HiNet-IPv rChunghwa Telecom run the largest ISP (HiNet) in Taiwan Leased-Line : > 6,500 (2001/07) Dial-up : > 2,000,000 ADSL : > 420,000 rADSL grow very fast End of 2001 : 1,000,000 End of 2002 : 2,000,000 rADSL broadband service consume a great amount of IP rTime for the future provision of IPv6 Overview

HiNet-IPv Bone Trial (1/6) r CHT-TL start as a leaf site in 1997/12 & a transit site in 1998/11 r Become a backbone site since 1999/02 Register as CHTTL-TW Get 3FFE:3600::/24 address prefix Have built BGP4+ tunnel with some other backbone sites: Sprint, Viagenie, Cisco, Digital-CA and Telebit, etc. rProvide stable transit service to other sites 3ffe:3600:1::/48 for NDHU 3ffe:3600:2::/48 for CCITT 3ffe:3600:3::/48 for NCKU … etc.

HiNet-IPv Lessons from the IPv6 Trial (1/2) rHierarchy Aggregation lTop level aggregation, different from IPv4 situation lImpact to small and medium ISPs rMulti-homing l IPv4 multi-home routing approach could not be adopted lHow to resolve load-sharing and back-up issues rTransition Mechanisms Lots of defined mechanisms Which are easily provided by an ISP? Which mechanisms provide best performance for the customer?

HiNet-IPv rIPv6 Address Assignment l How to efficiently use IPv6 address space? rIPv6 Address Naming Issues How to support huge naming database? How to maintain look-up performance?  Access Not much available: dial-up, xDSL … DHCP needed  Applications Need more new applications, IPv4 and IPv6 aware Lessons from the IPv6 Trial (2/2)

HiNet-IPv Summary r IPv6 technology has stepped from testing stage to initial commercial deployment r Most IPv6 activities in Taiwan are still focused on research and experiment efforts r TWNIC is promoting commercial IPv6 service via integration efforts of ISPs and related industries r Chunghwa Telecom is actively proceeding IPv6 Trial. We expect to get more experience before ready for commercial services
