Investigating Security Issues and Preventive Mechanisms in Ipv6 Deployment

Internet Protocols are utilized to empower the communication between the computing devices in the computer networks. IPv6 offers additional address space and more noteworthy security than IPv4. The progress from IPv4 to IPv6 has been finished through three primary change systems: dual-stack, tunneling, and translation. The IPv6 progress relies upon the similarity with the enormous introduced base of IPv4 nodes and routers just as keeping up with the security of the network from possible threats and vulnerabilities of both Internet protocols. This research identifies potential security issues in the transition mechanisms and proposing prevention mechanisms to the problems identified. Dual-Stack & Tunneling mechanisms were completely implemented in this research work and the security test was based on dual-stack network. A simulation has been designed by using GNS3 and the penetration test by the THC-IPv6 toolkit. After the implementation of simulation, IPv6 in the dual-stack mechanism was identified as vulnerable to DoS via RA flooding and IPv6 fragmentation attacks that shown the IPv6 security problems. Therefore, IPv6 ACLs and RA guards were proposed in order to protect from flooding attacks and VFR should be configured to prevent IPv6 fragmentation.

COMPARISON AND TRANSITION STUDY OF INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4 & 6 (IPV4 &IPV6)

With the evolution of internet over the years the transition from ipv4 to 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 protocoltranslation. This paper demonstrates comparison study between ipv4 and ipv6 and the transition from ipv4 to ipv6.

IPv6 Transition Mechanism on UKMNet Network Environment

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.

Study on Migration from IPv4 to IPv6 of a Large Scale Network

This work mainly addresses the design a large scale network using dual stack mechanisms. We concentrated on the most imperative theoretical notions of the IPv6 protocol, such as IP addressing, address allocation, routing with the OSPF and BGP protocols and routing protocols performance in dual stack network using GNS3 simulations and Wireshark Network protocol analyzer. It is evaluate a real large-scale network environment utilizing accessible end-to-end estimation methods that focuses on a large-scale IPv4 and IPv6 backbone and made performance the IPv4 and IPv6 network. In this paper, we compiled IPv6 address planning in a large scale network, performance metrics of each network in terms of time sequence graph, round trip time, TCP throughput, TCP connection time and the number of TCP connections per second that a client can establish with a remote server. It is found that, a minor degradation in the throughput of the TCP, TCP response time and a lower packet loss rate are arise in a real large scale dual stack network. We also showed a concise case study on relationship between RTT and network topology, which is cooperative to develop the performance of IPv6 networks. The result shows the proposed scheme for network migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is more reliable than other existing schemes.

On the Migration of a Large Scale Network from IPv4 to IPv6 Environment

This work mainly addresses the design a large scale network using dual stack mechanisms. We focused on the most important theoretical concepts of the IPv6 protocol, such as addressing, address allocation, routing with the OSPF and BGP protocols and routing protocols performance in dual stack network using GNS3 and Wireshark simulators. we have a tendency to measure a perfect model and a true large-scale network atmosphere victimization out there end-to-end activity techniques that focuses on a large-scale IPv4 and IPv6 backbone and created performance the IPv4 and IPv6 network. In this paper, we compiled IPv6 address planning in large scale network, performance statistics of each network in terms of TCP throughput, delay jitters, packet loss rate, and round trip time. It is found that, a minor degradation within the throughput of the TCP, delay jitter, a lower packet loss rate, and a rather longer round trip time are occurred in a real large scale dual stack network.
