“…Narayan, Shang, and Fan [17] [18] studied the performance of TCP and UDP traffic with IPv6 and IPv4 on a Fast Ethernet LAN, using various distributions of Windows and Linux. A similar study was conducted by Kolahi et al [19], where the TCP throughput of Windows Vista and Windows XP was compared using IPv6 and IPv4, also on a Fast Ethernet LAN.…”

Abstract-IPv6 is the response to the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It was defined almost twenty years ago by the IETF as a replacement of IPv4, and little by little, it is becoming more preponderant as the Internet protocol. The growth of Internet has led to the development of high performance networks. On one hand, Ethernet has evolved significantly and today it is common to find 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks in LANs. On the other hand, another approach for high performance networking is based on RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) which offers innovative features such as kernel bypass, zero copy, offload of splitting and assembly of messages in packets to the CAs (Channel Adapters), etc. InfiniBand is currently the most popular technology that implements RDMA. It uses verbs instead of sockets and a big effort of the community is required to port TCP/IP software to InfiniBand, to take advantage of its benefits. Meanwhile, IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand) is a protocol that has been proposed and permits the execution of socket-based applications on top of InfiniBand, without any change, at the expense of performance. In this paper, we make a performance evaluation of IPv6 and IPv4 over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and IPoIB. Our results show that 10 Gigabit Ethernet has a better throughput than IPoIB, especially for small and medium payload sizes. However, as the payload size increases, the advantage of 10 Gigabit Ethernet is reduced in comparison to IPoIB/FDR. With respect to latency, IPoIB did much better than 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Finally, our research also indicates that in a controlled environment, IPv4 has a better performance than IPv6.

“…In [6], two 6-over-4, and IPv6 in IPv4 tunneling implementations are tested and experimental performance results are analyzed, in comparison with a homogeneous IPv6-only network. In [7], the performance of Linux operating systems is evaluated in relation to an IPv4-v6 Configured Tunnel and a 6to4 Tunnel. Four workstations were employed to build the testbed.…”

IPv6 has yet to become more than a worthy successor of IPv4, which remains, for now, the dominant Internet Protocol. This is due to the complicated transition period through which the Internet will have to go, until IPv6 will completely replace IPv4. One of the challenges introduced by this transition is to decide which technology is more feasible for a particular network scenario. To that end, this article proposes the IPv6 Network Evaluation Testbed (IPv6NET), a research project whose ultimate goal is to obtain feasibility data in order to formulate a coherent, scenario-based IPv6 transition strategy. The paper presents the overview of IPv6NET, the testing methodology and empirical results for a specific network scenario. The presented empirical feasibility data includes network performance data such as latency, throughput, packet loss, and operational capability data, such as configuration, troubleshooting and applications capability.

Abstract-This paper provide an overview of behaviour of transition mechanisms, with and without VPN Protocols. Performance metrics related to networks have been gathered from test-bed implementations. The two transition mechanisms we will be evaluating are 4to6 and 6to4. Both of these mechanism have certain advantages and disadvantages. VPN protocols, PPTP and IPsec were configured on the transition mechanism and compared with selected networking metrics. The key networking metrics that were captured in this research were throughput,delay,jitter,DNS throughput,DNS delay, DNS jitter, for both TCP and UDP protocols. VoIP throughput was also measured and discussed. The testbed consisted of two (IPv4/IPv6) capable Cisco routers, and two machines which were running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012.
