Migration to Ipv6 from IPV4 by dual stack and tunneling techniques

Abstract

The internet can be accessible worldwide which is system of interconnected networks. IPv4 protocol in network enables data sharing between two or more computers which minimize time and energy wastages. In February 2011, all IPv4 addresses had vanished and now we are going for IPv6. Migration technique to IPv6 network is proposed in this project that overcomes all the limitations available in existing IPv4 network. Dual Stack migration and tunneling migration techniques has been proposed in this paper to transmit IPv6 packet through IPv4 network that enables and achieves full convergence in IPv6 network. The application of dual stack and tunneling techniques for migration from IPv4 to IPv6 has been simulated using GNS 3 (Graphical Network Simulator). The transfer of packets across the network for both static and dynamic scenarios has been implemented. The performance parameters like success rate and the minimum, average and maximum round - trip time, latency have been evaluated and analyzed for the transmissions.
