IPv6 Day is fulfilled!

The title says it all as I’ve been IPv6 enabled with GogoNET Tunnel. Somehow and somewhat, my DIR-615 router also knows and detects various IPv6 addresses. So, the websites I knew were Google, Facebook and Yahoo Japan but these sites in IPv6 mode are not easy to enter the web addresses with. Even with NSLOOKUP, it won’t be that easy to know so I made a bunch of guesses like trial and error. Unfortunately, this lasted for 24 hours starting from when IPv6 day started but Google site in IPv6 is still on-going.

During the Google Image Search, I stumbled on something funny during the IPv6 day. Some image on whatever was happening on late May had the date changed to June 8th as if the Internet is becoming no more as we know it but the future of the Internet changes with the arrival of IPv6, putting the almost scary ending to the IPv4 itself. That doesn’t scare me about this ending but I doubt that the true ending of IPv4 will happen one day. Talk about the Day of Internet Eschatology where the final days will be around the beginning of June until June 8th or maybe one day when the IPv4 will be depleted completely. When this happens, there will be more technical problems and chaos everywhere that destructive complaints will be launched although the solution already existed in the past until now.
