[rpd] Statistics on IPV4 allocation in Africa as of 2016

[Bope Domilongo Christian]

The argument of "killing IPV4 for the promotion of IPV6" could be consider
as Propaganda statement. We all acknowledge that IPV6 is the future and we
do also  encourage our community to do so.

Supporting the theory of FIFO is not FAIR and not equitable knowing the
challenge the continent is facing. Please let us move on our own pace.
Let imagine if FIFO was implemented at  ICANN level for the distribution of
last /8? AfriNIC would have not obtained the last 102/8.

The deployment of V6  worldwide is still challenging not only in Africa as
you can see in this statitictics from AKAMAI
https://www.akamai.com/us/en/our-thinking/state-of-the-internet-report/state-of-the-internet-ipv6-adoption-visualization.jsp
, google  http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html and Ripe
https://www.ripe.net/publications/ipv6-info-centre/statistics-and-tools.

Therefore the argument of accelerated depletion of V4 will enhance the
deployment of V6 is a myth.

Regards,
Bope
