And history is all set to be rewritten on 6th june 2012. Yes.
It has been finalised that many major ISP's, home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services on 6 June 2012. This would be the beginning of a new era for Internet and computing.
The event is sponsored by giants like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, AT&T, Time Warner, Cisco, D-Link and Bing. All of them are going to complete their shifting from the traditionally used IPv4 to IPv6. Shifting to IPv6 will reduce server overheads of NAT(Network Address Translation) table, hence increase performance and efficiency.
This is the biggest change some of us will be seeing in Internet computing in our lives(and still probably the biggest, Apple's ecosystem doesn't affect everyone, but the Internet does). How will IPv6 be implemented in India will be a question that time will tell.
