2. About JANOG : the usual stuff Founded 1997 7000+ mailing list members Meetings Held twice a year, usually January and July. 2 days of plenary sessions + 1/2 day of tutorials and BoFs mostly focus on technical and operational discussions No registration fee for meeting Presentations and discussions are in Japanese English acceptable but rough translation is recommended around 10 non-native attendees per meeting 800+ attendees at Tokyo meetings 500+ attendees at other Cities Next meeting July, 2015 in Kitakyushu City

3. More about JANOG : Working groups Working Groups Special interest working groups are formed when request arises from the members. NTP-WG RPKI-WG Ongoing working group, expected to conclude in a few weeks Produced a document covering reflection attacks and recommendations to operators Concuded July 2013 Hackathon events testing RPKI tools Working with JPNIC to get RPKI running!!!

4. even more interesting stuff Interim meetings Experimental one day meeting No hosts and sponsors, so no one takes risks Successful ventures are fed back to regular meetings Held once a year Collaboration with other bodies ISOC-JP, JPNIC, various academic societies BCP documents BCOP collaboration needs some work

5. Recent Discussion Topics at JANOG MVNO talks Only 3 MNO in Japan. MVNOs are becoming popular and provide a source for competition in the mobile market. How does an MVNO work? BGP Flow Spec, why it’s needed and what is wrong with it Need a fast and intelligent way to mitigate growing # and scale of attacks Manual operation is too slow BGP Flow Spec implementation is inconsistent among vendors and lacks (a reasonably usable) IPv6 support Where are we today with white box switches Where we need them, why we need them, and what more does it take to put them into production

6. JANOG’s All Time Favorite Topics Favorite tools Fiber installation tools, clamps, special wrenches, ‘what I take to th DC when I do installations’ Automation Software tools Team organization issues IPv6 Voices from the people who DON’T want to do IPv6 (this is actually important!) versus people who DO Lots of past technical issues with IPv6 were discussed at JANOG and resolved Routing Size, default routes, IRRs, and BGP hacks

7. Challenges : the language Main language is Japanese even for speaking In the past, we tried volunteer translators, translated slides, and a few other hacks Relies too much on (few number of) bilinguals Try to upload material before meeting so overseas attendees can use internet translation services APNIC sponsorship Outsourcing slides translation (not all, but a few) to professional translation firms so some content will be available in English Began just this year Thanks to Miwa-san! NEW !
