The China Next Generation Internet (CNGI) (simplified Chinese: 中国下一代互联网; traditional Chinese: 中國下一代互聯網; pinyin: Zhōngguó Xià Yīdài Hùliánwǎng) project is an ongoing plan for the accelerated rollout and application of the IPv6 protocol nationwide.[1][2][3]
An author from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) summarized IPv6 protocol as "not yet the whole of the next-generation Internet" but merely the beginning and a platform for the next generation of the Internet.
According to Viktorija Ratomske, an expert at IPXO, the advantage of having a 'single stack' IPv6 network for China is that "IPv6 exceeds
In July 2021, China's office of the Central Committee for Cybersecurity and Information announced a plan to increase the nation's IPv6 traffic share to 50 percent by the end of 2023 and to as much as 70 percent traffic share and reach 800 million IPv6 addresses by the end of 2025, and finally phasing out IPv4 and replacing it completely with IPv6 technology by around 2030.[9]
Key CNGI goals
According to a brochure entitled "CNGI-CERNET2/61X", the CNGI effort's key tasks were as follows:
- Construction of China's next generation Internet backbones
- Development of key network technology and major applications for the next generation Internet
- Promotion of industrialization and application development of next generation Internet equipment and software
- Participation in international organizations, and playing an important role in standards setting
IPv6 was selected as key technology. The United States has almost one third of the theoretical maximum
Current status
As of October 2009, the CNGI effort comprises six nationwide backbone networks and 39 GigaPOPs (Gigapop is short for gigabit point-of-presence, an access point to Internet2), which extends the next generation footprint to over 20 major cities and over 300 academic, industrial, and government research campuses within China. Five backbones are commercial (operated by
