Akamai Technologies is planning to provide a real-time data visualization of IPv6 Web traffic served from its global platform during World IPv6 Day on June 8. To be available at www.akamai.com/ipv6, the Akamai visualization is designed to show the pattern of traffic served during the 24-hour period (from midnight to midnight Greenwich Mean Time).

Akamai has joined the Internet Society and other Internet businesses to encourage preparation and planning for the transition to IPv6. Akamai’s participation includes IPv6-enabling www.akamai.com, as well as supporting over 30 customers from around the globe that have opted in to Akamai’s IPv6 technology platform.

"Akamai’s role in the deployment of IPv6 is critical to its customers," said Mark Townsley, Cisco Distinguished Engineer, in a statement. "Online for over 25 years, www.cisco.com is one of the more sophisticated websites Akamai serves today.  Cisco and Akamai worked closely to tailor a solution that met our needs for World IPv6 Day, and we are confident that the largest global test-drive of IPv6 ever performed will be an important milestone toward the adoption of IPv6 worldwide."

Akamai will be opening up its IPv6 offerings to all interested customers over the course of the coming year. Networks with native IPv6 are invited to speak with Akamai to have IPv6 configured in their locations.
