A global trial of the net’s new addressing system is being planned for 8 June. The test is being held to raise awareness about the imminent change from version 4 of the addressing scheme to version 6. Net giants Google, Facebook, Akamai and Yahoo have committed to taking part in the “test flight” of IPv6. Net firms are being encouraged to switch to IPv6 as addresses in the old scheme will run out by November 2011.
