Hi,
how is the status of the SIXXS backbone regarding the connectivity to the "big players" fort world IPv6 day on 8th of June, 2011?
As I read before, Facebook is unreachable?
And other sites, e.g. mentioned here: http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/
Thanks!
KR,
Oliver

Facebook is working for me via SixXS using the URL http://www.v6.facebook.com/
Or what do you mean exactly?
World IPv6 Day
Those sites mentioned on that page will only for the 24 hour period (in which timezone is to wonder ;) publish AAAA records, if it breaks for too many users of them they might even pull them during those 24 hours.
The moment they publish those AAAA records, it just depends on routing if those sites are actually reachable, thus that mostly depends then on BGP, to which we have little to no influence and all these things depend on the remote site. It is their problem thus also to set this all up properly and hopefully they test connectivity beforehand too...

Hi,
and thanks for the answer. For me ipv6 always felt a bit like small tunnel-broker-islands that have to be interconnected, as well as other "islands" like google, youtube and so on. But if everyone runs BGP it's fine :)
I guess they start the test in Backer island's timezone (UTC-12) and end it in Kiribati's Timezone (GMT+14). Which means it's ended before it's started ;)
But ok, we'll wait and see :)

Even back in the time of 6bone (even in 5ffe::/16 timeframe before the 3ffe::/16 one) when stuff was connected using tunnels BGP was being used for setting up routing... and that was before 1997...
For the rest, you might want to take a peek at GRH which we made to analyze the IPv6 BGP tables.

Time Zone for World IPv6 Day on 8 June is UTC. This means that in America, World IPv6 Day already starts in the evening of 7 June local time.

Is that so? I've been wondering for quite some time. Have you got a source on that?

"About 24 hours from now, at midnight UTC on June 8 (Tuesday afternoon in the U.S., Wednesday morning in Asia), all the participants will enable IPv6 on their main websites for 24 hours."
