IPv6 transition mechanisms performance evaluation

Transition from IPv4 to IPv6 has not realized as expected, but because of the ever growing demands of internet and depletion of IPv4 address space the transition must be occur. This thesis was aimed at understanding how the transition mechanisms (Automatic Tunneling) will effect to network performance. Tunneling mechanisms will compared in terms of performance with IPv4 and IPv6 in virtual environment by using simulation programs. Parameters such as throughput, jitter and packet loss were evaluated in a lab environment using Jperf
