AFRINIC is now the only RIR with IPv4 addresses in its free pool
AFRINIC is now the only RIR with IPv4 addresses in its free pool - 1,967,616 million to be precise. This is of course grossly inadequate to meet Africa’s current IP address needs, making IPv6 the only sustainable way to continue to grow the potential of the Internet in Africa. This is why, after having trained over 6000 engineers from 50 countries, we designed and organised the world’s first deployathon in 2018 as a mechanism to shorten the time between learning about IPv6 and actually implementing it. So far, we have run 5 deployathons in which 55 network operators have participated and within 3-4 days, they were able to accomplish the following:
What was accomplished so far
What awaits you
If selected, you will get the same step by step guidance, tools and techniques we have perfected in 5 deployathons and 44 helpdesk calls to help you move your IPv6 deployment one clearly measurable step forward in full accordance with your network change management processes.
Date
1-4 September
Time
4 hours each day
Location
4 hours each day
Eligibility
Qualified Engineers from African region
Limited spots

If you are an engineer who runs a network and believe that you can make one concrete visible step towards IPv6 deployment (or advanced your stalled IPv6 deployment), apply for a spot
