Hello all,

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

Olivier

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.*
