IPv6 day is already a huge success since it has brought technology
competitors like Facebook, Bing, Google, Yahoo, Akamai, Limelight and
many others all together to help move this VERY IMPORTANT rock up the
hill.
The ideal state of IPv6 day is that the Internet keeps working with
"no news" from a network operator perspective ... aside from a very
slight bump in IPv6 traffic (we still have edge IPv6 reach issues in
the Internet (understatement)... but there is progress there too (true
statement)).
If you have not been to the website, you should go and have a look.
This list should have a high level of interest in the success and IPv6
day.... since most of us get pay checks based on the continued growth
and success of this here network of networks.
