Some
400 plus governments, corporates and university websites including popular
sites like Yahoo, Facebook, Bing and Google will make the switch to IPv6 during
the World IPv6 Day trial for 24 hours tomorrow, Wednesday June 8. The test is
intended to see how ready technology companies are to handle IPv6 addresses as
well as what to expect when Websites are obliged to enable IPv6 in the future.
There
could be glitches but the Internet Society (ISOC) estimates that 99.95 percent
of all users worldwide will not notice anything at all this Wednesday. The
trial IPv6 day is sponsored by the Internet Society to discover any problems
with IPv6 before it is widely deployed.
