CERNET topology
CERNET is an IPv6 network, which went operational today. China has a smaller IPv4 address space allocation than MIT has. Updates as I think of them.

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

EBW, is this the first IPv6 in China? I thought it would have been earlier than now.

Heavens no. This is just the first national production network that is v6-only.

There are 13 sites in China on the 6bone:
BII: BII Group Holdings Ltd IPv6 Testbed, Tunnel connection welcomed
CE-EXPR: Student IPv6 Experiment Network, of the CERNET IPv6 Testbed=20, in Central China
CERNET: China Education and Research NETwork, CERNET IPv6 Testbed
CERNIC: China Education and Research Network Information Center
CSTNET: Chinese Scientific and Technoloy NETwork & Chinese Network Information Center
EASTN-CN: China Education and Research NETwork IPv6 Testbed, East China ( North ) Region
EN-EXPR: East China(North) student experiment ipv6 network,in USTC
NE-EXPR: Northeast China student experiment ipv6 network,in DUT, NETWORK CENTER DUT Dalian Liaoning China
NO-EXPR: CERNET North China for experiment use
NOKIA-CHINA: Nokia China R&D Center
NORTHE-CN: Chinese Education and Research Network, Northeast Regional IPv6 Testbed
NW-EXPR: CERNET Northwest China for experiment use
XD-CERNET: Xidian University, Xi'an, P.R.China

I suppose I should change cernet to cernet2.
