Comparison of end-system IPv6 protocol stacks - Communications, IEE Proceedings-
نویسنده
چکیده
The Internet Protocol version 6 (also known as IPv6) has been developed to replace the current IPv4 protocol. Various operating systems running at end-systems now support IPv6 protocol stacks and network infrastructures (hosts, routers) are currently being deployed to support IPv6 features. IPv6 stacks on end-systems constitute an important component in the migration and adoption of IPv6. To investigate the impact of IPv6 on user applications, an empirical evaluation was conducted on the performance of IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks on the Linux operating system for TCP and UDP protocols. The IPv6 performance obtained on Linux was compared with the performance of IPv6 of other commodity operating systems, namely Solaris 8 and Windows 2000. The experimental results demonstrate that the IPv6 protocol stack for Linux outperforms IPv6 stacks of these operating systems.

Migration of IPv6 - Security Issues
Deployment of a next generation of Internet protocols is on its way and this process that possibly will take a few years to complete. In the intervening time, the deployment raise considerable new more issues, being security is one of the most undeniable. This paper reviews some of the improvements associated with the new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), with an emphasis on its security rela...
متن کاملIPv6 operation for WAVE - Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments
The IEEE WAVE protocol suite is providing communications services to applications in vehicular networks, by way of promising support for two protocol stacks: the Wave Short Message Protocol (WSMP) and IPv6. While WSMP is developed within the IEEE 1609 family of standards, the authors of this memorandum assert, that considerations for IPv6 operation for WAVE are less developed, and several issue...
متن کاملIntroduction to Distributed Protocol Stacks for Wireless Sensor Networks
In this paper, a model is proposed, in which neighbouring nodes share layers of their communications stack with each other in a cooperative fashion to enable the use of IPv6 on each node without the need to include the stack’s full programming logic on each node, while still preserving transparent IP interconnectivity by forming a Distributed Protocol Stack (DPS). We give an overview on the con...
متن کاملSurvey of Internet Protocol Version 6 Link Local Communication Security Vulnerability and Mitigation Methods
IPv6 is a network layer protocol of the OSI reference model. IPv6 uses the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) that works on link local scope of IPv6 network. NDP covers host initialization and address auto configuration that is one of IPv6 advantages and other important functionalities. IPv6 mandates to support Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) for end‐to‐end communication security. However, th...
متن کاملAn Introduction to the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP)
Mobility, multi-homing, local addressing and end-to-end security at the network layer remain challenging even with the advent of IPv6. We propose a new network protocol, which can be built upon IPv6 incrementally, that breaks the address into two separate entities, a Locator and an Identifier, with crisp semantics for each, that seeks to solve these issues through an improved naming and address...
