This is, of course, grossly inadequate to meet Africa’s current IP address needs, making IPv6 the only sustainable way to continue to grow the potential of the Internet in Africa.<br><br>As of today, that’s why after having trained over 6000 engineers from 50 countries, in 2018, we designed and organised the world’s first deployathon as a mechanism to shorten the time between learning about IPv6 and actually implementing it. <br><br>In 2020, we redesigned the event and organised it entirely online. Nevertheless, 30 organisations from 14 countries were able to accomplish 24 deployment KPIs:<br><br><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 7 validated route6 object<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 4 address plans in IPAMS<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 4 advertised IPv6 prefixes<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 2 validated RPKI ROA objects<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 2 IPv6 traffic from test VLAN<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 1 IPv6-enabled DNS<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 1 DNSSEC IPv6 signed IPv6 reverse zone<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 1 IPv6-enabled website<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 1 IPv6-enabled email<br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>• 1 network with IPv6 user traffic<br><br><br>If selected, you will get the same step by step guidance, tools and techniques we’ve perfected in 8 (e-)Deployathons and +100 helpdesk calls to help you move your IPv6 deployment one clearly measurable step forward in full accordance with your network change management processes.<br><br><br>Date: 25th May to 27th May<br>Time: 4 hours each day<br>Location: Zoom (but we promise it will be fun 😂)<br>Eligibility: Qualified engineers from any country in Africa<br><br><br>If you are an engineer who runs a network and believe that you can make one concrete visible step towards IPv6 deployment (or advance your stalled IPv6 deployment), apply for a spot here - <a href="https://mautic.afrinic.net/edeployathon" target="_blank">https://mautic.afrinic.net/edeployathon</a><br>(Only 35 spots available)<br><br>Deadline for application:16th May 2021. <br><br>For more information and queries about e-Deployathons, please contact: <a href="mailto:do@afrinic.net" target="_blank">do@afrinic.net</a> <br><br>Sincerely<br><br>AFRINIC Team<br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
