><<Abstract>>
>
>The Global IPv6 Summit, under the organization of the IPv6 Forum, is
>held regularly around the world to accelerate the deployment of
>IPv6. We are happy to announce that this conference will be held in
>Japan, one of the leading countries in the areas of IPv6 development
>and deployment.
>
>The Internet is built on the foundations of the Internet Protocol
>(IP). The current version of IP is named IPv4 after its version
>number. The total number of devices that IPv4 can identify is limited
>to about 4.3 billion. It's hard to see the Internet becoming the
>foundation of a true, universal communications infrastructure when
>this number is compared to the human population.
>
>In fact, it is expected that the entire address space of IPv4 will be
>exhausted by around 2008. So, address assignment/allocation is
>currently being carried out under a very restrictive policy. NAT
>(Network Address Translator) was introduced as a temporary solution,
>resulting in the loss of some of the original functionality of the
>Internet.
>
>The principles of the Internet are end-to-end and bidirectional
>communication. This means every node can communicate with every other
>freely without any restrictions caused by intermediate nodes. Since
>NAT broke these principles, it became difficult for unexpected novel
>applications to appear in the current environment of the Internet.
>
>To resolve the exhaustion of IP addresses, extending its address space
>is a straightforward solution. IPv6, the next generation of IP,
>provides a huge number of IP addresses and makes NAT obsolete allowing
>the Internet to recover its original principles.
>
>IPv6 is a paradigm recovery for applications. After deploying IPv6 and
>recovering end-to-end/bidirectional communication, we cannot imagine
>what kind of applications will appear.
>
>This conference will introduce the current deployment status of IPv6
>throughout the world. Also, panel discussions are planned, both on
>"How IPv6 will Change Business" and on "Case Studies: Making the
>Change to IPv6".
>
>Getting Internet people together, including those who are involved in
>IPv6 activities and IPv4 business and management, we intend to discuss
>the future of Internet business and the direction of engineering.
>This conference will be beneficial for everyone including, but not
>limited to, engineers, researchers, network managers and business
>people. We would like to invite each of you to participate.
