Abstract :
With the rapid growth of Internet applications, IA, and 3G wireless communications, the requirement of IP addresses is beyond our imagination. Ipv4, the most common Internet protocol we are using today, is unable to satisfy the explosive requirements in the future. It has been predicted that the IPv4 addresses will totally be exhausted around 2005-2015. This eager starvation points out the strong requirement of next generation Internet protocol - IPv6. Besides, the support of mobility, security, and multimedia QoS are the other reasons for the deployment of the IPv6 protocol. This paper describes the IPv6 deployment and testbed as well as many ongoing IPv6 related projects in Taiwan, such as network-processor based IPv6 gigabit switches, building up a native IPv6 backbone for applications, all IPv6 networks, and mobile IPv6 network environment.
