APAC IPv6 Council signed a strategic cooperation agreement with NIDA

On December 6, 2024, Malaysia time, NIDA Secretary-General Deng Yiou was invited to attend the 2nd APAC IPv6 Council Conference held at Tun Abdul Razak University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and delivered a speech entitled "Insights into the Evolution of Next Generation Networks.". 

NIDA and APAC IPv6 Council signed a strategic cooperation agreement at this meeting. Based on the Net5.5G consensus, the two sides will strengthen inter-organizational cooperation, jointly carry out technological innovation and industry promotion, jointly promote the deployment and implementation of IPv6 in the Asia-Pacific region, and promote the innovation and development of the Internet infrastructure industry. 

5G ASEAN Industrial Development Guideline

This report, titled "5G ASEAN Industrial Development Guidelines," is designed by the APAC IPv6 Council along with the IPv6 Forum Malaysia, NIDA, RUMC, & USM to provide a comprehensive framework for the deployment, standardization, and application of 5G technologies among industries across the region. It provides insights into both immediate and future requirements for industries looking to leverage 5G to remain competitive in an increasingly digital global economy.

By preparing these guidelines, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) can play a pivotal role in shaping a digitally empowered future for the region, positioning it as a global leader in 5G innovation and application.

100% IPv6 Adoption for Malaysia

Governments worldwide are now moving towards full IPv6 implementation. APAC IPv6 Council, along with IPv6 Forum Malaysia, assists local businesses and organizations with technology consultation, human capacity building, and upskilling required for the seamless transition to a fully connected IPv6 Malaysia.

As highlighted in the recent Public Consultation paper issued by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), this initiative marks a significant milestone in enhancing Malaysia's digital infrastructure, unlocking new opportunities for innovation, scalability, and growth in the digital economy.

The APAC IPv6 Council will remain ever-ready to support the nation in achieving this vision and ensuring that Malaysia remains at the forefront of internet technology evolution.

Huawei Collaborates on IPv6 White Paper Framework and the Establishment of the Asia-Pacific v6 Council

The Asia-Pacific IPv6 Enhanced & 5G Global Conference was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia recently which saw the unveiling of an IPv6 (Internet Protocol, version 6) Enhanced White Paper framework and the establishment of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) v6 Council. 

IPv6 ISP Addressing Scheme Questionnaire

The IPv6 addressing scheme is a document that describes your IPv6 addressing plan and scheme, including details such as: 

·      The purpose of each subnet.

·      The address range assigned to each subnet.

·      The prefix lengths used for the subnet.

·      The address allocation method (Manual, SLAAC, DHCPv6).

·      Security considerations (anti-spoofing, ACL, p2p best practices, and loopback).

·      Reserved address ranges.

Country Level IPv6 Transition Strategy

This document serves as a general guideline for ISPs/Network Operators for their IPv6 Transition. It provides the different stages of IPv6 Transition and Deployment.

Asia Pacific IPv6 Implementation Whitepaper

The first initiative taken by the APAC IPv6 Council was the release of a whitepaper for the Asia Pacific IPv6 Implementation Roadmap and Guidelines.  This whitepaper is a comprehensive exploration of IPv6 and IPv6 Enhanced as indispensable catalysts for the digital transformation that is sweeping across the globe.

Magazine Article for IPv6 whitepaper by ASEAN Economic Forum

The ASEAN Economic Forum works closely with the Asia Pacific IPv6 Council and its partners in their tireless efforts in advancing IPv6 implementation. 

Transition to IPv6-Only Networks for Government Infrastructure

This presentation was shared by the US IPv6 Council. The Council created the first comprehensive IPv6 Cybersecurity course of instruction under contract for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in support of their IPv6 Transition efforts initiated by the 2010 Federal CIO memorandum, directing all federal agencies to continue the transition started in 2005.

Cybersecurity Measures for IPv6-Only Networks

The intent of any organization’s cybersecurity approach is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA)* of IT assets and data. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), based on lessons learned by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), is designed to enhance an organization’s network operations and provide a more secure environment in the hands of trained and experienced engineers.

IPv6 and DNSSEC Deployment Status

In order to confirm IPv6-enabled devices and to keep track of DNSSEC deployment progress across several government sites in India, Mr. Krishna Kumar Lahoti from CNLabs has shared this link for reference.
