Hi Willy, Just as a matter of interest.
I deployed IPv6 to a university a few years ago (I think this was around 4 years ago?) – end to end – every single host on the network with v6, and connecting to the outside world via a proxy server that was also v6 enabled. Today – their v6 utilization by measurement of APNIC on that ASN is close to 100% (Because they hit every single measurement point with v6). It took a week to deploy the entire lot – but it does show what can be done. See http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/AS37501 Thanks Andrew On 21/10/2016, 00:56, "Willy MANGA" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Kevin, Le 11/10/2016 à 13:16, Kevin Kamonye a écrit : > [...] > *Networks will move to deploy IPv6 under the following influences:* > *a) The cost of getting IPv4 addresses becomes un-bearable (as would be if > they have to be acquired from the Transfer market) * > > *b) There are no IPv4 addresses to be gotten, anywhere (even if you have > money to buy them)* > *c) The network's owners have this blinding insight of the obvious that the > IPv4 game is an un-winable one and IPv6 is the only sustainable way* > *d) Some powerful entity forces them (by mandates or by incentives) to > deploy IPv6 (like gov't IT regulators)* *e) Universities (through REN ?) will realise that they can't deploy on their networks only IPv4. It's a shame (in my humble opinion) that our universities don't see the need of IPv6. What about their research ? what about study of new network behavior ? protocols ? How can they rely on this deprecated protocol ? :-\ We forget that universities are the main place of research and innovation ... -- Willy Manga freenode: ongolaBoy Ubuntu Cameroonian Loco Team https://launchpad.net/~manga-willy _______________________________________________ Community-Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss
