On May 2nd, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Implementing the Action Plan for Promoting the Scale Deployment of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The "Notice" proposed that 21 initiatives will be launched in 6 areas to implement the IPv6 plan, and that by the end of 2018, the number of mobile Internet IPv6 users will be no less than 50 million, of which no less than 10 million users of China Telecom, China Mobile No less than 30 million users and no less than 10 million users of China Unicom.

The "Notice" proposes to implement the end-to-end IPv6 transformation of the LTE network. By the end of 2018, the basic telecom companies completed the nationwide LTE core network, access network, bearer network, and business operation support systems, and implemented IPv6 transformation and opened IPv6 service bearer functions to allocate IPv6 addresses for mobile terminal user data services, providing end-to-end IPv6 access channel; basic telecom companies complete the IPv6 transformation of the portal website and online business website; promote the factory default configuration of new production mobile terminals to support the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, and gradually promote the opening of IPv6 functions through the system software upgrade of existing mobile terminals, and basic telecommunications The mobile terminals customized by enterprises and centralized procurement should fully support IPv6; by the end of the first quarter of 2019, all basic telecommunications companies have completed the inter-working of the top 10 mobile Internet application system servers of LTE networks and other basic telecommunication enterprise users. Selected 30 App IPv6 cross-network access.

Accelerate the transformation of fixed network infrastructure IPv6. By the end of 2018, complete the IPv6 transformation of the Internet backbone direct links in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu, and open up the interconnection bandwidth of IPv6 networks to not less than 1Tbps. By the end of 2020, complete the IPv6 transformation of all Internet backbone direct links. The interconnection bandwidth between the opened IPv6 networks is not less than 5 Tbps; the basic telecommunication enterprise completes the metropolitan area network and access network IPv6 transformation and opens the IPv6 service bearer function, allocates IPv6 addresses for fixed broadband users, and provides IPv6-based private line services to government and enterprise customers. It also introduced corresponding tariff concessions; promoted new production of home gateways, enterprise gateways, routers, and other fixed terminals supporting IPv6 and the default configuration supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks; fixed terminals customized by basic telecommunications companies and centralized procurement should fully support IPv6; At the end of the third quarter of 2018, basic telecom companies upgraded their business operations support systems, established an operation and maintenance management system and business management processes for IPv6 services, and had the capabilities of IPv6 user statistics, traffic statistics, and acceptance, opening, and maintenance of IPv6 services. .

The "Notice" also proposes to promote the application infrastructure IPv6 transformation. Basic telecommunications companies and data center operators should complete the IPv6 transformation of data center internal networks and export equipment, support IPv6 service access and bearer, and by the end of 2018, the three major operators complete the transformation of the ultra-large data center IPv6, the national supercomputing Guangzhou. Data centers such as the Center have completed the transformation of IPv6 to provide users with IPv6-based Internet data center services. Data centers that have been newly put into production since 2018 should support IPv6, and by the end of 2020, all large-scale data center operating companies have completed IPv6 transformation; by 2018 At the end of the year, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and other content distribution networks completed the IPv6 transformation of the content distribution network; the three major operators' cloud service platforms that provide services to the public completed 50% of cloud product IPv6 transformation, and Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and other cloud service platform companies completed 50% cloud product IPv6 transformation, by the end of 2020, the above-mentioned enterprises complete all IPv6 transformation of cloud products; the three major operators complete the IPv6 transformation of the recursive domain name resolution server, and the enterprises such as Wanwang and Xinwang interconnection complete the IPv6 transformation and build the domain name registration. Analyze and manage full-chain IPv6 support capabilities.

The government website IPv6 transformation and industrial Internet IPv6 application were carried out. Promoting the transformation of the industrial and information system portal IPv6. By the end of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology completed the renovation of the portal site IPv6. By the end of 2019, the subordinate units, subordinate universities and provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities will complete the portal IPv6 transformation; Industry and key industrial enterprises have carried out the transformation of the industrial Internet IPv6 network, innovated the practice of industrial Internet applications, and established the industrial Internet IPv6 standard system.

Strengthen IPv6 network security. Strengthen IPv6 network security management, incorporate the security protection of IPv6 related network infrastructure and application infrastructure into the security protection system of telecommunications and Internet networks; do a good job of upgrading IPv6 network security safeguard measures; support the development of industrial Internet and IoT under IPv6 network environment Research on cyber security technologies and management mechanisms in emerging areas such as , artificial intelligence, etc.

With regard to the implementation of supporting safeguard measures, the “Notice” requires strengthening the organization and leadership, establishing a collaborative working mechanism, setting up a special promotion working group, and implementing the main responsibilities of each basic telecommunication enterprise group company in assessing the performance of provincial (sub) branches. In addition, the completion of IPv6-related tasks should also be taken as an important assessment indicator; strengthen standardized management, and explicitly request IPv6-related information when the Internet information service is filed. Operational enterprises such as data centers and content distribution networks provide IPv6 support when submitting annual reports. Relevant regulations: Revised the relevant regulations for network equipment testing of telecommunications equipment, and defined the detection requirements for IPv6 when the network and terminal equipment are connected to the network. To strengthen supervision and evaluation, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will establish an expert team for IPv6 inspection work and will regularly organize special inspections jobs.
