ION Cape Town, 8 September 2015 - Three years ago on World IPv6 Launch, thousands of ISPs, home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world united to permanently enable IPv6 on their products and services. With the global IPv6 traffic at 5% and growing, Africa’s share of that IPv6 traffic is negligible. Yet IPv6 deployment is one of those initiatives that everyone agrees is merely important and will forever be at the mercy of other initiatives that are urgent. How do you change that? By using the proven methodology 4DX that will guarantee the IPv6 deployment project has a chance amidst the whirlwind of other urgent initiatives. This should certainly start moving up dial on IPv6 traffic in Africa.

1. IPv6 research/self study
2.Create IPv6 address plan
3.IPv6-audit border router
The “real” work is always URGENT. IPv6 is merely IMPORTANT
