Hi Andrew.<br>
<br>
Many congratulations. This is, indeed, a major step, and for me, the
first of its kind in eastern and southern Africa (mostly because I'm
not sure how far this is going in northern and western Africa -
otherwise I'd say the whole of Africa).<br>
<br>
I've been challenging a number of broadband ISP's and MNO's in
Africa in recent years to put a lot more focus and energy in getting
consumers IPv6-enabled, so to hear that Liquid have succeeded in
doing this in Kenya is very good news, indeed!<br>
<br>
It would be good to hear of challenges specifically around customer
devices picking up IPv6 addresses, and potentially running into
Happy Eyeball issues if at all. If you can share that as your
experience grows, it would tell a good story.<br>
<br>
Once again, good work, Andrew and your team! I'm quite impressed to
hear this!<br>
<br>
Mark.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I thought I’d just share this with all of
you because I view it as a fairly major step in the right
direction for the continent.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday, Liquid Telecom turned on IPv6 to
all its Kenyan home users using GPON and our FTTH / FTTB
products. This was done in such a way that the customers
didn’t need to configure anything themselves to enable it, it
was just there
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The CPE’s are all pushed a configuration as
well to SLAAC enable the LAN facing interface and doing v6 DNS
distribution via ND (though we also have v6 DHCP serving V6
DNS and other-config-flag set on the ND, so it can get the v6
DNS via either method if it doesn’t honor the
other-config-flag)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though, this is now a challenge to all the
other ISP’s offering home user mass market products – v6 works
– it’s time to start seeing more deployment
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope to have the v6 turned up shortly in
Zimbabwe and other markets in the next few weeks as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
