I agree with you Willy, On issues of research and development in universities we seem to be lobbying a lot but the people in the organisation do not really understand and would not want to invest in it. I suggest we also provide a lot of research papers in this area so that we can be complemented by government efforts.
Ever since Zimbabwe provided the IPv6 roadmap, we have an estimate of 5/6 universities working on IPv6 now. http://www.potraz.gov.zw/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Zimbabwe-Draft-IPv6-Implementation-Strategy.pdf Kind Regards Jasper -----Original Message----- From: Willy MANGA [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 06 June 2018 10:35 To: [email protected] Subject: [AfrIPv6-Discuss] Fwd: [rpd] Migrating quickly to IPv6 Hello over there, I thought it might be useful to forward this discussion here.

Was that taken into consideration for the timeframe? Maybe it can be useful to readers to know which presentation you are talking about [1] . I have appreciated Geoff's study but from my point of view the way people in africa may use/manage IPv6 in 2 or 5 years is yet unknown because you don't have enough data (kudos to projects like WIDER) . Generally you don't have unfortunately enough data coming from our continent; thus it's difficult to forecast exactly what can be the trend especially here. I believe in Africa, a major player here is governements on contrary of other regions. You may like it or not in many countries, you can't organise a meeting without their agreement, you can't use freely the internet without their agreement,etc... (I'm not a fan of that issue by the way) If some african countries find in IPv6 a real need to go forward, the curve of adoption may jump drastically. In addition, the second most important actor (again from my point of view) is the universities. I really really hope those here working within this area will understand me. We [2] are doing our best here but it's a combination of people/organisation. Of course I may be wrong but it's just a point of view :) By the way, it's #v6launch today :) . Announce your v6 prefixes; it will not hurt you ;) 1. https://ripe76.ripe.net/presentations/9-2018-05-17-ipv6-reasons.pdf 2.
