Internet Week 2014 was an annual technical conference hosted by Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC), supported by a huge list of entities in the Japanese Internet community, including (but not limited to):
- IPv6 Promotion Council (v6pc)
- Internet Society Japan Chapter (ISOC-JP)
- Japan Computer Emegency Response Team/Coordination Center (JPCERT / CC)
- National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)
- The Japan Internet Providers Association (JAIPA)
- Japan DNS Operators Group (DNSOPS.JP)
- Japan Network Operators’ Group (JANOG)
- NPO Japan Network Security Association (JNSA)
ION Conferences bring network engineers and leading industry experts together to discuss emerging technologies including IPv6, DNSSEC, and Securing BGP, and TLS for Applications. Early adopters provide valuable insight into their own deployment experiences and bring participants up to speed on new standards emerging from the IETF.
ION lets network operators stay ahead of the curve to understand and deploy emerging Internet technologies, and presents a unique opportunity to discuss the future of the Internet with the people who help craft it. More than a simple lecture series, ION events provide hands-on interaction with our speakers so you walk away with the answers you need to deploy new standards and technologies on your own networks.
Events bring together the best and brightest from the Internet industry to learn about the latest news, ideas, and technologies in a relaxed and educational atmosphere.
Agenda and Presentations
| TIME | SCHEMA |
| 9:30 AM | Opening Remarks Chris Grundemann (Internet Society) Presentation | Video |
| 9:45 AM | Keynote: Can We Go Back to the Original? A Return to the End-to-End Principle The Internet has been evolving. One of the major reasons IPv6 should be deployed now is to restore the end-to-end principle of the Internet. However, as the Internet has changed dramatically in the last decade, returning to its original form is very difficult. In this presentation, I will discuss what is happening today and how we can best sustain and improve the Internet. Dr. Shin Miyakawa (NTT Communications) Presentation | Video |
| 10:30 AM | The Business Case for Implementing DNSSEC DNSSEC helps prevent attackers from subverting and modifying DNS messages and sending users to wrong (and potentially malicious) sites. So what needs to be done for DNSSEC to be deployed on a large scale? We’ll discuss the business reasons for, and financial implications of, deploying DNSSEC, from staying ahead of the technological curve, to staying ahead of your competition, to keeping your customers satisfied and secure on the Internet. We’ll also examine some of the challenges operators have faced and the opportunities to address those challenges and move deployment forward. Dan York (Internet Society) Presentation | Video |
| 11:00 AM | Best Current Operational Practices Update The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardizes the protocols and services that vendors implement and network operators are supposed to deploy and use. We believe there is an opportunity to better identify, capture, and promote best current operational practices emerging from various regional network operators’ groups. We believe sharing these documents across the globe would benefit the wider Internet community and help more operators deploy new technologies like IPv6 and DNSSEC faster and easier. Deploy360’s Chris Grundemann will give an update on this progress, discuss the status of BCOP efforts across the world, and give an overview of some of the documents in the process so far. Chris Grundemann (Internet Society) Presentation | Video |
| 11:15 AM | Panel Discussion – IPv6 in Asia Pacific: Untangling the Web IPv6 has been available from the Regional Internet Registries for over 15 years. How do different types of organizations formulate their plans to deploy IPv6, and what’s taking so long? Will reliance on Carrier Grade NATs (CGNs) affect the development and accessibility of the Internet in Asia Pacific? Panelists will discuss IPv6 vs. CGNs: issues, problems and solutions. The discussion will also encompass panelists’ experiences deploying IPv6 in Asia Pacific; the technical, organizational, and political challenges they face, and the current status of their deployments. Moderator: Tomohiro Fujisaki (Internet Society Japan). Panelists: Miwa Fujii (APNIC); Toshio Hiraga (Sony Global Solutions, Inc.); Kaname Nishizuka; Akihiro Tsuru (KDDI Corporation).
