4. Sub-domain Update BGP for IPv4 is completed but only advertised within WIDE. BGP for IPv4 is completed but only advertised within WIDE. Addresses block /27, given by John Barlow from Australia is too insignificant to advertise by ISP. Addresses block /27, given by John Barlow from Australia is too insignificant to advertise by ISP. USM (AS17815) is peering with WIDE IPv6 network (AS4717). USM (AS17815) is peering with WIDE IPv6 network (AS4717). Will try to peer with other AS using IPv6 network.

6. New BGP4+ Peer (In progress…) MANIS has agreed to peer with USM IPv6 network through BGP4+. MANIS has agreed to peer with USM IPv6 network through BGP4+. We are in the process of setting peer with MANIS. We are in the process of setting peer with MANIS. Since USM has no native IPv6 network to MANIS, we will tunnel through TMNet IPv4 network to MANIS. Since USM has no native IPv6 network to MANIS, we will tunnel through TMNet IPv4 network to MANIS.

7. Current NRG Exchange Keio Japan MANIS MEASAT NRG Exchange Fiber CS Network (IPv4 only) (IPv6 only) Tunnel NTU UPM TP JCSAT 3 TMNet (IPv4 Only) AI3 (IPv4 and IPv6) In Progress…

8. Connecting IPv4 Islands to Ipv6 Ocean (1) This proposed project will discuss the ideas, steps and issues involving the transition of supporting IPv4 island through this new migration protocols ( 6to4 and 4to6 ?) An experimental setup will prove the validation of this research
