“…The LTE and Wi-Fi are compared against each other in [22] but without IPv6 protocol. The Qualnet simulator is used in [23] to compare IPv4 and IPv6 in older wireless networks, including 802.11a/g and 802.11b. By focusing on human shadowing and movement, the impact on 802.11ac with and without IPv6 is investigated in [24].…”

Full digital connectivity of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices demands several requirements including high-speed networks and a large number of IP addresses. The long term evolution (LTE) and very high throughput (VHT) 802.11ac networks are among the alternatives that can fulfill the speed requirements. To provide a large number of IP addresses, in addition to IPv4, LTE and 802.11ac also support IPv6. However, while the full digital connectivity cannot be fulfilled by IPv4 due to its limited address space and failure to support the scalability of the IoT applications, another major problem is that the potential benefits of IPv6 for LTE and 802.11ac mobile networks are completely ambiguous. The issue is further increased along with the design complexities inherent in LTE and 802.11ac infrastructures. Therefore, there are increasing concerns for cellular carriers and mobile service providers regarding migration to IPv6-only and whether the users in LTE-IPv6-only and 802.11ac-IPv6-only networks can achieve better performance than IPv4. To address the challenges associated with deploying IPv6-only in LTE and 802.11ac networks and quantify the performance, this work proposes a model. The model consists of a simulation environment with four distinct networks: LTE-IPv6-only, LTE-IPv4-only, 802.11ac-IPv6-only, and 802.11ac-IPv4-only. The model is further extended by setting up a real-world testbed environment to include four networks for replication of those simulations. To assure the most comprehensive environmental evaluation of the model, 128 distinct scenarios are developed and implemented, and the results are obtained in terms of quality of service parameters. The testbed results are compared to those of simulations to precisely assess the model. INDEX TERMS LTE, VHT, IPv6, QoS, Internet-of-Things (IoT).

The IPv4 address exhaustion is the main reason for the dwindling of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses. Because of the limited number of available IPv4 addresses and the exponential growth of the internet along with the number of number of connected devices to it, the development and deployment of its successor and next generation Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is moderately taking place in the internet.IPv6 gives us a very large address space, improved address design and security along with other advantages. However complete IPv4 deployment requires long haul and is a critical challenge which requires meticulous planning to avoid network breakdown. The migration from IPv4 to IPv6 cannot happen without delay and so these two protocols will exist side by side for quite some time. But these two are incompatible and hence different IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanisms have been proposed and developed. In our proposed work, we have experimented with the effects of IPv4 only interface , IPv6 only interface and Dual Stack interface mechanisms over IEEE wireless network standards of 802.11 ac,802.11n and 802.11g. The results are simulated and analysed using CISCO simulator software. Different network metrics have been calculated and compared like throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), delay and jitter to measure the performance of the networks.
