==World IPv6 Day==

On June 8, 2011, ISOC led the [[World IPv6 Day]], a global-scale trial on the deployment of the IPv6 which was participated by around 400 organizations such as [[Google]], [[Facebook]], [[Yahoo]]!, [[Akamai]] and [[Limelight Networks]]. The participants enables IPv6 on their primary service for 24 hours to find out the potential challenges related in using the new internet protocol.Based on the result of the trial, services were accessed normally by majority of the internet users however there are some cases wherein users experienced difficulty in accessing the services of some of the participants.<ref>[http://isoc.org/wp/newsletter/?p=3861 World IPv6 Day]</ref>

According to [[John Curran]] chief executive of the American Registry for Internet Numbers ([[ARIN]]), the trial was successful. [[Rob Malan]], chief technology officer of [[Arbor Networks]] also noted that the test went without major problems. Some analysts believe that potential problems may occur when companies start to actually use the new protocol in the next few years wherein [[IPv4]] and IPv6 needs to co-exist for a period of time. Some experts are also concern about internet security issues citing that  there are no standards in the process of encapsulation, a technology used to enable IPv4 and IPv6 site to communicate with each other during the transition period.<ref>[http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9217459/World_IPv6_Day_draws_attention_to_security_issues_with_new_protocol World IPv6 Day draws attention to security issues with new protocol]</ref>
