Major IPv6 Player in China

In China, IPv6 research, trial, test, deployment, and application are developed in:

- universities- research institutes- equipment vendors- commercial ISPs

2005-3-7 4

Universities

Recently, universities have finished a new IPv6backbone covering 20 cities, this is one of the 6backbones in CNGI project and called CERNET2

Chinese Academy of Sciences

Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) supported 20 Million RMB Yuan for its research institutes in IPv6 relatedresearch and development since 2001

Part of this IPv6 project was done together withChina NetCom (CNC)

2005-3-7 10

IPv6 Testbed of CAS and CNC

- The key project of Knowledge Innovation Program of CAS “IPv6 network key technology research and MAN demosystem”was started in 2001 and finished in June 2004 inMunicipal city Chongqing

- The IPv6 MAN is operated by CNC Chongqing and is alsothe first IPv6 commercial metropolitan trial network

China Telecom CN2 Network

1. CN2 is under construction and is the new IP backbone of CHINANET, supporting IPv6

- CHINANET is expanding its IP network for the sixth time- CN2 is for commercial use

2. Greatly enhanced the capacity. All link capacity are mainly 10G and can be upgraded to 40Gbps in future.

3. All the vendors for CN2 promised to support the smooth transition to IPv6.

4. Main cities in China will be capable of providing IPv6 services.

China Telecom: IPv6 Application and Services

1. Hunan Telecom IPv6 Demo Network

The first IPv6 application demo network of carriers established on March 2002 has been successfully operated for 3 years. It has passed many different tests including IPv6 access services and IPv6 audio and video services tests which provides precious experiences for new services development.

Application

2. Research on Telecom Carriers’ IPv6 Integrated Services Platform

IPv6 “pure network” is not capable enough to support IPv6 value added services development. It needs to set up a service platform between the IPv6 infrastructure and application services, change the IPv6 technology into appealing services and realize the sustainable development of services.

2005-3-7 17

China NetCom (CNC)China NetCom has been working on IPv6

with four projects:- 6Tnet with BII- Chongqing IPv6 WAN with CAS- CN2- Hunan province trial IPv6- participating the 6Tnet initiated by BII - CNGI

Conclusion

1, Killer application is the key factor in IPv6 deployment,2, Dual stack is very important for transition from IPv4 to

IPv63, Compared with early day’s IPv4 network, IPv6 is more difficult to

grow from its cradle4, Most of the IPv6 activities in China are still concentrated on trial,

research, showcases, experiments, and development. It is stilla long way to go for actual use of the IPv6 network

5, IPv6 deployment and applications in China are for behindJapan, North America, and Europe
