Preparing for the webinar
Once invited for the workshop, participants should head to our website, download and review the relavant training materials. Participants to technical workshops are also required to come along with their own laptops which must have the following utilities installed:
- Virtualbox - a virtualisation software available freely from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- A telnet and/or SSH client to use to log into remote equipment. If your operating system does not have these installed, you can download and install the following free ones:
- Putty - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- Terraterm - http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/releases/
- The RIPE whois client freely available from http://whois.sourceforge.net. Please note that although most Linux/unix operation systems have a whois client, these do not support most of the flags used by the AfriNIC whois server.

IPv4 address space may be gone, but the reality is that IPv4 is likely going to be with us a long time. Also, because not all providers currently offer IPv6, sometimes, getting your IPv6 network hooked up to the rest of the Internet will need some technical 'duct tape'. Transition techniques are that duct tape and this webinar focuses on how they work and which ones are suitable for which scenarios. After attending this webinar, you will be able to
