IPv6 is leading the development of the Internet
IPv6 provides more room for innovation and growth for network infrastructure. Academician Wu Hequan of CAE Member summarizes the current development trend and features of IPv6 in the meeting. He believes that the global Internet development has entered the dominant era of IPv6, which mainly presents three features: first, the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is accelerating; Second, from IPv4/IPv6 binary stack to IPv6 only; Third, IPv6 is evolving towards IPv6+, with evolving IPv6 address space capabilities and full integration with next-generation IT. IPv6 plays an active role.
Liu Dong, vice president of the IPv6 Forum, reported on the development of global IPv6 deployment: “Global IPv6 deployment will reach a new level in 2022. Countries or regions with an overall IPv6 deployment rate of about 30% or higher account for more than half of the world 26 countries have IPv6 adoption rates exceeding 40%, an increase of 9% compared to 2021; 37 countries have deployment rates exceeding 30%; 51 countries have deployment rates exceeding 20%. Only IPv6 is becoming a global consensus. IPv6 implementations and users will increase rapidly in the future”
Sharing the development of IPv6 deployment in the Asia-Pacific region at the conference, Pan Guangliang, Director of Core Resource Services, Asia Pacific Internet Network Information Center (APNIC), said: “The growth of the Internet has not and will not stop. stop As more and more devices connect to the Internet, IPv6 is the way to go and growing globally, Asia is seeing strong growth in overall IPv6 capacity. According to APNIC statistics, IPv6 support capacity in Asia exceeds the global average. about 40%. Several countries such as China, India and Malaysia have witnessed the rapid development of IPv6. In the next few years, the implementation of IPv6 will continue to improve and more innovative applications based on IPv6 will emerge.”
The development of IPv6 in China is excellent. Gao Wei, director of the Internet Center of the Institute of Standards of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communication Technologies, said at the conference: “China is among the first countries in the world to conduct research, standard setting, application development, and large-scale research. – Large-scale commercialization of IPv6 and next-generation Internet technologies. As of December 2022, the number of IPv6 users in China has reached 717.7 million, IPv6 traffic in fixed networks has accounted for 12%, and mobile networks have accounted for 46%, which shows a good growth rate. . . The IPv6 transformation is achieving tremendous success, especially on the cloud platform, to achieve a new era of IPv6 traffic growth to provide strong support.”
The IPv6 standard is evolving from IPv6-only to “cloud networking,” “computing networking,” and “security.”
In the digital economy era, the integration of the Internet and the economy continues to deepen, and industrial digitalization with digital industrialization has become opportunities for all industries to open a new chapter. As an important starting point of digital transformation, the standard is more suitable for unlocking leading advantage in a changing situation. The research, development and creation of IPv6 and the technical standards derived from it and incorporated are closely related to the development and implementation of IPv6. With the accelerated implementation of IPv6, the international standardization of IPv6 has entered a new phase and faced new changes.
Zhao Huiling, chairman of the CCSA TC3 Technical Committee of the China Communications Standardization Association, said that after 20 years of development, the current IPv6 standards have formed a systematic and standardized trend covering five standard categories: resources, networks, applications, security and switching. . Standards at this stage can meet the needs of IPv6 network construction, but security standards and implementation standards still have a lot to do. It also proposes four main directions for the establishment of IPv6 industry standards in a new phase: first, in the field of cloud network integration, IPv6 supports the deep integration of new resources such as intelligent cooperation and data computing power at the edge of the cloud network; Second, in the field of IOT, IPv6 supports seamless global coverage and anyone can communicate with anyone anywhere and anytime. Third, in the area of intelligent operation and maintenance, IPv6 supports end-to-end network quality assurance to ensure that cloud requirements for the network are met in enterprise production scenarios. Fourth, in the field of security and reliability, IPv6 supports endogenous security mechanisms, adaptive security frameworks and atomic capabilities of security, security protection, detection and response prediction.
Li Zhenbin, a member of the Internet Architecture Committee (IAB) of the IETF and Huawei’s chief expert on the IP protocol, also points out that, “As the information communication industry moves towards the intelligent connectivity era of IPv6+, the IETF has also gradually carried out various IPv6 standardization work. including IPv6+1.0 (SRv6) standard, IPv6+2.0 (5G&Cloud) standard Important achievements have been made in relevant standards. At this stage, IPv6 provides more different service capabilities. Cloud network and computing network are becoming the main applications of IPv6. Through IPv6 extension and APN and other technologies, customized networks can be implemented and different computing power requirements can be met. In terms of APN6, we have signed a standard manuscript with several operators to successfully promote BOF in IETF, which will be the main direction. future technology innovations and standards creation. In addition, GIP6 general tunnel encapsulation technology based on IPv6 is also gaining more attention. “
After years of implementation and popularity, IPv6 has just entered the golden age of IPv6 evolution. In presenting the development of IPv6 at ETSI, Xie Chongfeng, ISG Vice Chair (IPv6 Enhanced Innovation) at ETSI IPE and senior expert on IPv6 at the Chinese Academy of Telecommunications Research, says that the network infrastructure is multi-domain and multi-scenario. To this end, we must actively promote a multi-domain IPv6-Only network architecture and technical requirements in the form of an industry consensus standard that will help operators, OTT and service and device manufacturers build IPv6-Only networks. Promote network infrastructure towards IPv6 Only.
