WIDE-KT Workshop Report

On 16th June 2008, WIDE and KT (Korea Telecom) had a workshop to introduce research topics and seek for the possibility of any collaborative activities
between these two organizations at KT Research Laboratory, Seoul, Korea.
In the workshop, we had a presentation introducing the activity of Nautilus6Working Group.
During the presentation we introduced the following activities we had past.
• SHISA [1] project activity.
Mobile IPv6 [2] and NEMO [3] Basic Support protocol stack for BSD
operating systems.
• NEPL [4] activity.
NEMO Basic Support protocol stack developed based on the UMIP (Mobile IPv6 stack for Linux operating system developed by the USAGI
project [5]).
• TARZAN project [6].
Fast Mobile IPv6 protocol stack for FreeBSD 5 operating system.
• LIES: the Inter Layer Information Exchange System [7].
The abstraction layer between the layer 2 and 3 to exchange handoverrelated infomration.
• Nautilus6 home agent public operation service [8, 9].
The public home agent service operated by the Nautilus6 WG from late
2006.
• HAiku: Web based home agent operation support application [10].
1• Homeguy: Live CD system for instant introduction of Mobile IPv6 client
stack [11].
• Mobile IPv6 software packaging and distribution [12].
The Linux software packages (including both kernel and user space programs) that add a mobility function to existing user’s system.
• The WIDE camp experiments report using NEMO BS to provide fault
tolerancy and smooth handoff [13, 14].
The report about the WIDE camp network configurations that used amobile route operating NEMO BS.
• Global HAHA experiment at Interop Tokyo 2008 [15].
A prototype implementation of the Global HAHA mechanism was tested
as a part of the ShowNet network at Interop Tokyo 2008 [16]. Section 4summarizes this activity.

3IPSJ Seminar Report

We had a chance to summarize our activities and report them at the seminar
held by Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ). The seminar was one ofthe series of seminars coordinated by IPSJ every year. This year’s theme of theseminar was Evolution of the Internet, supported by the WIDE project. Ourpresentation was made as a third round in the series, held on 19th September
2008, the title of the third seminar was Mobile and Wireless. The detailed
program of the seminar can be checked at the IPSJ web page1 (in Japaneseonly). In this presentation, the similar topics listed in section 2 were introduced.

Contribution to the Global HAHA Experiment

In the Interop Tokyo 2008 [16] exhibition, a trial operation of the Global HAHA
mechanism was performed. We contributed the preparation and operation ofthe experiment.
In the experiment, two home agents were located in the ShowNet network,
which is the showcase network of Interop Tokyo. To route all the packet sent
to home addresses of mobile nodes, the same home network routing information was advertised from two different home network locations to the ShowNet.
Figure 1 shows the overview of the topology.
There were 6 NetBSD SHISA based mobile nodes (operated natively), andseveral Linux MIPL based mobile nodes (operated in virtual machines).
The detailed report about this experiment was written in [15].

5Dual-Stack Mobile IPv6 Implementation forLinuxThe DSMIP implementation work has seen great advancement this year with afirst code release on May 30th . This release allowed us to request public comments and feedback about the implementation, and a new release is scheduledfor the end of this year based on patches received through the newly setup
mailing list.
A detailed description of this implementation was presented at Mobiarch
workshop of SIGCOMM 2008 [17] in August 2008.

6Maintainance Activity

Though there have been few or no new developments on the MIPv6, NEMO
BS, MCoA implementations, the maintainance effort has been continued thisyear. In particular, the mailing-list “support@ml.nautilus6.org” has had continuous activity – around 250 messages posted in 2008 so far – showing theinterest of people in the WG’s implementations. There have also been several
contributions from outside, in the form of patches submitted to the mailinglist. A new mailing-list “dsmip@ml.nautilus6.org” has been created to support
the experimental DSMIP code released this year, and this list also had decentactivity.

7Summary

The Nautilus6 WG is in a closing phase now. The main activity of this year
was to summarize all the past activities and to report the output publicly, and3

software/service maintainance, although some new actions, such as working on
Global HAHA, DSMIP development exist.
