On July 24, 2024, the China Communication Standards Association (CCSA), which hosts the secretariat for SAC/TC485 (Communications), issued a notice on behalf of SAC/TC485 calling for national standard projects related to IPv6.
This call aims to establish a second batch of national standards for IPv6. Currently, China’s national standard system for IPv6 includes 38 standards that cover IPv6 evolution technology, address assignment and coding rules, network device security, support evaluation, and single-stack IPv6 networks. The goal of this call is to optimize and advance the existing standard system to better align with current technological developments and industry needs.
The TC is seeking standard projects in the following areas:
The TC calls for standard projects in the following fields:
- IPv6 Evolution Technical Standards: Building on the existing IPv6+ standard system, the development of innovative technical standards such as SRv6, network slicing, and on-stream detection is encouraged to support the next-generation Internet upgrade and new application scenarios.
- Monitoring and Evaluation Standards: Standards for monitoring and evaluating IPv6 network performance, service quality, and user experience are needed to ensure efficient network operation, high service quality, and effective IPv6 deployment.
- Industry Deployment Standards: Industry guidelines and standards for IPv6 deployment and application in various sectors, including energy, radio and television, data centers, industrial Internet, smart cities, and distance education, should be formulated.
- Security Standards: Strengthening IPv6 network security through standards for firewalls, intrusion detection systems, source address authentication, and other security technologies and devices.
The call for projects will close on August 31, 2024. Relevant foreign stakeholders and multinational corporations with a legal entity registered in China and technical expertise within the scope are encouraged to participate.
