IPv6提速产业化

The Industrialization of IPv6 is Speeding Up

IPv6自1995年被IETF首次提出后,在全球范围内一直受到普遍关注.尤其随着IPv6协议的各项技术和商用实验网构架的逐渐成熟,进行大范围全面推进IPv6的商业化部署成为IPv6发展的又一个重点.如何在各地区成功部署IPv6?如何成功推动IPv6的产业化和商业化进程?

Since IPv6 was firstly raised by IETF in 1995, it has received more and more attention in the whole world as time goes on. Telecom carriers have followed the development of IPv6 and changed a lot since its early stage. Today, you will find a fact that most telecom operators, in China or in abroad, are no longer running their business on voice traffic only, although the voice traffics remain the big part of their revenues. They have invested a lot in the IP services and mobile services. They try their best to modernize their infrastructures to support new services. We should say that those telecom carriers who wish to catch up the markets, have never failed to pay attention to the new services, even during their 'winter time'. Especially with the relative technologies and commercially experimential networks of IPv6 becoming more and more mature, promoting its industrilization and commercialization in the whole world turns to be another key point of its development. But on the other hand, telecom operators will look very carefully at the tradeoffs between the investments and the expected revenues from the new services. This observation will also apply to the implementation of IPv6. As we all know, without market no new technology would be accepted or be developed well. So that how to deploy IPv6 and to find its killer application become more and more important and practical for IPv6 itself, in particular in China. With the coming of Global IPv6 Summit in China 2003, experts in this field from all countries will assemble in Beijing to show their newest product, operation, project and idea on IPv6. According to their opinions, deploying IPv6 in China will create a new thinking and approach in how to deploy new applications in the sectors that have not yet joined the Internet. Sectors like the home appliances, sensor technologies, transportation sectors ( Intelligent transport systems), the gaming sector, the entertainment, the mobile services and networks and all Peer-2-Peer applications freshly designed in view of the file sharing boom on the Internet will be introduced in the summit. We CTT (China Telecommunications Trade) communicates with several authorities ( including Mr. Houiin Zhao the director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau of International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Mr. Ladif Ladid president of IPv6 Forum, and Mr. Liu Dong president&CEO of Beijing internet Institute ) in advance about IPv6's industrilization and commercialization. And it is generally thought that with the promoting of IPv6's industrilization and commercialization, more commercial opportunities for telecom carriers will appear before telecom carriers.
