Infrastructure Division Tasks To help domestic ISPs convert their network infrastructures from IPv4 to IPv6 To construct Taiwan’s R&E networks (e.g. TANet and TWAREN) with IPv6 enabled infrastructures To integrate Taiwan’s government, academic institutes, industry, and commercial IPv6 network infrastructures To develop IPv6 infrastructure-based applications such as digital A/V content, VoIPv6, multicasting, and grid computing To share our domestic experience and technical expertise in IPv6 with other countries

ASNet IPv6 Network ASNet Academic Service Network (ASN: 9264) Maintained by Academia Sinica Computing Centre IPv6 Address allocated Pseudo-TLA: 3FFE:4001::/32, 2002/3, will be phased out on 6/6/2006 Sub-TLA: 2001:C08::/32, 2002/7 Architecture Layout: Layer 2 and Layer 3 peering Protocol: BGP4+ 、 RIPng 、 OSPFv3

ASIX6 Exchange Network ASNet Internet eXchange v6 (ASIX6) Maintained by ASCC Purpose and Benefits To provide the global IPv6 connection for IX participants To provide the mature IPv6 infrastructure for IPv6 development and implementation To share the IPv4/v6 transfer experience with IX participants To minimize the cost for IX participants in initial IPv6 construction To improve the IPv6 traffic performance and network quality

IPv6 Exchange Links Domestic Native Links with 8 Networks Bandwidth: 4.3 Gbps Overseas Native Links with 68 Networks Bandwidth: 6.99 Gbps Links to IPv6 IXs NSPIXP-6, StarLight, 6TAP,…………

IPv6 Backbone Worldwide Infrastructure

TWAREN IPv6 Network Platform TWAREN (TaiWan Advanced Research and Education Network) Maintained by NCHC Establish IPv6 connections with R&E networks or ISPs Enable TWAREN IPv6 multicast Develop applications in the TWAREN IPv6 network environment

TWAREN IPv6 Network Backbone Taipei Tainan Hsinchu Taichung SINICA NTU NCU NCTU NTHU NCHU NCNU NCKU CCU NSYSU NDHU 10G (POS, GE) CISCO 7609 CISCO GSR12416

IPv6 Address Assignment TWAREN IPv6 address 2001:C58:A000::/ :0E10::/32 Hierarchical IPv6 address assignment policy TWAREN IPv6 address assignment Core: /35 POP: /38 Institution: /48

TWAREN IPv6 Peering TWAREN IPv6 peering policy Serve as IPv6 Transit Backbone Peering with Internet/Internet2 IPv6 peering networks: Domestic: 7 (TANet, ASNet, Hinet…) International: 8 (Abilene, 6TAP, CANet4…) Will expand IPv6 peering networks

Abilene 1.6 G STM-16) CA*Net4 TANet2 TWAREN Taipei TWAREN IPv6 peering networks

TWAREN IPv4/v6 Multicast TWAREN IPv4 multicast IPv4 backbone multicast-enabled Multicast peering with Abilene 、 AARnet TWAREN IPv6 multicast IPv6 multicast-enabled within core nodes and multicast peer with HiNet IPv6 multicast will be deployed throughout the entire network in Q3, 2005 Will peer with ASNet in the near future

TWAREN IPv6 Multicast Backbone Taipei Tainan Hsinchu Taichung SINICA NTU NCU NCTU NTHU NCHU NCNU NCKU CCU NSYSU NDHU IPv6 multicast (phase 2) CISCO 7609 CISCO GSR12416 IPv6 multicast (phase 1)

The Eco Grid on IPv6 Location: Nan-Jen-Shan and Ken-Ting in Ping-Tung Work Items: Setup IPv6 wireless access Develop IPv6 Smart Sensor Server Provide Grid Integration Services Key Technologies: IPv6 Smart Sensor Server: Middleware and IPv6 support MPEG-4 video streaming over IPv6

Enabling IPv6 in TANet’s Backbone Enable IPv6 in TANet’s backcone To provide transparent IPv6 to IPv6, IPv4 to IPv6 and IPv6 to IPv4 communications To provide TANet users with easy access to IPv6 application software and to effectively promote IPv6 technology To construct IPv6 DNS root servers application servers and for TANet

TANET IPv4/v6 Co-Existing Network

GSN IPv6 Network Government Service Network (GSN) is one of the most important government-owned networks in Taiwan It provides government services over a reliable high- speed backbone network. The objective of this task is to construct an IPv6 backbone for GSN. This IPv6 backbone will connect government nodes so data can be exchanged over IPv6.
