(physical)6bone experience in WIDE/Japan

[Jun Murai]

folks,
originally, we have been planning to work on this on 6:66am of June 6. but
delayed. sorry.
note that we have constructed a physical testbed rather than a logical one,
to avoid possible confusion on the existing testbed of WIDE. Our plan is to
extend this with some more physical means, and also with logical means as
well. we also plan to use our T1 cable to MCI california pop if somebody out
there would like to work together.
here is a short report from Kazu Yamamoto (kazu@wide.ad.jp)..

At 15:22 on Jun 9th, 1996, the first IPv6 packet traveled on the WIDE
6bone whose topology at that time is as follows:

           133.4.6.34                133.4.21.33
           ntwo0  Serial(64k)        ntwo1   Serial(64k)
Univ Tokyo ----------------- Iwanami ---------------  Nara(zeta)
    | ne0              ntwo1   | ne0            ntwo0   | we0
    |             133.4.6.33   |          133.4.21.34   |
----+-----  Ether          ----+---- Ether          ----+---- Ether
 133.4.6.66                133.4.49.30               133.4.23.16


Every node is equipped with WIDE/Nara v6 kernel on BSD/OS 2.1 and has
IPv4-compatible IPv6 address. The two 64k serial lines are saved from
WIDE v4 backbone with Paradyne, a multiplex CSU and supported by
RISCOM/N2, a high speed serial interface on PC AT, attached to Cisco
HDLC. This means that WIDE 6bone is not virtual (like Mbone) but
physical.

The following is ping results from Nara to Tokyo.

zeta# ./ping6 ::133.4.6.34

We are planning to interconnect to Keio univ, Osaka univ, Hitachi
ltd, and NTT in the near future.
