Welcome to the new Internet. Today marks the official launch of IPv6, the new Internet Protocolthat's permanently being deployed by ISPs in more than 100countries, home router equipment manufacturers and leading websiteslike Google, Facebook, YouTube and Yahoo. Parties committed to the new protocol will now make IPv6 the "newnormal" from here on out, expanding the Internet from its currentfour billion IP addresses to over 340 trillion, trillion, trillionaddresses. That said, the End of the Internet is no longer in view. "The support of IPv6 from these thousands of organizations deliversa critical message to the world: IPv6 is not just a 'nice to have';it is ready for business today and will very soon be a 'musthave,'" said Leslie Daigle, Chief Internet Technology Officer,Internet Society. "We believe that the commitment of thesecompanies to deploy IPv6 will ensure that they remain industryleaders. Any company wishing to be effective in the new Internetshould do the same." Starting June 6 at 0000 UTC, major websites are permanentlyenabling IPv6 on their main sites. ISPs will permanently enableIPv6 across a significant portion of their current and all newresidential wireline subscribers. Home networking equipmentmanufacturers will enable IPv6 by default through their range ofhome router products. The launch arrives after the last blocks of the IPv4 addresses wereassigned to the Regional Internet Registries in February 2011. Thatmeans there is no remaining IPv4 address space to be distributed inthe Asia Pacific region. Even more, IPv4 address space is expectedto run out in Europe this year, in the U.S. next year, and in LatinAmerica and Africa in 2014. "Many parts of the world are increasing broadband penetration, moresmart phones and network-ready devices are entering the market, andthe sheer number of Internet users is steadily increasing all ofwhich raises IP address consumption," the Internet Society said on Wednesday . "With IPv4 becoming scarce, the need for IPv6 deployment growsdaily." By enabling IPv6, the Internet can now sustain billions of peoplethat are not connected today. It will allow a wide range of devicesto connect directly with one another, and it will help ensure theInternet can continue its current growth rate indefinitely. "IPv6 is key to preserving the health and openness of the Internetfor decades to come," said Stephen Stuart, Distinguished Engineerat Google. "We're proud to be one of the founding participants inWorld IPv6 Launch, and we look forward to the day when IPv6 isavailable to Internet users everywhere." "As more and more people and devices connect to the web, supportingIPv6 has become crucial to the future scalability of the Internet,"said Jay Parikh, Vice President of Infrastructure at Facebook."It's awesome to see so many people and companies working togetheracross the world to make progress on this transition." World IPv6 Launch is organized by the Internet Society as "part ofits mission to ensure that the Internet remains open and accessiblefor everyone -- including the other five billion people not yetconnected to the Internet.".
