</div></div>World IPv6 Day sounds like it's mostly about Dual-Stack, having both<br>
IPv4 and IPv6. These are the questions that need to be answered:<br>
<br>
Is your computer/software IPv4-only? If so, you won't notice any<br>
problems until some time in the future when you want to connect to a new<br>
IPv6-only host and can't. World IPv6 Day shouldn't affect you.<br>
<br>
Can your computer/software connect to hosts that have both IPv4 and<br>
IPv6? If not, you will have connection problems on World IPv6 Day.<br>
<br>
Can your computer/software connect to IPv6-only hosts? That's a future<br>
issue. Your OS should be fine, but your router and modem probably<br>
aren't ready. Most ISP's don't offer direct IPv6 access either. You<br>
can set up a tunnel in Linux and some routers if you really want it.<br>
<br>
Dual-stack has been tested before on a smaller scale:<br>
