IPv6 on INTL campus
The campus network (including cable network and wireless network "ZJUWLAN") have already enabled IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack, we have enabled IPv6 to access China's next generation Internet project CERNET2 (The China Education and Research Network 2) through the Zhejiang University campus network.
What is IPv6?
IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP) address standard that will supplement and eventually replace IPv4. At present, the Internet uses the IPv4 protocol, its address is 32-bit code, can provide IP address of about 40 million, and it has been basically allocated.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), the address is 128 bit, can provide a total of nearly 340 trillion IP addresses. Examples of IPv6 addresses are as follows: 2001:0:9d38:6ab8:1414:ce05:4862:5dbd
What is CERNET2?
CERNET2 (The China Education and Research Network 2) is China's next generation of Internet Projects. CNGI is the largest core network and the only national academic network, it is the world's largest pure IPv6 network support the next generation of Internet backbone until now.
The International Campus, Zhejiang University is committed to rolling out IPv6 connectivity for campus researchers and students. ITS has been working to:
- Enable our Core Network for IPv6 connectivity.
- Manage the existing IPv6 addresses assigned to the university.
- Develop a plan for rolling these out over time.
- Assist units with setting up IPv6 connections, as not all devices provide the tools to connect seamlessly.
For the detail steps to setup IPv6 on your computer, check this document.
