IPv6: A Historic Day or an Historic Day?

Back to the coming apocalypse, or rather the end of the coming apocalypse; at 0001 GMT, on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, all DNS servers across the world will turn IPv6 support on permanently. Most internet users won’t even notice that the change has been made, because home computers have been building in support for IPv6 for a few years now, and most ISPs will take another few years to turn IPv4 off entirely. Even with both IPv4 and IPv6 running simultaneously, users won’t be blocked from certain parts of the web if they don’t meet certain requirements; certain IPv4 addresses have been reserved and are used to “tunnel” requests between IPv6 servers through IPv4 connections.
