[AfrICANN-discuss] Registration for AIS'20 Online is Still Open

Dear Colleagues,

 

 

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.

 

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. 

 

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:

 

 

    • 28  address plans in IPAMS

    • 23 validated route6 object

    • 10 validated RPKI ROA objects

    • 10 advertised IPv6 prefixes

    • 10 complete IPv6 infrastructure audits

    • 8 IPv6-enabled core networks

    • 6 IPv6 domain objects

    • 5 networks with IPv6 user traffic

    • 4 IPv6-enabled enabled network

 

 

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.

 

 

Date: 1-4 September

Time: 4 hours each day

Location: Zoom (but we promise it will be fun)

Eligibility: Qualified engineers from any country in Africa

 

 

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: https://vox.afrinic.net/215164?lang=en 


 

Only 45 spots are available. The application deadline is 27 August 2020.
