Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Introduction of JPNICs Registry System

4 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Back ground JPNIC will implement a new registry system from May 2002 Basic System Concept –High cost performance for both JPNIC and LIRs –Supports both IPv6/v4 Registry system –User friendly –Independent system from domain name Domain Name Operations will be transferred to JPRS

9 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Major Features User friendly –Discussion panel with communication in notice board style for smooth evaluation –2 types of interface:web & transaction –Customized information for LIRs Whois service for both IP address and domain name Enhanced security

10 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center File attachment Comment on the request Request form Discussion Panel Communication for evaluation through a panel board –Second opinion –Allocation Accepts file attachments

11 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Transaction Interface Web Interface Accept request DB Able to make request status check on web for applications through both interfaces Evaluation for allocation and second opinion requests will be done on the web LIRsWeb Status check Sending information Transaction and Web interfaces Accepts a large no. of requests at once User friendly

12 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Customized Information for each LIRs Request status check Allocation –Date of allocation, size –Utilization for each block –Assignments made from that block Search assignment information by –Net-name, organization, allocation block, etc Fee status check

Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Issues for Further Discussion IPv6 System Issues

19 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center IPv6 Registry System Issues Basically the same functions,features and network components as IPv4 system except –Management of address block –Whois DB –Reverse DNS Need to fix the policy for further development

20 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Management of Address Block -current scheme- Allocation block Allocation Block APNIC NIRs LIR Allocation Block Allocation Block Evaluation & allocation -A large volume of data must be sent to APNIC for evaluation - Re-evaluation by APNIC for NIRs allocation Evaluation & allocation

21 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Management of Address Block -share the common pool- Allocation block APNIC NIR LIR Evaluation - APNIC and NIRs must have a common interface for DB access - Security issue for APNIC NIR Access to address block Allocation

22 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Whois DB -current scheme- Whois DB Whois DB APNIC NIRs LIRs ftp Register assignments Allocation to NIRs Allocation to LIRs LIR assignments Allocation to LIRs LIR assignments –A large volume of data transfer by ftp –A large volume of data must be registered in upper registrys DB

23 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Whois DB -hierarchical structure- Whois DB Whois DB APNIC NIRs LIRs Allocation to NIRs Allocation to LIRs Whois DB LIR assignments Not all LIRs are able to implement the consistent system -May not be properly managed if only the interface is consistent Each NIRs must have consistent DB structure synchronize

24 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Reverse DNS No change in the management structure What would be an appropriate boundary? –Fixed boundary –LIR allocation base

25 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Issues with IPv6 system development No major technical problem in DB –Simply must support IPv6 boundaries –Prototype will be ready for IPv6 boundary supported system Would like to discuss and fix the following with APNIC & NIRs to move towards further development –Management of address block –Whois DB

Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Summary & Conclusion

27 Copyright (c) 2002 Japan Network Information Center Summary & Conclusion JPNIC will implement a new registry system in May 2002 –Whois service for domain name & IP address, enhanced security and other user friendly features –Prototype will be ready for IPv6 boundary supported system Future support plan –IPv6 DNS support –IRR Would like to discuss and fix IPv6 system issues with APNIC and NIRs
