On 6th6 June 2014 there is a campaign to turn off IPv4 for the day! see:
[https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/IT_professionals_worldwide_Turn_off_the_Legacy_IP_Protocol_IPv4_for_the_day_of_06th_June_2014 secure.avaaz.org]
 
==How to do IPv6 Only==
Some notes:
*Sometimes it's easier just to turn IPv4 off on the computer
*You will lose access to some sites if they don't have IPv6

===Tested IPv6 only configurations===
A&A BT FTTC - Openreach Modem - FireBrick 2700 - Apple Computer
 
===IPv6 NAT64 gateway ===
AAISP provide an IPv6 to IPv4 gateway, which allows one to connect to the IPv4 world from an IPv6-only machine.
To use this, simply change the DNS server addresses to 2001:8b0:6464::1 and 2001:8b0:6464::2
 
Note that the IPv6 router advertisements from your router may still broadcast the normal DNS server addresses.
 
==Still=How to Testtest===
We have 2 IP test web pages:
*http://ip4.help.me.uk
*http://ip6.help.me.uk
 
Each will return your corresponding IP address.
 
If you get bored looking for IPv6 websites, there is always http://loopsofzen.co.uk to keep you occupied.
