Abubakar Isa, Idris Abdulmumin

TL;DR
This paper compares IPv4 and IPv6 transition techniques, specifically Dual Stack and tunneling, analyzing their performance in terms of latency, throughput, and delay through simulations.
Contribution
It provides a detailed implementation and empirical comparison of IPv4-IPv6 transition mechanisms using GNS3 and Packet Tracer.
Findings
Dual Stack and tunneling mechanisms were successfully implemented.
Performance metrics show differences in latency, throughput, and delay.
Results aid in selecting suitable transition techniques during coexistence period.
Abstract
IPv4 which is the old version of Internet Protocol has a new successor named IP Next Generation (IPng) or IPv6 developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This new version is developed specifically to resolve some issues of IPv4 like scalability, performance and reliability. Although new version is ready for usage, it is obvious that it will take years to transit fully from IPv4 to IPv6. We have to use these two versions together for a long time. Therefore, we have to investigate and know transition mechanisms that we can use during transition period to achieve a transition with minimum problem. This research defines the essential information about compatibility transition mechanisms between IPv4-IPv6. Dual Stack is one of the IPv4-IPv6 compatible mechanism by running both IPv4 stack and IPv6 stack in a single node. 6 to 4 tunneling mechanism encrypts IPv6 packets in IPv4…
