About World IPv6 Day
On 8 June, 2011, Google (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/world-ipv6-day-firing-up-engines-on-new.html), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/world-ipv6-day-solving-the-ip-address-chicken-and-egg-challenge/484445583919), Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com/), Akamai (http://www.akamai.com/ipv6) and Limelight Networks (http://blog.llnw.com/2011/01/ready-to-celebrate-world-ipv6-day-we-are/) will be amongst some of the major organisations (http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/participants/) that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test flight”. The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the industry – Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.
Please join us for this test drive and help accelerate the momentum of IPv6 deployment.
How To Take Part
Interested in joining the other organisations that are taking part in this initiative? Select your type of organisation below and you’ll find everything you need to participate in World IPv6 Day:
Website Owners (http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/how-to-join/)
Network Operators (http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/how-to-join/)
</snip>
This issue will affect all of us over the next couple of years as IPv4 network devices (printers, IP cameras, IP phones, wireless routers, etc. ) are phased out and replaced with their IPv6 enabled equivalents.
Note: If your computer is less than 6 years the operating system will most likely be IPv6 ready out of the box.
