Dear Colleagues,
AFRINIC has less than 1,75 million IPv4 addresses left in its available pool.
This, as you can tell, is 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. In 2018, we designed and organised the
world’s first Deployathon as a mechanism to bridge the gap between learning
about IPv6 and actually implementing it.
In 2020, we redesigned the event and delivered it entirely online attaining 24
deployment KPIs. This year, we’ve run 3 e-Deployathons with 15 organisations
from 7 countries participating. They were able to accomplish 24 deployment KPIs:
• 6 valid route6 object
• 5 validated RPKI ROA objects
• 4 address plans in IPAMS
• 3 initial address plan
• 2 IPv6 domain objects
• 2 IPv6-enabled DNS
• 1 advertised IPv6 prefix
• 1 IPv6 prefix (PI)
If selected, you will get the same step-by-step guidance, tools, and techniques
we have perfected in 10 (e-)Deployathons, and +100 helpdesk calls to help
realise your IPv6 deployment project.
This is clearly a measurable step forward in accordance with your network
change management processes.
