[Mukom Akong T]

Dear colleagues,

AfriNIC just concluded a four (4) day training workshop in Djibouti,
Djibouti. The workshop ran from  17th - 20th October  at the Djibouti
Palace Kempinski hotel. The workshop was formally launched by the
representative of the minister of science and technology and other
government dignitaries.

The workshop was attended by more than twenty five (25) network
engineers, systems administrators and IT Managers drawn from the
telecommunications and Internet service organisations as well as
government agencies and the local university.

Some of the highlights of the workshop are as follows:

+ Planning for, requesting and managing IP number resources.

+ Overview of the vulnerabilities of the domain name system and how
DNSSEC addresses these.

+ The limitations of NAT as a sustainable solution to the problem of
IPv4 address exhaustion.

+ IPv6 concepts from addressing, address planning, routing and
transition techniques

+ Hands-on lab exercises (host configuration, routing and transition
techniques)

The full course outline is available at

We wish to extend our appreciation to Djibouti Telecom for hosting this
workshop and making it a success.
