IPv6 Deployment in Japan 2002.10.28 Takashi Arano Intec NetCore, Inc. ICANN ASO Address Council Board member of the IPv6 Forum Co-chair, International Strategy Group of the IPv6 Promotion Council of Japan
Three Key Elements for IPv6 Deployment • Carriers/ISPs involvement • Government support • Business opportunities including new applications
Carriers/ISPs • Basic pieces are almost ready • Address allocations by APNIC/JPNIC • Commercial IPv6 Routers • Cisco, Juniper as foreign vendors • Hitachi, NEC, Fujitsu, Furukawa, Yamaha, etc. as domestic vendors • MS Windows SP1 works well • IIJ started commercial services in 2000 • NTT started charged services in April 2001 • Almost all nation-wide ISPs are providing trial services. • IPv6 over CATV/ADSL are now available by some ISPs. • But, customers are not many.
Government Support • Government role; not forcing people to use IPv6, but being a catalyst by helping people overcome transition problems. • Activities • Declaration in “e-Japan Initiatives” • Budgeting for IPv6 R&D; 8B Yen in 2001 • Tax incentive program • Government report about IPv6 transition • Positive effects • Increased people’s recognition • Encouraged collaboration among various industries
Business Opportunities and New Applications • Have not been fully developed yet. Many trials and experiments are going on, though. • User benefits?? • Huge amount of addresses extends the Internet. • From PC to non-PCs • From NAT network to more flat one without NAT • New applications over the OPEN IPv6 Internet
