The Internet Society have announced that June 6th, 2012 will be world IPv6 Launch Day.  On this day, many of the participants of last year’s World IPv6 Day will permanently switch on IPv6 on their forward-facing web sites.

Only time will tell how much of an impact this will have on Internet users at large.  Hopefully, no one will notice, which is precisely the point.

IPv6 on by default for new Internode customers

Internode this month became the first Australian broadband provider to make IPv6 (Internode Protocol version 6) available by default for all of its new customers. - Source

Well we’re one step closer to full IPv6 support.  The only step left for Internode is to enable IPv6 on every new modem that Internode ship to customers (currently IPv6 is disabled by default).

All I can say is that I’m happy with my Billion 7404 VNPX and its IPv6 support (as well as Fetch TV).  No issues here.
