VNETWORK's vision of a comprehensive IPv6-based system
In the Context of Rapid Technological Development and IPv4 Address Exhaustion, Transitioning to IPv6 Has Become an Essential Step for Ensuring Operational Efficiency and Security in Network Systems
As a result, VNETWORK has implemented 100% IPv6 across its entire system. This transition not only enhances system performance but also provides customers with superior benefits in terms of speed, security, and scalability. By integrating IPv6, VNETWORK aims to meet the demands for both IPv4 and IPv6 in the near future.
Benefits of IPv6 for businesses
Greater address space and easier management
With its 128-bit addresses, IPv6 provides a vastly larger address space compared to IPv4, facilitating nearly limitless IP allocation. Address management also becomes simpler, suitable for the ever-growing number of connected devices worldwide.
Restoration of end-to-end connectivity
IPv6 enables direct, device-to-device (end-to-end) connectivity, eliminating dependence on Network Address Translation (NAT)—a temporary solution that no longer meets current needs. This improves connection speed and quality, providing users with a better experience.
Automatic network configuration
IPv6 supports automatic network configuration without the need for a DHCP server, reducing complexity when setting up and managing network devices. This feature is especially useful for large systems with numerous devices, such as sensors, cameras, or IoT devices.
Improved routing and network management
IPv6 is designed with a fully hierarchical routing structure, which reduces the load on global routing tables and prevents overload as the number of networks grows. This structure makes it easier for service providers to manage and expand their networks.
Enhanced support for multicast
IPv6 provides powerful multicast capabilities, enabling efficient deployment of high-bandwidth services such as IPTV, online conferencing, and multimedia applications. Compared to IPv4, IPv6 multicast is significantly easier to implement and manage, conserving bandwidth and reducing server load.
Improved security IPv6 has built-in security features like IPsec, which protect data and connections end-to-end. This enhancement increases safety for online transactions and minimizes the risk of external attacks, a challenge that IPv4 struggles to address effectively.
Better support for mobile devices
IPv6 is designed to support modern mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices. With its ability to assign static IP addresses and effectively manage mobile connections, IPv6 enhances connectivity in mobile networks, especially with 5G.
Enhanced quality of service (QoS)
IPv6 features, such as hierarchical routing and packet optimization at routing devices, improve QoS. This ensures smooth operation for high-speed, low-latency applications like online gaming and video conferencing.
With these advantages, IPv6 not only resolves IPv4 limitations but also unlocks new opportunities for future development of online applications and services.
Conclusion
By pioneering the implementation of 100% IPv6 for its IT systems, especially its CDN, VNETWORK strengthens its leadership position in Vietnam and the region. Robust infrastructure, extensive bandwidth, comprehensive IPv6 support, and advanced security features make VNETWORK the optimal choice for businesses on their digital transformation journey.
