World IPv6 Day June 8th

This upcoming Wednesday, many of the largest technology companies will make the switch to IPv6 for a 24 hour trial. It is a possibility that the run of the mill Internet surfers will notice nothing different during the testing period, but the large corporations such as Google and Facebook could be seeing some glitches during this phase of early testing.

Already, recently produced routers support IPv6. Windows XP, Vista, 7, and upcoming Windows 8, as well as major Linux distributions including Red Hat and Ubuntu, are IPv6-ready. All ISPs eventually will eventually have to support IPv6 addresses as well.
