ICNP 2025 : International Conference on Network Protocols
The IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP), is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2025, organized by KAIST and Seoul National University, will be held in Seoul, South Korea, on September 22-25, 2025.
Scope
The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research contributions to network protocol research. Both experimental studies and formal investigations are equally welcome. Topics traditionally of interest include, but are not limited to:
Applying AI/ML to improve networks
Network protocols for improving AI/ML
Blockchain, distributed systems, network aspects of reliable systems
Data center and cloud networking
Host networking
Next-generation network architectures
IoT networks
Measurement, monitoring, and troubleshooting
Network management
Network virtualization
Programmable networks
Quantum networking
Routing and load balancing
Security and privacy, applied cryptography for supporting network functions
Software-defined networking
Testing and verification
Theoretical aspects, analysis, network algorithms
Transport and congestion control
Wide-area networks
Wireless networks, including cellular, satellite, and sensor networks
Authors who are unsure whether or not their submissions might fit the scope of the conference are welcome to contact the Program Committee Co-Chairs.
