AFRINIC is delighted to announce the launch of the 'Mastering IPv6 Transition Techniques' e-course.

 

As you know by now, IPv4 and IPv6 are incompatible. However, both protocols need to co-exist as networks transition to IPv6, hence the need for IPv6 transition techniques.

 

This course covers the three categories of IPv6 transition techniques;

  1. Dual-stack,
  2. Tunnelling,
  3. Translation.

  

You can register for the course at >> https://academy.afrinic.net/courses/6trans

  

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  1. Evaluate scenarios that necessitate the use of transition techniques
  2. Identify the dual-stack, tunnelling and translation components
  3. Demonstrate how dual-stack, tunnelling and translation work
  4. Configure and verify dual-stack
  5. Configure and verify the specific tunnelling & translation transition techniques

  

 

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

We are happy to inform our stakeholders that there was a court hearing today with regard to our application for removal of the freezing order against AFRINIC.

The Court, after considering our application and the case initiated by Cloud Innovation Ltd, has declared the order null and void. In short, AFRINIC has won this case against Cloud Innovation Ltd.

There is another Appeal to be heard on 11th November 2021. We will keep you informed of the outcome and we are quietly optimistic that justice will prevail.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Eddy Kayihura
