Google to roll out ipv6 to youtube
Google has announced plans to implement ipv6 on YouTube.
networkworld.com gives some extra information about Google’s plans with IPv6:
Google already supports IPv6 with its Search, Alerts, Docs, Finance, Gmail, Health, iGoogle, News, Reader, Picasa, Maps and Wave products.
Google’s Chrome operating system — whose source code was released this week — supports IPv6, as does its Android platform for mobile devices. For example, if a Verizon Droid user connects to a Wi-Fi network with IPv6, the user will be able to connect to IPv6 Web sites.
Next up for Google’s IPv6 development team is YouTube.
“YouTube is the IPv6 team’s number one priority right now,†says Erik Kline, IPv6 software engineer at Google. “We haven’t said anything about the timeframe for that yet.â€
Google admits it isn’t seeing much IPv6 traffic yet on the Web services it has enabled so far.
“It’s somewhere on the order of the 0.2% range of Google users have IPv6 access,†says Lorenzo Colitti, network engineer at Google. “Around 40% of that traffic is native. We’ve seen healthy growth in the last year.â€

Why IPv6 Is Like Broccoli
What's wrong with IPv6, what's right, and why none of us really has a choice, according to supporters.
"After IPv4 runs out, it's not the same as running out of oil, where there would be no cars running the next morning," said Alain Durand, director of IPv6 architecture and Internet governance in Comcast's Office of the CTO. "Everything that has been deployed will still work, so don't panic."
