Project of Joint Research on IPv6 Network Management: Research Development and Demonstration
Supported by the National Key Research and Development Program “Strategic International Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Project” ” Joint Research on IPv6 Network Management: Research, Development and Demonstration “, has joined 23 interdisciplinary research institutions in 14 countries to form the largest international research team in cyberspace governance. Most of the team are from “Belt and Road Initiative ” countries and will greatly improve the research cooperation in the Belt and Road countries.
Aimed to establish mutual trust and cooperative governance in IPv6 network, the project is divided into six tasks: “Collaborative Governance Architecture Model for IPv6 Cyberspace”, “Active Measurement of IPv6 Network with Massive Address Space”, “Passive Measurement of High-speed IPv6 Network”, “IPv6 International Inter-Network Threat Tracing”, “New Rules for International Cooperative Governance on IPv6 Cyberspace”, “Demonstration of IPv6 Cyberspace Collaborative Governance”.
APNIC ISIF Project: Developing a Collaborative BGP Routing Analyzing and Diagnosing Platform (the 1st and the 2nd phases)
BGP is the key infrastructure of the Internet, this collaborative work by NRENs (National Research and Education Network) in Asia Pacific region is very important for enhancing the NRENs’ capacity of network operation and measurement in this region. The team members of this proposal are NREN organizations and several research universities.
The goal of this project is to collaborate with all possible NREN partners to establish a distributed BGP routing monitoring and looking glass probing platform in Asia Pacific region, monitoring the network operation status from the control plane and the data plane in the meantime.
The proposal received formal approval from APNIC in December 2021, with the contract execution completed in January 2022. The project was officially launched on February 24, 2022. Initial partner engagement was carried out through bilateral meetings with National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) during March and April 2022, resulting in the participation of 20 organizations representing 19 countries and economies across the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.
The second phase of the initiative, titled “An Extension of the Ongoing Project ‘Developing a Collaborative BGP Routing Analyzing and Diagnosing Platform’”, is scheduled from December 6, 2023, to June 5, 2025. This phase has significantly expanded the project’s global footprint, now involving over 35 organizations from 27 countries and economies across five continents.
