“…We utilized the simulation, profile, link failure recovery, and ping configuration object modules in OPNET simulator (Zhuo et al, 2023) to create the networks to replicate online traffic and video streaming applications. We have independently set up four separate host-based translators, namely BIS, BIA, BIAv2, and BIH, utilizing RIP (Zhou, 2023) on the IPv4 network and RIPng (Lemeshko et al, 2023) on the IPv6 network, as well as OSPF (Hasan et al, 2023) on the IPv4 network and OSPFv3 (Castillo-Velázquez et al, 2023) on the IPv6 network. Four distinct scenarios have been developed based on these combinations: Scenario 1, Scenario 2, Scenario 3, and Scenario 4.…”

The impending exhaustion of internet protocol (IP) version four (IPv4) addresses necessitates a transition to the more expansive IP version six (IPv6) protocol. However, this shift faces challenges due to the widespread legacy of IPv4 infrastructure and resistance among organizations to overhaul networks. Host-based translators offer a critical bridging solution by enabling IPv6-only devices to communicate with IPv4-only devices through software-level protocol translation. This paper comprehensively evaluates four pivotal host-based translator mechanisms—bump-in-the-stack (BIS), bump-in-the-application programming interface (API) (BIA), BIA version 2 (BIAv2), and bump-in-the-host (BIH). Using simulated networks with diverse configurations of IPv4/IPv6 applications, hosts, and routing protocols, the authors assessed performance through metrics including packet loss, convergence time, traffic throughput, and overhead. The results reveal variability in effectiveness across both translators and scenarios. BIAv2 demonstrated advantages in throughput and overhead due to stateless mapping. The research underscores the importance of selecting the optimal translation approach for specific network environments and goals. It guides smoother IPv6 adoption by demonstrating how host-based translators can facilitate coexistence during transition. Further exploration of performance tradeoffs can continue guiding effective deployment strategies.
