Philip Smith, Cisco The Chair reported that there were no open action items. Toshinori Ishii, Internet Multifeed Co. Presentation [pdf] This speaker gave an update on the JPNAP, a commercially-operated IX in Japan run by Internet Multifeed Co. The speaker discussed the development of JPNAP as the first commercial IX in Japan to offer a 10GE interface, and highlighted the increasing number of customers for this service. He also touched on JPNAP6, an IX service supporting IPv6. The speaker reported that legal crackdowns on P2P use in Japan appear to have had a significant impact on traffic through JPNAP. He reported that JPNAP has also been the victim of a segment hijack, and that the organisation now recommends that ISPs filter out JPNAP prefixes by BGP prefix filter. Questions and discussion Action items Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Lahai Presentation [pdf] This presentation was made on behalf of Bangladesh Internet Exchange and included an outline of the equipment, policies and difficulties faced by BDIX. The speaker noted that up to 16 ISPs can connect to BDIX, though he expressed reservations as to whether the reception would handle this number simultaneously. He described some of the connection services which BDIX is providing to local ISPs, and reported that while traffic to date has been relatively low, there was reason to expect rapid growth. The speaker also discussed a number of issues faced, concerning the need for public AS numbers. He reported that most members of BDIX are not APNIC members, and thus did not have their own AS numbers, however this situation has apparently begun to change. Questions and discussion Action items Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Lahai Presentation [pdf] This speaker presented an update on the Nepal IX. He reported that the IX now has two switches approximately 3km apart, which at this point are not connected. The speaker reported healthy growth in the amount of traffic coming through NPIX, and that Nepal Telecom has recently connected to NPIX. He reported a single day traffic on the day of the School Leaving Certificate of 2MB, which compares to 5MB for all of last year. There are currently six ISPs connected to NPIX, and the organisation is currently looking at IPv6 peering, a routing registry (still in development), and cache share. They are also in negotiations to mirror a root server, and a .np slave at the IX. Questions and discussion Action items Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Lahai Presentation [pdf] The speaker gave a report on NIXI, a neutral IX operating in India, with switches in a number of cities, including Delhi and Mumbai. He noted the difficulties faced in the Indian industry because of the lack of peering between ISPs. Questions and discussion Action items Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Lahai The speaker gave a brief presentation on Vietnam IX in Hanoi. He noted that as of several months ago there were four ISPs connected, one of which has a optical connection. He also mentioned plans to upgrade to an L2 switch, and that a second POP was recently opened in Ho Chi Mihn City, which is getting more traffic than the Hanoi operation. He concluded by noting that VNIX is involved with BDIX in negotiations to mirror a root server.
