Juniper Networks’ M- and T-series routing platforms have been selected for the core of the China Next Generation Internet (CNGI) project. The CNGI project was launched in 2003 by China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and its charter is to create a next-generation national IPv6 backbone covering 20 cities and 39 massive network points of presence (GigaPOPs) to provide pervasive advanced IP services. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“As one of the world’s most ambitious IPv6 projects, all of China’s major service providers and communications networks are participating in the CNGI project,” said Eric Yu, Juniper Networks’ vice president, Greater China.
