</font></div>
<div style="text-align:left"><font face="Arial">FYI -- drawing your attention to an announcement
we've just made of a major event we're coordinating for June
this year. I'm quite pleased that the major content
providers of the world are stepping up to do a visible test
drive of IPv6, and excited that we have the opportunity to
coordinate the activity.</font></div>
<div style="text-align:left"><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="text-align:left"><font face="Arial">This is a first announcement, and we'll be
following up with more detailed presentations at upcoming
technical meetings. As the announcement notes, we are looking
for more participation, and will be especially happy to get
some major non-US content providers signed up to participate.
It would be great if you could help us identify willing
content provider participants -- sign up is available here: <a href="https://www.isoc.org/isoc/contact/index.php?id=25" target="_blank">https://www.isoc.org/isoc/contact/index.php?id=25</a></font></div>

Facebook, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO),
websites with more
than one billion combined visits each day, are joining major
content delivery
networks Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM) and Limelight Networks (NASDAQ:
LLNW), and the
Internet Society, for the first global-scale trial of the new
Internet
Protocol, IPv6. On June 8, 2011, dubbed “World IPv6 Day,”
participants will
enable IPv6 on their main services for 24 hours. With IPv4
addresses running
out this year, the industry must act quickly to accelerate
full IPv6 adoption
or risk increased costs and limited functionality online for
Internet users
everywhere. The companies are coming together to help motivate
organizations
across the industry—Internet service providers, hardware
manufacturers,
operating system vendors and other web companies—to prepare
their services for
the transition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">The
Internet Society is
supporting World IPv6 Day as part of its efforts to accelerate
IPv6 deployment.
“2011 is a pivotal year in IPv6 deployment, and World IPv6 Day
will prove to be
an important milestone,” commented Leslie Daigle, the Internet
Society’s Chief
Internet Technology officer. “By providing an opportunity for
the Internet
industry to collaborate to test IPv6 readiness we expect to
lay the groundwork
for large-scale IPv6 adoption and help make IPv6 ready for
prime time. The
greater the scope of the trial, the more effective it will be
for all
participants so we wholeheartedly welcome additional
participants.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">IPv6, the
successor to the
protocol currently used on the Internet, was designed in the
late 1990s but has
not seen deployment on a global scale. With IPv4 address space
running out, the
industry cannot afford to wait much longer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Vint Cerf,
Google’s Chief
Internet Evangelist and co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol
stack, commented,
"In the short history of the Internet, the transition to IPv6
is one of
the most important steps we will take together to protect the
Internet as we know
it. It's as if the Internet was originally designed with a
limited number of
telephone numbers, and we're soon going to run out." Google
has offered a
separate IPv6-only version of search on </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://ipv6.google.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0, 0, 142)" lang="EN-US">ipv6.google.com</span></a></span><span style="font-family:Arial"> since
early 2008, and during World IPv6 Day the company will enable
IPv6 for its main
websites, including </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0, 0, 142)" lang="EN-US">www.google.com</span></a></span><span style="font-family:Arial"> and </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0, 0, 142)" lang="EN-US">www.youtube.com</span></a></span><span style="font-family:Arial">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Given the
diversity of
technology that powers the Internet, the global nature of the
trial is crucial
to identify unforeseen problems. “Participating in World IPv6
Day will allow us
to obtain real-life data that we can use to ensure a seamless
user experience
as we transition to IPv6,” said Adam Bechtel, Vice President
for Yahoo’s
Infrastructure Group. “We welcome this opportunity to
collaborate with the
technical community and provide leadership in addressing the
scaling challenges
facing the Internet.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">World IPv6
Day marks a key
milestone in enabling more and more computers and smart phones
to come online.
As more of the world moves online, IPv6 will be critical for
the Internet to
reach its full potential as a catalyst for growth, innovation
and economic
prosperity. IPv6 provides over four billion times more
addresses than IPv4,
which will help connect the billions of people not connected
today.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Facebook
views the rollout
of IPv6 as a critically important step to keep the world
connected. “As an
industry, we're working together to ensure future generations
continue to have
open and direct access to the Internet as we do today," said
Jonathan
Heiliger, Vice President of Technical Operations at Facebook.
"The number
of web-connected devices is exploding, and World IPv6 Day is a
crucial step in
ensuring they can all communicate."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Akamai
Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AKAM), a leading provider of cloud optimization
services, will enable
customers to participate in World IPv6 Day. "IPv6 adoption is
still in its
infancy," said Harald Prokop, Senior Vice President of
Engineering at
Akamai. "We stand ready to support customers through this
important trial,
and believe that early planning and testing will ensure a
smooth transition to
IPv6." To support the transition to IPv6, Akamai customers
will be able to
seamlessly make their existing websites available via IPv6
without requiring
disruptive changes to their origin networking infrastructure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Tom
Coffeen, Director of
Global Network Architecture for Limelight Networks, said, "As
part of our
ongoing commitment to IPv6, Limelight Networks today is
actively delivering
customer content over the world’s first fully IPv6-compliant
content delivery
service. We are pleased to participate in World IPv6 Day to
encourage the
adoption of IPv6 across the Internet and to transform address
resource
challenges into innovation and competitive advantage for our
customers."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">One of the
goals of World
IPv6 Day is to expose potential issues under controlled
conditions and address
them as soon as possible. The vast majority of users should be
able to access
services as usual, but in rare cases, misconfigured or
misbehaving network
equipment, particularly in home networks, may impair access to
participating
websites during the trial. Current estimates are that 0.05% of
users may
experience such problems, but participating organizations will
be working
together with operating system manufacturers, home router
vendors and ISPs to
minimize the number of users affected. Participants will also
be working
together to provide tools to detect problems and offer
suggested fixes in
advance of the trial.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Arial">About
the need for IPv6</span></b><span style="font-family:Times"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">IPv4 has
approximately four
billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each
Internet-connected device). The explosion in the number of
people, devices and
web services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of
space. IPv6, the
next-generation Internet protocol, which provides over four
billion times more
space, will connect the billions of people not connected today
and will help
ensure the Internet can continue its current growth rate.</span></p>
