Abstract:
Modern field of edge computing is playing vital role in the development of services
of cloud and distributed computing. Therefore, fast and reliable access is necessary for such
systems, services and tools. The current study aims to implement Internet Protocol version6
(IPv6) network. It is observed that during upgrading or transforming a network from Internet
Protocol version4 (IPv4) to IPv6, the proposed network becomes hybrid due to deployment of
IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Further, this research supports and enhances the network
compatibility between IPv4 to IPv6. Dual Stack and Tunneling mechanisms are also discussed
in this study. Though, Dual stack is one of the most successful mechanism, which works in
both networks either it is IPV4 or IPV6 and defines a compatible platform and mechanism to
run them in a single mode. It is observed that Tunneling is a reliable and protected mechanism
in comparison with different transition methods. Although, it is not appropriate for home
users but suitable for Data centres. Moreover, the pools of IPv6 addresses are successfully
being deployed at five departments in Campus Area Network (CAN). The author has also
discussed a design and specification model, which includes the mechanism of transformation
of IPv4 to IPv6 and IPv6 addressing schemes. This paper proposed Dual Stacking Transition
Mechanism (DSTM) and 6 to4 Tunneling transition mechanisms for transform of IPv4 to
IPv6 transition.
