KDDI Tests IPv6 Network between Japan and the U.S.

KDDI has launched an IPv6 trial network between its labs in Japan and U.S. locations, in cooperation with Japan’s government funded WIDE Project. The transpacific IPv6 network is being used to test an IPv6 application called “QualityMeeting,” which can transmit VGA-quality video and CD-quality audio using the company’s proprietary Bandwidth Adaptive Rate Control and Audio Video Error Concealment technology. KDDI is also testing a portal system that provides IPv6 equipment hostname registration, a portal for access to a user’s IPv6 equipment, and IPv4/IPv6 translation. In addition, KDDI is testing automatic tunneling gateways called “6to4 Relay Routers” that enable users with an IPv4 address to connect to the IPv6 Internet. Currently there are approximately ten open 6to4 Relay Routers globally and one in Japan, including the systems provided by KDDI Labs.
