IPV6 Test Flight Day: the decision engine will convert to IPv6 connectivity starting on June 7 (Tuesday) at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time for the next 24 hours

All major Internet companies include Bing, Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, and others will start testing their services using IPv6 and developing plans for transition from IPv4 addresses.  According to Bing team blog, the decision engine will convert to IPv6 connectivity starting on June 7 (Tue) at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time for the next 24 hours.  Bing team announced the plan for IPv6 on February 3 this year.

Bing team also warned that not all computer devices could access IPv6 yet.  It depends on the latest hardware models, for example if they run on Windows 7 operating system.  Network providers, include Akamai and Limelight Networks, will also play a key role during the test.
