Check your PC for IPV6 readiness

Greetings everyone, 
It's been a while I'm not writing. I had some personal tough times meanwhile. I'm back to post now.

Before going to explain the post title,lets introduce something newish.

It is about a new 'World x day' that you possibly weren't aware of before. The World IPv6 day,gone passed on the 8th of June,2011.

This year,on this day,google,facebook,yahoo,akamai and limelight networks launched a 24-hours trial of their website with the new IPv6 servers along with 400 other websites.

The key goal of this venture was to expose the unforeseen issues with IPv6. And the result was quite successful.

To have some more reading of this day,you can visit this site.
Additionally,you should try a IPv6 tester on your pc from here.

This test could be important to all of us because, IPv4 addresses are gonna run out this year. That means,there won't be any IPv4 available after this year.

My pc successfully passed the test.
