survey on the performance analysis of IPv6 transition technologies

Abstract

As the public IPv4 address space has already been depleted, the full deployment of IPv6 became indispensable, especially for service providers, as it offers a sufficient address pool. However, the ongoing IPv6 transition seems to be a lengthy task because of the numerous challenges it faces. Therefore, it is expected that IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist for a long time. Consequently, many transition technologies have been developed for this purpose. Several research papers have conducted performance analysis for a number of these transition technologies and even compared them based on some measuring metrics like RTT, throughput, jitter, packet loss, and so on. This paper reviews the results of these papers, discusses their findings, and gives some guidelines fora feasible benchmarking methodology.

A Comprehensive Survey on the Most Important IPv4aaS IPv6 Transition Technologies, their Implementations and Performance Analysis

“…different implementations and network environments, each depending on different factor such as: type of test, configuration, technology, topology and more as discussed in [34].…”

“…Proving that dual stack is the best technique, achieving better performance in solving the limitations of IPv4, [45] proposed a methodology of four phases: Build & Design network, Statistics, Simulator, and the results of the analysis. The analysis and based on three different scenarios (IPv4, IPv6, and [34].…”

Analysis of BGP4 Peering Establishment Time on IPv6 Connection over 6PE and 6VPE

“…Al-Hamadani and Lencse reviewed the results of several papers that analyzed the performance of IPv6 transition technologies. The parameters that were compared from the papers were jitter, RTT, throughput, and packet-loss [17]. Vinodkumar, Vijayalakshmi, Kavitha, and Karthick studied the implementation of IPv6 networks for internets services and VPN in IPv6 network using MPLS [18].…”
