Welcome to World IPv6 Launch Day
Today is world IPv6 Launch Day.
One week until World IPv6 Launch
June 6th is only a week away. We hope everyone is aware of the fact that it is World IPv6 Launch. The goal is for folks on the Internet to turn on IPv6 and leave it on. This is the first in a long list of steps to help the adoption of IPv6. Check out the World IPv6 Launch website for details. If you see a swimming turtle on our site – congratulations – you are accessing our site via IPv6!

Infoblox, Cisco, HP, BlueCat Networks, A10 Networks, TW Telecom, CenturyLink, Juniper, Comcast, Fortinet, Gigamon and others.
It runs April 10th to the 11th in Denver, CO. There is an optional pre-conference on April 9th that has basic and advanced IPv6 hands on training. See the registration site for details. To top it all off, Nephos6, with the IPv6 Forum, are offering complimentary IPv6 Forum Certified Engineer testing at the conference. If you would like to test your IPv6 knowledge and show what you know about IPv6, you can register to take their 1-hour exam during April 10th or April 11th during the conference – how cool is that?
If IPv6 has been on your to do list or you have said you need to get up to speed on IPv6 then this is your answer. Come join us in Denver!

Registration Opens for The North American IPv6 Summit
The registration site is now open for the North American IPv6 Summit. The NA IPv6 Summit is hosted by the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force who traditionally have hosted the largest IPv6 event in North America. They have been kind enough to extend the event to include all the other IPv6 Task Forces across North America. If you are interested in IPv6 at all and want a chance to hear from top experts about their experiences in deploying IPv6 then this is the event to attend. The NA IPv6 Summit is April 9th to the 11th in Denver, CO.

IPv6 Fragmentation
Bill Cerveny of Arbor Networks has a great post on IPv6 Fragmentation. It works a bit differently in IPv6 from IPv4 and it’s a very important difference. This is especially true when considering how to implement a security policy. Fragmentation is one of the few uses of IPv6 extension headers seen regularly in the wild today and must use Path-MTU to work effectively.

The Impact of IPv6 on On-Line Marketing
A good paper to share with those in your company that handle on-line marketing has been released by Martin Longo, CTO of real-time identity firm Demandbase. The paper is called “Transition to IPv6: Why Online Marketers Should Care. If you think it’s just IT’s problem, think again” and makes the case for thinking about IPv6 now and not be caught unprepared during the transition.

TXv6TF Fall Summit Agenda Taking Shape
The mid-September Fall TXv6TF Summit agenda is starting to take shape. Today, TXv6TF announced that there will be a 3-hour hands on lab at the end of the 2nd day of the summit (September 15, 2011). This lab requires no prior experience with IPv6 and will be consist of the following agenda:
- Short lecture – IPv6 addressing
- Lab 1 – Configure network device with IPv6 SLAAC address
- Lab 2 – Configure network device with IPv6 static address
- Lab 3 – Configure network device for basic IPv6 routing between VLANs
- Lab 4 – Configure network device for OSPFv3
The lab will be lead by Jeff Carrell and is free, but advanced registration is required and seats are limited. Each participant must bring a laptop with any operating system that has VPN (PPTP) and telnet capability in order to participate in these labs.

A Short Bit of Post World IPv6 Day Analysis
Both the European exchange points providing IPv6-specific traffic reports showed an increase in IPv6 traffic on World IPv6 Day. AMS-IX showed a a small increase (peaking at 2.9Gbs), but may not be statiscally significant. Based on looking at the year-to-date IPv6 traffic, it looks like the jump in IPv6 traffic started in February 2011 with an increase in peak usage from around 1.8Gbs to around 2.6Gbs. That roughly matches up with the time of the IANA IPv4 free pool exhaustion. DE-IX showed a marked increase in traffic appearing to at lease double its previous reports. It seems clear the community that used DE-IX was using the day to learn more about IPv6.
Ars Technical offers this summary.
