8 June, 2011 is dubbed “World IPv6 Day” as on that day, Facebook (www.facebook.com), Google (www.google.com; www.youtube.com) and Yahoo (www.yahoo.com), websites with more than one billion combined visits each day, are joining major content delivery networks Akamai and Limelight Networks, and the Internet Society, for the first global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6. Participants will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test flight”.
What will we do in Hong Kong to echo “World IPv6 Day” on 8 Jun 2011:
