Infrastructure Division Tasks

To help domestic ISPs convert their network infrastructures from IPv4 to IPv6To construct Taiwan’s R&E networks (e.g. TANet and TWAREN) with IPv6 enabled infrastructuresTo integrate Taiwan’s government, academic institutes, industry, and commercial IPv6 network infrastructuresTo develop IPv6 infrastructure-based applications such as digital A/V content, VoIPv6, multicasting, and grid computingTo share our domestic experience and technical expertise in IPv6 with other countries

ASNet IPv6 Network

ASNet

Academic Service Network (ASN: 9264)

Maintained by Academia Sinica Computing Centre

IPv6 Address allocated

Protocol: BGP4+、 RIPng、 OSPFv3

ASIX6 Exchange Network

ASNet Internet eXchange v6 (ASIX6)

Maintained by ASCC

Purpose and BenefitsTo provide the global IPv6 connection for IX participants

To provide the mature IPv6 infrastructure for IPv6 development and implementation

To share the IPv4/v6 transfer experience with IX participants

To minimize the cost for IX participants in initial IPv6 construction

To improve the IPv6 traffic performance and network quality

The Eco Grid on IPv6

Location: Nan-Jen-Shan and Ken-Ting in Ping-Tung

Work Items:Setup IPv6 wireless access

Develop IPv6 Smart Sensor Server

Provide Grid Integration Services

Key Technologies:IPv6 Smart Sensor Server:

Middleware and IPv6 support

MPEG-4 video streaming over IPv6

Enabling IPv6 in TANet’s Backbone

Enable IPv6 in TANet’s backcone

To provide transparent IPv6 to IPv6, IPv4 to IPv6 and IPv6 to IPv4 communications

To provide TANet users with easy access to IPv6 application software and to effectively promote IPv6 technology

To construct IPv6 DNS root servers application servers and for TANet

TANET IPv4/v6 Co-Existing Network

GSN IPv6 Network

Government Service Network (GSN) is one of the most important government-owned networks in Taiwan

It provides government services over a reliable high-speed backbone network.

The objective of this task is to construct an IPv6 backbone for GSN. This IPv6 backbone will connect government nodes so data can be exchanged over IPv6.
