The world's first! H3C is the first to pass the "IPv6+Ready 2.0 & SRv6 Ready" certification

Recently, several high-end core routers and WAN controllers of New H3C Group, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup, have successfully passed the "IPv6+ Ready 2.0 & SRv6 Ready" test and certification developed by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology Telecommunication Technology Laboratory, becoming the first company in the world to pass this test and certification. This is another milestone in New H3C's continuous exploration of IPv6 technology innovation, and is of great significance for promoting the evolution and innovation of IPv6 technology and promoting the deep integration of IPv6 with all industries.

As an authoritative third-party testing organization in China, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology Telecommunication Technology Laboratory has profound experience in IPv6 technology research and standard setting. In this "IPv6+ Ready 2.0 & SRv6 Ready" certification test, the core products of H3C Group's Application Driven Wide Area Network (AD-WAN) solution, CR19000, CR18000, CR16000-F, CR16000-M series routers, and AD-WAN controllers, with full IPv6 features and rich SDN features, successfully passed SRv6 basic capabilities, G-SRv6, network slicing, iFIT flow detection, BIERv6, SFC and other tests, fully meeting the requirements of IPv6+2.0 related protocol specifications, and will fully assist the large-scale deployment and application of IPv6 in hundreds of industries.

With more than 20 years of deep cultivation in the network field, H3C Group has insisted on technological innovation as the core driving force and has actively promoted the innovative practice of new IPv6 next-generation Internet technologies for many years. Currently, all network products have the ability to support IPv6 protocol and application deployment, and have achieved fruitful results in many IPv6+ core technology fields.

● End-to-end network slicing: H3C is committed to the practice and innovation of application experience assurance. Through multi-dimensional network slicing technologies such as FlexE, sub-interface slicing, Flex-Algo, and Slice ID, it provides users with multiple private network services on a physical network, deploys office, video and other services in different network slices, and does not affect user services, fully guaranteeing the service application experience. In terms of network slicing standard innovation, H3C and operators have innovatively proposed a Slice ID slicing solution based on the source address, providing end-to-end network slicing capabilities for access, aggregation and core.

● iFIT flow detection: In order to meet the needs of intelligent operation and maintenance such as business visualization and achieve accurate network perception, H3C has made early arrangements in the flow detection technology, taking the lead in completing the commercial use of Zhejiang Mobile's flow detection on the live network, proposing a DOH-based flow detection solution and forming an IETF draft. With its high accuracy and fast fault location, the flow detection technology has the conditions for large-scale commercial deployment and will further accelerate the popularization of IPv6+ technology.

● BIERv6 technology: In order to solve the problems of small scale of traditional multicast applications, slow fault convergence and slow response to multicast join, H3C has innovatively implemented BIERv6 multicast technology. BIERv6 uses bit index replication technology. The intermediate nodes of the network do not need to perceive the state of the multicast stream. They only need to guide the replication and forwarding of the multicast service according to the bit index, which greatly improves the reliability, flexibility and large-scale deployment capability of the multicast service.

● SFC practice: Based on the SRv6 SFC service chain application, H3C provides operators and public cloud service providers with flexible resource allocation capabilities, which can dynamically respond to tenant needs. At the same time, H3C and Guangdong Unicom jointly developed a new cloud network security solution based on SRv6 service chain, providing Service SID as a Service capabilities, which can quickly link multiple types of network, security and cloud resource functions through a SID List to achieve distributed elastic delivery of security capabilities.

● Deterministic network: H3C built network deterministic transmission capabilities through the programmable capabilities of SRv6 and the deterministic queue forwarding of RCQF, and constructed the world's first deterministic network, which spans 1,600 kilometers at its longest. The maximum jitter of deterministic traffic is less than 15us, and the main performance indicators have reached the international leading level.

H3C Group has not only completed the testing and certification of "IPv6+ Ready 2.0 & SRv6 Ready", but has also been actively investing in and researching IPv6+3.0. For example, in terms of APN6, in the face of the diversification of industry application scenarios, H3C actively participates in the formulation of APN6 standards by IETF, and gradually becomes a key force in the formulation and promotion of standards in the ICT field, laying the foundation for the evolution of highly intelligent networks in the IPv6+3.0 stage.

With its forward-looking investment in multiple IPv6 fields, H3C Group can now provide a full-domain IPv6+ solution, building a unified IPv6+ technology foundation for wide area networks, campus networks and data centers, which is fully applied to government, Internet, operators, finance, education, enterprises and other industries.

In the future, under the guidance of the "Cloud Native" strategy, H3C Group will continue to increase its research and development and innovation efforts in IPv6+ emerging technologies, work with partners to promote the innovative development of IPv6 integration with various fields, and fully empower the construction of a new generation of high-quality networks.
