Chapter 725 IPv6 Network

Yang Xing and the experts at the meeting agreed that at present, at least the minimum requirement is to ensure that domestic sites are resolved by domestic domain name servers. In this way, even if the United States terminates the resolution of Chinese domain names in the worst case, although foreign users can no longer connect to my country's network, my country can solve the problem of domain name resolution in China by itself. Even if the country becomes a large local area network, it is better than letting the Internet collapse completely.

Of course, this is just a treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause. In addition to establishing an independent technical domain name root server, the ultimate goal of China is to actively plan and make a difference in the next generation of Internet technology. At least we cannot be led by the US network technology standards. This hope is placed on the ipv6 network protocol, which is the abbreviation of intercomprotocolversion6, where intercomprotocol is translated as "Internet Protocol", which is commonly referred to as IP address. ipv6 is designed by ietf (Internet Engineering Task Group) and formulates globally common standards, mainly used to replace the current version of IP protocol (IPV4).

IP is a protocol designed for the interconnection of computer networks for communication. In the Internet, it can enable all computer networks connected to the Internet to achieve mutual communication, and stipulates the rules that computers should abide by when communicating on the Internet. Any computer system produced by a manufacturer can be interconnected and interconnected with the Internet as long as it complies with the IP protocol, which has also played a great role in promoting the birth and popularization of personal computers.

There is a very important content in the IP protocol, that is, every computer and other devices on the Internet has a unique address called "ip address". Because of this unique address, users can efficiently and conveniently select the objects they need from thousands of computers when operating on the connected computer. The current version number of the Internet is ipv4, and the IPv6 protocol, as the name implies, is its next generation version.

The first generation of Internet IPV4 we use is completely formulated by the United States. The core technology also belongs to the United States. Its biggest problem is that the network address resources are limited. In the early days of the development of the Internet, many developers did not expect the Internet to develop so quickly. The Internet address scheme was created 40 years ago. At that time, the IPV4 protocol used only had 32-bit addresses, and it supports up to 4.3 billion devices to connect directly to the Internet. But now the development of the Internet has long exceeded this number, so that technology has been developed for many people to use an IP address, or a host has a proxy for many IP addresses.

With the development of electronic and network technology, the Internet has connected thousands of ordinary people and become a part of people's daily lives. This also means that everything around you has the need to connect to the global Internet, and the number of IPV4 address resources is limited. In addition, because Internet technology originated from Western countries such as the United States and Europe, there are also great differences in IPV4 regions, including North America, reaching 3 billion, and Asia with the largest population is less than 400 million. Many American companies have a large number of unused IPV4 addresses. Before many people realize that IPV4 will become so precious, they save a large number of IPV4 addresses, which causes a lot of waste.

Based on the current situation, it is optimistic that the IP address will be used up around 2010. This forces countries around the world to solve this problem immediately. The easiest and quickest way is undoubtedly to upgrade the system and adopt the new IPv6 protocol. In terms of order of magnitude, IPv6 uses a 128-bit address. It can support an almost unlimited number of devices, which is astronomical 2 to the power of 128. This not only solves the problem of the number of network address resources, but also clears the obstacles to the number limit for devices other than computers to connect to the Internet.

ipv6 claims to give an IP address to every sand on the earth. If ipv4 only realizes human-computer dialogue, while ipv6 extends the Internet to dialogue between arbitrary things, it can not only serve humans, but also serve many hardware devices, such as household appliances, sensors, remote cameras, cars, etc. It will form a real broadband network that is everywhere and everywhere and penetrates into every corner of society, and the economic benefits will be huge.

ipv6 actually coincides with the concept of Internet of Things promoted by Yang Xing, so of course he needs to promote it vigorously. He has frequently made arrangements at home and abroad in recent years, in order to gain the competitive advantage before the maturity of the next generation of network technology as soon as possible. In this life, the international Internet landscape has undergone great changes. Although domestic Internet companies have caught up in the past life, domestic Internet users have surpassed the United States in the first decade of the 20th century, they often lack originality in providing basic Internet content, and often copy the creativity of similar American websites, such as Google corresponds to Baidu, Facebook corresponds to Renren, youtube corresponds to Youku, Twitter corresponds to Sina Weibo, etc., and are ridiculed as imitating the great power.

Yang Xing has a rebirth weapon in this life. The most satisfactory plagiarism is not just one or two popular songs and film and television dramas, but rather putting forward advanced Internet creativity into practice. Due to his existence, Xingdong Network's various services launched by instant messaging, community dating, search engines, online multimedia sharing and downloading, online application stores, and e-commerce have all led the technological trend. Even in the context of the bursting of the global Internet bubble, they did not take any detours, and stifled the above American websites in the cradle. Their creativity has long become a service brand under Xingdong Network. Not only has it become the leader of Chinese Internet companies, but it has also brought great pressure to American peers.

But it is undeniable that as the birthplace of the Internet and the gathering place for various innovative ideas, no country can match the United States in terms of generating Internet content. In addition to StarDrive Network, according to any international organization survey, American websites account for half of the top ten most popular websites on the Internet. StarDrive Network may be a tiger, but it cannot stop a group of wolves from surrounding them!

What's more, many American "democratic and human rights defenders" regard the Internet as their best position for spreading free and democratic speech. With the advantage of the United States in mastering the international Internet domain name root server, they criticize other countries' Internet policies. If they have slight control, they are accused of being dictatorial and closed. In order to enter the US market, Yang Xing also delivered a speech against his will at a congressional hearing, saying that Internet companies would serve to spread democratic and free speech. Even so, some right-wing elements are still very allergic to the Chinese imprint of Xingdong Network and often incite public opinion to threaten Xingdong Network to bravely stand up against the Chinese government's censorship and cannot give up political demands for commercial interests.

Of course, Yang Xing would not do such a thing, but there is no good way to do it. He can only use the name of business behavior and politics to resist it. However, if the country can make progress on the domain name root server and the next generation of IPV6 Internet, and can set up more companies that can resist the hegemony of the United States, the situation he has struggled to support will definitely improve a lot. This is the principle that we must lay a solid foundation and weave the Internet well first.

Since the IPv6 protocol was also proposed by the Americans, they have come to the forefront in this regard, and it is not too late to understand this in China. In order to completely change the situation where my country's first generation of Internet lags behind people, seize the opportunity of the development of the next generation of Internet, and gain the opportunity for development, relevant Chinese researchers began research on the next generation of Internet in the late 1990s. In 1998, not long after the United States proposed the IPv6 protocol, my country began its first attempt to build an IPv6 experimental network.

In 2001, with the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of my country, NFCcom, the first next-generation Internet regional test network, was built and passed the acceptance in Beijing. In the same year, 57 academicians wrote to the State Council, proposing that we should take advantage of the rare opportunity of the development of the next-generation Internet, launch our next-generation Internet projects as soon as possible, accelerate the research and construction of the next-generation Internet, and occupy the commanding heights of the next-generation Internet.

With the financial and technical sponsorship of Yang Xing, the rebirth person, China's Next Generation Internet Demonstration Project (CNG) project was led by the National Development and Reform Commission, and was jointly launched in 2002 by eight ministries and commissions including the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other eight ministries and commissions. The project was jointly supported by eight ministries and commissions, and was undertaken by five national telecom operators and education research networks, more than 100 universities and research units, and dozens of equipment manufacturers. It involves tens of thousands of people participating, and cooperation in industry, academia, research and application. This is the first time in the history of China's communication network technology engineering construction, and has a profound impact on the development of my country's next generation Internet technology and industry.

After one year of trial operation, the cngi core network has basically completed construction and experiments. The cngi core network consists of six backbone networks, two international exchange centers and corresponding transmission links. The six backbone networks are interconnected by international exchange centers in Beijing and Shanghai. All six domestic backbone networks, including international exchange centers, have completed acceptance.

CNGI Core Network is currently the largest IPV6 experimental network in the world. It has achieved a series of technical achievements with independent intellectual property rights, formed 4 national standards and more than 10 Chinese communication industry standards. More importantly, it has applied for 9 Internet standards drafts from the Internet standard organization IETF, and has been approved. This is also the first time that my country has entered the field of core Internet standards and has its own international Internet standards.

It is precisely with such a foundation that China dares to make efforts in the field of domain name servers and proposes to develop independent technical domain name root servers based on the IPV6 standard, which is no longer subject to others. As the leader of Nebula Electronics, a leading company in the domestic electronics industry, and Zhongxing, the parent company of Xingdong Network, the world's largest Internet service provider, Yang Xing's attitude undoubtedly played an important role in the meeting, so many people at the meeting were looking forward to Yang Xing's speech...rt!~!
