“…Manual tunneling showed a slight increase in latency across all classes. This was expected due to the operation of the tunnel process and confirms results found in [6]. The reduction in latency for the automatic tunneling suggests more efficient tunnel establishment than for manual tunneling confirming findings from [13].…”

“…A number of studies have compared the performance of 6in4 tunneling compared to pure IPv4 or IPv6 [6], [7], [8]. Unsurprisingly they determine that throughput is slightly increased due to the additional header and agree that native IPv6 has lower end-to-end delay than IPv4.…”

“…As described above, there is a large body of research providing comparisons of QoS in native IPv4 and IPv6. There are also a number of studies that investigate performance of various transition methods [4], [6], [9]. A reoccurring theme for the various studies investigated is the lack of performance analysis during periods of congestion on the network.…”

IPv6 networks are rarely fully IPv6 from end to end particularly when interconnected over other providers core data networks, hence the need for IPv6 transition methods or mechanisms. Previous studies have identified some potential impact on performance where transitions occur. This study considered implementations where Quality of Service (QoS) service policies have been applied in the IPv6 network to determine if the transition mechanisms were able to guarantee the same performance and level of service when the IPv6 traffic transitions over a core IPv4 network. Using a test lab, traffic generators and data capture tools the study was able to fully test the transition mechanisms using data rates and link speeds that replicated equipment and traffic levels used in real world implementations. The study showed that the Quality of Service classes applied were maintained across the transition network providing the service guarantees required for a range of traffic classes. Results indicated that the transition implementations on the devices used (Cisco ISR 4351) translate the QoS settings from IPv6 to IPV4 and vice versa were highly effective and with negligible additional impact on performance occurring due to the additional processing required.

“…The only feasible option is IPSec ESP in Tunnel mode which does not cause incompatibilities. NAT also elevates problems for IKE negotiations if the parameters are modified [9], [10]. For example while using pre-shared key authentication in main mode; the address change can lead to tossing out packets.NAT can also lead to overlapping Security Association Database (SAD) entries when multiple nodes behind the NAT try to make a contact with same host.…”

IPSec is the amalgam of protocols dispensing security in IP networks. It has been the rudimentary security component in IPv4 and IPv6 networks providing for data authentication, integrity and confidentiality. Earlier security was not embedded at the IP level however with emergence of large scale public and corporate internets, the user data became vulnerable to malicious activities like privacy attacks and thefts. To mitigate this and secure network traffic, IETF introduced IPSec for robust network communications. IPSec is a framework that provides sublime options for encryption and authentication of data packets. IPSec architecture provides a flexible and agile approach for securing network traffic. Initially IPSec was introduced as an additional component in IPv4, but in next generation internet protocol IPv6, it's an inbuilt component implemented as a part of extension header. Although IPSec is the panacea for securing IP protocol, its implementation and management is unequivocally complex in nature. The implementation involves key management and exchange through IKE, protocol negotiations and establishment of security associations which can significantly decrease performance and degrade IP communication. This fact has a significant impact on real time communication. This paper makes an empirical investigation of the parameters that are affected by implementation of IPSec in IPv6 and 6to4 Tunneled Migration Networks. The investigation is significant and evaluates about the performance decay that is encountered by incorporating security. The simulation approach is used and measurements are performed in OPNET Simulator ver. 14.5.

Migration to IPv6 becomes a priority with the draining of IPv4 addresses. But both IPv4 and IPv6 have different structures, and directly bringing IPv6 into the current IPv4 network does not work due to their compatibility issues. Therefore, Dual-Stack, Tunneling, and Protocol Translator mechanisms are adopted to smooth the transition between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The transitions allow us to communicate between both IPv4 and IPv6 networks together despite having their different structures. The proper transition mechanism has to be adopted for a complex network, and the in-depth study and analysis can help find the best transition technique. In this paper, the 6to4 tunneling is configured for a real-time network using real-time applications-FTP and Email, and the performance of the transition between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing networks is evaluated. For analysis, the automatic and manual 6to4 tunneling is configured simultaneously with Routing Information Protocol/ Routing Information Protocol next generation and Open Shortest Path First/Open Shortest Path First version 3 routing protocols. The networks are configured and simulated on the Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition 17.5. These cases are analyzed and compared for global performance parameters as traffic dropped, network convergence duration, and traffic sent. The object performance parameters for point-to-point connections are analyzed as queuing delay and throughput for incoming and outgoing traffic. This novel work is helpful for researchers as it gives a detailed study to choose the appropriate tunneling technique with a mixture of proper routing protocols for efficient performance.
