Test your IPv6 connectivity
Here is a very handy site that checks your IPv6 connectivity, including that of your DNS resolvers:
IPv6 conection check (Is my IPv6 working)
I noticed today a cool site with a IPv6 conection check. It's nothing revolutionary, but still cool: http://www.ismyipv6working.com
The idea is similar to the very old www.kame.net running turtle.

I saw yesterday on the SwiNog mailing list that there is a nice website which collects IPv6 enabled websites. Is is swiss centric, but also has international entries in the database.
Please feel free to add any new site to is, if it has some meaningful content.
Google tests IPv6
Today I saw a Post on the IPv6 Ops list that Google is now reachable over IPv6 on a special URL. This is a small but jet significant move in the right direction. Hope more big players will start using IPv6 soon.
IPv6 and IPv4 – big trouble coming, and soon – Mixed Signals – Rupert Goodwins’s Blog at ZDNet.co.uk Community
IPv6 get's more and more attention. Many experts say, that it is already to late for a smoth transision to IPv6.

The IPv4 address space gets less and less. IANA projects to be out of allocation by 18-Jun-2011 to give out to Registries. The Registry pool in turn is projectet to be empty by 12-Aug-2012. Thats not a very long time from now. This Page has some interesting graphs on the IPv4 space usage. So you should consider moving on and get IPv6 rolled out in your network and implemented in your software. Many of the Open source tools already support IPv6 with production quality eg. Apache, Power-DNS, Firefox, Thunderbird, just to name a view. On the operating system side it also looks pretty well. Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, OpenVMS, MacOS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista all support IPv6 out of the box.
The more frustrating part is support for consumer networking devices like ADSL Routers or Firewalls. Only the big players support IPv6 on there higher priced equipment.
For all of you that are luky and already have IPv6 connectivity here is somepthig for you.
It's not a really new site. I first heared of it on a RIPE meeting some years ago. But with IPv6 getting more and more attraction I thought it is worth a post ...

I found this cool video of a performance at RIPE 55.
