Tip: Point your customers to http://omgipv6day.com/ http://omgipv6day.com/ , now. The site will tell if your Internet access will be fine on World IPv6 day. A positive answer means that you either have IPv4 only connection (no broken IPv6 DNS responses or routes), or have a fully operational IPv6 nameserver and route to the Internet. A negative answer means that your computer was tricked into using IPv6 while no actual IPv6 connectivity exists (and thus you are going to have problems on June 8th).

I've run that on all manner of devices and infrastructures and it has never told me I will have any problems on World IPv6 Day. That's not because it is inacurate, it's because the vast majority of setups will continue to work perfectly on June 8th.

  The more out-of-the-box your setup is, the more likely it'll work (modulo a few broken OS/browser combos listed in the ARIN wiki). You might experience problems in environments where someone has been playing with IPv6 and left it half-broken (or, in my case, tried to be too smart and used DNS server on Cisco router ;)

I get different results from those sites. The first says that everything will be fine because my setup only does IPv4[1]. The second says everything will be fine because my setup fully implements IPv6[2]. This seems somehow strange. 1 - This web browser (at this location) looks safe. You'll just keep using IPv4. 2 - Congratulations! You appear to have both IPv4 and IPv6 internet working.

Or just attempt to load a dual-stack site. A few examples off the top of my head: http://www.freebsd.org/ http://www.freebsd.org/ http://www.debian.org/ http://www.debian.org/ http://www.ucla.edu/ http://www.ucla.edu/ Each of those has been dual-stack for years now. If you can load them without an egregious delay then you'll have no problem on June 8th.
