IPv6

PREGINET project conducts R&D in IPv6 to make itself and the Philippines ready for the Next-Generation Internet Protocol.

The team is pursuing the adoption of IPv6 in the Philippines through advocacy work, building partnerships with network providers and universities, and by continuously building competency in the technology.

ASTI is implementing the project on Building a Philippine IPv6 Network, with University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, Central Visayas Information Sharing Network (CVISNET), and Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) as the pilot sites

IPv6

Other IPv6 Activities:

Obtained IPv6 address block allocation from Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC) – the first IPv6 allocation given to a Philippine-based network;

Research on IPv6 Network Management with focus on tools for monitoring and characterizing the IPv6 network;

Conducted an IPv6 Demonstration during the 28th AIC Conference in Manila and an IPv6 Tutorial during the 3rd National ECE Conference; and

Conducted five (5) IPv6 Workshops at the UP-EEE, ASTI, and APC with a total of 109 participants




Network MeasurementsPREGINET monitors the network and develops tools and systems necessary to maintain the efficiency and reliability of the PREGINET network.

A fully-functional web-based NetMon system was developed. It has the ff. components:

Network Weather Map/MRTG/MRTGViewer Remote Network Monitoring and Control via

SMS Trouble Ticketing System with SMS Routers & Servers Flow-based Traffic

Monitoring

http://noc.asti.dost.gov.ph

Network Applications

Installed Ganesha and Greenstone for testing, evaluation and uploading of content (team decided to focus on Greenstone)

Development of OAI-based systems

Consulted with prospective partner institutions on the Digital Library initiatives of

PREGINET

Coordinated efforts with SCINET (Philippines’ Science Information Network)



Multimedia over IP

• Conducted videoconferencing sessions and demonstrations with PREGINET, AI3, APAN and SingaREN research partners

• Part of VideNet, a global virtual network for multimedia applications over IP

Multimedia over IP• Some Updates on UDLR and SOI Setup

• UDLR:

– *upgraded OS to FreeBSD 4.7 last month

– *installed SNMP 4.2.1 and is now being linked or monitored by the Network Monitoring server of PREGINET

• SOI-SERVER:

– *upgraded the OS to RedHat 7.3

– *upgraded the kernel (kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x.i386.rpm)

– *installed the USAGI software
