IPv6 Prefix Allocation P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
IPv6 Activities • 6 blocks of IPv6 addresses allocated from APNIC • IPv6 prefix allocation service: NECTEC and CAT offer /48 • 6-to-4 relay service: NECTEC and AsiaInfonet • DNS and reverse DNS delegation • ns1.ipv6.nectec.or.th, ns2.ipv6.nectec.or.th • dns6.ipv6.cattelecom.com, andaman.cattelecom.com • UniNet (Thai University Network) • ~200 institutions connected • 6 are running dual stack, 10 are using tunneling • Dual stack link to Internet2 • Native IPv6 Testbed: PSU-CAT-NECTEC P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
IPv6 Activities (2) • IPv6 mail, FTP, SIP proxy servers • IPv6 workshops/seminars • IPv6 application demonstrations • SIP-based video phone • Mobile IPv6, network mobility • Join SOI-Asia Project • Test IPv6 Operation (VIC, RAT, Multicast over Satellite) • Join international conferences • 19th APAN Meeting, Bangkok • APRICOT 2005, Kyoto – Asia-Pacific IPv6 Taskforce • 20th APAN Meeting, Taipei P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
IPv6 Applications—SIP IDL • SIP-based interactive distance learning • PSU develops and uses for classes at 2 campuses P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
IPv6 Applications—Multi-homing • Developed by PSU, supported by NECTEC • Based on HIP and NAROS protocols with some enhanced mechanisms • A prototype will be deployed in UniNET by 5 universities P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
Assigns IPv6 addresses to all IP connected devices Automatically connects to tunnel servers or tunnel brokers Handles 6-to-4 relay Handles uncertain IPv4 address assignment via IPv6 automated site renumbering IPv6 firewall IPv6 Applications—Home Gateway P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
IPv6 Applications—IM • Java-based IPv6 instant messaging with video/audio • Mobile IPv6 capable • Network-aware, bandwidth-adaptive • Developed by NECTEC P.Pongpaibool, 20th APAN
