[Community-Discuss] IPv6 Chapter 254

[Honest Ornella GANKPA]

It is good to see that Liquid Telecom has joined Seacom and others who have
been doing their best to advance IPv6 deployment in the continent without
waiting for IPv4 depletion.

This is the way to go because from recent research I read on the Internet
which makes it clear that IPv4 depletion does not lead to IPv6 uptake.  In
fact, I am surprised that Owen Delong continues to advise that this is the
way because the data was from Akamai which I hear he works for.  Please see
attached slide.  The presentation on the study was given at a recent LACNIC
meeting - http://slides.lacnic.net/lacnic26/ -
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxmygx5djtj6cxl/4%20-%20IPv6-GDP.pptx?dl=0

In the Afrinic meeting in Botswana, I learned from the Softlanding-BIS
proposal presentation that almost 90% of those with resources are in the
micro to very small category.  This means that these people are unlikely to
prioritise IPv6 so we need to find the motivation for IPv6 growth
elsewhere.   Even when they get allocations, they depend on their upstreams
to route these addresses.

My suggestion is that the Afrinic community organises itself better and
builds on the small successes in the region.  We can target more key
stakeholders like bigger ISPs and telcos, regulators, NRENs, government
networks who can make the difference.

It is not about Africa being last.  We need to look at the realities
honestly and act as a community.
