Abstract
The production of IPv4 has ceased its supply and this has created a global phenomenon that is faced by Internet providers and users around the world. This means that IPv6 implementation phase has begun and IPv4 duties will be taken over by the IPv6 protocol. Technically, IPv4 and IPv6 cannot communicate directly due to the difference of architecture. IPv6 transition mechanism is used as a medium to allow both protocols to communicate and exist together on the same network. This study is performed to examine and investigate the performance of the 6to4 and Dual Stack transition mechanism based on performance metrics like throughput, jitter and end-to-end delay when implemented on UKMNet network. The test infrastructure is built on the UKMNet network and the test was conducted using the testbed approached. The final result found that the 6to4 mechanism is more reliable and easy to implement on UKMNet environment compared to dual stack mechanism.
Highlights
The deterioration of IPv4 addresses has led Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to create Internet Protocol generation (IPng) or IPv6
According to the study made by Abdullah and Othman (2015), most of the IPv6 researchers often use Quality of Service (QoS) parameter like throughput, jitter and end-to-end delay to determine their network performance when implemented with IPv6 transition mechanism
This study is performed to find the best transition mechanism to be implemented on UKMNet network and all the specification build in this study is based on UKMNet network environment
Summary
The deterioration of IPv4 addresses has led Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to create Internet Protocol generation (IPng) or IPv6. Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC), the RIRs distribute IP addresses to Malaysia has made the final distribution of their IP addresses in the same year, on April 19, 2011 and this means that the IPv6 transition in Malaysia should have entered implementation phases. This phenomenon indirectly creates a scenario of coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Namely Internet world Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed IPv6 transition mechanisms This mechanism is designed as an intermediate medium for IPv4 and IPv6 protocol to communicate
