Background

A leading financial enterprise, currently undergoing deep digital transformation, has experienced explosive growth in services such as mobile payments, online wealth management, and digital lending. This surge has led to severe IPv4 address exhaustion, becoming a major obstacle to business expansion. At the same time, regulatory bodies are imposing stricter cybersecurity requirements.
China's Fintech Development Plan (2022–2025) mandates that “by 2025, financial institutions must fully complete IPv6 transformation and achieve large-scale IPv6 deployment.” Similarly, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission's Guidelines on Digital Transformation of Commercial Banks emphasize “accelerating large-scale IPv6 deployment.”

Solution Overview

The solution follows a strategy of “unified planning, phased implementation, and guaranteed security,” and includes:

  • Network Infrastructure Upgrade: Hardware upgrades for core routers and switches to support IPv6 protocol stack. Deployment of IPv6-capable load balancing devices. Construction of dual-stack DNS systems for intelligent resolution. Upgrades to network security equipment (firewalls, IDS/IPS, etc.)
  • Business System Transformation: Dual-stack upgrade of online banking systems. IPv6 adaptation of mobile payment platforms. Protocol upgrade for core trading systems. IPv6 support for big data platforms
  • Security System Development: Creation of IPv6-specific security policies. Deployment of IPv6 traffic auditing systems. Enhancement of access control mechanisms. Construction of an IPv6 security monitoring platform
  • O&M Management Enhancement: Establishment of a unified O&M management platform. Development of automated configuration tools. Formulation of IPv6 operation standards. Training for professional personnel
