Description
Summary:In this day, the use of Internet has growth rapidly in order to communicate with the whole world. There are many internet-enabled mobile devices that are affordable to everybody, thus it can increase the use of Internet. However, there are a huge demand on the IP addresses allocation that leads to the exhaustion of addresses in Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPV4). Therefore, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPV6) has been introduced to cater this problem. IPV6 uses 128-bit address or approximately 4.3 ×1038 addresses while IPV4 only uses 32-bit logical address. Hence, we have no choice but to migrate to IPV6 as IPV6 provides larger address space than IPV4. The main problem is there are many works need to be done to migrate to IPV6. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPV6. Migration includes upgrading, reconfiguring and testing all hardware and software. The migration from IPV4 to IPV6 cannot be force drastically. The study is done to compare the performance of IPV4 and IPV6 network by using Dual stack technology during multimedia streaming. The performance is analysed based on the GNS3 simulator and real Cisco devices. Comprehensive quantifiers were used to measure the performance between the two networks. It will be measured through Latency (delay), Throughput and Round Trip Time (RTT) or also known as Round Trip Delay Time (RTD). The results obtained from the analysis benchmark for the future to see the importance of migrating from IPV4 to IPV6 addresses.
