Towards IPv6 • NIRA is not an Local Internet Registry (LIR)- Do not assign IP address to its customers. • NIRA has already applied for IPv6 address block from AfriNIC. • One of the secondary DNS on IPv6 which has a local Anycast. • Working towards IPv6 awareness campaign to all the registrars, so that Nigerian sites can be reachable via IPv6.

Challenges: No IPv6 Enabled Networks in Nigeria http://v6asns.ripe.net/v/6?s=ZA;s=KE;s=NG;s=MU;s=EG Good News: Moved from the 6th position in 2009 to the 3rd in 2010 based on the number of allocated IPv6 within AfriNIC region. Bad New: Not yet visible in the Internet NIRA
Reasons why ISPs are not implementing IPv6 in Nigeria • ISPs need a business case • Lack of technical know how • Core equipment compatibility issues • Lack of IPv6 upstream service providers- • Non requests from end users NIRA
