During the session, both parties exchanged experiences in operating and formulating strategies for IP/ASN management, as well as strategies for IPv6 and IPv6 only deployment and promotion.

In addition, VNNIC provided consultation and technical advice to MCMC on IP address and ASN resource management under the NIR model, thereby strengthening the role of national Internet centers (NICs) and contributing to the advancement of Internet operations and development.
