This note is based on a talk given by the first author at the conference Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles 2025. We consider the intermediate long wave equation (ILW), modeling the internal wave propagation of the interface in a stratified fluid of finite depth, connecting the deep-water regime (= the BO regime) and the shallow-water regime (= the KdV regime). Exploiting the complete integrability of ILW, we provide a detailed description of its polynomial conservation laws, construct t
