Abstract:

Exhausted IPv4 addresses space has impetus interest in the next generation of Internet Protocol IPv6. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed the IPv6 protocol that will replace the IPv4 version completely after a transition period, during which these two protocols will cohabit concurrently. However, these two protocols are incompatible; various transition mechanisms have been implemented to enable domains using the IPv4 protocol to communicate with those who use the IPv6 protocol. This research expounded the flexible migration from IPv4 to IPv6 environment involving coexistence network configurations, performance comparison of sending receiving IPv6 datagrams via dual stack and tunnel mechanisms. The authors have investigated both transition techniques for communication of IPv4/IPv6 datagrams simultaneously in an enterprise environment.
