The Internet today• Dynamic• Evolving• Devolving• Esoteric• Commercially driven• Conflicting views• Jurisdiction and legalities• Governance• Technologies• Exposed• Targetted• A resource, a source, a repository
![Page 6: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The problem for educationalists
• In the face of this constantly changing and evolving Internet environment, educationalists are faced with the task of having to prepare future network professionals with both the theoretical concepts of internetworking as well as an understanding of the practical operation and functionality of the Internet as it currently applies.
![Page 7: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The difficulties:
• Maintaining own currency– Technologies– Operation– Structure– Management and policy
• Untangling the complexities• Knowing what to present• Sourcing and maintaining material• Practical exposure
![Page 8: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The current situation
• This is not scientific!!!! Based on:– Own experience– Other’s experience– Anecdotal– Operator experience– Observed operational issues
• Concepts, theories presented well• Practical knowledge of the structure, operation,
management of the Internet is lacking• Students are lacking practical, relevant
understanding
![Page 9: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Response and motivation
• Reaction to some initial discussion has indicated that academics, students and those involved in the operation of the Internet clearly endorse the need to effectively provide such knowledge and understanding in teaching programs.
• Improvement in Internet knowledge for network professionals will enhance
– Productivity– Efficiency– Progress– Best Practice
![Page 10: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Policy development process
![Page 19: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why a policy?
• Long term interests of the Internet requires prudent management of address space
• While address management is not a pure “technical” issue, mismanaged management can severely impact Internet operation.– routing tables– filtering and accessibility– Imbalance of distribution
![Page 20: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Policy development
• Industry self-regulatory process– Policy is developed by the AP Internet
community to suit needs of region– Facilitated by RIR staff
• Policy implementation– APNIC shares with its members and their
customers a collective responsibility • RIR process• ISPs and other affected parties
![Page 21: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Policy Principles
• Address space not freehold property– Understanding that globally unique address
space is licensed for use – not owned
• Routability not guaranteed
• Minimum allocation is defined
![Page 22: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Participation in policy development
• To be aware of the current policies for managing address space allocated.
• Business reasons• Policies affect business operating environments and
are constantly changing• Ensure ‘needs’ are met
• Educational• Improve operational capabilities and practices• Learn and share experiences• Stay abreast with ‘best practices’ in the Internet• Facilitate Internet development
![Page 23: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

An operational education - what can or should be taught?
• A curriculum can be developed to focus on the operational knowledge, understanding and capabilities a network professional should acquire to effectively function in the prevailing Internet environment
![Page 26: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Topics and Issues – some examples
• While a curriculum would be the subject for collaborative development, there are a number of clearly defined areas that should be included:
• Many of these may currently already be part of some courses.
• However, the would still be scope to provide support, currency, consistency and operational input.
![Page 27: Welcome! APNIC Training](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681678a550346895ddca3b8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
