Packet vs Circuit Switching

• Circuit (telephony) like reserving bicycle lanes
  from LA to NY!
• Packet (Internet) like sharing of the highway
  among high speed cars.

Internet Protocol (IP) Addressing

• IPv4 - 32 bits
• initially, 256 networks then mix of
• Class A (128 with 16 M hosts)
• Class B (16,384 with 65K hosts)
• Class C (2M with 256 hosts)
• Now, Classless Inter-domain addresses
• up to 4.3 Billion hosts, hundreds of thousands of
  networks
• For example 140.109.10.11 is an Internet address
  this is really just a way to represent a 32 bit
  number that is how Internet Protocol version 4
  represents locations in the Internet, like
  telephone numbers in the telephone network

17
Protocols and Identifiers

• Protocols are procedures and formats that are
  used to enable computer to computer
  communication.
• To support this, computers share common knowledge
  of identifiers to make clear which protocols are
  being used. For example, Internet Protocol
  version 4 is in use today IPv6 is coming
• IP address and Domain Name
• Standford.edu, ntu.edu.tw .
• Domain Name Service to map Name to IP address
• cc.ntu.edu.tw ?-----? 140.112.1.2

25
Who will decide your rights in the cyberspace?

• 1970s 1990s
• Rules have been set through RFC by a small
  group of engineers.
• 1998 up to now
• Rules have been set through ICANN(Private
  Org) and others(CNNIC, JPNIC, KRNIC, TWNIC, etc)
  through Policies in the name of consensus
• Future
• Will Rules be set by Govts or Private Orgs
  through national treaties or policies????

• Non-profit, private-sector corporation (created
  in Oct. 1998)
• Internet Domain Names

ccTLD Managers Today

Global vs Local Policies
ccTLD manager

• Global Policy
• Delegation
• Redelegation
• Technical Standards
• Interoperability

• Local policy
• Structure second level domains and beyond
• Who can register
• Price
• Dispute policy
• Prohibited names
• Marketing channels

Local Internet Community Local policy Organized
by the ccTLD Manager
Global InternetCommunity Global
Policy Organized by ICANN
51
Trusteeship (ICANN)

• RFC 1591 (Jon Postel)
• Concerns about rights and ownership of
  domains are inappropriate. It is appropriate to
  be concerned about responsibilities and
  service to the community.
• These designated authorities ccTLDs are
  trustees for the delegated domain, and have a
  duty to serve the community.
• ICP-1
• Documents IANA policies and practices as of
  ICANNs formation

52
Trusteeship (Governments)

• GAC Principles
• The delegee of a ccTLD is a trustee for the
  delegated domain, and has a duty to serve the
  residents of the relevant country or territory in
  the context of ISO 3166-1, as well as the global
  Internet community Its policy role should be
  distinguished from the management, administration
  and marketing of the ccTLD. These functions may
  be performed by the same or different entities.
  However the delegation itself cannot be
  sub-contracted, sub-licensed or otherwise traded
  without the agreement of the relevant government
  or public authority and ICANN." (4.1, GAC
  Principles)

53
Trusteeship (ccTLDs)

• ccTLD Constituency Best Practices Guidelines
• A ccTLD manager is a trustee for the delegated
  domain, and has a duty to serve the community it
  represents as well as the global Internet
  community. Concerns about rights and ownership
  ..(Postel quote)
• CENTR Best Practices (Duties of ccTLD Managers)
• The primary duty of the ccTLD Manager is one of
  Public Service, and to manage and operate the
  ccTLD Registry in the interest of and in
  consultation with the Local Internet Community.
  ccTLD Managers are entrusted with the management
  of the TLD Registry. A ccTLD Manager has no
  interest in the intellectual or other property
  rights in names registered as domain names or as
  part of domain names.

54

ICANN-ccTLDs Agreement Framework

• Why agreements?
• To formalize and institutionalize existing
  relationships
• Reflect agreed principles
• Make relationships stable and transparent
• Advance MOU transition
• Contracts vs understandings

58
ccTLD Agreements

• (1) Legacy situation
• The IANA monitors the trust locally and
  globally No government involvement
• (2) Trilateral situation
• The national government, where interested,
  responsibly monitors the local interest ICANN
  monitors the global interest
• Legacy ?----------------?Trilateral
• Intermediate

IETF is a loosely self-organized group of people
who contribute to the engineering and evolution
of Internet technologies. It is the principal
body engaged in the development of new Internet
standard specifications. The IETF is unusual in
that it exists as a collection of happenings, but
is not a corporation and has no board of
directors, no members, and no dues. RFC 3160
