“…As we can observe, native IPv4 has the higher throughput, followed by native IPv6. Similarly to other studies [6][26], our research confirmed that native IPv4 has a better performance than native IPv6 in controlled testbeds. This is due to the length of the IP headers (20 bytes for IPv4, and 40 bytes for IPv6).…”

Abstract-The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has forced the deployment of the new version of the Internet Protocol (IPv6). However, the migration to the new protocol is done gradually and with the due care for many reasons that include: cost, inclusion of support for IPv6 in existing applications, training of technical staff, lack of web content available over IPv6 from important providers, and obsolete devices not anymore supported by manufacturers. For those reasons, many transition mechanisms have been proposed, each one to fill distinct requirements, with different operational theory and availability according to the network environment. A performance evaluation of these mechanisms can help network administrators and researchers in their selection of the best transition technology for their environment. In this paper, we present a performance comparison of some transition mechanisms such as ISATAP, 6to4, and NAT64 in real testbeds with Debian, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. For NAT64, two different tools were tested: TAYGA and Jool. We measure the OWD and the throughput for UDP and TCP for every mechanism, for both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet technologies. From this research, we can conclude that all the modern operating systems for PCs already have good support for IPv6, and a very similar network performance. Also, we can infer from our work that in controlled environments, native IPv4 has the best performance, closely followed by native IPv6. The difference is essentially due to the length of the IP header (20 bytes in IPv4 and 40 bytes in IPv6). The tunneling solutions chosen for this research (ISATAP and 6to4) have a similar performance, which is the lowest of the studied technologies, because of the additional IPv4 header in the tunnel.

“…Zeadally and Raicu [5] compared the performance of IPv6 in Windows 2000 and Solaris 8. An upper bound model to compute TCP and UDP throughput for IPv4 and IPv6, in a full-duplex point-to-point connection, was presented by Gamess and Surós [6]. They compared the performance of various operating systems with this upper bound.…”

This paper reports research undertaken to develop a user-friendly home energy monitoring system which is capable of collecting, processing and displaying detailed usage data. The system allows users to monitor power usage and switch their electronic appliances remotely, using any web enabled device, including computers, phones and tablets. The system aims to raise awareness of consumer energy use by gathering data about usage habits, and displaying this information to support consumers when selecting energy tariffs or new appliances.To achieve these aims, bespoke electrical hardware, or 'nodes', have been designed and built to monitor power usage, switch devices on and off, and communicate via a Wi-Fi connection, with bespoke software, the 'server'. The server hosts a webpage which allows users to see a real-time overview of how power is being used in the home as well as allowing scheduled tasks and triggered tasks (which respond to events) to be programmed. The system takes advantage of well standardised networking specifications, such as Wi-Fi and TCP, allowing access from within the home, or remotely through the internet. The server runs under Debian Linux on a Raspberry Pi computer and is written in Python, HTML and JavaScript. The server includes advanced functionality, such as device recognition which allows users to individually monitor several devices that share a single node. The openPicus Flyport is used to provide Wi-Fi connectivity and programmable logic control to nodes. The Flyport is programmed with code compiled from C. 1 IntroductionThe management of electrical energy supply to meet the growing demand without contributing more to the green-house gas problem is a major task. At consumer level various forms of smart meters have been introduced by electricity suppliers to inform customers of their energy usage profiles and these have enabled the suppliers to obtain useful demand profiles. However some smart meters do not provide a breakdown of which appliances contribute to the overall demand profile. This has been a problem and smart meters are already termed to be 'not so smart meters ' [24]. There is great interest in developing useful, secure, low-cost technologies to monitor and record domestic energy usage and allow users to have more control over their energy usage.Perhaps in the future such systems may even be able to automatically switch energy provider on their owners behalf, depending on which companies offer the cheapest, greenest energy. The technology could also be used to deliver targeted advertising to users supported by savings estimates based on the real usage data that the system collects.None of the existing 'smart meter' solutions offered by energy suppliers to private homes in the UK are able to control devices around the home. Input into the National Grid in the UK is almost entirely comprised of plants which are unable to quickly change their rate of supply, (for example, gas, coal, nuclear) or worse, have an unreliable rate of supply e.g.wind. Since mass produced el...

Abstract-IPv6 is the response to the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It was defined almost twenty years ago by the IETF as a replacement of IPv4, and little by little, it is becoming more preponderant as the Internet protocol. The growth of Internet has led to the development of high performance networks. On one hand, Ethernet has evolved significantly and today it is common to find 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks in LANs. On the other hand, another approach for high performance networking is based on RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) which offers innovative features such as kernel bypass, zero copy, offload of splitting and assembly of messages in packets to the CAs (Channel Adapters), etc. InfiniBand is currently the most popular technology that implements RDMA. It uses verbs instead of sockets and a big effort of the community is required to port TCP/IP software to InfiniBand, to take advantage of its benefits. Meanwhile, IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand) is a protocol that has been proposed and permits the execution of socket-based applications on top of InfiniBand, without any change, at the expense of performance. In this paper, we make a performance evaluation of IPv6 and IPv4 over 10 Gigabit Ethernet and IPoIB. Our results show that 10 Gigabit Ethernet has a better throughput than IPoIB, especially for small and medium payload sizes. However, as the payload size increases, the advantage of 10 Gigabit Ethernet is reduced in comparison to IPoIB/FDR. With respect to latency, IPoIB did much better than 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Finally, our research also indicates that in a controlled environment, IPv4 has a better performance than IPv6.
