IPv6 Deployment
The core of the LEARN Network now supports IPv6, with the exception of sites connected through the IP-VPN network of Sri Lanka Telecom.
We have obtained a provider-independent IPv6 address space 2001:df0:17::/48 from APNIC recently, and are peering with Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) on IPv6 since Oct 23, 2008.
The core servers of the LEARN network and some campus networks are already running IPv6 (see the table below).
Access routers at all the sites listed in the table below (connected via optical fiber links provided by SLT and/or 2Mbps links provided by Suntel) are IPv6 ready. Therefore at least the hosts/servers on the IP network directly connected to the LEARN access router can run IPv6.
The status of IPv6 deployment in the core of the LEARN network and member sites is shown below.
