World IPv6 day @ home

In case you haven’t heard about it yet, the Internet Society (ISOC) is planning an IPv6 “test flight” with some large organizations, on June 8th, 2011. The event will last for 24 hours and is intended to raise awareness about the impending migration to IPv6.

This is by no means the “launch of IPv6? (IPv6 has been available for over a decade since the early days of the 6bone). Instead, this is the opportunity for some large-scale service and content providers to test their IPv6 readiness with a sizable audience over a 24 hours period. Although not the first of its kind, since this event is sponsored by the ISOC and supported by several core content and network providers (some of the participants are big names such as Google, Yahoo, Akamai and Facebook) it has a good chance of becoming the largest IPv6 awareness raising event in history. It is no coincidence that IANA has just allocated the last few available IPv4 blocks to the regional registries, marking the depletion of the IPv4 space (at least when it comes to global allocations, but regional allocation exhaustion will follow soon).
