“…Zhou et al [16] found that IPv6 paths have a higher delay and loss than their IPv4 counterparts, mainly due to its poor performance in IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels. Nikkhah et al [17] and Dhamdhere et al [20] found that IPv6 delay is similar to IPv4 performance when the ASlevel paths are identical.…”

“…Investigating the performance of IPv6 network is the basis of guaranteeing the network with a good performance. Therefore, many studies have been performed to analyze IPv6 network performance, as well as figure out the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 [13][14][15][16][17]. However, our understanding of IPv6 network cannot catch up with the speed of its development.…”

Internet Protocol (IP) is used to identify and locate computers on the Internet. Currently, IPv4 still routes most Internet traffic. However, with the exhausting of IPv4 addresses, the transition to IPv6 is imminent, because, as the successor of IPv4, IPv6 can provide a larger available address space. Existing studies have addressed the notion that IPv6-centric next generation networks are widely deployed and applied. In order to gain a deep understanding of IPv6, this paper revisits several critical IPv6 performance metrics. Our extensive measurement shows that packet delay and loss rate of IPv6 are similar to IPv4 when the AS-level paths are roughly the same. Specifically, when the link utilization exceeds a threshold, for example, 0.83 in our study, variation of packet delay presents a similar pattern with the variation of link utilization. If packet delay of a path is large, packet-loss rate of that path is more likely to fluctuate. In addition, we conduct a first-ever analysis of packet reordering in IPv6 world. Few IPv6 probe packets are out-of-order and the reordering rate is 2.3 * 10 −6 , which is much lower than that of 0.79% in IPv4 world. Our analysis consolidates an experimental basis for operators and researchers of IPv6 networks.

“…Other studies have focused on quantifying adoption across Autonomous Systems (ASes) [15], [39], among end-users [16], and in Operating Systems (OSes) [8], [21]. Performance issues in OSes have been explored in [34], [49], while investigations aimed at end-to-end performance have compared IPv4 and IPv6 using metrics such as path delay and packet loss [47], [50]. On the modeling front, many studies have sought to formulate the IPv6 adoption question in the context of an economic framework, in an attempt to capture the many interacting factors affecting it [14], [18], [35], [42].…”

The paper documents and to some extent elucidates the progress of IPv6 across major Internet stakeholders since its introduction in the mid 90's. IPv6 offered an early solution to a well-understood and welldocumented problem IPv4 was expected to encounter. In spite of early standardization and awareness of the issue, the Internet's march to IPv6 has been anything but smooth, even if recent data point to an improvement. The paper documents this progression for several key Internet stakeholders using available measurement data, and identifies changes in the IPv6 ecosystem that may be in part responsible for how it has unfolded. The paper also develops a stylized model of IPv6 adoption across those stakeholders, and validates its qualitative predictive ability by comparing it to measurement data.

“…For IPv6-IPv4-IPv6 tunnels the difference is a 60% with no ACLs and a 630% of increased delay with ACLs. Xiaoming Zhou et al performed delay measured as well in [15]. They compare the delay and packet loss between IPv6 and IPv4 analyzing over 600 end to end pats.…”

Because of the growth of the number of devices that use the internet, the number of available IPv4 addresses has run out in most parts of the world. IPv6 was created to solve this problem but the migration progress is proceeding at a slower pace that it was expected. This is mostly due to the cost of changing the equipment to one that supports IPv6 and the cost of configuring these devices. Knowing the aspects of a router configuration that are affected by the performance of IPv6 is very important in order to improve the efficiency of IPv6 end facilitate the migration process. In this paper we perform several measures to detect which aspects of the configuration of a bottom and medium range router are affected by IPv6. Two different topologies were used and different combinations of IPv4 and IPv6 traffic are sent. In different test Access Control Lists or IPv6 Routing Extension Headers are used. CPU usage and maximum traffic rate are some evaluated parameters. The router performance is clearly affected by the IPv6 traffic is used, CPU usage increases and the maximum traffic rate decreases.
