• ISPs will offer IPv6 connectivity to some home and corporative users for testing purposes.
• Data centers, web hosting companies, and other types of services providers will also have their IPv6 networks enabled.They will encourage their customers to use IPv6 and to participate in this test or will select some customers for the IPv6 as pilot tests.
• End users with either native or tunneled IPv6 connectivity in their homes or businesses will participate, helping to verify the operation of IPv6-enabled services.Activities, contests and prizes will be avaible.
• Participants in the Campus Party Brasil, will have native IPv6 connectivity, will also have an active role in the test!

What purpose will this test serve?

• To promote the adoption of IPv6.
• To test the operation of IPv6 enabled networks and IPv6 based services in a coordinated and organized way in order to minimize potential negative effects caused by failures.
• To check for potential problems related to the transition techniques between IPv4 and IPv6 such as automatic 6to4 or Teredo Tunnels.
