Abstract:
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 compares 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. IPv4/IPv6 transition unfolds a lot of problems relating to the internet world. This paper proposes some transition mechanisms involving different 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 co-existence of both IPv4 and IPv6, the solution projected the comparison between the two.
