I guess it's not a hoax, the test was last week, and it'll probably be a coupl'a years before we need to worry, and most systems will be ok, but... http://www.worldipv6day.org/

Re: IPV4 to IPV6 D-Day
A google provided test say's I don't, and it seems you'd have to have some pretty old equipment to be in jeopardy, but no doubt there are those who will be affected at some point down the road. Maybe there is more to it than I've discovered.Comment

Re: IPV4 to IPV6 D-Day
The ISPs will be key. So long as they are assigning IPv4 addresses to customers, whether they be NAT'ed or not, IPv6 will not impact the end user much. It will be years before a dramatic shift takes place, like the analog to digital TV conversion.Originally posted by craigwatanabe View PostComment

At this point I suspect most home routers are owned by the ISP. If I'm wrong, they still own a sizable chunk. Replacing all of them is going to make them look for cheaper ways.Comment

It may be more of a browser update than equipment updates. Most home routers are owned by the subscriber. The modem on the other hand is owned by the ISP.Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.Comment

Re: IPV4 to IPV6 D-Day
Depends on the age of the install. HawTel at least has been handing out combo modem/router/WAP for the last few years.Originally posted by craigwatanabe View PostComment
