<div><br></div><div> </div>If these organizations can be persuaded a little further, this IPv6 Awareness creating exercise can be positively converted into a POSITIVE DRIVE to migrate to IPv6. This can happen if Google, Facebook and Yahoo offers their content for a 24 hour period on this day on an IPv6 ONLY websites.
</div><div><br></div><div>It will work like this:</div><div><br></div><div>If the user is on a IPv6 network, the home page works and the user is greeted with a message that says "You are accessing facebook on IPv6", the page features some info about World IPv6 day, provides links, and then the rest of the user's experience with facebook that day is normal </div>
<div><br></div><div>If the user accesses facebook from an IPv4 network, the FRONT page says, "This facebook page today is on IPv6. You are accessing this page from an IPv4 network, says some summary info about World IPv6 Day, about IPv6 and then shows a prominent link for accessing facebook on IPv4, and the rest of the user's experience is normal.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The idea of this approach is to leave the user momentarily on an IPv6 only page to give him the experience of a day in future when part of the Internet will not bother to be on IPv4. This would be more like inserting a page redirect page in place of a home page, the user has the additional 'touble' of clicking on a link before landing up on the normal facebook home page. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If facebook, Google, Yahoo and other responsible Web companies do this for a day, a billion people will actually understand that they on IPv4 and understand that it is becoming obsolete.</div><div><br>
</div><div>This is just a thought. May be this is what is planned already ?</div><div><br></div><div>Sivasubramanian M</div>
