at the nodes of the network technology iteration. Academician Yu Quan believed that in the era of interconnection of all things, a clear
identification system and massive data would inevitably bring about revolutionary changes to everyone's
production and life. Academician Yin Hao analyzed the development trend of the
network from the network and application level and stated that the development
of the NGI was not
only about technology iteration, but far-reaching social and economic effects. It would lay a solid foundation for the development of China’s
digital economy. .
NGI Brings New Opportunities for the Development in Asia-Pacific Region
At the Global IPv6 Summit, near 10
regional Internet IPv6 NGI
leaders from APNIC, China, Japan, India, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam,
Malaysia, and Central Asia Education and Research Network also gathered in
Hangzhou to discuss

development opportunities and challenges in Asia Pacific"
Liu Dong, director of the BII-CFIEC, said that we were more than users
of the Internet, but contributors, participants, and leaders of the Internet.
Other representatives of the conference also expressed that the promotion of
the scale deployment of IPv6 NGI would inevitably bring rare
historical opportunities and challenges to the Internet architecture and
innovation. In terms of business applications, security management and domain
name resolution, there were great
opportunities for innovation and development in the Asia-Pacific region.
Utilizing the NGI to enhance the transformation of traditional industries would comprehensively increase industrial efficiency, promote
industrial innovation and drive the overall development of society. The NGI can accelerate the informatization in the Asia-Pacific region and realize leap-forward development in data,
knowledge, technology, education and technology.
IPv6 is Just the Starting Point. NGI is the Platform for the Integration
and Development of new Technologies.
Latif Ladid, chairman of the IPv6
Forum, said at the meeting that the TCP/IP protocol was the cornerstone of the development of the Internet. IPv6
fundamentally solved the problem of insufficient network addresses and was the basic protocol of the NGI. However, IPv6 is just the starting point. The NGI is an open, inclusive, and innovative technology system and
a platform for the development of new technologies. Zhou Hongren, executive
deputy director of Advisory
Committee for State Informatization,
firmly believed that the development of global information technology would emerge a new major turning point and formed a new stage of development of global information
technology.
At this summit, many technical experts
from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, China UnionPay shared their opinion on the NGI key infrastructure and SDN/NFV, 5G and blockchain
technologies and the NGI
integration aspect.
The NGI is constantly breaking new ground and developing in integrated ways. In addition, at the same time, the summit also hosts several special events, such as the signing ceremony of the IPv6 Forum and BII Group, IPv6 Distinguished Youth
Award Ceremony, they received
widespread attention from the industry.
As Liu Dong, the chairman of the conference and director of BII-CFIEC, said in his speech, “Today, we gather
in Hangzhou in the name of the NGI. It
is because we have clearly realized that the IPv6-based global Internet change, great development, great integration, and great governance
have become irreversible development trends. We are witnessing,
experiencing and promoting the
advent of the NGI era."
