In line with Qatar’s Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Implementation Strategy

and as an essential component of the ongoing joint capacity-building efforts,
the Communications Regulatory Authority in Qatar (CRA) in collaboration with
the Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC),
conducted a three-day training course on IPv6 from February 19 - 21, 2024.

The training course was attended by attendees representing Qatar’s IPv6

knowledge and skills required for a seamless and successful transition from
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6. It provided an in-depth exploration

of critical aspects of transitioning to IPv6 such as configuration, deployment,
routing, and security. It addressed the significance of IPv6 and its necessity
for modern networks. The course offered foundational knowledge on planning

IPv6 deployment and addressing strategies. Furthermore, it encompassed
additional relevant topics on IPv6 that are crucial for telecom network
