IPv6 Trial in CHT & Policy Issues Fu-Kuei Chung fkchung@cht.com.tw Chunghwa Telecom Co. TWNIC IPv6 Working Group Jul. 2001
Contents • Overview • 6Bone Trial • HiNet IPv6 Trial • Lessons from the IPv6 Trial • Future Trial Works • Summary
Overview • Chunghwa Telecom run the largest ISP (HiNet) in Taiwan • Leased-Line : > 6,500 (2001/07) • Dial-up : > 2,000,000 • ADSL : > 420,000 • ADSL grow very fast • End of 2001 : 1,000,000 • End of 2002 : 2,000,000 • ADSL broadband service consume a great amount of IP • Time for the future provision of IPv6
6-Bone Trial (1/6) • CHT-TL start as a leaf site in 1997/12 & a transit site in 1998/11 • 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. • Provide 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.
6-Bone Trial (2/6) • Techniques and Protocols Trial • IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling testing • Stateless auto-configuration testing • RIPng and BGP4+ testing • Set up Related Services • DNS server supporting AAAA records • WWW server • FTP server • Telnet

Purpose of HiNet IPv6 Trial • Get Experience of IPv6 Deployment • Transition Mechanism • Addressing Issues • Network Management • Training • Feedback from End Users
HiNet IPv6 Trial Overview • IP Address Block : 2001:238::/35 • Domestic IPv6 Network : 6 POPs • Backbone : Frame Relay • Routers : Cisco 3600、4500 Series • Servers : • Mail : SUN Solaris 2.8 , Sendmail 8.11.2 • DNS : SUN Solaris 2.8 , Bind 9.0.1 • WWW : SUN Solaris 2.8 , Apache 1.3.14 • Routing Server : Linux,MRTd • 6to4 Relay Server : Win2000 • International IPv6 Connectivity : 6Bone (planning : 6TAP, ...etc.)

Lessons from the IPv6 Trial (1/2) • Hierarchy Aggregation • Top level aggregation, different from IPv4 situation • Impact to small and medium ISPs • Multi-homing • IPv4 multi-home routing approach could not be adopted • How to resolve load-sharing and back-up issues • Transition Mechanisms • Lots of defined mechanisms • Which are easily provided by an ISP? • Which mechanisms provide best performance for the customer?
Lessons from the IPv6 Trial (2/2) • IPv6 Address Assignment • How to efficiently use IPv6 address space? • IPv6 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
Future Trial Works • Connect to IPv6 IX(Internet Exchange) • IPSec • Multicast • QoS-DiffServe • VoIPv6 • IPv6 for Wireless LAN • Mobile IPv6 - IPv6 over 3G Cellular …..
Summary • IPv6 technology has stepped from testing stage to initial commercial deployment • Most IPv6 activities in Taiwan are still focused on research and experiment efforts • TWNIC is promoting commercial IPv6 service via integration efforts of ISPs and related industries • Chunghwa Telecom is actively proceeding IPv6 Trial. We expect to get more experience before ready for commercial services
