Abstract

IPv6 is the next generation of Internet protocol that will replace IPv4 in the nearly future. The exhaustion of IPv4 address will be approached in few years time and it is possible to migrate from IPv4 network into IPv6 network. Subject to this matter, there are many studies and researches have been conducted as the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 require high level of compatibility and clear procedure for easy and independent deployment of IPv6. However, the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 will be a long process and required to coexist with during the migration stage. There are several transition mechanisms which proposed by the IETF Next Generation Work Group, however, dual stack and IPv6 tunnelling is the most popular mechanism that is being practiced currently. Although performance aspects for both of these mechanisms are required for practical deployment, they have yet to be empirically evaluated. Upon evaluate which is a better mechanism; the experimental testbed of dual stack and IPv6 tunnelling respectively will be conducted and analyzed in certain performance metrics throughout the project.
