  13. IPv6 Other IPv6 Activities: • Obtained IPv6 address block allocation from Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC) – the first IPv6 allocation given to a Philippine-based network; • Research on IPv6 Network Management with focus on tools for monitoring and characterizing the IPv6 network; • Conducted an IPv6 Demonstration during the 28th AIC Conference in Manila and an IPv6 Tutorial during the 3rd National ECE Conference; and • Conducted five (5) IPv6 Workshops at the UP-EEE, ASTI, and APC with a total of 109 participants Website : http://www.ipv6.asti.dost.gov.ph

  14. Network Measurements PREGINET monitors the network and develops tools and systems necessary to maintain the efficiency and reliability of the PREGINET network. A fully-functional web-based NetMon system was developed. It has the ff. components: • Network Weather Map/MRTG/MRTGViewer • Remote Network Monitoring and Control via SMS • Trouble Ticketing System with SMS • Routers & Servers Flow-based Traffic Monitoring http://noc.asti.dost.gov.ph

  15.
