Hi Collin,
IPv4 addresses are no longer available. If you want to keep networks 
growing, you have basically two choices:
Buy IPv4 addresses (that come in part from those that have already 
deployed IPv6) and maybe CGNs. This is a short-term solution. You will 
be behind the rest of the world.

Deploy IPv6. This is the only long-term solution.

So the business case is: Do you want to sustain your grow, and 
consequently the viability of your network or business?



colin,

to add to what jordi has just told you ..
how much do you think you are currently paying for an ip address, to be 
able to provide your users with service  (big hint:  go do the math, 
it’s necessary, and important).  then, how much do you think you’ll 
be paying in the future, once afrinic can no longer give you any more 
address space?
you don’t need to guess an answer to the second part;  here’s one 
view:  https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales


now ask yourself, what’s going to be cheaper - consistently - for you? 
 feel free to look around and see what the other address brokers say.  
i’m sure the numbers will be enlightening.


if you can’t see the business case here, then that is good news for 
your competitors.

Bonjour,

Sur ce point, je tiens à vous informer de la disponibilité d'un 
projet

initié lors d'un hackathon RIPE-NCC :
https://github.com/inognet/pocketinternet
Ce projet a notamment été prévu pour faire un mini-lab IPv6/BGP où 
les

hôtes et routeurs sont virtualisés sous forme de container.



mukom is on a plane somewhere, and he will likely feedback in more 
detail when he is on the ground, but the idea is not so much to have 
this work in a *lab*, but to make it work on your actual network.


lab sims are great;  if you want to get that done, go ahead :-)
but from what he explained to me, the idea behind this “deployathon” 
is to have network operators take that final step to actually get their 
network space announced, and to turn up, at least one live service on 
ipv6.


that’s why the entry criteria for this this workshop, are different 
from the regular IPv6 workshops that afrinic runs.

hrm.
what’s interesting, is that this isn’t out of the afrinic ipv6 pools ..
not that this is a problem.  but odd anyway,

Re: [AfrIPv6-Discuss] AfrIPv6-Discuss DHCPv6 Server Declaration

take it back a step;  you have some infrastructure for your network 
(running ipv4) now, right?

how do you solve your current dhcp issues for ipv4?

as stephen and john said, either your dhcp server needs to be connected 
to each network subnet (which is potentially wasteful, and unnecessarily 
complex), or you need to configure a dhcp relay agent on the network 
(router) devices in the middle, so that they know where to send dhcp 
requests to.


consider:

N1_R1___
|
N2_R2___|
|R4S
N3_R3___|


so, take the simple picture above;  you have three networks (N1-3) and a 
dhcp server (S) somewhere on your network, separated by some routing 
devices (R).   server S is not on the same logical subnet (ie. not in 
networks 1-3).  on the intermediate routers (R1-3) you’d have to 
configure a dhcp-relay agent, pointing to S, for the interfaces that 
connect to N1-3.


your favourite search engine will help you find the specific commands 
for your hardware, if you search for “dhcp relay agent”.
incidentally, you’d have to do the same thing in IPv4 as well.  so 
this is not a dhcp6 specific issue.

i’ve said my piece on this, and, to be clear, i wasn’t referring

but to those unscrupulous ones that see this as an revenue source.  
perhaps you’ll be a welcome change.
