CERNET2 connects 25 core nodes distributed in 20 cities of China at the speed of 2.5-10 Gb/s. CERNET2 has four unique features. First, its backbone adopts native IPv6 protocols, rather than IPv4/IPv6 dual stack. It is the largest pure IPv6 network in the world. Second, it provides an environment for testing and trial operation of China-made IPv6 core routers. It also allows tests of interconnection, interworking and interoperation among multiple vendors. Third, the large IPv6 address space enables the study on network addresses in a real network environment, which ensures the construction of a secured and trusted CNGI. Last, it is a test-bed for NGI applications.展开更多

The developments of thermally sprayed coatings for steel structure protection were described. Based on Al, Zn, Zn-Al and Zn-Al-Mg coatings, the anti-corrosion properties of new-pattern Zn-Al-Mg-RE coating were evaluated through electrochemical methods including electrochemical polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) coupled with SEM and XRD. The models of Zn-Al-Mg-RE coating undergoing corrosion with the initial pinhole defect and the latter with accelerated products were also discussed. The results show that Zn-Al-Mg-RE coating exhibites excellent corrosion resistance for long-term immersion, which is helpful for the sustainable design of steel structure in aggressive corrosion conditions. And the corrosion products seem to possess certain self-sealing function.展开更多
