Template:Use ymd dates The World IPv6 Day is an event organized by the Internet Society and several large content providers to test public IPv6 deployment.[1] It will start 00:00 UTC on June 8, 2011 and end 23:59 the same day.[2] The main motivation for the event is to evaluate the real world effects of the IPv6 brokenness seen by various synthetic tests. The event is also known av Test Drive Day.

The test will primarly consist of websites publishing AAAA records, allowing IPv6 capable hosts to connect using IPv6. Although Internet service providers are encouraged to participate, they are not expected to deploy anything on that day, just increase their readiness to handle support issues.

Among others, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Akamai and Limelight Networks have committed to participating in the experiment.[3][4]
