Potential Application Areas of IPv6

• (Legacy) Network Service
• NGN
• FMC
• Triple Play
• Wireless
• New Areas
• Non Computer Devices
• Sensor
• Controller/Actuator
• Embedded
• Applications
• Building System Energy, Emergency, Security, IT
  
• Facility

Legacy Network Services

• ISPes starts to realize the expiration IPv4
  addresses
• e.g., FMC_at_KDDI signalingIPv6,
  transportdual-stack
• Residential Customer
• IPv6 triggered by triple play, especially digital
  TV multicasting
• NTT group has already provided IPv6-based VoIP
  and Streaming
• NGN all-IP solution and VoIP for PSTN service
• WiMAX serious technical evaluation for
  commercial operation
• Corporate Customer
• SOHO customer
• Campus/Private networks
• Corporate network
• Start to enable IPv6 for new/future services
• Challenging to the Hotel system, as IPv6-FIX
  project activity
• Home network

Study on KDDI

• KDDI technical officers love TDM service, and
  hate IP
• Why adopt IP-based NGN solution ?
• ? simply because discontinuation of TDM
  switch by NEC
• No-alternative,
