That again proves, such an organization cannot be run by small birdie brains..

Hello folks,

I really believe we should encourage big companies who want IPv$ (sorry.. IPv4) prefixes to go for IPv6 because they do have budget and resources to deploy it. Going for IPv6 should not start only when IPv4 ends. And I am not sure the IPv4 will end tomorrow, nor after 20 years.

Let's keep our last /8 for starter companies and upcoming infrastructures. Infrastructures in Africa are growing slowly and we should not slow down our normal progression with the IPv4 depletion in our region.

We are already suffering from many lockdown situations (energy, crises, economy, political..).

Please don't add Internet resources on the list.

Thanks

 :-) I like the introduction of analogys to the thread.

Difference here is that the v4 will not rot and that those who have and want more should be encouraged to only get V6 if they want additional resources.

I think this would offer a win-win outcome for all those in the region.

Regards

Let me put this another way.

Lets say hypothetically we have 3 farmers, and they all have vegetables to deliver to 3 different markets.  The people at the markets are hungry and waiting for the vegetables.

There is fuel, and hypothetically, it could get all 3 farmers trucks to the market, but only one trip each.

Farmer 1 has a truck – except it has no tyres
Farmer 2 has a truck  - except its battery is dead
Farmer 3 has a working truck.

It’s going to take a month before Farmer 1 and Farmer 2 have their trucks repaired, and the vegetables only last a week before they go bad.

Do we, a.) Say that in the interest of fairness to the farmers, we let Farmer 3 make 1 trip, and then for the next 3 weeks, Farmer 1, 2 and 3 have all their vegetables go bad while the people at the markets all starve or b.) Do we say, we have one working truck, that can deliver to the markets, he is in a position to feed the people at that market, so, let him have the fuel he needs to do that, so at least some people get fed, even if Farmer 1 and 2 are disadvantaged?

In my view, it’s a clear cut thing, Farmer 1 gets the fuel, because not giving it to him hurts the people far more than giving it to him and letting him deliver every vegetable he can.

Let those who can use it have it, so long as its used for the advantage of the African community – do not artificially constrain things and hurt everyone just to try and be “fair”

Needless to say, am sure you got my point.  :-)
