Progress Report on APEC Projects Annex G2 2 of 2 Status/Progress and Problems Current status of project: On schedule (Yes) Within budget (Yes) Objectives How do results of the project thus far (if any) compare with its expected results? Include your results thus far (if any) relative to quantitative measures you proposed in paragraph 1 (and 25) of the project design proposal. Most of the planned objectives for the project period after the last report at TEL39 have been well achieved. (1) Networks: KR-JP APII Testbed (10Gbps, NIA-NICT) has been well maintained and used for various research activities including telemedicine, e-learning, network measurement etc. (2) Research Activities: Total of 11 research projects and 10 working groups are being supported continuously in 2009. (3) Workshops: 2009 APII Workshop was successfully held early this year and 2010 APII Workshop is planned to be held in Hanoi, Viet Nam on August of 2010. Linkages, Methodology, Budget Describe any problems which have arisen and how they were resolved, including changes in schedule or revised dates, budget changes, changes in participation, or additions or deletions of activities. Since the KR-JP APII Testbed has been upgraded to 10Gbps from 2Gbps on December 2006, it has been well maintained and network traffic have been gradually increased. The KR-JP APII Testbed will be also used for an indirect link to the US (TransPAC2) via JP for KOREN(Korea s national IT testbed) users in KR as well as the backup link of TEIN. To extend and benefit neighboring APEC economies, who are not inter-connected to above networks of intra-regional or inter-regional, it s most recommended to establish local research network in the economy, and requested to be connected. Secondly, participation in joint R&T projects over the links are also important to enhance their research capability. However, to overcome financial difficulties of those economies who may wish, it is necessary for APECTEL to support those economies through future APECTEL projects Gender Considerations Provide a brief description of the impact of the project on women to date. Provide details to show how women have been consulted on the delivery of the project. What kind of sex-disaggregated data has been collected and used for the project? APII Testbed Project is gender-neutral. 2

Progress since last report : A. APII Links: (1) KR-JP APII Testbed (10Gbps, NIA-NICT) has been well maintained and used for various research activities including telemedicine, e-learning, network measurement etc. NIA and NICT hold regular video-conference meetings to discuss various network and project matters. NIA and NICT also had offline meetings during the APAN meetings (2009.7) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Asia Network Workshop(2009.8) in Jeju, Korea. Some of the issues in discussion include : 1) collaborative research projects over APII Testbed for 2010, 2) cooperation on future network including building OpenFlow testbed between Korea and Japan, 3) ways to provide end-to-end 1G connectivity between Korea and US via APII Testbed, 4) mutual cooperation in global IP-USN testbed group, 5) 2010 APII Workshop < NIA-NICT Videoconference Meeting with 4 sites connected> B. Research Activities (1) 11 joint research projects are being carried out over APII-TB & TEIN in 2009 as well as operation of 10 research working groups. These are funded by NIA and will be continued until the end of 2009. <Joint Research Projects and Working Groups on KOREN/APII-TB/TEIN in 2009> Title Main Partner Institutions Joint Projects OpenFlow based Testbed Implementation Project KyungNam University (Korea), Korea Telecom (Korea), Kyushu University (Japan) 3

(4) Collaboration with TEIN: As reported at TEL39, the TEIN2 was concluded at the end of 2008 and TEIN3(2.5G) began service in 2009. This further facilitates testbed cooperation in the western part of the Asia Pacific region. TEIN3 launching ceremony recently took place in Seoul, Korea on May of 2009, in conjuction with the KOREN Workshop. 7

C. Workshops (1) 2009 APII Workshop (2009.3) and 2010 APII Workshop (2010.8) APII Workshop has been held every year since 2004. As reported at TEL39, this year s APII Workshop, hosted by NIA was successfully held in Kaohsiung, Chines Taipei on March of 2009. The 2010 APII Workshop, to be hosted by NICT, is currently being planned to be held in Hanoi, VietNam on August of 2010 in co-location with the 30 th APAN meeting. APEC member economies are strongly encouraged to participate in the 2010 APII Workshop. (2) 1st Asian Network Workshop (2009.8) The 5 th KR-CN Workshop, which brings researchers from Korea and China in order to exchange R&T results and to cooperate various research areas, that was planned to take place this year in Korea has been expanded and evolved into the 1 st Asian Network Workshop which brought researchers from China, Japan, and Korea. The workshop was held at Jeju University in Jeju, Korea on August of 2009. The workshop was held in conjuction with the Asia Future Internet School. < Asian Network Workshop and related event, Jeju, Korea (2009.8)> (3) 2009 KOREN Workshop (2009.5) The 2009 KOREN(Korea s national IT testbed) Workshop was held on May 21~22, 2009 at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Seoul, Korea. The workshop featured presentations and discussion on research & testing projects over KOREN/APII/TEIN, future networks, IP based sensor networks, future direction of KOREN. One of the sessions included a joint KOREN/JGN2+ session in which NICT members, including the co-chair of the session participated remotely, similar to a virtual conference, from NICT headquarters in Tokyo via APII Testbed. (JGN2+ : Japan s national IT testbed network) International participants in the workshop included experts from Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, France and EU. 8
