====================================================================== DRAFT ====================================================================== APAN Singapore Meeting Tech WG meeting, 09:30--12:30, Oct 20, 1997 1. Cache SWG 1.1 S.Goto showed the presentation material which Mr Nabeshima provided for this meeting. - Charter Make a hierarchical WWW cache in Asia Pacific region and contribute the effort of building a world wide cache hierarchy. Develop an effective hierarchical cache operation. - Milestone Jan 98: Start operation cache servers on APAN exchange points and make a caching hierarchies in Asia Pacific region. June 98: Issue a report about the effectiveness of cache hierarchy. Jan 90: Release a cache hierarchy auto-configuration tool. Jan 00: Release mechanisms for adaptive hierarchy cache server. - Root Servers Seoul Root Server (DEC Alpha Server 4100, 1GB mem, 20GB disk) (Digital Unix + Squid) Tokyo Root Servers (PC * 5, four servers and one for log-file analysis) (development -- hash based clustered cache access) 1.2 Discussion - It seems meaningful to consider SG Root Cache. - A joint meeting with NLANR will be held on Dec 11, 1997. - The next Cache workshop will be held in UK. If APAN will invite the meeting in 1999, we should propose it at the coming meeting in UK. - APAN Cache SWG and AI3 group would work together for AI3 members to make use of Tokyo, Seoul, (SG) root servers. ======== 2. 6bone (IPv6) 2.1 Prof. Akira Kato (U Tokyo, Japan) presented the following material. - 6bone SWG: Charter is not yet defined. Goals are promote IPv6 development, get operational experience and feed back to the protocol. - WIDE IPv6 WG: Several IPv6 Implementations Hydrangea distribution, runs on BSD/OS, FreeBSD v6d, user-space implementation, almost machine independent Commercial implementations, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC and Toshiba - WIDE 6bone (1) Operational since July 96 5f09:c400::/24 (AS2500), Tunnels to G6/Digital/Bay/Cisco Tunnels over WIDE IPv4 Cloud, Native 64kbps stolen from T1 One of "Backbone Site" - WIDE 6bone (2) pTLA assigned, 3ffe:0500::/24, assignable to APAN as well ATM development, Natural extension to RFC1483 Operational over WIDE ATM cloud Connection is planned with APAN 6bone - Other activities: Singapore, NUS got 3ffe:1600::/24, own implementation Korea, ??? - Implementations: WIDE, APAN, SG, KR, and AIII - Milestones: Tunnel (over current cloud, SG-JP: up by end of Nov 97) Native ATM (a few months after APAN operational, encoding?) - 6bone SWG: Mailing list 6bone@apan.net (about ten members) URLs http://www.6bone.net, http://www.v6.wide.ad.jp 2.2 Discussion - The current name "6bone" may confuse people even if APAN will join 6bone. APAN SWG is called "IPv6" instead of 6bone. - IPv6 (6bone) SWG has a meeting plan: IPv6: Get together on 1997.12.9 during IETF in D.C. ======== 3. Mbone 3.1 Mr Masahiko Fujinaga has circulated a sheet of paper which Mr Hotta provided. - Objective: To provide an infrastructure of multicast application for APAN members. - Scope: Design of the APAN multicast backbone. Coordination of the multicast routing protocols. Implementation and operation will be a joint effort of Mbone SWG and APAN NOC's. - Schedule APAN operation will start with : DVMRP tunnel over IPv4 APAN within 6 months : PIM support - Future Plan ATM multicast with Multicast Address Resolution Server (MARS) Policy based Inter-Domain Multicast Routing Protocols, e.g. M-BGP Multicast over IPv6 - Status Designing configuration of mrouted at the SEOUL/TYO XPs. (Oct 97) - Issues to be resolved Where to connect the workstation which hosts mrouted. IPv4 routing at the XPs to let the MBone traffic go through the assigned PVC only. Identification of the tunnel end points. 3.2 Discussion - Prof. Kilnam Chon strongly emphasized the importance of face-to-face SWG meetings. - Mbone SWG has a meeting plan: MBone: On 1997.12.10, 16:00-18:00 during IETF in D.C. CCIRN WG Meeting on 1997.12.12 during IETF in D.C. - AIII has an important role to feed mbone traffic to APAN member networks. The backbone link of WIDE is fat enough to transfer mbone traffic without noticable quality degradation between mrouteds at APAN Tokyo XP and AIII Nara. - SG XP will have a direct link to the US. MBone traffic between Singapore and the US should go through this link. Mrouted at TYO XP will establish tunnels to Korea and to the US, and it will forward MBone traffic between Korea and the US. ======== 4. Measurement 4.1 Mr Kitamura, the new chairman of Measurement SWG, explained the following. - Charter Measuring the network performance - end-to-end Development and research of the measurement issues QoS and performance guarantee for each application and user Collaboration with CAIDA/NLANR - Milestone till March, 98, - OC3mon for XPs and several sites - CflowD - OC3mon KDD will build up OC3mon with a PC, an ATM PCI card, and a fiber splitter. contact person at MCI 4.2 Discussion - link-to-link the carrier's matter hopefully, data will be available from KDD, not under the control of APAN, of course - other tools should be used, too. - DS3mon is under construction at SingaREN. - Action Items depending on the network design(SWG) ad hoc meeting will be held at the end of October - with KT and others at Washington DC, the meeting should be held. (December 9th?) the joint meeting with NLANR CCIRN meeting(measurement) ======== 5. RSVP (RSVP/RTP/QoS) 5.1 Mr Kitamura, the old chair, describes the following material. - Charter Design the real time backbone Development and installation Cooperation with other real time backbones - Milestone till March, 98, Installation of rsvpd (FreeBSD, BSD/OS and IRIX 6.2 or greater) till June, 98, Mbone multicasting over RSVP - Current Status KR R-Bone is up JP (removed, not authorized by WIDE) 5.2 Discussion - SG is ready for joining this experiment. - cooperation with MBone SWG and Network Design SWG - Action Items Meeting at Washington D.C. Mr Kitamura will step down form the chair. Mr Kitamura should coordinate the next SWG meeting. ======== 6. Security 6.1 Dr Tashiro (chair, Security SWG) explained the following material. - Roles: Consultation / Assistance: Promotion and distribution of security tools Liaison with existing security groups (CERT, APCERT, etc...) - Promotion of research cooperation Intrusion detection Information usage control - copyright protection, information filtering Web security & privacy (Java, cookie,... ) - We should do : make up security consulting team establish Web site for security tools make up clearing house of new idea / research topics about security issues share the newest technology establish research cooperation 6.2 Discussion - No meeting until the next APAN Committee Meeting. ======== 7. Network Design The SWG chair, Mr Masahiko Fujinaga, circulated a sheet of paper which explains followings. - Objective The objective of the Network Design SWG is to keep the APAN network design documents up-to-date. - Scope This SWG is responsible for editing / compiling the APAN network design documents that will be made open to APAN members through the APAN web pages. The actual design decision will be made by other SWGs (IPv6, cache etc.) and the APAN Technology WG. The APAN Technology WG has the final decision responsibility. - Schedule 97.3Q Revise the APAN Network Design Memo up to version 0.6 which will be consistent with the NSF proposal. - Status: APAN Network Design Memo version0.5 is available at http://apan.imnet.ad.jp/ - To-do list Definitely, APAN Network Desing Memo version 1.0 should be written. ========
