IFIP Networking 2017 took place in Stockholm at KTH, the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, from 12-17 June. The conference’s aim was “The future of networking: Defined by software, driven by data and designed for all” and consisted of workshops, regular lectures and poster sessions. As is our aim in the IFIP Technical Committee 6 (Communication Systems), the papers are published in our open Digital Library, http://dl.ifip.org. There is no printed version of the conference papers; the Digital Library serves as the conference record and papers were made available several days before the conference opening. Access is free to everyone.
