IPv6/VOIP Working Group

Introduction

The LEARN IPv6/VOIP working group is to work on IPv6/VOIP and first deploy IPv6 and VOIP in their own institutes.

Final target is to see the users in their campus networks can access Internet IPv6 resources and to make sure their resources are also available over IPv6. The WG will thereafter support to deploy IPv6 in neighboring institutes. It will also work for deployment of VOIP (SIP) in their institutes connecting their conventional telephone system to the VOIP system. Then it will work for calls to the other institutes to be routed through the LEARN SIP gateway.

The IPv6/VOIP WG was formed at the Annual NOC Meeting 2014 held at Information Technology Center University of Peradeniya on 23rd January 2014.

Objectives
to discuss relevant IPv6/VOIP technologies
to make resource available over IPv6
feasibility study of deploy IPv6 on existing hardware
to identify hardware upgrade requirements and provide necessary recommendations
to discuss configuration details
to have institutes-wide collaboration
