Taiwan IPv6 Day Starts the New
Internet Era
Facing the challenge of IPv4 exhaustion, TWNIC joined
"World IPv6 Day" trial program and held "Taiwan IPv6 Day"
event on June 8 to invite the local Internet communities to
join the program. TWNIC worked with major Internet service
providers, including Chunghwa Telecom, Far Eastone, Taiwan Cellular
Corporation, APOL, SONET, TISNET, Net-Chinese, TANet, National
Center for High-Performance Computing, Academia Sinica, Yahoo!
Taiwan, yam.com, FunTown and i-Part to invite users to experience services provided
by IPv6 websites, so as to accelerate the transition of various Internet services to IPv6
networks.
On April 15, 2011, Asia Pacific Network Information Centre formally announced that "the
APNIC pool reached the Final /8 IPv4 address block, bringing us to Stage Three of IPv4
exhaustion in the Asia Pacific", and encouraged its members to act on IPv6. TANet, ISPs and
government network have all already been actively deploying and testing IPv6 in Taiwan.
National Information and Communications Initiative (NICI) has also mastered relevant
situations to the exhaustion of IPv4 and invited all government departments and agencies
to address them. All e-government websites will also provide IPv6 services. Therefore, the
entire Taiwan's Internet communities will be able to steadily move forward to IPv4 and IPv6
co-existence environment.
To support "Taiwan IPv6 Day" event, the ISPs and ICPs have been actively involved in the
preparation works. Users are encouraged to connect to IPv6 network and will be given the
chance to win prizes as long as long as they connect to and visit the Taiwan IPv6 Day event
website on June 8. For those encountering IPv6-related problems during the event, there will
be technical experts on site to provide assistance. For more information on Taiwan IPv6 Day,

TWNIC-accredited Registrars Support IPv6 in DNS Hosting
Services
To enable higher integrity in the IPv6 environment and allow users to use IPv6 resolution
smoothly without setting up DNS by themselves, TWNIC has worked with its registrars to
open up value-added domain name services, such as DNS hosting or web-page redirection
to support IPv6 setups. At the present stage, AAAA records is now available for IPv6 setup in
the DNS hosting service as it is more commonly used by users. In the future, DNS settings
in either .tw or . 台灣 domain names will be comprehensively upgraded to support IPv4/IPv6
dual stack.
2010 Taiwan ISP Yearbook Published
TWNIC has published Taiwan ISP Yearbook each year since
2002, and 2011 has been the 10th year. On March 25th,
TWNIC published "2010 Taiwan ISP Yearbook", introducing
detailed information on the current status of Taiwan's Internet
service business, infrastructures and future development
trends of various Internet technologies. It also provides indepth reports especially on the up-to-date IPv6 deployment
status in the industrial and academia fields in Taiwan and the
most popular topic of mobile Internet at present.
"IDN. 台灣 " Chinese Domain Names Make Websites More EyeCatching
". 台灣 " Chinese domain names mean that users can directly type in Chinese domain names
on the address bar to visit websites, such as 交通部 . 台灣 , 台網中心 . 台灣 or 盧彥勳 . 台灣 .
They can be named using company names, personal names or nicknames in Chinese, and can
also be combined with promoted products or services to impress consumers. ". 台灣 " Chinese
domain names are very suitable for managing the Chinese-speaking market. They are simple
and easy to memorize, and more effective to be used for promoting products or services.
It is very advantageous to apply for Chinese domains, with which users can directly find their
own websites better than with search engines. Besides, ". 台灣 " Chinese domain names are
interoperable in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. After a registered ". 台 灣 " Chinese
domain name is activated, the corresponding ".tw" Chinese domain name will be automatically
acquired.
Legally registered companies or legal/natural persons can register ". 台灣 " Chinese domain
names on a first-come, first-served basis. Online registration is available at any TWNICaccredited registrars.
