Today is Friday the 16th of May 2025
Good Evening, and Welcome to Makiki

Makiki is a IPv6 advocacy website. IPv6 is the future of the Internet, with about 50% of traffic now carried over IPv6. IPv6 includes many improvements over IPv4, such as automatic global addressing (SLAAC), no broadcast, and end to end connectivity, creating non-repudiation.

Makiki has two websites, www.makiki.ca which is IPv6 only and www.makikiweb.com which is dual-stack
