10 billion business opportunities for next-generation Internet based on IPv6

At present, there is no technical problem in upgrading from IPv4 to IPv6. The problem is the industrialization of technology. If we do not push the core technology of computing to industrialization, the final result will be that a pot of good meat will not be able to produce practical significance. Industrialization of IPv6 is a business related to the future of the country and the fate of the enterprise. It is not enough to rely solely on a research institution such as the Institute of computing, it requires the joint efforts of all parties in the Internet industry chain to complete its industrialization process as soon as possible and change the current situation of being subject to human beings.

The current situation in the industry is that China's four major carriers, including China Netcom, are actively paying attention to the research on the IPv6 experimental network and are actively looking for new applications that IPv6 may bring. Although operators also acknowledge that IPv4 will be replaced by IPv6 networks, they have adopted a careful and progressive evolution strategy in the face of huge investment.

For network equipment manufacturers, due to the operator's overly cautious attitude, the equipment manufacturers are not sure about future market demands. In addition, the pursuit of the benefits of the existing product line has led to a wait-and-see attitude.

It is obviously irrational for service providers and users to develop application software and purchase terminal products blindly without forming network infrastructure.

The overly cautious and rational attitude held by all parties makes IPv6 a career that will concern China's position in the international network industry in the future, but few follow the embarrassment of investment.

The industry's wait-and-see attitude cannot quickly start the next generation of Internet. However, Academician Li guojie is optimistic. He believes that the next-generation Internet market, based on the IPv6 protocol and soul, will be able to integrate the telecommunications industry, information service industry, home appliances industry, automotive industry and other industries. In the recent network market, there have been signs of support for IPv6 router products to drive sales. The market scale of routers in China has been maintained at 40 to 40 in recent years ~ The market scale of 5 billion yuan will continue to grow slightly in China's vro market this year. It is estimated that the investment of telecom operators in purchasing vrouters Supporting IPv6 in the next five years will reach 15 billion RMB.

However, the vro market is only a small part of the market driven by IPv6. As the future development trend of communication and network will break the boundaries currently limited to communication between people, the next generation of Internet will have more communication between people and machines. Communication between machines does not take the communication fee first, so this will inevitably increase the network usage requirements of users and their devices.

IPv6 brings market opportunities to network equipment manufacturers, and is not just as simple as selling several routers and several NICs. Due to the integration of the next-generation Internet into various industries, network equipment manufacturers will no longer produce network products for carriers and IT enterprises. According to the concept that all devices will be connected to the Internet in the future, network equipment manufacturers may be home appliance manufacturers that manufacture refrigerators, microwave ovens, and air conditioners in the future, or they may be car manufacturers that produce automobiles, it may also be a manufacturer of gardening equipment that produces lawn workers and sprinkler irrigation equipment.

After the network infrastructure is built by carriers and equipment manufacturers, service providers and users will naturally keep up with each other quickly. Then the entire industry chain will be quickly activated.

Faced with the slow industrialization process at present, Li guojie believes that the support of national policies is crucial when an industry is under development resistance. IPv6 is related to whether China's Internet industry is subject to human beings. Its development is beneficial to the country, enterprises, and individuals. Among the three, the biggest benefit is the country. Therefore, the country should come up with more support policies to guide industrial development.
