[AfriNIC-announce] Successful Conclusion of AfriNIC Training Workshop in Gaborone - Botswana

[Mukom Akong T]

Dear colleagues,

AfriNIC just concluded a three (3) day training workshop in Gaborone -
Botswana. The workshop ran from the 26th - 28th September at the
Gaborone Sun hotel.

The workshop was attended by forty (40) participants (network engineers,
systems administrators and IT Managers) drawn from the
telecommunications and Internet service organisations as well as
government agencies and universities.

The workshop was launched by the Permanent Secretary to the President
and other dignitaries from the Internet and telecommunications industry
in Botswana.

Some of the highlights of the workshop are as follows:

+ Planning for, requesting and managing IP number resources.

+ 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 the Botswana Information
Technology Society (BITS) for hosting this workshop and making it a
success. Our thanks also go to the main sponsor - Botswana Post.


Warm Regards.
