ION Tokyo, 17 November 2014, slides from Miwa Fujii given during the "IPv6 in Asia Pacific: Untangling the Web" panel.
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.

1. JPOPF (Japan Open Policy Forum) is an independent organization that develops IP and AS policies for the Japanese internet community. It is run by a volunteer steering team and aims to develop policies through neutral and inclusive discussion.
2. JPOPF holds biannual meetings called JPOPM (Open Policy Meeting) to discuss policy proposals. Recently meetings have been held online due to COVID-19.
3. JPOPF activities include developing internet resource policies, interfacing between the Japanese and APNIC communities, organizing working groups on specific topics, sharing news and information, and publishing documentation. The goal is to have transparent, bottom-up policy development process.
The document discusses the current state and future of IPv4 and IPv6. It provides the following summary:
1. IPv4 addresses are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive as they are exhausted. Address sharing through Carrier Grade NAT is common but creates issues for identifying users.
2. IPv6 adoption is growing globally, with over 20% of traffic now over IPv6. Major networks, cloud providers, device makers, and operating systems increasingly support IPv6-only.
3. In Japan, major ISPs like NTT and mobile carriers have over 50% of customers using IPv6. However, IPv4 congestion is a problem due to overuse of CGN address sharing. The effects of IPv4
Akira took a trip cycling along the Shimanami Kaido, a series of bridges connecting islands in Japan. He flew from Tokyo to Hiroshima, then spent two nights in a minshuku inn on Omishima Island while cycling parts of the 70 km Shimanami Kaido route, which passes over multiple bridges with scenic views. He enjoyed the local seafood, then returned home via plane from Matsuyama.
This document summarizes the operational experience of MAP-E (Mapping of Address and Port) at Japan Network Enabler (JPNE). MAP-E allows IPv4 traffic to be carried over IPv6 networks by mapping IPv4 addresses and ports to IPv6 addresses. The goals of MAP-E are to transition to an IPv6-only network while requiring no setup or provisioning by users or network providers. It works to offload IPv4 traffic to IPv6 to reduce load on border relays and backbones. Protocols without port numbers do not work under MAP-E, but workarounds exist for some cases like IPSec and FTP. Address sharing under MAP-E can cause issues for some old games and
