Progress Report on APEC Projects

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.

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

(2) There were other activities for international research & testing cooperation including,

1) global IP based sensor network testbed(using APII-TB/TEIN), which is up and running,

collecting sensor based information, with a consultation meeting among partners which took

place on July of 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, (during the APAN meeting period and

with most of the 11 participating economies in attendance) discussing individual site updates

(Thailand - Panjai Tantatsanawong of UniNET, Japan – Takeuchi Susumu of NICT,

VietNam – Nguyen Tuan Hai of VinaREN, Korea – Hyun-Ho Choi of NIA) including

wireless sensor network update from China(Wang Jilong of Tsinghau University), ideas for

sharing information among heterogeneous sensors, ways to facilitate research as off-the-

shelf sensors are not conducive to research, and ideas for future collaboration,
