 Basic Scheme

Activities Update since the last meeting
Conducting Interviews with the participants
after allocation
 Some notable points
Considerations

Program Overview (1/2)
Objectives
 Revitalizing the historically allocated addressspace Providing the challenge field for IPv6 ageBoosting up development of the “end-to-end”
application
 Exploring new services and business Transferring trial to IPv6 infrastructure with thepractical application and service
 Forming IPv6 address administration scheme in JPProgram Overview (2/2)
“Time-Limited” Use
Mandate transition to IPv6 by the end of2005
 Allocation must be returned by then
 Basic policy presented by Dr. Esaki of WIDE
Project at the 11th APNIC Open Policy
MeetingActivities UpdatesConducting interviews individually withthe following kinds of participants:Broadband “Always-On” connection service
 Large VoIP/ADSL service
 Public Space “Hot Spot”(wireless) services
 Contents Delivery service (contents with IP)Summary of voices:

Merit of this program

Very good for new start-up

Can introduce a Fixed-IP service quickly in wideareainternal routing table

Can introduce new network applications suchas contents delivery service and VoIP, etc.

->“always-on” P2P application boomed
among users right after starting the service

For New Services:
Broadband provider:Great increase of needs on “fixed” IP /29 per connection


Looking ahead of providing /48 or /64 of IPv6

No limitation of use of “always-on” line
Some ISPs regulate user’s server setup or ports
 whois may be important for user-side servers
Great increase of P2P usage in packet-wise
About half of total loads for Napstar-type use Increase of query for on-line gamesFor New Services:
Broadband provider: Load monitoring:

Red: HTTP
Yellow:Napstar

For New Services:(cont.) Broadband provider:
The current hurdles:
Cannot start the trial with the current judgment


Need to pool at least /20 per PoP to give /29 perconnection because of difficult demand estimation inrural area

Slow-start policy
Given block by block in small size prevent theaggregation of internal routing table Small ISP is hard to make subsequent request at thebeginningFor New Services:
Wireless Provider trial (Hot Spot):Hot-spot service covering streets
150 stations in the city
 Wireless IP-Phone (dialing IP address number) Wireless TV-Phone (navigation for handicapped) Anycast service (location depended information)
Mobile IP with AAA
 More than 250 users
For New Services:(cont.) Wireless:
Lots of addresses for Home Agent andCare-of addresses are necessary Able to assign enough number of care-ofaddresses at the stations: needs of poolingHard to estimate how many at each station
People gathering at one place for event
 Roaming service from TokyoThe current setting is 13 per station. But it is
not enough for popular places

Pool address is not unutilized address!

For New Services:
Contents Delivery Service (CDS):
 New type of service
Contents with global IP address fordelivery management
 Can start the CDS trial with this program

Hard justification under the current IPv4 policy

There is no concept of IP assignment to the contents.

Maybe resolved with IPv6 /48 block at each ISP,
but cannot wait till IPv6 era is comingConsiderations:This program accelerates introductionof new IP services

Especially for “Broadband”, “Always-on”,“P2P applications” services

Experience on this program is valid forreviewing IPv6 address policyNear Futures:
Challenge for new realistic services on homeand office appliances, sensor devices andindustrial equipment, etc. will be continued
 We need future enhancement on IPv6address policy to accommodate those newservices->So, we continue this program for public
feedback againThank you,and We will update you next time as well.
