p2pnet.net News:- ICANN says the fact its IPv6 nameserver address has been added to the Net’s root DNS zone means "trillions more addresses" than the IPv4 system used by most networks today.

"By taking this significant step forward in the transition to IPv6, ICANN is supporting the innovations through which the Internet evolves to meet the growing needs of a global economy," it says in a statement.

On 20 July 2004 at 18:33 UTC, the IPv6 AAAA records for the Japan (.jp) and Korea (.kr) country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) nameservers became visible in the root zone file with serial number 2004072000. It is expected that the IPv6 records for France (.fr) will be added shortly.

"Other requests are pending and will be added in accordance with documented procedure, which was developed through ICANN’s unique multi-stakeholder consensus-based approach," says ICANN.
