Abstract

An Internet protocol version 6, IPv6 is a powerful enhancement of the internet protocol IPv4 and will succeed the IPv4. The IPv6 will replace IPv4 sooner or later to take advantage of functional improvements like large address space, simplified header, mobility and security. The internet operates by transferring data between hosts in packets that are routed across networks as specified by the routing protocols. These packets require an addressing scheme such as IPv4 or IPv6, to specify their source and destination address. The growth of Internet has provided a need for more addresses than are possible with IPv4. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and roaming between IPv4 and IPv6 access networks is increasing, owing to ever growing research in these fields. The mobile IPv4 has been designed for mobility management in pure IPv4 access networks as well as the mobile IPv6 for pure IPv6 access networks. In this paper the transition mechanism used by IPv6 network traffic for transiting to IPv4 network is shown. Also roaming and co-existence issues between IPv6 and IPv4 have been presented. The transition mechanism used between the two Internet Protocols is tunnels. In this paper tunnels are used to make IPv4 and IPv6 to co-exist on the same network.
