World IPv6 Day: The Future is forever!

The Internet Society has announced the world IPv6 day:

On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations
that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test flight”.
The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the
industry – Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system
vendors and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6 to
ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.

Google publishes a nice statistic, which shows the IPv6 traffic to their site:

Tomorrow this graph should reach 1%? 10%? 50%? Let's wait for the results....
