Abstract

1Pv6 is introduced because of the weakness of 1Pv4. It has 128 bit and long enough compared to IPv4 addressing space. There has a lot of benefit ofiPv6 than 1Pv4. One of them is IPv6 has better header format. The header of 1Pv6 has been designed in a way to speed~up the routing process. 1Pv6 also has provision for extension: It has been designed in a way that a protocol can be extended easily to meet the requirements of emerging technologies or new applications. Besides that it also has security features. 1Pv6 has encryption and authentication option to ensure confidentiality and packet's integrity. However, is it this security feature will make 1Pv6 become a secure protocol? Is it this 1Pv6 is secured enough to replace IPv4? This project will try to test the security of 1Pv6 to find the answer for each of IPv6 security issues. 1Pv6 network will be attack by ping flood which is one of DoS attack. How does 1Pv6 overcome the attack? Is it 1Pv6 network will down during the attack? If IPv6 is down what need to do to secure the 1Pv6 network? By this way, the security of IPv6 will be tested and the truth about 1Pv6 will be known after this project has been finish.
