Ipv6 and Loess Highlands Project in China

1. Ipv6 and Loess Highlands Project in China Juncai Ma*, Shoji Hatano*, Yoshihiro Ichiyanagi* and Loess Highlands Project *BioGrid.cn Project and Information Network Center, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences On Jan. 29th, 2004 at 17th APAN Meetings/Jt Techs Workshop, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

2. Wind-blown sand in Beijing in Seoul (Korea) Loess Highlands in Fukuoka(Japan) Desertification around Loess Highlands

3. Father Zhu and his colleagues are very successful by folkway forestation

4. Forestation by traditional folk societies Temple Forestation Fertilizer IPv6/GRIDNetworking Field servers Environmental improvement Computer-aided soil reformation Dedication Septic tank system IT agriculture Fertilizer Products with logs in Web Town Fields Agricultural products

5. CREC model - reengineering of traditional cultural cyclic system by high technologies High-techs Lives, Production Culture CREC = Center for Recovery of Ecology and Culture in Yulin College, Yulin, Shaanxi in Loess Highlands.

6. Problems in Networking in Loess Highlands • Few global IP addresses in countryside. • -> IPv6 • Connection between IPv6 networks. • -> IPv6 on 6-to-4 on openvpn on IPv4 • How authenticate servers and clients. • -> Grid Computing with GLOBUS Security Infrastructure

7. Connection of IPv6 local networks IPv6 IPv6 No IPv6 lines Some routers cannot transfer 6to4 packets 6to4 6to4 6to4 over openvpn 6to4 over openvpn IPv6 ppp over IPv4 TCP/IP IPv6 ppp over IPv4 TCP/IP Beijing Loess Highlands

8. Authentication by GLOBUS Security Infrastructure (GSI) Certification Agent (CA) User Certification Server Certification GLOBUS server GLOBUS client Setup User can access by certification of the same CA

9. Server Certification User Certification Server Certification Server Certification User Certification Server Certification

10. We cannot install GLOBUS to field servers and cameras. Server Certification Server Certification Server Certification Server Certification Proxy server for data transfer and authentication

11. Switch certificates by chroot command • Normal position of certification files • /etc/grid-security/ • Position of certification files for field servers • /server-A/etc/grid-security/ • /server-B/etc/grid-security/ • /server-C/etc/grid-security/ • ……. • Switch of certificates by chroot command • /server-A/etc/grid-security/ • “chroot /server-A” • is accessed as if it were in /etc/grid-security/

12. Proxy server A’s Server Certification IP for server A accessed Transferred A’s data Data is retrieved by Grid-FTP in IPv6 Transferred B’s data IP for server B accessed B’s Server Certification

13. Current status of the IPv6 networks Loess Highlands (Yulin, Shaanxi) IM-CAS,Beijing OsakaU., Japan Proxy server 6to4, openvpn gateway 6to4, openvpn gateway Certificated clients Filed server ADSL KDD open 6to4 router in Japan Certificated clients Camera server To the world

14. Future Plan • Introduction of Metbroker. • Monitoring of septic tank system. • Locate field servers in forestation fields. • Design and localization of forestation and agriculture logging system. • Locate camera servers in temples for culture promotion.

16. Demonstration • Data collected through IPv6 GLOBUS are presented in a html page in a server in Beijing. http://crec.biogrid.cn/fs • Camera server monitoring septic plant in Yulin College, Shaanxi (IPv6 only) http://yulin-nc-cam2.biogrid.cn • Field server monitoring experimental field in Yulin College, Shaanxi (IPv6 only) http://yulin-nc-fs1.biogrid.cn

17. http://crec.biogrid.cn/fs • Data is collected through IPv6 Grid-FTP from Loess Highland to Beijing. • Renewal every 5 minutes. • The specimen is demonstrated on Jan. 28th 16:20 CST 2004. • Monitoring the septic plant by a LAN camera. Please scroll down the page.

18. Monitoring temperature of experimental field by field server. • 17 degree Celsius. Please scroll down the page.

19. Monitoring the network speed from Loess Highlands to Beijing. • 43.13 KB/s with IPv6 over 6-to-4 over openvpn. • 48.45 KB/s with openvpn. • 53.26 KB/s with IPv4. • ca 20% overhead by IPv6.
