PILC, very roughly, is
how can existing Internet be tuned for specific link layers
what link layer requirements does the Internet need,
and how to provide them
RUTS, very roughly, is
what transport protocols, other than TCP, might be useful
is it better to augment TCP, or have separate transports
WREC is completely different, much more at the app layer, and being
done out of the transport area mostly to keep it coordinated with its
transport underpinnings, not because it's a transport issue, per se:
what are the common bases of web caching and replication protocols
These are my own views on the matter; see the IETF WG web pages for more info,
as below:
PILC: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98dec/43rd-ietf-98dec-140.html
RUTS: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98dec/43rd-ietf-98dec-142.html
WREC: http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98dec/43rd-ietf-98dec-43.html
or the current "WG" proposed charter page:
