What we have done in last year

IPv6 Official kick-off for Thai e-Gov July 27, 2011 All e-Government sectors will be IPv6 ready within 2015

World IPv6 Day Conference, World IPv6 Day Conference, June 8, 2011, Bangkok No. of participants: 300+ A number of CIOs from Gov offices joined To demonstrate (show-case) e-Gov readiness First time, Thai top e- market web, content providers joined, and aware to go on v6

World IPv6 Day in Thailand ThaiRen got ISP v6 Ready Logo, In ThaiRen, IPv6 traffic increased from 2 Mbps to 30 Mbps, In ThaiRen, we saw 3,000 sub-prefixes, In Domestic-X, we saw 18 prefixes from ISPs, E-Gov tested their DNS, and some web services (45% IPv6 hits), Some routing problems, e.g. mis-config, DNS, Security and firewall are issues. 16

Live Demonstration between Japan- Thailand on June 8, 2011 Using SA64T (Stateless Automatic IPv4 over IPv6 Turnelling) 17

CPE for IPv6 supported (CAT Telecom)

CPE v6 (CAT Telecom) The CPE was demon at APNIC 32, Buasan, August 30, 2011

Done!... On June 8, 2011 By CAT Telecom and ToT -> for Thai ISPs By ThaiRen -> connect to R&E Networks 6-to-4 Relay/6rd gateway … done on June 8, Establish IPv6 Domestic Exchange for all Thai ISPs & UniNet

After 2011 Befor e

NEdNet ( ) This project is building their own dark fiber infrastructure, around 24,000 km. To connect: – 300 Thai universities( 1-10 Gbps each), – 415 vocational education units ( Mbps each), and – 3,000 schools ( Mbps each) 22 What are we doing?

UniNet-SP2’s Backbone  Optical Fiber and DWDM Transport,  Backbone Bandwidth  5x10 Gbps LAMDA (50 Gbps) with Protection  Distribution Backbone (provincial Node) Bandwidth  1x10 Gbps Lamda (10 Gbps) Add/Drop  Layer2 and 3 Device  IP and Ethernet Switches All of them are IPv6 Ready

Thai University CIO Conference IPv6Thai University CIO Conference IPv6 Conference June 6, 2011 Around 150 Universities attended

UniNet CIO Conference IPv6UniNet CIO Conference IPv6 Conference IPv6 Moving and Trends in Thai-UniNet, Priority routing will give to IPv6 traffic, Within 2015, most Thai Universities should be IPv6 ready (around 30 universities connected today), Being worked for School net (expanded to 3,000), will be IPv6 network. 25

What are next??

IPv6 World 2012 There will be IPv6 World again in 2012 What we will do: – Pre-kick off, announcement in Mid of May 2012 – e-Gov and companies in Thailand join the test on June 6, 2012 – IPv6 Conference: What we learn on the IPv6 World day

IPv6 in e-Gov e- Gov Ready is targeted in 2015 We are working on mile stone and real achievements in this year, More mechanisms and encouragements are being worked for e-Gov.
