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

[Honest Ornella GANKPA]

I will have to agree with Mark on this one.
It is ultimately an operator's prerogatives how he wants to run his
network. He can decide to buy non ipv6 compliant equipment and Afrinic
can't do anything about it. I mean we have BGP BCPs but people still
announce /25 and more to their transit....

I believe Alain's suggestion is sensible: prove that you have at least
deployed IPv6 in your network to some extent before requesting more IPv4
(when we hit soft landing)
