a personal nature (ad hominems), publicly offensive material, or deliberate misrepresentations. This list is not to be used to advocate candidacy for any office, whether a declared candidate or not.
Postings may be held or automatically discarded because of one of a number of reasons:
- sender must be a list subscriber (from the address posted from)
- message too big
- message includes attachments
- message uses this list as an implicit destination (bcc, cc)
- message includes too many recipients
- violation of list posting policies
This list is not to be used for job announcements, and only
a very few Call-for-Paper announcements are appropriate here. Posts such posts are expected to:
- have a primary focus on E2E issues
- focus on research discussion
- be open to all participants (space permitting)
If you wish to send a CFP or any other sort of administrative
announcement to this list, please check first with the list owner and manager, Joe Touch
(touch@postel.org). Otherwise,
don't.
Additionally, for CFPs approved for posting, at most
ONE call for contributions and ONE call for participation
are permitted per pre-approved meeting - this includes adjunct
workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, etc.
(two separate calls for paper are permitted
where the first call for papers includes a call for proposals
for workshops, to allow a second call for papers for the workshops
themselves)
For more information on how this and other lists
at postel.org are run, please see our mailing
list FAQ.

Some history
The E2E list was created by Bob Braden, first chair of the IRTF E2E-RG in 1985, who managed it until 2001when it included 1,350 subscriber addresses, and, when it was transferred to the Postel Center under Joe Touch. Bob continued to coordinate requests for posting until 2006, when Joe Touch assumed that role on behalf of the IRTF RG. On Jan. 1, 2010, when the E2E RG concluded, the list was transferred to operate entirely by the Postel Center, at which time it contained 2,665 subscriber addresses.
NOTE: the archive was 'cleaned' of spam on Feb. 23, 2004.
The original archives back to Jan 21, 2001 are available as
a single gzip'd archive (click
here).
An interesting bit of trivia is that it was Jon Postel, our
Center's namesake, who sent the first message to this list on Feb.
