[sig-ipv6] Summary of IPv6 technical SIG in Fiji

[Kazu Yamamoto ($B;3K\OBI'(B ) <kazu@iijlab.net>]

Hello all,

On behalf of the IPv6 SIG chairs, we would like to tell you summary of
IPv6 technical SIG on 1 Sep 2004 in Fiji.

We had no action items.

We had seven informational presentations from six people:

1) IPv6 allocation status report
   George Kuo, APNIC

   This is a periodical report from APNIC which covers DB
   registration, routing tables as well as IPv6 allocations. One /28
   and thirty nine /32 has already allocated by APNIC this year. This
   sounds good.

2) IPv6 /48 assignment status report
   Toshiyuki Hosaka, JPNIC

   He pointed out that there are only 8,035 /48 registrations in APNIC
   whois DB. He thinks that there should be more entries. He asked to
   register your assignments.

3) Guidelines for ISPs on IPv6 assignment to customers
   Jordi Palet, Consulintel

   He pointed out that multiple /32 prefixes are not convenient for
   ISPs and the bigger the better from the routing point of view. Note
   that Fujisaki-san proposed to relax the old initial allocation
   policy in Policy SIG

4) An update on operational recommendations for IPv6 for TLD and other servers
   Bill Manning, USC/ISI

   He explained operational issues of TLD. An interesting one, we
   felt, was the "one name, two machines" approach.

5) IPv6 .kr DNS deployment in Korea
   Billy MH Cheon, KRNIC

   He explained the current status of IPv6 .kr DNS deployment in
   Korea. Korean people introduced a new DNS server called "g.dns.kr"
   for IPv6 transport.

6) Update on multihoming solutions from IETF
   Geoff Huston, APNIC

   He first explained functional goals of IPv6 multihoming.
   There are several approaches to achieve the goals. An interesting
   one is to create an ID layer between IP and transport.

7) Deployment plans behind larger IPv6 allocations
   Jordi Palet, Consulintel

   He reported that big commercial companies started to obtain a big
   IPv6 prefix. For example, Vodafone has /31, TeliaSonera has /20!
   He interviewed to such companies and summarized their plans.
