Today, June 8, 2011, The Internet Society (ISOC) is sponsoring a 24-hour, global test flight of IPv6. Major organizations will enable IPv6 on their main websites for 24 hours.
The goal of this event is to motivate organizations to prepare for a successful transition of Internet activity as IPv4 address space runs out. Without an industry-coordinated action there is a risk of increased costs and limited functionality for online Internet users everywhere.

What Internet users can do to get ready for World IPv6 Day?
Most Internet users will not be affected. Web services, Internet service providers, and OS manufacturers will be updating their systems to ensure Internet users enjoy uninterrupted service. In rare cases some may still experience connectivity issues when visiting participating Websites. Users can visit: http://test-ipv6.com/ to test if their connectivity will be impacted. If the test indicates a problem, you can contact your ISP to help fix the problem.
