Come and test the new Internet on World IPv6 Day: Wednesday
June 8, 2011
Studentnet is proud to announce that we have been working
with 2 schools preparing them to use Studentnet's Nextmail
Collaboration accounts to formally participate in ISOC Australia's
contribution to World IPv6 Day on June 8, 2011. Many thanks to
Simon, and Peter, from Waverley College and Wollondilly Anglican
College, respectively, for working with us on this exciting event
.
Each of these schools has made available a class of eager students
primed with the aim of testing the new IPv6-based Internet. A year
11 class from Waverley and a year 6 class from Wollondilly will be
doing their best to see what works (and what doesn't!) on the
World's major Internet sites that have committed to be accessible
using IPv6 on the day.
Representatives from ISOC, ISOC-AU and the Asia-Pacific IPv6 Forum
will be on hand to lend guidance and assistance to the students
and to observe the results.
But it's not too late for your school to come and help us break
Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and many more, on IPv6.
Listed below are ways (and how-to's) for you to prepare for your
school's involvement:
1. Make your school's web site IPv6 accessible:
- Register for a NoFrills Instant6 account at instant6.com
(
http://instant6.com/signup/)
- If you require assistance updating your DNS with a AAAA record,
we have dual stacked DNS's ready to help out. Feel free to contact
us
2. Accessing the IPv6 internet for you and your students:
- If you are an existing Studentnet Nextmail Collaboration account
customer you are already registered for IPv6 access. Simply
download the tunnel client software and use your existing Nextmail
account user name and password:
http://www.ipv6now.com.au/downloads.php
- Newcomers can obtain a free IPv6 tunnel account from IPv6Now,
here's the link:

3. Test the world's major web sites on IPv6. Use your newly
found access to try and break the world's IPv6 implementations on
the day: Wednesday, June 8, 2011 after 10am AEST.
4. Report your results: Did you find a problem with an IPv6
web site? Studentnet is collating the experiences of users from
around the world. Report
your results at

Studentnet's education network service can provide to you and your
school. We offer a full range of cloud based services including
Virtual Servers, Co-Location (CoLo and MoLo), Internet access and
connectivity, Security and Firewall services, availability
