3. IPv6 Promotion Council WG/SWG (1/2) • Strategic Specification/Technology SWG • Evaluation and analysis on DNS operation in Japan • Conclusion of KAME Project to forward to the next stage • Mobile, ubiquitous and beyond • (Innovative) Wireless technologies for IP networking • Certification SWG • IPv6 Ready Logo Program • SIP (both for IPv4 and IPv6) • Discussion with and contribution/responsibility to NGN people • SIP/VoIP Interoperability Task Force with JPNIC/WIDE • Global interoperability including commercial ISPes

4. IPv6 Promotion Council WG/SWG (2/2) • Application WG • Facility-Networking/Tele-Control SWG • Live E! Project • InternetCAR Project • Facility Networking Interoperability Consortium • Digital IP-TV multicasting Task Force • Shut down of analogue TV in 2011 • Real-life Usage SWG (including IPv6 over IPv4) • Others • Federal government net.; IPv6 ready in 2008 (or in 2007) • IPv6 Buildings; more than 15 as of today

5. Potential Application Areas of IPv6 • (Legacy) Network Service • NGN • FMC • Triple Play • Wireless • New Areas • Non Computer Devices • Sensor • Controller/Actuator • Embedded • Applications • Building System; Energy, Emergency, Security, IT • Facility

6. Legacy Network Services • ISPes; starts to realize the expiration IPv4 addresses e.g., FMC@KDDI; signaling=IPv6, transport=dual-stack • Residential Customer • IPv6 triggered by triple play, especially digital TV multicasting • NTT group has already provided IPv6-based VoIP and Streaming • NGN; all-IP solution and VoIP for PSTN service • WiMAX; serious technical evaluation for commercial operation • Corporate Customer • SOHO customer • Campus/Private networks • Corporate network • Start to enable IPv6 for new/future services • Challenging to the Hotel system, as IPv6-FIX project activity • Home network

7. Study on KDDI • KDDI technical officers love TDM service, and hate IP • Why adopt IP-based NGN solution ?  simply because discontinuation of TDM switch by NEC No-alternative, ….. They accept to use IP • KDDI does not care IP version • Why they pushed IPv6 for 3GPP(IMS)/3GPP2(MMD) ?  simply because their business is more than 10 years. No-alternative,…… They accept to use IPv6. • Then, they have consider network development • Signaling looks to be able to go with IPv6 • Transport still needs IPv4, at this time.

8. IPv6 products and Services Commercial IPv6 products available in the market - network camera, printer, router, IP phone, LSI, facility management system IPv6 Internet services - NTT Com.: OCN IPv6(remote control of appliances), OCN IPv6 Dual Ether Access - NTT East:FLET‘s.net(movies, music, TV phone, file exchange) - NTT West:FLET‘s Optical Premium (TV phones, movies) - Nifty:@nifty IPv6 Service - KDDI:IPv6 Native/Tunneling Service - IIJ: IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Service,IPv6 Native Service,IPv6 Tunneling Service Interoperability IPv6 Ready Logo Program derived from TAHI Project Approved 93 (Phase-1)/10 (Phase-2) applications for IPv6 Ready Logo to products of Japanese manufacturers, as of 28 November 2005 IPv6 Ready Logo

11. IP TV-Broadcast - Delivery of Broadcast Contents - We support delivery of broadcast contents which enable a number of user to receive the same contents data simultaneously. Enterprise of Real time TV program delivery Enterprise of Real time Radio program delivery Purchase Contents Folder Purchase Server Contents Folder Server Internet ISP IPv6 Multicast NW It provides throughout East Japan area ＳＴＢ ＳＴＢ ＳＴＢ ONU

12. (Digital) Video Delivery Service • Japan will shut down analogue TV broadcasting in 2011 • Cell-Phone can receive digital TV signal • High speed Internet can handle digital contents via terrestrial and via air Enabling IP (i.e.,IPv6) at digital TV system

13. IPv6 Deployment Example: IP-Phone • IP-Phone (FreeBit) • IP-phone solution based on shared IP Centrex • Has already installed 20,000 terminals to a dormitory operatorto manage their distributed facilities System Target 　- Reduction of initial and running cost 　- Provides the service such as PSTN quality 　- Easy Operation for diverse / distributed facilities (e.g. by dormitory operator) What IPv6 achieves 　・Simplifies Network design / re-design  fall into only three install manuals 　・Reduce the required human-resources and it’s cost 1. Installation 2. Mis-configuration (i.e., 300  single number) 3. Trouble shooting Ｉnternet Access line Access line IPv6 network IPv6 telephone IPv6 telephone

14. VoIP/SIP System Interoperability TFrun by JPNIC • The current problem in Japan • IP telephony service is becoming popular rapidly in anywhere like homes, enterprises and ISP networks, although there is less establishment of interoperability because IP telephony terminal vendors and IP telephony service providers tend to develop their products or services on their own way. • For success of IP telephony service • Basic interoperability not only among vendors but also between the venders and the providers will be necessary. • Current Activities • Major ISP and Terminal Vendor joined. • Interoperability Test has been done 4 times.(3 TE-ISP, 1 ISP-ISP) • Cooperate with VoiceCon, SIPit, etc. • Contract the MoU about cooperation with Multiservice Switching Forum (MSF, USA) in February 2005. • Will try to start the arrangement with Asian countries, e.g., Taiwan, about cooperation works.

15. 1. Establish interoperability among VoIP/SIP systemsSIP • Multi-vendor • Multi-Provider • 2. Establish environments for interoperability testing • Publish specification (conformance and interoperability) • Provide self-testing software • Operate testbed and test-event • 3. Collaboration with related organizations Campus net.

20. Live E! Project; www.live-e.org • Live E! is a project establish an network infrastructure that can generate, collect, transmit, process, and share digitized “Environmental Information”. • “Environmental Information” is generated and let available from anywhere on the global Internet by "Digital Weather Station“, or by any other sensor devices, such as IP camera, that are installed by individuals and by organizations. • “Digital Weather Station” generates the weather information with low cost and provides the information to any node on the global Internet • By the installation of larger number of “Digital Weather Station”, the environmental information can be richer and finer, i.e., connectivity (installation) is own rewards. • It has been recognized that the applications of Live E! project contents can be for education, public service and for business cases.

21. Live E! Project http://www.live-e.org/ Initiated “Live E!” project. - Install weather sensor units - Let information available for anyone - Targeting mile-mesh sensor network - Three application areas 1. Educational material 2. Public service 3. Business use • Live E! is a project establish an network infrastructure that can generate, collect, transmit, process, and share digitized “Environmental Information”. • “Environmental Information” is generated and let available from anywhere on the global Internet by "Digital Weather Station“, or by any other sensor devices, such as IP camera, that are installed by individuals and by organizations. • “Digital Weather Station” generates the weather information with low cost and provides the information to any node on the global Internet • By the installation of larger number of “Digital Weather Station”, the environmental information can be richer and finer, i.e., connectivity (installation) is own rewards. • It has been recognized that the applications of Live E! project contents can be for education, public service and for business cases.
