:
Network Configuration
ILS bandwidth of 7 Mbps (CBR) and 25 Mbps (VBR-nrt).
SingAREN has a PoP in San Jose to aggregate all its US traffic.
PoP provides control over the amount and type of in-bound traffic entering SingAREN’s 32Mbpsinternational link.
US local connections to StarTAP & Abilene at 45 Mbps & 155 Mbps respectively.
Network Utilization
Singapore-US link
Singapore-Korea link

IPv6 Project
IPv6 Project
IPv6 Configuration
International IPv6 connectivity
- 6TAP, Abilene, Korea NGIX, MIMOS
IPv6 Architecture
- using a dual stack Cisco 7505 router running IOS 12.2T
Peering- SingAREN provides peering services using BGP4+.
- Native IPv6 peers: 6TAP, Abilene, APAN (Korea)- Tunnelled IPv6 peers: 6NGIX, MIMOS, ICR, SoC
IPv6 address
- assigned with 3FFE:1600::/24 (6BONE) & 2001:208::/35 (global)- pseudo TLA and sub TLA for Singapore.
IPv6 Configuration
IPv6 Project
To introduce and spearhead the deployment of IPv6 technologies.
Key objectives:
Provide native IPv6 internet connectivity and service to the IPv6community by deploying an IPv6 exchange point.
Gain IPv6 deployment experience by deploying an IPv6 infrastructureand services.
Design and implement IPv6 transition service for the integration of IPv4and IPv6 networks.
Develop an IPv6 deployment model for campus network and serviceprovider.
IPv6 Project
Deployment of Singapore IPv6 Internet Exchange (SIX)
Provide connectivity to IPv6 internet
Interconnect other IPv6 nodes.
Existing tunneled nodes can migrate to native IPv6 connection
New IPv6 nodes interconnect at the SIX via tunneling or direct IPv6connection.
SingAREN assign IPv6 address to participating nodes.
Nodes can participate/contribute to the development/ deployment/testingof IPv6 technologies/solutions.
Deployment of IPv6 network and services
Internet services (DNS, web, ftp, etc) to service the IPv6 community atSIX
IPv6 Project
Proposed Singapore IPv6 Internet Exchange (SIX)
