IPv4/IPv6 Transition (original) (raw)

Comparison and Transition Study of Internet Protocol Version 4 & 6 (IPV4 &IPV6)

International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science, 2017

With the evolution of internet over the years the transition from ipv4to ipv6 has become a great necessity. Due to the shortage of ipv4 address space provided by the IANA (internet assigned numbers authority) we are left with no choice but to go for ipv6 transition process. By default, ipv4 and ipv6 network cannot communicate with each other, so we have to provide the facility of communication between them. This facility can be provided by various transition mechanisms which includes dual stack mechanism, tunnelling and NAT protocol translation. This paper demonstrates comparison study between ipv4 and ipv6 and the transition from ipv4 to ipv6.

Performance Analysis of Three Transition Mechanisms between IPv6 Network and IPv4 Network: Dual Stack, Tunneling and Translation

2016

Due to the increasing demand of the Internet, we are facing a great problem of the depletion of our existing IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) network. To solve the situation, we have to use IP version 6 in coming years. But the IPv4 network will not be opt out, but also coexist with IPv6 network. For the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and vice versa, there are three prominent transition mechanisms are used. They are Dual Stack, Tunneling and Translation. In this paper, the performances of these three mechanisms have been analyzed. IPv6 header format, its security and the routing also have been focused. For the simulation Packet Tracer simulation software has been used .

Evaluation and Study of Transition Techniques Addressed on IPv4-IPv6

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2013

IPv4/IPv6 transition rolls out many challenges to the world of internet. IETF proposes various transition techniques including dual IP stack, IP translation and tunnelling transition mechanisms. A detailed study is made on the IPv6 addressing architecture. Out of the three mechanisms Tunnelling proves to be most effective in the study which has been done. The 6rd mechanism that is used for IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanism permits an IPv6 mobile node to roam into IPv4 based network and get serviced besides roaming in IPv6 based network. This paper aims at a comparative study on the three transition techniques such as Softwire mesh which supports Dual Stack, NAT444 which supports translation and IPv6 Rapid Development (6rd) mechanism in tunnelling mechanism.

Design and Comparison Migration between Ipv4 and Ipv6 Transition Techniques

2019

IPv4 which is the old version of Internet Protocol has a new successor named IP Next Generation (IPng) or IPv6 developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This new version is developed specifically to resolve some issues of IPv4 like scalability, performance and reliability. Although new version is ready for usage, it is obvious that it will take years to transit fully from IPv4 to IPv6. We have to use these two versions together for a long time. Therefore, we have to investigate and know transition mechanisms that we can use during transition period to achieve a transition with minimum problem. This research defines the essential information about compatibility transition mechanisms between IPv4-IPv6. Dual Stack is one of the IPv4-IPv6 compatible mechanism by running both IPv4 stack and IPv6 stack in a single node. 6 to 4 tunneling mechanism encrypts IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to make communications possible, from IPv6 network over IPv4 network. This has been configured ...

This paper contains the very important theoretical concepts of new generation Internet Protocol IPv6 which solve the problem of IP addressing and also focus on IPv6 address format, routing and three mechanism of migration from IPv4 to IPv6 network: Dual Stack, Translation and Tunneling using Network Simulator as Packet tracer. This paper more emphasis on network migration from IPv4 to IPv6 which is near future trend.

A STUDY ON IPv4 and IPv6: THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR CO-EXISTENCE

International Journal of Information Systems and Engineering

This paper aims at evaluating, compare and report result based on the performance of two protocol stacks (IPv4 and IPv6) in terms of various parameters that is analyzed when the data is being transmitted from one client to another or to a server over a wired network on IPv4 in comparison with the IPv6, thus proposing a system that supports the coexistence of both IPv4 and IPv6. The issue of the new-generation numbering system of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is addressed as exhaustion of address space of the numbering system of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) becomes a problem. An explained study is performed on the IPv6 addressing architecture and yet the almighty goals are still not met. IPv4/IPv6 transition unfolds a lot of problems relating to the internet world. This paper proposes some transition mechanisms involving Dual Stack and Tunneling transition techniques. An explained study is performed on the addressing architecture. However these techniques prove to be most efficient in the study which has been performed. This paper targets at a comparative study on the throughputs in bits/ seconds, packet throughputs, delay in networks, response time in seconds of both IPv4 and IPv6. Hence, since the system proposes for coexistence of both IPv4 and IPv6, the solution projected in this paper is "DUAL STACK where you can and TUNNEL where you have to".

A Comparative Analysis of Transition Mechanisms for IPv6/IPv4 Routing Environment

1999

This paper introduces an analysis for IPv6/IPv4 routed protocols on different transition mechanisms named IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers. These mechanisms include providing complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and tunneling IPv6 packets over IPv4 routing infrastructures. They are designed to allow IPv6 nodes to maintain complete compatibility with IPv4, which should greatly simplify the deployment of IPv6 in the Internet, and facilitate the eventual transition of the entire Internet to IPv6.

Design and implementation scheme for deploying IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel

Journal of Network and Computer Applications, 2008

IPv4 to IPv6 transition is an inevitable process when deploying IPv6 networks within the present IPv4 Internet. The two protocols are expected to coexist for a number of years during the transition period. A number of transition techniques exist to address the various needs of different networks. One of them is tunneling mechanism. Tunneling means encapsulation of one protocol into another one so that the encapsulated protocol is send as payload on the network. In this paper, a scheme is presented for tunneling of IPv4 packets in IPv6 packets. This scheme will be useful in the future when most of the networks would be converted into IPv6 networks involving minimum IPv4 routing.

A Survey on Next Generation Internet Protocol: IPv6

International Journal of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, 2014

IPv4 is the most dominant addressing protocol used on the Internet and most private networks today. With the advent of wide variety of devices and upcoming technologies, the limited addresses of IPv4 are not able to cope with the current internet. IPv6 was mainly developed to resolve the addressing issues as well the security concerns which are lacked by IPv4. One of the major challenges in the internet is to deploy IPv6. In the transition to IPv6, both IPv6 and IPv4 will co-exist until IPv6 eventually replaces IPv4. In this paper an attempt is being made to enlighten the importance of IPv6 in current scenario and the key reasons to deploy the IPV6, and also discusses the standards and techniques which are required for smooth interoperation between the two protocols.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON INTERNET PROTOCOL IPV6 IN NETWORKING

The internet protocol IPv4 has met requires for years, but the number of addresses, while huge is finite. It has several shortcomings which are unavoidable and complicate such exhausted address space, security issues, non-availability of auto-configuration and in some cases present a obstacle to, the advance improvement of the Internet. The resolution to mitigate this problem was the development of the new IPv6 protocol which enlarges the address space from 32-bits to 128-bits. IPv6 assembles a high address space, superior address design and better safety among other profits. IPv6 distribution necessitates deep and careful firm to minimize network disruption and ensure that the profits of IPv6 are accessed. Due to the issues of IPv4, now-a-days IPv6 is extremely popular in associations, corporations and Internet Service Providers (ISP). In this paper, we aim to provide a Literature Survey which describes the various techniques to implement IPv6 transition most optimal method to increase the network performances.
