IPv6 Address Allocation in Taiwan Source: APNIC, Jun 2003 Government began to push
IPv6 ISP and IX in Taiwan • 7 out of 12 IPv6 sTLA (/32) allocations were made to major ISPs • HiNet launched trial commercial services since 2001 • TANet is going to build Taiwan’s largest Academic IPv6 network in 2003 • One IX provides IPv6 services • TWIX is the largest IPv4 IX (Internet Exchange), but only has 3 IPv6 members at present. • ASNet provides local networks transit services to oversea IPv6 networks. Some local IPv6 ISPs are peering with ASNet.
