CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

The exhaustion of the remaining pool of unallocated IPv4 address is approaching within the next few years. It has been a concern by many network experts to overcome this problem. According to the survey from IANA (Internet Assign Number Authority), IPv4 addresses only provided for around 4 billion addresses only and estimated to reach exhaustion at the year of 2012. As the consumption of IPv4 addresses seems to be increase every day, it is ideal for users to migrate into IPv6 environment.

Basically, there are several mechanisms for the translation (AlJa'afreh et al, 2009). They are dual stack and IPv6 tunneling. IPv6 tunneling enables IPv6 host and routers to connect with other IPv6 host and router over IPv4 packets. The main purpose to deploy IPv6 is to maintain the compatibility between IPv4 hosts and router by encapsulating IPv6 datagram into IPv4 packet and de-capsulation back from Ipv4 packet into IPv6 datagram. On the other hand, Dual stack is a network that compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6 network. This mechanism allows the operating system or application to choose which protocol used for each communication.

1.2 Problem Statement(s)

From the past decade, IPv4 is most widely used Internet Protocol. P V 4 has 32 bits and can allocate 4294967296 addresses space. As the consumption of IPv4 gradually increases, it will encounter exhaustion in nearly future. According to RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) and IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), the pool of IPv4 address will run out between 2010 and 2012. The figure 3.2.1 illustrated the address space allocation for IUR pool and IANA pool. Base on the figure, the exhaustion of unallocated address for RIR pool and IANA pool is predicted on year 201 1 and 2012 respectively. Hence, after year 2012, there is no more unallocated IPV4 addresses available from the RIR and IANA. As a result, migration into IPv6 is required to overcome this problem.

1.3 Objective

The objectives of the project are listed as the following:

To investigate the use of IPv6 tunneling and dual stack mechanism.

To implement and analyze dual stack and IPv6 tunneling mechanisms with different performance metrics in Window's platform.

To evaluate the performance of dual stack and IPv6 tunneling using FTP and streaming services.
