Registry system implementation for theefficient registry work

IPv6 transition planning, etc.

introduction of system

Consideration

Interview
Conducted 3rd interviewEnd of July – Aug 2003

Current members : no change at allBroadband “Always-On” connection service
 Large VoIP/ADSL service
 Contents Delivery service (contents with IP)
 Public Space wireless access serviceInterview ResultsTraffic on “always-on” fixed-IP service is still
increasing in up-streaming (user -> internet),
especially
P2P connection and large amount of data transfer
are becoming common among users in this trial
 About 40% of total traffic is P2PMembers start IPv6 trials
Wireless service uses 6to4
 Broadband services (ADSL, FTTH) uses tunnelover IPv4


Interview ResultsGoodness of this trial
Greater freedom and simplified in design thenetwork

Accommodate plenty of CoA space and plenty of HA
space in each access point on Wireless service
Able to provide quick ID issuing service

Accommodate block (multiple addresses) assignment tousers
Great ease of providing additional services such as IPphone and IPv6 transition
 Able to simulate IPv6-era operation

No need to have additional mechanism such as PPPoE

Interview ResultsSide effects of this trial
Great increase of attacks
Lack of knowledge about security protection atusers side increases the operational side ofsupport work
Port scanning, Messenger Advertise Open-relay, Virus transmission, etc.
 NOW, Blaster and MSBLAST!
Registry system

Objectives of the registry systemSimplifying the registry operation of addressmanagement work
Test-bed for a future IPv6 registry system

Basic functions involved:









Automated IP addresses assignment information
registration
Web-based subsequent allocation request form
Interlinked with WHOIS and DNS
Authentication of members for login
Sharing information between Members-IPv6PC
Inter-operable interface between MembersIPv6PC resource management system (TBD)

Reasons to build this system
Minimize the manual work for avoiding
human-errors


So far, everything is manual
only e-mail based application andcorrespondence MS-Excel based address management (^_^;;
 Manual changes in registration

Consideration
Global address service in large scale from the initialpoint gives ISPs a greater market with smaller
overhead

Experience of this trial make the participating ISPs
convince to adopt IPv6 serviceEase of introduce a new application such as P2P infoexchange, IP-Phone, etc.

Ease of designing the network with large space global IP
Security point of view

Both members and IPv6PC are happy with the webbased registry system for less manual operation inresult

Thank you,and We will update you next time as well.
