Network Migration and Performance Analysis of IPv4 and IPv6

Protocols represent an essential role in today's communication world, where it is not possible for one computer to communicate with another. Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the first generation of internet protocols, which consists of 32bit. However, with the passage of time and with frequent use of the internet the existing addresses has been finished, and this lead to the looking for new IPs. A new network layer protocol has been proposed named Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). This paper focus on internet Protocol version 6 and it's transition or migration techniques then will make performance analysis of ipv4 and ipv6 for data and voice traffics under using riverbed. Through this paper, we proved the dual stack is the best technique for migration from ipv4 to ipv6 and then the tunnel technique is better technique after dual stack. In addition, we proved the pure ipv6 network and dual stack have high performance than ipv4 network.
