IPv6 Day

June 8 is going to be World IPv6 Day.

You can read all about it here, but the gist is that some Facebook, Yahoo, and Google will turn on IPv6 for the day. In the best of all possible worlds, this shouldn't be noticeable at all. Some users will suddenly work over IPv6, but the bulk of the world will be fine. The reality, is that there is some percentage of people who have broken home networking equipment and/or their ISPs do. This day will highlight the issues.
