IPv6 tunnel over IPv4 IV. HYBRID IPV4-IPV6 NETWORK IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible with each other. ISPs must provide services in both IPv4/IPv6 network because users can be mixed. Some users are only in IPv4 network, some are in dual-stack and in future, there would be only IPv6 network users [28]. The primary reason for the transition is that the user may need to access data that will only be available in IPv6. There are multiple modes of transition:  Dual-Stack

The rapid proliferation of the Internet has exhausted Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses offered by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA). The new version of the IP i.e. IPv6 was launched by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) with new features, such as a simpler packet header, larger address space, new anycast addressing type, integrated security, efficient segment routing, and better Quality of Services (QoS). Virtualized network architectures such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) have been introduced. These new paradigms have entirely changed the way of internetworking and provide a lot of benefits in multiple domains of applications that have used SDN and NFV. ISPs are trying to move from existing IPv4 physical networks to virtualized next-generation IPv6 networks gradually. The transition from physical IPv4 to software-based IPv6 is very slow due to the usage of IPv4 addresses by billions of devices around the globe. IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are different in format and behavior. Therefore, direct communication between IPv4 and IPv6 is not possible. Both protocols will co-exist for a long time during the transition despite the incompatibility issues. The core issues between IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are compatibility, interoperability, and security. The transition creates many challenges for ISPs during shifting the network toward a software-based IPv6 network. Packet traversing, routing scalability, guarantee of performance, and security are the main challenges faced by ISPs. In this research, we focused on a qualitative and comprehensive survey. We summarize the challenges during the transition process, recommended appropriate solutions, and an in-depth analysis of their mitigations during moving toward the next-generation virtual IPv6 network.

A collection of interconnected devices that deal with communication protocols that are common to share resources provided by nodes of a network over digital interconnections is a computer network. The process of determining the most efficient route from a source to a given target is called routing. Cisco's Enriched Internal Routing Gateway Protocol for IPv6 and the IETF's OSPFv3 (First Version 3 of Open Shortest Path) are two of the most frequently studied IPv6 routing protocols among researchers (EIGRPv6). As a result of the popularity of EIGRPv6 and OSPFv3, it is necessary to undertake a thorough contrast of the two protocols once working inside a minor enterprise network on IPv6. Thus, the study analysed the performance comparison of OSPFV3 and EIGRP with IPv6 networks with regards to convergence time, end-to-end delay, and packet loss. Packet Tracer 6.2.2 was used to compare the performance of routing protocols of different kinds. In the simulation, Cisco routers, switches, and generic computers were employed in the test. In these topologies, standard IPv6 addresses have been used. The findings of the study revealed that EIGRPv6 outperforms OSPFv3. As a result, we advocate using EIGRPv6 as an internal routing protocol in a network of IPv6.

The rapid growth of the Internet and a number of changes in the technology landscape have resulted to move traditional IPv4 networks to virtualized IPv6 networks. Reliable and fast delivery of network services with minimum hardware and lower cost are the main challenges for network operators in the modern technological era. Network operators are moving towards the virtual IPv6 networks. As IP protocol does not guarantee packet delivery, therefore, for reliable delivery of services like FTP, HTTP, and SMTP, the IP protocol is associated with TCP on the transport layer while audio/video live streaming, and real-time applications use UDP. QoS of video streaming and real-time applications are depended upon better network resources management and planning while QoE is dependent on network performance. Different sizes of the packet affect overall QoS. Optimum services can be achieved through the proper selection of routing protocol in the network. In this study, the performance of the IPv6 virtual machine connected to the large scale virtual IPv6 network through the cloud is measured and compared on the basis of the packet sizes of TCP and UDP. GNS3 network emulator and VMware have been used for testing and analyzing the performance of the IPv6 virtual network in terms of several parameters such as convergence, RTT, throughput, jitter, and packet loss. Results indicate that the EIGRPv6 routing protocol with the collaboration of BGPv4 delivers better performance through virtual network services over the cloud network.

Computer technology is growing quickly. Now a day it is the time of internet. Data communication and networking have changed the way we do business and the personal communication. Communication can easily isolate the world through the way of communication. When we communicate, we are sharing information. A routing mechanism needs to add the entire computer system with a higher degree of facility for a network. Routing is the most important part for giving a performance to the network. Network administrators need to performance evaluation based on different criteria for each type of routing protocols. Interior gateway protocols are EIGRP, OSPF, RIP and IS-IS. This paper focuses on the performance of these prominent routers. We chose only three protocols for IPv6 network. These are EIGRPv6, OSPFv3 and RIPng. These protocols are used in IPv6 network in terms of data transfer rate and converge time. These calculate in specific source to destination at simulation environment of cisco. We use ping command in command promote to verify the network connection. It also shows the real time comparison in different perspective. We get the result to use the simulation software cisco packet tracer.
... When a router receives a routing update, it checks all known paths and modifies its own routing table if need be. EIGRPv6 uses the DUAL algorithm (Diffusion Update Algorithm) to calculate the best paths [35]. ...

Currently, the exponential growth of the Internet and the limitations of IPv4 (the current version of the Internet Protocol) in terms of lack of IP addresses, mobility and security make the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 more and more a necessity. There are even some operators who finished off their IPv4 addresses store and migrated to IPv6. In addition, IPv6 routing protocols have to adapt to facilitate this transition and the deployment of IPv6 as well. Moreover, the selection of the best routing protocol among the available ones is a critical task, which depends on one hand on the network requirements and its deployment and on the other hand on some performance parameters of different applications in real-time. Routing is a process necessary to select the optimal path in order to allow a number of peripherals to communicate with each other even in different networks. That can be done dynamically by using routing protocols, which rely on different algorithms. In this article, we will present a comparative study of dynamic IPv6 routing protocols, namely RIPng (Routing Information Protocol next generation), EIGRPv6 (IPv6 Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3), IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System), and BGP4+ (IPv6 Border Gateway Protocol version 4). We classified these protocols into two categories and compared them. We described the involved protocols for each case, their operating principles, their routing algorithms, their deployment limits, and the possible configurations as well. This study is not only intended to compare these categories to each other, but also to present and describe for each of them the involved protocols, their operating principles, their deployment limits in order to enlighten and help customers who want to use or deploy the IPv6 to choose the suitable IPv6 routing protocol according to their needs.
... Consequently, the study mentioned that RIP is suitable for small networks (because of its limited use to 15 hops); the reverse of OSPF, which is intended for large network and EIGRP is a robust protocol but functional only on a Cisco material.

As results, they found that OSPFv3 gave better performance than EIGRPv6 regarding most of the simulation parameters. ...

IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms allow sites/hosts to communicate using similar or different formal stacks. Routing protocols constitute an important part of this interconnection. Most of the research work related to the two axes deals with the problems related to the good configurations of the routing protocols and the optimization of their convergence delay. In this paper, we will study the impact of the interior dynamic routing protocols (RIPv2/RIPng, OSPFv2/OSPFv3, and IS-IS) on the performance of three IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms (dual-stack, manual tunnel, and 6to4 automatic tunnel) by using a real-time application of video confer-encing. The study was conducted on the OPNET Modeler network simulator using a number of measurement parameters including delay, delay variation, and packet loss. The results of the simulation showed that the performance of IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms varies in the same way but with different values and according to the types of the tested routing protocols.
... In contrast, we are measuring the performance of OSPF in large scale network.

They examined that the recital of OSPFv3 is superior than EIGRPv6 in most of the parameters. ...

The fast growth of the Internet has resulted in IPv4 addresses depletion. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are trying to replace their IPv4 networks with IPv6 gradually. IPv6 was launched with new features like simpler header format, larger address space, efficient routing and built-in security. IPv4-IPv6 transition process has been slow therefore both versions of IP are expected to co-exist for some time. As IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible to each other, therefore packet traversing and routing has to face challenges. Tunneling is a temporary solution which is used to resolve packet traversing. This research presents the behavioral analysis of Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3) through several IPv6 tunneling protocols (6in4, 6to4, ISATAP & GRE) over large scale IPv4 network. The performance of OSPFv3 is measured through route summarization over hybrid IPv4-IPv6 network on the basis of numerous parameters like convergence & re-convergence time, round trip time, response time, tunnel overhead and protocol traffic statistics.
