IPv6
 PREGINET
project conducts R&D in IPv6 to make itself and the
Philippines ready for the Next-Generation Internet Protocol.
 The
team is pursuing the adoption of IPv6 in the Philippines through
advocacy work, building partnerships with network providers and
universities, and by continuously building competency in the
technology.
 ASTI
is implementing the project on Building a Philippine IPv6
Network, with University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, Central
Visayas Information Sharing Network (CVISNET), and Mindanao State
University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) as the pilot sites
