IETF meetings very quickly became fairly sizeable. From the meeting list I
linked to earlier:

  1st IETF	21 Attendees	January, 1986; San Diego
  2nd IETF	21 Attendees	April, 1986; Aberdeen
  3rd IETF	18 Attendees	July, 1986; Ann Arbor
  4th IETF	35 Attendees	October, 1986; Menlo Park
  5th IETF	35 Attendees	February, 1987; Moffett Field
  6th IETF	88 Attendees	April, 1987; Boston
  7th IETF	101 Attendees	July, 1987; McLean
  8th IETF	56 Attendees	November, 1987; Boulder
  9th IETF	82 Attendees	March, 1988; San Diego
  10th IETF	112 Attendees	June, 1988; Annapolis
  11th IETF	114 Attendees	October, 1988; Ann Arbor
  12th IETF	120 Attendees	January, 1989; Austin
  13th IETF	114 Attendees	April, 1989; Cocoa Beach

With the timeframe that Brian deduced for the gateway/router change - between
June 1988 and June 1989 - the initial growth had pretty clearly taken off.

(The 7th, in McLean, was almost certainly the one where I remember Phill, Dan
Lynch and I sitting in a bar at the end of the day chanting 'It's time to get
real'; no doubt it being the first one with more than 100 attendees
contributedto that thinking.)
