Hello all,<br>
<br>
I like the idea of an IPv6 e-deployathon. Are there any similar
initiatives in other parts of the world?<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

AFRINIC is now the only RIR with IPv4 addresses in its free
pool - 1,967,616 million to be precise. This is of course
grossly inadequate to meet Africa’s current IP address
needs, making IPv6 the only sustainable way to continue to
grow the potential of the Internet in Africa.<br>
<br>
This is why, after having trained over 6000 engineers from
50 countries, we designed and organised the world’s first
deployathon in 2018 as a mechanism to shorten the time
between learning about IPv6 and actually implementing it. <br>
<br>
So far, we have run 5 deployathons in which 55 network
operators have participated and within 3-4 days, were able
to accomplish the following:<br>
<br>
<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 28
address plans in IPAMS<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 23
validated route6 object<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 10
validated RPKI ROA objects<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 10
advertised IPv6 prefixes<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 10
complete IPv6 infrastructure audits<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 8
IPv6-enabled core networks<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 6
IPv6 domain objects<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 5
networks with IPv6 user traffic<br>
<span class="apple-tab-span"> </span>• 4
IPv6-enabled enabled network<br>
<br>
<br>
If selected, you will get the same step by step guidance,
tools and techniques we have perfected in 5 deployathons and
44 helpdesk calls to help you move your IPv6 deployment one
clearly measurable step forward in full accordance with your
network change management processes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Date: 1-4 September</b><br>
<b>Time: 4 hours each day</b><br>
Location: Zoom (but we promise it will be fun)<br>
Eligibility: Qualified engineers from any country in Africa<br>
<br>
<br>
If you are an engineer who runs a network and believe that
you can make one concrete visible step towards IPv6
deployment (or advanced your stalled IPv6 deployment), apply
for a spot here: </span><a
