At a US Congressional hearing on upgrading the Internet to IPv6 held a few days ago, many people said that Asian countries are enthusiastic about using IPv6 technology and have even surpassed the United States in this field.
Thomas M. Davis III, chairman of the U.S. Government Reform Commission, said: "Asian countries are very positive in adopting IPv6 technology because they are only allocated to 9% of IPv4 network addresses, but their total population accounts for more than half of the world." He emphasized in particular that Asian governments have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in IPv6 technology. Compared with IPv4 technology, IPv6 technology has greatly improved the number of network addresses and security.
Jawad Khaki, Microsoft's vice president, said Japan, China, India and South Korea are all working to promote the development of the next generation of Internet technology. For example, in 2000, Japan designated IPv6 technology as one of the country's top priorities, and the Japanese government provided a lot of support for the upgrading of network technology. He said: "We expect Japan's IPv6 network to be commercialized in the next few years. This new network can support tens of millions of broadband users." Cassie also said that the Indian and *s are also promoting the development of IPv6 technology through various forms.
According to Cassie, Microsoft's Windows XP operating system released in October 2001 has added the developer preview version of IPv6, and Microsoft's next-generation operating system Longhorn will be fully compatible with IPv6. Cassie revealed that Microsoft is currently testing Longhorn's compatibility with IPv6 internally. "In internal testing, we have the opportunity to deploy and run IPv4 and IPv6 technologies on the company's network at the same time, which also enables our products and services to be fully tested before launch," he said.
Cassie said at the hearing that Microsoft is stepping up the development of security technologies in a hybrid environment of IPv4 and IPv6. He said: "In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, even if IPv6 is enabled on the network, many applications and services can only be called through IPv4. In this case, existing IPv4-based security mechanisms will continue to protect IPv4 network transmission." Karen Evans, a representative of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, believes that most current operating systems already support IPv6, and many routers and switches can also achieve IPv6 support through internal upgrades.
