Happy World IPv6 Day! Now go back to your IPv4 Internet and await the impending disaster.

Just kidding.

Today, June 6, 2012, is World IPv6 day. It is when Major ISPs, home networking equipment manufacturers, and web companies around the world are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products.

It remains to be seen whether today represents a major milestone in the global deployment of IPv6, or simply a clever marketing ploy to keep the issue top of mind. However, as the successor to IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet's continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development.

In honor of IPv6 day, we want to remind you that Kerio Control allows organizations to securely test IPv6 traffic over their corporate networks. Kerio Control's automatic support of the protocol means that it becomes an IPv6 router for your network. It currently acts as a stateful firewall for IPv6 traffic, and will soon add IPS, antivirus, web filtering, bandwidth management, and Kerio StaR reporting support for IPv6 traffic.

It's important to remember that the transition to IPv6 is a long process. The Internet Society, sponsor of World IPv6 day, has a goal of getting 1 percent of Internet traffic to use IPv6 today. Why only 1 percent? It's because they know most people aren't ready yet. So don't panic, and trust that Kerio will be ready for IPv6 when you are.

Thanks,
Andrew
