JGN IPv6 Network

To cope with the various problems arising from Internet protocol such as scarcity of IP addresses in the Internet and increase in the number of paths, research and development has been conducted on IP version 6 (IPv6) as a next generation Internet technology. Telecommunications Advancement Organization (TAO) has upgraded Japan’s nation-wide Gigabit Network (JGN: Japan Gigabit Network) to be compatible with IP version 6 (IPv6) as a wide-area network that can accommodate next generation Internet technologies of a world class. That is, access points capable of providing IPv6 services are deployed in 47 locations across Japan including 28 router installation sites. With this deployment, an IPv6 network has been developed enabling the execution of various verification and operation experiments, such as early transition of the network from IPv4 to IPv6 and the debagging of developed products in order to be compatible with IPv6. In addition, IPv6 interoperability evaluation laboratories h...
