Network Configuration

ILS bandwidth of 7 Mbps (CBR) and 25 Mbps (VBR-nrt). SingAREN has a PoP in San Jose to aggregate all its US traffic. PoP provides control over the amount and type of in-bound traffic entering SingAREN’s 32Mbps

international link. US local connections to StarTAP & Abilene at 45 Mbps & 155 Mbps respectively.

IPv6 Project

IPv6 Configuration

International IPv6 connectivity- 6TAP, Abilene, Korea NGIX, MIMOS

IPv6 Architecture - using a dual stack Cisco 7505 router running IOS 12.2T

Peering- SingAREN provides peering services using BGP4+. - Native IPv6 peers: 6TAP, Abilene, APAN (Korea) - Tunnelled IPv6 peers: 6NGIX, MIMOS, ICR, SoC

IPv6 address - assigned with 3FFE:1600::/24 (6BONE) & 2001:208::/35 (global) - pseudo TLA and sub TLA for Singapore.

IPv6 Configuration

IPv6 Project

To introduce and spearhead the deployment of IPv6 technologies.

Key objectives: Provide native IPv6 internet connectivity and service to the IPv6

community by deploying an IPv6 exchange point.

Gain IPv6 deployment experience by deploying an IPv6 infrastructure and services.

Design and implement IPv6 transition service for the integration of IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Develop an IPv6 deployment model for campus network and service provider.

IPv6 Project

Deployment of Singapore IPv6 Internet Exchange (SIX) Provide connectivity to IPv6 internet Interconnect other IPv6 nodes. Existing tunneled nodes can migrate to native IPv6 connection New IPv6 nodes interconnect at the SIX via tunneling or direct IPv6

connection. SingAREN assign IPv6 address to participating nodes. Nodes can participate/contribute to the development/ deployment/testing

of IPv6 technologies/solutions.

Deployment of IPv6 network and services Internet services (DNS, web, ftp, etc) to service the IPv6 community at

SIX

IPv6 Project

Proposed Singapore IPv6 Internet Exchange (SIX)

Future Directions

Future Directions

Role of SingAREN as R&E network service provider Rising need for R&E bandwidth – cheaper bandwidth? Separation of experimental facility from more reliable

production facility Activities in life sciences will significantly increase

demand for bandwidth Challenges and opportunities for optical networks Challenges and opportunities with seamless wireless

connectivity
