Abstract

IPv6 tunneling mechanism is the concept of running one protocol over another protocol. It involves encapsulation, decapsulation and tunneling management. It is used to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets and transfer them through the native IPv4 domains. There is less knowledge to identify which type of file transfer protocol will give the best performance in IPv4, IPv6 and IPv6 in IPv4. Therefore, the aim of this project was to develop test bed for all Internet Protocol involved in order to analyze performance metric FTP, FTPS and SFTP by collect the throughput, packet rate and tunneling overhead for TCP and UDP transmission protocol. D-ITG was used to generate eight different sizes of packet and send through FTP, FTPS and SFTP in three different environments. All the file transfer time will be collected and used to calculate the tunneling overhead of FTP, FTPS and SFTP. According to the statistical performance analysis, IPv6 has higher TCP throughput for FTPS and SFTP. This result is because of routing enhancements of IPv6, which means it has much quicker forwarding and processing ability of the packets than other methods. Researcher found that round trip time for TCP tunneling overhead is less compared to UDP tunneling overhead.
