World IPv6 Day looms: what might break (and how to fix it)

When the clock hits midnight on Wednesday, June 8 UTC, World IPv6 day
begins. Many Web destinations—including the four most popular (Google,
Facebook, YouTube, and Yahoo)—will become reachable over IPv6 for 24
hours. (In the US, that’s 8PM EDT, 5PM PDT on Tuesday). As the
current IPv4 protocol is quickly running out of its remaining 32-bit
addresses, adopting its successor’s Brobdingnagian 128-bit address space
is long overdue.
