為香港培訓新一代互聯網專才

香港互聯網協會與Hurricane Electric攜手推出亞洲首個IPv6證書課程

 

全球對IPv6專業知識不斷上升的需求推動世界最大IPv6骨幹網供應商

為中文用戶提供首個非英語證書課程


【香港,2011 日】香港互聯網協會(ISOC HK 今天宣布與世界最大的原生IPv6互聯網骨幹網及主機託管供應商 Hurricane Electric 合作,在亞洲推出首個IPv6證書課程(IPv6 Certification Program)。此課程以中文為語言,目標為華語市場,並且將會是首個非英語的環球IPv6證書課程。

 

此項中文證書課程的內容將與Hurricane Electric現有的英文證書課程完全相同。有關計劃全都是自定進度,以及認證對現實世界的IPv6概念和部署技能的掌握水平(涵蓋「新手」到「賢者」)。此項證書課程將會首先在香港推出,並最終提供給其他市場的華語用戶。除了IPv6的基礎知識,該證書課程亦將加入實務部署的培訓及練習。

 

香港互聯網協會主席莫乃光表示:「香港互聯網協會自2007起年一直積極領導和推動本地業界採用IPv6。亞洲互聯網在IPv4過渡至IPv6方面領導全球,但香港必須滿足市場對IPv6專才的需求,才可更有效推動IPv6的部署。此計劃主要以實際部署IPv6網絡的專業人員為目標,將為香港建立一個通過專業認證的人才庫,能夠克服IPv4位址耗盡問題,為香港廣泛採用IPv6鋪路。」

 

他續說:「通過與Hurricane Electric合作發展中文IPv6證書課程,以及支持『世界IPv6日』,本地任何人士都可以獲得最新互聯網協定的最新資料,並且為新一代互聯網發展作好準備。香港互聯網協會必定會繼續努力,推動採用IPv6透過建立世界級的網絡基建設施,協助香港走在下一代互聯網的前列。」

 

此證書課程建基於香港特區政府鼓勵業界及早支援IPv6的工作。憑藉為IPv6部署已準備就緒的網絡基建設施,七間香港互聯網服務供應商已在有限的基礎上為企業提供雙堆疊(dual-stack)服務,同時亦有更多的網頁寄存公司推出IPv6網頁寄存服務。

 

Hurricane Electric IPv6策略總監Martin Levy表示:「Hurricane Electric非常高興能與香港互聯網協會合作提供中文IPv6證書課程。這次合作將有助解決龐大的互聯網用戶對IPv6支援和指導的需求,考慮到亞太網際網路資訊中心(APNIC剛於今4月分配最後的IPv4位址區塊,這次合作十分合時宜。」

 

除了提供網上的證書課程,香港互聯網協會與Hurricane Electric將會利用香港數碼港的先進設施,提供多天的IPv6培訓及實習課程。有關課程由Hurricane ElectricIPv6傳播者Owen DeLong和香港互聯網協會IPv6培訓團隊主管楊和生設計。到目前為止,有近200,000人已報名參加或完成Hurricane Electric的英文版IPv6證書課程和通道代理人(tunnelbroker)服務。

 

通過此項IPv6證書課程,企業將能夠遵循IPv6部署的國際標準和法規。IPv6協定的設計是代替自上世紀70年代末沿用至今的互聯網協定IPv4。此項IPv6計劃將會認證專業人士架設和驗證IPv6伺服器及設備的技能水平,讓企業機構能夠受惠於IPv6連接、更佳的安全防護,以及更高的效能表現。


Martin Levy和莫乃光將於92日在香港數碼港舉行的「IPv6 World: Asia - After World IPv6 Day, what's next?」會議上主持簡單而隆重的揭幕儀式,為全新的中文IPv6證書課程揭開序幕。

什麼是IPv6?

2011年對互聯網來說是關鍵的一年,因現行的互聯網協定第四版(IPv4)的位址空間,已於今年年初耗盡。如果不採取行動,互聯網使用者將要承擔上網成本增加的風險,上網功能也會受到限制。唯一的長期解決方案,是採用互聯網協定第六版(IPv6)位址,它提供的位址空間比IPv44億倍。

On World IPv6 Day (June 8th 2011), top content providers such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and more than 1000 participating websites joined together for a successful global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6. This is the first ever largest IPv6 deployment in the world.  By providing a coordinated 24-hour "test flight", the event helped demonstrate that major websites around the world are well-positioned for the move to a global IPv6-enabled Internet, enabling its continued exponential growth.  


A key goal of World IPv6 Day was to expose potential issues with real-world IPv6 use under controlled conditions. Given the diversity of technology that powers the Internet, the global nature of the trial was crucial to identify unforeseen problems. The vast majority of users were able to access services as usual, but in rare cases, users experienced impaired access to participating websites during the trial.
After World IPv6 Day, then the question is "what's next?". We are pleased that speakers from Google, Yahoo and Hurricane Electric, who did the actual IPv6 deployment work on World IPv6 Day, will come to Hong Kong and share with us their valuable experience, including how they planned for World IPv6 Day, operational issues, deployment problems, security issues and transition mechanism.

In the past year, DDoS and advanced attacks targeting critical infrastructure become more and more vigorous. Governments (US, Malaysia , Korea ...), stock exchanges ( Hong Kong , New York and London ) and nuclear plants in Iran all fell in prey to large scale attacks. The recent attack to Hong Kong has impacted our economy's reputation and well being. Hong Kong needs to step up our awareness and response. ISOC-HK (Internet Security and Privacy Working Group) would like to reply to the call with prominent InfoSec associations to organize a seminar on 3-Sep-2011 to discuss the topic.
