Performance Evaluation for MIPv6 IN Pure IPv6 Networks vs. 6 TO 4 IP Mechanism Networks using OPNET

Öz

IPv6 protocol is the last protocol for IP protocol. IPv6 protocol based on 128 bits for addressing and has many features comparing with old one IP protocol (or which called IPv4 protocol) that is still using till now in many companies and based on 32 bits in addressing. Mobile IPv6 is protocol that using for mobile nodes that moves from it home place to other places and depends on IPv6.In our Study we will focus on implementing Mobile IPv6 MIPv6 in two networks, one is pure IPv6 network and another is mixed networks that consisting of IPv4 and IPv6 networks. We used in our study mechanism 6 to 4 to connect between IPv4 nodes and IPv6 nodes. In these two scenario Mobile node MN used MIPv6 between two access routers. The aim of this paper is to study IPv6 traffic inside MN and IPv4 and IPv6 internet clouds and finally throughput for WLAN using many kinds of application in this topology like FTP, Email, Terminal server applications. Optimized Engineering Tools (OPNET) 14.5 is used to verify of topology and get the results. The result of our study shows that working in pure IPv6 networks for MN and for Internet IPv6 clouds better than working in 6 to 4 networks. Although from these result, there is no different actually in IPv4 clouds when we using pure IPv6 and 6 to 4 IPv6 networks if we use it after IPv6 cloud.
