[rpd] Some thoughts, and some actions required

Fri Feb 5 12:28:55 UTC 2016

Ademola,

Did you ever see the migration presentation on the IPv6 rollout at UFS, a university that has probably the biggest v6 rollout on the continent other than Rhodes university (that I know of)

Without IPv4 space from Afrinic to fix that network first, that v6 deployment would have been impossible. That's a fact.

Move to v6 are easy words, but sometimes doing that in the current environment simply isn't as easy as all that and requires v4 resources first to restructure in a way that supports required dual stacking.

Would suggest you look up that presentation, it contains some interesting details

But irrespective of that, let us not lose focus by engaging in the debate on a policy which is withdrawn and which it is to late to implement anyway, let us rather focus where we should, on getting a sane transfer policy

Oh please, don’t start the educational policy. Higher Institutions should be moving forward by promoting IPv6 usage within campuses rather than attempting to stay in the relics of IPv4.

That will be innovation in Africa.
