An active community in the Asia and Pacific region. Here we discuss, deploy, configure, troubleshoot and most important we use IPv6 Multicast for various activities such as Meeting, conferences, remote data transmission.

In spite of above we have set the following goals

            - Monthly IPv6 Multicast testing on TEIN on first Wednesday of every month
            - Status of IPv6 Multicast on domestic NRENs,
            - Status of new members,
            - Domestic IPv6 Multicast Status for NRENs,
            - Placement of persistent running tools


We have adopted IPv6 in Multicast. There are well known reasons (as below).

IPv6 is not widely deployed even if it is, then it is not in use much

  • When compared to IPv4, IPv6 has a much simpler packet header structure -- IPv6 Processing at Router is faster
  • IPv6 offers automatic configuration
  • You can assign Multiple ipv6 addresses on single interface
  • IPSec inclusion in IPv6 as a separate protocol
  • IPv6 with its large address space no longer requires NAT and can ensure true end-to-end connectivity. This means peer-to-peer applications like VoIP or streaming media can work very effectively and efficiently with IPv6.
