Summary Report
Introduction
King Abdullah University of Science and
Technology (KAUST) is an international,
graduate level research university
dedicated to inspiring a new age of
scientific achievement to benefit Saudi
Arabia and beyond. The University is
committed to advance science and
technology through transdisciplinary
research in the globally significant areas of
energy, water, food, and environment.
The 6.5-million-square-foot campus is an
architectural icon situated along Saudi Arabia’s
Red Sea coast, 80 km north of Jeddah. The
University is the first LEED® certified project in
Saudi Arabia and the largest LEED® Platinum
project in the world.
Introduction - continued
The University’s nine Research Centers and six Core Labs support the research of
faculty, graduate students, and the broader research community. A unique matrix
structure of Research Centers and focused programs stimulates transdisciplinary
research to leverage the Kingdom’s unique resources, to serve the needs of Saudi Arabia
and the region, and to help forge the future of the global economy and industries.

The Red Sea Research Center
has both the immediate access
to reefs and world-class
facilities, making it
perfectly situated to
develop an integrated
understanding
of coral reef
ecosystems and
their oceanographic
context.
The University is
home to the
world’s largest
whale shark tagging
program, being
conducted in the
Red Sea near
Thuwal and Al Lith.
In addition to an audio studio and multi-purpose room, the
Visualization Lab includes a Mechdyne-built CAVE, creating the
world’s highest resolution and brightest virtual environment.
An iconic part of campus, the Campus Library is more than just a
place to house periodicals. This contemporary building encased in
translucent stone engages light to create a tranquil space for people to
gather, think, and learn. It’s distinctive architecture won the 2011
AIA/ALA Library Building Award given by the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) and the American Library Association (ALA).
The Student Center is a one-stop
spot for many student-related
services to support academic,
personal, and professional
development.

Q&A
Definitions
Dual Stack:
A technique that allows IPv4 and IPv6 to coexist on the same interfaces.
LDPv6:
IPv6 label Distribution Protocol.
6PE:
IPv6 on Provider Edge is a technique by which IPv6 domains communicate with each
other over an IPv4 cloud without explicit tunnel setup, requiring only one IPv4 address
per IPv6 domain.
6VPE:
IPV6 on VPN to Provider Edge is a technique that allows carrying IPv6 in a VPN fashion
over a non-IPv6-aware MPLS core. It also allows IPv4 or IPv6 communities to
communicate with each other over an IPv4 MPLS backbone without modifying the
core infrastructure.
