Abstract :
IPv4 has reached the end of its addressable
space, necessitating the deployment and execution of IPv6
protocols. Although IPv6 significantly increases
addressable space in comparison to IPv4, IPv4 has not
been completely phased out due to the difficulty and cost
of phasing out the protocol. As such, IPv4 and IPv6 must
coexist. As a result, there is a need for research into
transition mechanisms that enable standards to
communicate with one another. This research examined
many research publications, studied transition
technologies and their performance in test circumstances,
compared technologies using measurement metrics, and
made inferences about the selection of transition
technologies. Additionally, it discusses several transition
mechanisms, their advantages and disadvantages as
measured by various metrics, and how these mechanisms
might be adjusted.
