About AFRINIC
• The RIR Serving Africa
– (4 others for other regions)
• Location:
– Mauritius (Administrative)
– South Africa (Core Network Infrastructure for public services: whois, rDNS, etc)
– Egypt (Disaster Recovery Centre).
About AFRINIC
Core Function: Manage the distribution of Internet Numbers (not names) for operators of IP networks in the region:
– IPv4 Addresses
– IPv6 Addresses
– Autonomous System Numbers

IPv4: Distribution by Economy
South Africa 44%
Egypt 18%
Morocco 7%
Tunisia 5%
Algeria 5%
Kenya 4%
Nigeria 3%
Seychelles 2%
Others 12%
Getting IP addresses
• IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses issued on demonstrated need for them.
– Plan 12-month addressing requirements
– Every connected device.
• Send them to us ([email protected])
• Addresses issued in 1 week if all information is in order.
Getting IP addresses
AFRINIC is happy to support any e-gov projects and network infrastructure by expediting the processing of associated IP address requests.
We have already issued address space to two east african e-gov directorates/agencies.
IPv6
• The (central) IPv4 address pool is now exhausted.
• RIR pools also fast nearing depletion. APNIC (Asia Pacific) and RIPE NCC (Europe) issuing from their last blocks.
IPv6
• IPv4, by design, can only support 4.3 billion theoretical addresses (and much much less in reality).
• Number of connected devices has far outgrown the capabilities of IPv4.
• IPv6 is the ONLY future of the Internet. Can support 2128 IP addresses.

IPv6
Any new networks, especially to the scale of most e-gov services, MUST plan to be
IPv6 ready from the start.
IPv6
• Support towards IPv6 deployment and transition:
– IPv6 workshops for engineers: Hands-on drills for 4 days.
• Conducted one last year at UMI, thanks to NITA.
– IPv6 workshops for Managers.
• Engineers don’t make the decisions.. Managers need to buy into it.
IPv6
Getting IPv6 Space – as easy as just requesting for it.
– ‘Show a plan’ to deploy IPv6 networks and provide services in Africa.
Governments will help promote IPv6 deployment by ensuring their own services are IPv6 ready.
You are all invited to:
• IPv6 Workshops
• Technical & hands-on drills for network and
systems engineers
• Internet Number Resource Policy discussions
• AFRINIC, AFNOG, AFGWG, other AF* entities
• Many more activities.
THANK YOU
