摘要：IPv6, the new version of the Internet Protocol IP developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), has many advantages, including addressing, auto-configuration, mobility, quality of service, and security. In addition, the network infrastructure and the majority of Internet services are currently available on IPv4, and therefore it is impossible to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6 in a single day. IPv4 and IPv6 have to coexist for a long time, and the deployment of IPv6 can only be done gradually. Several transition mechanisms were developed and can be used for this reason. This research examines and evaluates three transition mechanisms, namely the dual stack, the manual tunnel, and the 6to4 automatic tunnel on a real-time application (video conferencing) using the network simulator OPNET Modeler. Performance parameters such as delay, delay variation, and packet loss are measured for these transition mechanisms. This research showed that the dual stack transition mechanism gave better network performance than the tunneling mechanisms.
