In the Africa region, assistance was provided in setting up Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) testbeds in Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Cameroon to be used as sub-regional test beds for IPv4 to IPv6 migration.
A feasibility study was conducted on IPv6 test beds improvement and IPv6 Roadmap was developed for Mongolia and Brunei Darussalam.
BDT also provided assistance in the creation of national IXPs, e.g. developing model interconnection as a basis for formulating National and Regional IXPs, as in the case of Guatemala; strengthening capabilities of the national IXPs in Montenegro and the National Internet Exchange in Timor Leste.
Another sub-regional IXP is under consideration with Djibouti Telecom using their New Data Center and different optical cables.
