Study & Implementation of Proxy-based IPv4/IPv6 Transition Mechanism

Internet connections still use IPv4 as the primary address protocol and it is now facing exhaustion. However, academic institutions specifically in the Philippines should devise steps to address the exhaustion of IPv4. In this paper, this is brought to light as we present the IPv4 to IPv6 campus transition techniques to address the issue. The experiment is carried out in Central Luzon State University and is assessed if the university is able to adopt the IPv6 transition in their campus network. Two IPv6 transition mechanisms were implemented and tested. As a general result, it has been found out, through testbeds, that the dual-stack transition mechanism is more suitable than 6 to 4 tunnel broker. The results have also shown that 6 to 4 tunnel broker was outperformed by dual-stack transition mechanism in all areas and presents better performance. Additionally, results also showed that IPv4 presents slight advantages in terms of network performance than IPv6 with a very small percentage in difference, and this does mean that migration to IPv6 is possible without performance detriments. Furthermore, the results also provide a proof of concept for the university especially in the Philippines to consider IPv6 for future migration within their campus network.

Dual Stack

The transition between the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) will be a long process during both protocol coexists and it unreasonable to expect that many millions of IPv4 nodes will be converted overnight. Mobility is becoming ubiquitous nowadays. This paper has described about a background study of IPv4 and IPv6, the needs of IPv6, transition mechanisms in the various architectures, and comparison of the IPv4 and IPv6 in two major areas; header format and transition mechanism. Then, the transformation of IPv4 to IPv6 addressing by using tunnel and dual stack protocol will be discussed.
