[AFRINIC-rpd] New Policy Proposal: Inter RIR IPv4 Address Transfers (AFPUB-2013-V4-001-DRAFT-01)

[Owen DeLong]

38,000 end-users at a university is a lot simpler than the average enterprise with 20,000+ employees and a whole lot simpler than an ISP supporting 1,000,000 customers.

Yes, you can point to exceptionally easy cases where deployment can be done in less than 6 months. Betting your own business on being one of those exceptionally easy cases without evaluating and/or planning your IPv6 deployment ahead of time, OTOH, is an exceptionally bad idea, IMHO.
