Prospect for IPv6 in China
Currently 59,100,000 internet users in Chinese
mainland,accounts for only 4.6% of China’s population
—— Large development potential
We will not run out of IPv4 addresses in the short
term,but the continuing growth of Internet can only
rely on IPv6
—— The future is IPv6 Internet
Page 32003-4-9
Prospect for IPv6 in China
It’s unwise to wait for the IPv4 address depletion
—— Start IPv6 deployment now!
The sooner IPv6 is deployed the more opportunities
for Internet development
——Make ready for IPv6 applications
——shorten the IPv4/IPv6 transitional period
——reduce the complexity of (dual stack) Internet
management and development costs
Page 42003-4-9
Prospect for IPv6 in China
Need strong support from the government
—— Killer applications are still under development
Set up IPv6 trial networks
—— Collect operational experience before
transitioning to commercial networks(New applications,
business model in IPv6 networks…)
—— This is just what is being done in China
Build IPv6 network as a part of NGN
—— Not just IP,we should have a much broader view
Page 52003-4-9
Early deployment of IPv6 should be
mainly in mobile networks
There are large IPv4 investment in fixed networks
—— Smooth transition to IPv6 is a problem
Mobile and Wireless Internet is in its early stage of
development
—— Is growing rapidly
—— Mobile support in IPv6 is much better than in IPv4
—— IPv6 provides large enough address space

WLAN+Mobile IPv6
WLAN has many advantages as apposed to wired LAN
—— Easy installation
—— much flexible
—— Low maintenance and management costs
—— Large potential market for WLAN
Mobile IPv6 will enlarge the usefulness of WLAN
—— No need to change IP address while roaming
—— More flexible networking scheme

Work on IPv6 by ZTE
ZTE’s vision
——IPv6 Market is still forming
——More demands for access routers than network core routers
——A few demands for core routers to build IPv6 trial networks
Undertakes the,High Quality IPv6 Routing Platform”
research project of Hi-Tech Research and Development
Program of China (the 863 Project)

Work on IPv6 by ZTE
IPv6 stack
—— Portable to multiple OSes
—— Currently run on ZXR10 GAR General Access Router
—— Multiple transition mechanisms(Dual stack,TB,NAT-PT,tunnel etc.)
—— RIPng
—— mobile IPv6
—— IPsec
—— QoS
Coming soon
—— OSPFv3
—— BGP4+
—— IS-ISv6
—— Run on ZXR10-T64/T128 core routers

Setup IPv6 networks for 2008 Beijing Olympics Games
—— The first IPv6 Olympics Games!
—— This is a good opportunity,and good timing too!
—— Good advertisement for Olympics!
—— Good advertisement for IPv6!
