Dear IPv6 Forum Members,
Call for participation and presentations for "The Global IPv6 Summit in Japan"
<<Abstract>>
The Global IPv6 Summit, under the organization of the IPv6 Forum, is held regularly around the world to accelerate the deployment of IPv6. We are happy to announce that this conference will be held in Japan, one of the leading countries in the areas of IPv6 development and deployment.
The Internet is built on the foundations of the Internet Protocol (IP). The current version of IP is named IPv4 after its version number. The total number of devices that IPv4 can identify is limited to about 4.3 billion. It's hard to see the Internet becoming the foundation of a true, universal communications infrastructure when this number is compared to the human population.
In fact, it is expected that the entire address space of IPv4 will be exhausted by around 2008. So, address assignment/allocation is currently being carried out under a very restrictive policy. NAT (Network Address Translator) was introduced as a temporary solution, resulting in the loss of some of the original functionality of the Internet.
The principles of the Internet are end-to-end and bidirectional communication. This means every node can communicate with every other freely without any restrictions caused by intermediate nodes. Since NAT broke these principles, it became difficult for unexpected novel applications to appear in the current environment of the Internet.
To resolve the exhaustion of IP addresses, extending its address space is a straightforward solution. IPv6, the next generation of IP, provides a huge number of IP addresses and makes NAT obsolete allowing the Internet to recover its original principles.
IPv6 is a paradigm recovery for applications. After deploying IPv6 and recovering end-to-end/bidirectional communication, we cannot imagine what kind of applications will appear.
This conference will introduce the current deployment status of IPv6 throughout the world. Also, panel discussions are planned, both on "How IPv6 will Change Business" and on "Case Studies: Making the Change to IPv6".
Getting Internet people together, including those who are involved in IPv6 activities and IPv4 business and management, we intend to discuss the future of Internet business and the direction of engineering. This conference will be beneficial for everyone including, but not limited to, engineers, researchers, network managers and business people. We would like to invite each of you to participate.
