The proposal will provide extensive information on the new Internet protocol and has been especially designed for network administrators, software developers, network equipment providers, as well as IT students, teachers and professionals.

After logging in to the LACNIC Campus, participants will find a very user-friendly environment, with courses based on brief “content capsules” in video format. This first introductory course on IPv6 comprises four modules, each of which includes a series of videos explaining a specific topic as well as practical exercises and evaluations that each participant must complete. It also includes an additional module with extra IPv6-related materials and resources.

Between them, the four modules will address 22 of the most relevant IPv6-related topics.

After completing the course, LACNIC will provide certificates of participation.

The number of participants is limited to 100.
