Written by Gaurub Raj Upadhaya Presented by Bill Woodcock, Packet Clearing House This presentation provided an overview of the Nepal Internet Exchange, including the financial and technical specifications and problems experienced setting up the IX. It was mentioned that due to some confusion about APNIC membership and procedures for requesting IP addresses and AS numbers, many of the ISPs did not have AS numbers when the IX began. Questions and discussion Action items Takejiro Hirayama, JPIX This presentation provided an update to JPIX activities and expansion, including services offered to members, and total number of customer ISPs. Traffic has grown substantially since its inception in 1998. The IX plans experimental IPv6 services by the end of the year. Questions and discussion Action items Nobuhisa Miyake, Internet Multifeed Co This presentation provided an introduction to the JPNAP IX launched in January 2001. JPNAP provides services in Tokyo and Osaka. There is also an IPv6 IX in Tokyo. Traffic has increased substantially in 2002. Questions and discussion Action items Eugene Li-Ming Chang, Chunghwa Telecom This presentation provided an overview of IXs in Taiwan. Details of the technical specifications of TWIX and requirements for IX participants were presented. The presenter outlined current and future issues for the IX, including IPv6 trial and commercial services. Questions and discussion Action items Akira Kato, WIDE This presentation provided an overview of NSPIXP-2 (Tokyo), NSPIXP-3 (Osaka), and NSPIXP-6 (IPv6). NSPIXP-2 is one of the biggest Internet Exchanges in Japan. The presentation noted a consistent lunch hour peak of network traffic. However, the 11pm dial up traffic peak has disappeared this year due to the majority of users now using ADSL. The presentation also noted future plans for the IX, which includes a distributed IX across six locations. However, the presentation noted some problems involved in a distributed IX environment. NSPIXP-3 was the first IX in Osaka. Almost all IPv6 ISPs are connected to NSPIXP-6.

Andy Linton This presentation outlined the two Internet Exchanges in New Zealand, the Auckland Peering Exchange and Wellington IX. Questions and discussion Action items The Chair stated that the APNIC 14 IX SIG was the most successful IX SIG to date and reminded people to the next IX SIG at APRICOT 2003. He asked participants to contact him if they wish to present or need more time at the next SIG. This may result in the Chair asking APNIC to provide a longer IX session in future.
