IPv6 Day

Early today, major web sites enabled their DNS 'quad A' or AAAA entries.

These include google.com, bing.com, facebook.com, yahoo.com, youtube.com and aol.com.

I especially like Facebook's IPv6 address:

2A03:2880:2110:3F03:FACE:B00C::

It looks like traffic to Google over one backbone immediately doubled... Albeit up to almost 2% of total traffic.

I'm told that unlike last year, these updates are planned to be permanent. Sure is a step in the right direction!
