6Grid Project was established to embody "everything in IPv6 Grid environment" for real global computing.

Grid is the most promising technology that may be an infrastructure for both business and science. This kind of infrastructure needs to be established at the world-wide scale. The following facts are part of the reasons why IPv6 is required by the Grid.

Virtual community and virtual laboratory both of which are formed across the borders of institutions and organizations by the Grid often demands on a robust security infrastructure.

Recent scientific applications require huge number of computational resources such as processors and data storages for problem solving. Sometimes, NAT (Network Address Translation) prevents the aggregation of such resources.

IPv6 has many benefits for real global computing as follows.

Dynamic address assignment reduces the administration cost.

Large address space provides the solution against the shortage of IPv4 addresses.

Peer-to-peer communication on IPv6 network is the most natural way of realizing mutual authentication between two entities of communication.

IPSecurity (IPSec), which is a mandatory functionality in IPv6 protocol, allows us to protect data confidentiality in packet level.
