Hitachi’s activity about IPv6 (1) Hitachi has been developed IPv6 routers for 5 years. Early stage (1996-1997) interoperability testing in UNH. Hitachi NR60 router, a frontier product of IPv6.
– IPv4, IPv6, BGP4+, IPv4-IPv6 Protocol translation, IPsec etc. Toolnet6 is distributed as free software by Hitachi.
– Driver software to support IPv6 on Windows95/98 PCs. IETF contribution. e.g. RFC2767(Bump-in-the-Stack). A member of KAME project. A member of IPv6 Forum

IPv6 Software for Windows (Toolnet6)• A tool Software to use existing Windows(R) applications over IPv6.
• Enhancement on Network Interface Card driver software
• Free distribution from Hitachi home page http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Prod/comp/network/pexv6-j.htm

Hitachi’s activity about IPv6 (2) Gigabit router GR2000 IPv6 software has been released fo
r trial networks.– More than 50 units of GR2000 are used in IPv6 networks
Highlight: Networld + Interop 2000 TOKYO.– At the Showcase Network, connecting with MicroSoft, Cisco etc.
– GR2000 was used as a IPv6 external router.
– The grand prize in the section of carrier infrastructure construction product.

GR2000 (Current: IPv4+IPv6) Software Upgrade Solution for early adopters
• IPv4 packets are forwarded by Hitachi proprietary hardware.
•Main Processor forward IPv6 packets
• IPv6 forwarding is based on software with some hardware logic.
• No performance penalty to IPv4 network• Low cost to start for early adopters with investment protection
• Flexibility to add IPv6 additional functions

Issues: for the next stage “Always-on” explosion will come 2002-2003 Mobile
-phone (with video data), World-Wide-Wireless– Broadband video-data stream on IPv6 network
What happen ? What need ? (to routers)– High speed forwarding and QoS, like IPv4 or more!
– High speed Security
– High speed load balancing for huge “Internet Data Center”
Hitachi has started development for the next stage, “B to H” concept data-center router.
– Broadband to Home– Business to Home

What is difference between “B to C” and “B to H”
Just my definition,
B to C (IPv4 based):– Consumers intentionally access the Internet. e.g.”trading”– Access traffic is not so heavy, even if “Always-on”.– Almost consumers will be moderate to access the Internet.
B to H (IPv6 and “Always-on” based):– Almost people access the Internet without intention of
“network access”. e.g.”TV watching”,”Bi-directional game”– Sometimes, tremendous traffic will be generated.– Some people may make damage on the network system with
a malicious intent.

As a member of the “Super Internet Project”
“Super Internet Project” is one of Japanese government projects for IT strategy.– anyone,anytime,anywhere,as much as ... – MPT/TAO project
As a member of the “Super Internet Project”, Hitachi has started to develop new router technology for the B to H “System-oriented requirement”.
Also, Hitachi has already started to develop router enhancement for the “Fundamental requirement” as a high speed router vender.

Conclusion Hitachi has been one of the leaders of IPv6 developm
ent and deployment community. More than 50 units of GR2000 have already been use
d in our customer trial networks. Hitachi has started to development for the next stage of IPv6, especially router technology for “B to H” concept network.
Thank you !
