CERNET IPv6 History

• May 3, 1998, IPv6 on FreeBSD at Tsinghua
  University
• Sept. 1998 first BGP4 peer to Sprint (MRTd)
• Nov. 1998, First 6Bone backbone node in China
• Mar., 2000 IPv6 BBS--6th Galaxy opened
• April 26, 2000 obtained sTLA (2001250/35 )
  from APNIC
• Aug., 2000IPv6?????published
• Sep. 25, 2000 CERNET joined IPv6 Forum
• Jan. 2002 DRAGONTAP IPv6 IX is running
• Jun. 2002 NSFCNET double stack is running
• Sept. 2003 CERNET2 test nodes are running
