Performance Effects of Fragmentation in IPv4 and IPv6 Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) attempted to resolve some of the outstanding issues surrounding IP packet fragmentation. However, even under the new standard situations may still arise where packet fragmentation results in seriously degraded performance. Using Opnet 9, we analyze a specific instance of this problem where misconfiguration or poor programming in higher network layers compromise the performance of IP. We recommend practices for network application developers to avoid these problems.

Packet Fragmentation in IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnels
Nowadays IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels are widely used to form the global IPv6 Internet. This paper analyzes a packet fragmentation problem in IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels due to the MTU difference between IPv6 and IPv4 layers, which would greatly degrade the performance of the tunnels if ever happened. It also demonstrates an ICMP based attack that could induce the problem and gives some advice on how to d...
متن کاملPeak Performance of TCP and UDP in IPv4 and IPv6 over Ethernet Networks
IPv4 addresses have been depleted in February 2011, when the IANA allocated the remaining last five /8s IPv4 address blocks to the RIRs. IPv6 has been developed by the IETF as a solution to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. In this paper, we present some models to evaluate the performance of IPv4 and IPv6 in Ethernet networks, the most widely-installed local area network technology. Our models ...
متن کاملIPv4/IPv6 Transition Mechanisms
Currently, the Internet consists of native IPv4 (IPv4-only), native IPv6, and IPv4/IPv6 dual networks. Unfortunately, IPv4 and IPv6 are incompatible protocols. When both IP versions are available and the users of Internet want to connect without any restrictions, a transition mechanism is required. During the time of migration from IPv4 to IPv6 networks, a number of transition mechanisms have b...
متن کاملAn IPv4/IPv6 Traversal Scheme with Seamless Mobility Support over Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
This paper proposes a new IPv4/IPv6 traversal scheme based on a scalable network-based IP mobility management system, called Access Independent Mobile Service (AIMS), which can provide MNs with high-quality mobility services over various wireless access networks. The proposed AIMS with IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stack Support (AIMS-DS) scheme can support an MN moving continuously across the IPv4/IPv6 coexi...
متن کاملRFC 7600 Stateless IPv
This document specifies a stateless solution for service providers to progressively deploy IPv6-only network domains while still offering IPv4 service to customers. The solution’s distinctive properties are that TCP/UDP IPv4 packets are valid TCP/UDP IPv6 packets during domain traversal and that IPv4 fragmentation rules are fully preserved end to end. Each customer can be assigned one public IP...
