ITU E-Strategies
  • Active support of 150 ITU Member States
  • Our Goal Foster the deployment of
    secure,cost-effective and sustainable IP-based
    infrastructure and value-added services in
    developing and least developed countries
    worldwide
  • Our Strategy
  • 1.  Put in place a comprehensive action plan
    that integrates the development of IP
    infrastructure with the roll-out of
    cost-effective, secure and high trust
    value-added e-services for government, business,
    commerce, educational and health sectors.
  • 2. Enable various public and private sector
    entities to participate in the development of
    the core infrastructure through the use of
    value-added e- services that are based on
    sustainable business models and create
    efficiencies in the various public and private
    sectors.
  • 3. Encourage the participation of various
    types of partners through a technology neutral
    and non-exclusive framework for contributions
    towards a global deployment.

Open-ended Consultation meeting on the
establishment of the UN Working Group on Internet
Governance (WGIG) 20 - 21 September 2004Palais
des Nations Geneva
  • Purpose of the meeting For all Stakeholders, to
    further exchange ideas on Internet governance
    before the formal startup of the WGIG (Working
    Group on Internet Governance). The first phase of
    WSIS admitted that many problems on Internet
    Governance still need to be studied and discussed
    and authorized Mr. K. Annan to set up a special
    working group (WGIG) to carry out studies and
    discussions on this issue. Its structure and
    working methods as well as scope of its work were
    discussed.

5
Key issues discussed The work done by ITU-T
on Internet issues and Telecommunications
Standards (E. 164, Security issues, ENUM Protocol
etc) Other UN Agencies presented also their
work Participants hope that each party would
follow the basic principles of the Declaration
of Principle and Plan of Action adopted in the
first phase of WSIS, to further carry on
cooperation and study on Internet Governance, to
seek common points while reserving differences,
to consider Internet Governance with a
perspective view, to reach consensus on Internet
governance and guide the Internet development to
meet its own trend and the common demand of the
world people.
6
As the WSIS process is Intergovernmental, the
majority of the participants hope that the
Working Group on Internet Governance will also
have the involvement of Governments, when other
participants are proposing that the
Intergovernmental Organization should be
considered as observers in the Working Group on
Internet Governance. The Change of the nature of
Internet demands the involvement of governments
into the Internet Governance Internet Development
itself calls for the transition of the governance
mode Inclusion and openness shall dominate the
process of defining Internet Governance and
determining related public policy issues on
Internet Governance (e.g. DNS, IP Addresses,
Internet information and network security such as
Spam, privacy and confidentiality, Security of
Domain Name System, E-Commerce, Convergence
between Internet and Telecommunication network
etc)
7
Internet law and Policy (Golden principles for
Internet Governance). The WGIG structure and its
working methods as well as scope of its work were
discussed. Financial resources to support the
WGIG Secretariat. The Swiss Government is
supporting the process but other donors are
encouraged to also support.
8

Resolution 102- DNS IP Addresses Management
The ITU Plenipotentiary Conference held in
Marrakech in 2002 has revised Resolution 102
originally adopted in Minneapolis (1998), which
instructs the Director of the Telecommunication
Development Bureau to organize international and
regional forums, in conjunction with appropriate
entities, for the period 2002-2006, to discuss
policy, operational and technical issues on the
Internet in general and the management of
Internet domain names and addresses in particular
for the benefit of Member States, especially for
least developed countries".
10
Address space exhaustion (1/3)
  • Rate and scale of Internet growth was
    underestimated
  • In 1970s, 32-bit address space was thought to be
    adequate for long term
  • Class system (A, B, C)
  • Internet routing is closely tied to the
    separation of routing within a network and
    routing between networks

11
Address space exhaustion (2/3)
  • Routing within large networks became complex
  • Sub-netting introduced
  • Advent of PCs meant that each host could no
    longer have a unique fixed IP address
  • dynamic address assignment (but reachability?)
  • private address spaces (but leakage if connected
    to public network)

12
Address space exhaustion (3/3)
  • Stability with respect to address allocation
  • Some believe IPv4 addresses will be exhausted in
    2-3 years, others in 10 years, others sooner,
    others much later (20 years).
  • Rate of exhaustion influenced by technology (e.g.
    NAT)
  • Under-use of certain class allocations

13
Relationship to topology (1/4)
14
Relationship to topology (2/4)
  • An IP address is not similar to a telephone
    number
  • An IP address is a routing address
  • In telephony termsa telephone number is more
    like a domain name

15
Relationship to topology (3/4)
  • But analogies are imperfect
  • Telephone numbers identify a circuit, a wire
    going somewhere, but are now portable
  • IP addresses identify a terminal device, a
    computer, but can be
  • dynamically assigned
  • fixed
  • translated (NATing)

16
Relationship to topology (4/4)
Back to the basics of Internet
  • Any host can access any other host through
    uniform protocols and addresses
  • Intelligence at the edges
  • Applications independent of network
  • Network does not change content

These differences are more important than the
packet vs. switched models
17
Alternatives to IPv6
  • Application servers at boundary of public
    network, translate to private network, but these
    gateways can limit functionality
  • NATing, VPNs, private spaces, but may force
    re-numbering
  • NATing limits peer-to-peer applications
  • IPsec requires end-to-end

18
Network Problems
Expanding address space raises certain issues
  • Routing table growth (IPv6 may help or hinder)
  • Blocks allocated to ISPs to optimize routing
    limit portability across ISPs
  • Security may or may not be improved

19
Space allocation policies
  • If IPv6 policies are conservative, this may slow
    the adoption of IPv6
  • If IPv6 policies are loose, this may lead to
    routing table problems and early exhaustion

20
Deployment difficulties
  • Dual stack v4 and v6 in devices
  • Tunnels encapsulate v4 in v6 or v6 in v4
  • Conversion gateways
  • Convert networks
  • from the edges
  • from the core
  • by islands, either geographic or by application
    (3G/4G)

21
Potential roadblocks and solutions
  • Cost of conversion
  • Lack of confidence in v6 software
  • Policies adoption

Consensus is that conversion is needed, but when
and how will depend on many factors
22
IMPACT OF NEW INTERNET PROTOCOL (IPv6)
  • USA - COMMERCE DEPARTMENT TO STUDY IMPACT OF NEW
    INTERNET PROTOCOL (Interagency Task Force to
    Focus on Competitiveness, Security and User
    Needs) October 14, 2003
  • The North American IPv6 Task Force (NAv6TF)
    (www.nav6tf.org)
  • IPv6 Forum
  • IPv6 Promotion council in Japan (www.v6pc.jp)
  • Etc

23
What future for mobile Internet ? IPv6?
Today, some industry experts say that before the
world can truly experience next generation
communications such as IMT2000 (3G-4G etc)
mobile services, it needs to adopt a new protocol
known as IPv6 (128 bits based address)
24
ITU World Telecommunication Standardisation
AssemblyFlorianópolis, Brazil 5-14 October 2004)
  •         Resolution 47 Country Code Top Level
    Domain Names (To study and to review Members
    States ccTLD experiences, to take appropriate
    steps within their National legal frameworks to
    ensure that issues related to delegation of
    country code top-level domains are resolved
    etc.)
  •      Resolution 48 (IDN-Internationalised
    Domain Dames)

25
  •         Resolution 49 on ENUM Current unresolved
    issues concerning administrative control of the
    highest level Internet domain which will be used
    for ENUM, Study how ITU could have administrative
    control over changes that could related to the
    International telecommunication resources
    (Including naming, numbering addressing, and
    routing) used for ENUM (in the context of rapid
    developments towards the convergence of
    Telecommunications and the Internet)
  •         Resolution 50 Cybersecurity
  •         Resolution 51 Combating spam
  •         Resolution 52 Countering spam by
    technical means

26
Conclusions
  • Best practices for DNS and IP addresses
    Management including IPv6 implementation
  • Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
  • Clear responsibilities (national/regional/internat
    ional)
  • Why to migrate (IPv4-IPv6), when to migrate and
    how to carry on this migration process are of
    high importance.
  • Is IPv6 one of the key issues related to the
    migration from circuit-switched telephony
    networks to packet-based or Next Generation
    Networks (NGN)?
  • Clear IPv6 and DNS policy
  • At what Costs
