Introduction
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is an international, graduate level research university dedicated to inspiring a new age of scientific achievement to benefit Saudi Arabia and beyond. The University is committed to advance science and technology through transdisciplinary research in the globally significant areas of energy, water, food, and environment.
The 6.5-million-square-foot campus is an architectural icon situated along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, 80 km north of Jeddah. The University is the first LEED® certified project in Saudi Arabia and the largest LEED® Platinum project in the world.
The University’s nine Research Centers and six Core Labs support the research of faculty, graduate students, and the broader research community. A unique matrix structure of Research Centers and focused programs stimulates transdisciplinary research to leverage the Kingdom’s unique resources, to serve the needs of Saudi Arabia and the region, and to help forge the future of the global economy and industries.RESEARCH CENTERS

Introduction - continued
The Red Sea Research Center has both the immediate access to reefs and world-class facilities, making it perfectly situated to develop an integrated understanding of coral reef ecosystems and their oceanographic context.
The University is home to the world’s largest
whale shark tagging
program, being conducted in the Red Sea near Thuwal and Al Lith.
In addition to an audio studio and multi-purpose room, the Visualization Lab includes a Mechdyne-built CAVE, creating the world’s highest resolution
and brightest virtual environment.
An iconic part of campus, the Campus Library is more than just a place to house periodicals. This contemporary building encased in translucent stone engages light to create a tranquil space for people to gather, think, and learn. It’s distinctive architecture won the 2011 AIA/ALA Library Building Award given by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Library Association (ALA).
The Student Center is a one-stop spot for many student-related services to support academic, personal, and professional development.

Q&A
Definitions
Dual Stack: A technique that allows IPv4 and IPv6 to coexist on the same interfaces.
LDPv6: IPv6 label Distribution Protocol. 6PE:IPv6 on Provider Edge is a technique by which IPv6 domains communicate with each other over an IPv4 cloud without explicit tunnel setup, requiring only one IPv4 address per IPv6 domain.
6VPE:IPV6 on VPN to Provider Edge is a technique that allows carrying IPv6 in a VPN fashion over a non-IPv6-aware MPLS core. It also allows IPv4 or IPv6 communities to communicate with each other over an IPv4 MPLS backbone without modifying the core infrastructure.
