Taiwan IPv6 Day

Taiwan IPv6 Day
To support World IPv6 Day Trial on June 8 raised by Internet Society to
conduct global IPv6 network testing simultaneously with international
Internet service providers, such as Google and Facebook, TWNIC
invited Taiwan's major Internet access service and Internet content
service providers to jointly hold the Taiwan IPv6 Day campaign. In the
24 hours of June 8, there were a total of 407 IPv6-enabled websites
registered to be tested. The page views of the Taiwan IPv6 Day
website (ipv6day.tw) reached to 30,000. Over 70% of the participants
agreed that the IPv6 connection was very smooth and easy to use,
and looked forward to seeing more IPv6 applications.
Taiwan IPv6 Day Launch Ceremony
The Taiwan IPv6 Day campaign was supported by government
departments including the Ministry of Transportation and
Commu nicat ions, t he Ministr y o f Educ at ion, Na tio n al
Communications Commission and the Research, Development
and Evaluation Commission, Executive Yuan. Moreover, 16
major Internet service providers including Academia Sinica,
National Center for High-Performance Computing, TANet,
Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, So-net Entertainment
Taiwan, APOL, Far EasTone, Google Taiwan, Yahoo! Taiwan,
PChome, Yam, FunTown, Net-Chinese and i-Part attended the
launch ceremony with TWNIC on June 7. The campaign has
shown Taiwan's ability and determination on advancing IPv6
development and deployment.

To promote IPv6 adoption, TWNIC also initiated the IPv6 Seeds
100 Program and recruited 120 trainees during the campaign.
They will attend intensive lecturing and hands-on training
courses for the consecutive 4 days, take exams and earn the
program certificate. In the future, they will have opportunity to
be the teaching assistants in TWNIC IPv6 training courses and
candidates for the technical service team.

Taiwan IPv6 Day Trial Report Summary
According to Taiwan IPv6 Day Trail Report, 36% traffic of Taiwan IPv6 Day website was over IPv6 on June 8.
Visitors from Academia Sinica are all over IPv6 (100%), followed by National Center for High-Performance
Computing (99%), Asia Pacific Telecom (79%), Chunghwa Telecom (35%) and international visitors (27%)
(Figure 2). Public sectors like Academia Sinica, National Center for High-Performance Computing and
TANet have already been IPv6 ready, thus the traffic rate over IPv6 is obviously higher than ISPs. ISPs
haven't been comprehensively IPv6 ready; users may visit IPv6 Day website mainly through the free
program IPv6 Tunnel Broker. Currently, there are nearly 4% Internet users in Taiwan using IPv6. The rate
is similar to other countries in which have been developing IPv6.
Regarding the failure rate over IPv6, about 2.5% users cannot access the IPv6 websites in Taiwan
successfully. It is much higher than the rate over IPv4. The main reasons for failed connections over IPv6
including unstable IPv6 network quality, client firewalls blocking IPv6 traffic, DNS setting errors, webpage
server setting errors and others. To reduce the failure rate over IPv6, ISPs and ICPs may consider
applying the same level of IPv4 business service on IPv6 network monitoring and management measures.
Other issues have also been addressed in the trial, for example, insufficient bandwidth for massive traffic
over IPv6 or less optimized networks over IPv6 between ISPs may cause connection problems as well.
These findings will be helpful for the subsequent IPv6 development.

Continue to Promote TWCERT/CC
and Strengthen Network Security
In April 2009, the National Information & Communication Security Taskforce requested TWNIC to establish
a task force for planning TWCERT/CC's organization reform and future operation. Since then, "Taiwan
Information Security Alliance" and APNOW web site, a interface to accept reports on Internet phishing,
have been formally initiated. Several consultation and working group meetings have also been held to
actively discuss increasingly complicated network security issues in Taiwan. Up until now, there have
been two network security committee meetings of the Alliance, two TWCERT/CC consultation committee
meetings, three phishing working group meetings and one honeynet working group meeting held.
For the future works, TWCERT/CC will focus on further enhancing the APNOW's report process,
expanding report sources, and improving processing time. TWCERT/CCwill also work with the Honeynet
project operators, anti-virus software vendors and ISPs to effectively deal with the serious Botnet problem
in Taiwan. TWCERT/CC will continue to promote technical exchanges and experience sharing among
local and global network security organizations, and publish TWCERT/CC newsletters to strengthen the
concept of network security.

implementing the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) and ISO 9001 Quality
Management System (QMS) to protect the security of the its information assets. Up till now, TWNIC has
gone through several annual reviews and has once again passed this year's annual audit to maintain the
validity of the certificates acquired for these two systems. Conforming to international standards of domain
name registration services and information security risk management, TWNIC expects to provide the
safest and friendliest user-friendly environment and quality services.
Create e-Dreams and Head for New Future
TWNIC held the "Create e-Dreams and
Head for New Future" campus talk in Asia
University, Taichung on May 12, which drew
participation from over 150 students who are
interested in Internet business and operation.
Two renowned website founders, Jerry Kuo,
the CEO of Atlaspost and Yeh Hui-ching, the
Product Manager of iPeen, were invited to
share their business ideas with the students
using their practical experience. They both
emphasized that from time to time a business
TWNIC booth to promote . 台灣 Chinese domain name at Asia University
can only be successful by continuing to have
and carry out its core values. These two well-known websites are not only very creative in their sharing
concepts and services in the beginning of their businesses, but also have unique management patterns.
TWNIC's Domain Name Service Department Director Gene Ku also presented at the talk and emphasized
the importance of choosing a good domain name. A good domain name, which is easy to remember and
matches the company/brand names or products, will allow Internet users to easily and directly visit the
website.
