World IPv6 Day is June 8th, 2011. It serves as a test of IPv6 functionality on the internet.

Numerous large content providers, equipment manufacturers and ISPs participate, such as Answers.com, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Juniper, Cisco and Akamai. These organizations, and many others like them offer their services over IPv6 in addition to IPv4 for a 24-hour period beginning at 00:00 UTC and ending at 23:59 UTC.

This test-flight is intended to motivate organizations to move forward with their plans to deploy IPv6 and ease the migration off of IPv4 in preparation for the impending IPv4 address space exhaustion. It is also designed to help elucidate current IPv6 readiness across the Internet, and possibly uncover existing problems.

Two other similar events have taken place in the past, on September 16, 2010 and October 26, 2010, on a much smaller scale.
