It does not feel the time has passed, the trial application of future technology, the Internet network with IPv6 (Internet protocol version 6), along Wednesday (06/08/2011), successfully carried out. A number of prominent sites that participate to try out its service with a version that supports IPv6 does not experience significant disruption proved to be almost no complaints from consumers.
Global IPv6 Trial is Held Smoothly and it's amazing
World IPv6 IPv6 Day or Day of the World is a pilot project sponsored by the Internet Society to anticipate the technological transition. A number of parties considered it as important as the Y2K transition process when determining the time at the computer must be adjusted in 2000. The purpose of this trial is to seek the possibility of problems when web sites have to migrate to the new addressing system.
More than 400 sites owned by private companies, governments, and universities participating in this trial. Among other large sites such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and Bing also test the web version that supports IPv6. The invitation to participate in this trial has been speculated since 5 months ago.
"Today the World IPv6 prompted many large companies stepped together. They make it as a grace period to apply IPv6. We hope more people will continue to use it because it proved no problem," said Martin Levy, Director of IPv6 at Hurricane Electric, USA, which claims to use The biggest IPv6-based backbone today.
Systems Internet Protocol (IP) address is a network addressing system, which is the most important part of a process of information access and communication. Since 1983 until now a common addressing system used is the IPv4 address with a capacity of approximately 4.2 billion.
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), an international official agency manager IP address released data that the number of IPv4 addresses remaining from currently approximately only the remaining 10 percent of the initial capacity or about 400 million addresses only. This amount is not sufficient to anticipate the development of internet users today which is very unusual not to mention the future development of telecommunications technology based on IP. IPv6 is a new internet protocol that was developed to anticipate the IPv4 protocol soon full.
