<div>Ademola,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Without IPv4 space from Afrinic to fix that network first, that v6 deployment would have been impossible. That's a fact.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would suggest you look up that presentation, it contains some interesting details</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But irrespective of that, let us not lose focus by engaging in the debate on a policy which is withdrawn and which it is to late to implement anyway, let us rather focus where we should, on getting a sane transfer policy</div>
<div><br>

<div>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.
