1. Background

• CNGI-6IX– China Next Generation Internet Exchange

Center– Started to provide service in the end of 2005– Location

• Beijing (Tsinghua University)• Hong Kong (Mega-iAdvantage)

CNGI demonstration networks

2. Topology

Participants

• CNGI participants– CERNET2 (AS23910)– China Telecom (AS4134)– China Unicom (AS9800)– China Netcom (AS18344)– China Mobile (AS24311)– China Tailcom (AS24425)

Domestic peers

• CERNET (AS4538)

• NSFCNet (AS9406)

• CJ-IPv6 (AS23912)

• Google-China (AS24424)

• …

External peers

• TEIN2-North (AS24489)• APAN-JP (AS7660)• KREONet2 (AS17579)• HK-IX2 (AS4635)• CUHK (AS3661)• Google (AS15169)• Cable & Wireless (AS1273)• Hurricane (AS6939)• …

3. Equipment

• Beijing– 6 CNGI participants’ edge routers– 2 CNGI-6IX core routers– 2 CNGI-6IX core switches

• Hong Kong– 1 CNGI-6IX core router

Equipments (Beijing)

Equipments (Beijing)

• CNGI participants’ edge router– CERNET2: Juniper T640– China Telecom: Huawei NE80E– China Unicom: Juniper T320– China Netcom: Juniper T640– China Mobile: Huawei NE80E– China Tailcom: Huawei NE5000E

Equipments (Beijing)

• CNGI-6IX core router– Cisco CRS-16– Juniper T640

• CNGI-6IX core switch– Cisco 7609– Force10 E600

Equipments (Hong Kong)

• CNGI-6IX core router– Cisco GSR-

12410

4. Addressing and Routing

• IPv6 block– 2001:252::/32– 2001:7fa:5::/48 (obsolete)

• IPv4 block– 210.25.189.0/24

• Just for MPLS/L2VPN service provisioning

Policy

• Principle of IPv6 peering policy– Open to receive all the IPv6 prefixes from

CNGI participants and external peers– Conservative to advertise IPv6 prefixes based

on agreed peering policy• No transit service for external peers

– Community-based

Community List

• CNGI participant– CERNET2: 23911:23910– China Telecom: 23911:4134– China Unicom: 23911:9800– China Netcom: 23911:18344– China Mobile: 23911:24311– China Tailcom: 23911:24425

Community List

• Domestic peer– CERNET: 23911:4538– NSFCNet: 23911:9406– CJ-IPv6: 23911:23912– Google-China: 23911:24424

Community List

• External peers– TEIN2-North: 23911:24489– APAN-JP: 23911:7660– KREONet2: 23911:17579– HK-IX2: 23911:4635– CUHK: 23911:3661– Google: 23911:15169– Cable & Wireless: 23911:1273– Hurricane: 23911:6939

5. Service

• Primary service– IPv6 exchange center

• CNGI participants• Domestic peers

– R&E– Commercial

• External peers– R&E– Commercial

• Advanced service– IPv6 Multicast– MPLS/L2VPN (IPv4-based)

6. Traffic

• Total traffic of CNGI participants and domestic peers (since Jan 1, 2008)

Traffic

• Total traffic of CNGI external peers (since Jan 1, 2008)

7. Problems

• IPv6 flow analysis (netflow v9)– Some equipments can’t support netflow-based IPv6

flow data collecting/exporting• IPv6 prefix length filtering

– Quite a number of organizations have applied small IPv6 block (/36-/48), which should not be globally routable according to certain historical document.

– Should we accept such IPv6 prefixes from external peers?

• IPv6 R&E routes vs. IPv6 commercial routes– How to distinguish IPv6 R&E routes from IPv6

commercial routes?
