[AfrIPv6-Discuss] How to revive this initiative

Thu Dec 3 18:00:49 UTC 2015

Maybe time to share.

We have peered our IPv6 now with a few other IPv6 enthusiasts, and am 
glad to even confirm all our email servers talk native v6 as well with 
other larger content and hosting providers, such as Google, Microsoft, 
and many more, not even through a HE tunnel. One of our up-streams does 
however use a Tunnel broker, however we are peering and having our v6 
range re-broadcast by one of these up-streams.

Our entire office infrastructure, and even a few of our end-user clients 
have been given access to v6, and its wonderful to install a plug-in 
such as IPvFoo on Chrome or another on Firefox for example, and be able 
to see when a site serves v6 or what any of the additional components 
downloaded are being served on.

We have seen a strong growth recently in the number of v6 sites as well 
as our sites are being migrated to dual stack currently for all our 
hosted clients.

We still got a long way to go and maybe more work needs to be looked at 
around 6to4 or 4to6, as well as pppoe client infrastructure setup to 
support Dual Stack.

Well done to all that have already started. IPv6 has only been out for 
more than 17 years, its about time we all started moving forward with it.

Regards
Anthony
