World IPv6 Day came to an end earlier today. We successfully enabled IPv6 o=
n our site for 24 hours, with great results. We saw over 1 million users re=
ach us over IPv6.
We=E2=80=99re pleased that we did not see any increase in the number of use=
rs seeking help from our Help Center. The estimated 0.03% of users who may =
have been affected would have experienced slow page loads during the test.=

Based on the encouraging results, we=E2=80=99ve decided to leave our Develo=
per site dual-stacked, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. And we will continue =
to adapt our entire code base and tools to support IPv6.
We are glad to have joined with the Internet Society, major Web companies, =
and other industry players to enable IPv6 for this test day. It was a great=
opportunity to test our infrastructure and IPv6 readiness.
IPv6 is vital to the continued growth of the Internet, and World IPv6 Day w=
as a great step in the advancement of the protocol. We hope the overall su=
ccess of the 24 hour test will encourage others in the industry to establis=
h reliable IPv6 connectivity and develop robust IPv6 products.
Donn is glad the Internet didn't break today.
