World IPv6 Day?

[Bill Walker]

 Not many I would suspect, I know of three caches here, both of static 
 and dynamic content and none of those are anywhere near v6 capable. But 
 then again with Akamai's deployment model it wouldn't take much once 
 their code has IPv6 support in it.

 I would suspect they will run IPv6 from their 'major' nodes and see 
 what happens. Deploying it to regional ISP caches would be the logical 
 next step if everything goes ok.
