Hi, speaking from an end-user perspective :)
Some months ago on afripv6-discuss [1] I was talking about our small network reachable through v6 tunnel while waiting our ISP (CAMTEL, AS15964) terminate v6 routing. Since 3 days, we are able to communicate with the internet using native v6 address. If they configure the reverse DNS, I will be more than happy to give native v6 address to our main servers (especially the smtp server). Some users network are working through dual-stack. It works fine. I also request v6 routing on one another site in Cameroon. In order to achieve that (in my context at least) : self commitment, lot of advocacy at various stage,level and most important being able to play with your wallet (IF YOUR ISP CONSIDERS YOU AS A GOOD CUSTOMER) :"You don't activate, we don't pay; even worse we will move on". It's been 10 years since CAMTEL has been allocated v6 prefix. I may be wrong but it was not really use since that period. We constrain them to deploy it and they make it happen. While doing that I hope more netadministrators (ESPECIALLY IN UNIVERSITIES) will request v6 too in my country. When you ask to some people,entities (in Cameroon): «why don't you deploy v6 on your network ?»; the answer is : either «it's up to $ISP to deploy first, then I will follow» or «I do not see the needs; Why do I need to let people use globally routable address ?» No one want to start with at least a concrete transition plan. Frankly speaking, I can't talk for the professionnal area but universities have *no excuses* to not use IPv6 at all. Courses, researchs related to internet protocol should be based on v6 . Thus it will help if network are running on v6. At last, we should repeat it everytime : "stop (or at least reduce) using NAT". Period. P.S : by the way I hope that for 2017, training team will give priorities to local hosts who are using v6 (even through tunnel) ;) 1. https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/2016/002047.html -- Willy Ted MANGA Responsable Technique Régional | BACGL https://www.auf.org/bacgl irc freenode : ongolaboy
