9. CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 OBJECTIVE:
Intro IPv6 was developed in the mid-J1990 by the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). It was primarily engineered to remove the fundamental address
space limitation of IPv4. IPv6 uses 128bits for IP addresses versus 32 bits in IPv4,
thus providing a practically unlimited address space that enables any device to
have a unique IP addresses. Thus the need for network address translation (NAT)
as a means to cope with limited address space is eliminated, although today
NATing also is viewed as a component of network security and is not expected to
go away any soon.
IPv6 and IPv4 are two completely separate protocols. IPv6 is not backwards
compatible with IPv4, and IPv4 hosts and routers will not be able to deal directly
with IPv6 traffic (and vice versa).Unfortunately, it is a fact of life both that
 There will be extreme difficulties with address allocation and routing
if the Internet is to continue be run indefinitely using IPv4.
 It is impossible to switch the entire Internet over to IPv6 overnight.
Therefore for a long period of time we are going to be dealing with a network in
which the two protocols will be operating side by side. A common estimate of the
length of time involved is 10 years ö in terms of the history of the Internet, a very
long time indeed, but probably a realistic figure in terms of the amount of installed
IPv4 software and infrastructure, all of which will need to be replaced or upgraded.
In the world of internet, few regions defined by IANA running with no IP
Address available in version 4 and slowly they are migrating on IPv6. In this
project, we are addressing the scalability between IPv4 and IPv6. Since we are

10. Using different routed and routing protocols to deal with IP packets to insure best
delivery towards destination. By default, establishing the communication through
IPv4 and IPv6 is not possible. Virtual tunnel using Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) is way to deal with this problem domain.
Fig: 1.1 IPv4 and IPv6 Header Format
The transition to IPv6 will likely be a long process and may never attain complete
penetration before the protocol becomes obsolete. Some experts predict that in 20
years most Internet users will be using IPv6, but that pockets of IPv4 will still exist
as parts of legacy systems. Some firms may not find it cost-effective to convert
large segments of their existing systems. Hardware and software interoperability is,
therefore, a key requirement for interconnecting networks across heterogeneous
environments and thus will be a major consideration in an enterprise’s decision to
adopt IPv6.

11. The developers of IPv6 recognize the prospect of a lengthy transition period from
IPv4 to the new protocol and have attempted to accommodate that fact. They have
created several mechanisms (e.g., dual-stack, tunnelling, and translation) to enable
networks using either or both versions of IP to communicate with each other.
Those mechanisms are intended to eliminate deployment dependencies between
and among vendors and networks and thereby to allow enterprises to decide when
to adopt IPv6, if at all, based upon their own needs and goals, without regard to the
decisions of other enterprises. Interoperability will likely not be completely
seamless in practice. Firms will have to address a number of issues in order to
minimize interoperability problems during the transition from IPv4 to IPv6.
1.2 PROBLEM DEFINATION:
Since we already knows that establishing communication to foreword IP
Packet is not possible between or through IPv6 and IPv4. Virtualization of tunnel
interface of the Router (Layer 3 Device) can be logically connected to physical
interface directing to carry the multicast packet of IPv6 through IPv4 physical link.
Tunneling provides a mechanism to transport packets of one protocol within
another protocol. The protocol that is carried is called as the passenger protocol,
and the protocol that is used for carrying the passenger protocol is called as the
transport protocol. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is one of the available
tunneling mechanisms which uses IP as the transport protocol and can be used for
carrying many different passenger protocols. The tunnels behave as virtual point-
to-point links that have two endpoints identified by the tunnel source and tunnel
destination addresses at each endpoint. Dual IP stacks have been proposed to solve
the first problem, and tunneling to solve the latter.
Fig: 1.2 GRE Packet Flow

12. 1.3 PROBLEM SOLUTION:
Generally, GRE provides a way to encapsulate arbitrary packets
(payload packet) inside of a transport protocol, and transmit them from one tunnel
endpoint to another. The payload is encapsulated in a GRE packet. The resulting
GRE packet is then encapsulated in a delivery protocol, and then forwarded to the
tunnel destination. At the tunnel destination, the packet is de-encapsulated to reveal
the payload. The payload is then forwarded to its final destination.
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels supports following:
(a) IPv4 over GRE tunnels. IPv6 over GRE tunnels is not supported.
(b) Static and dynamic unicast routing over GRE tunnels.
(c) Multicast routing over GRE tunnels.
(d) Hardware forwarding of IP data traffic across a GRE tunnel.
IPv6-capable devices allow the tunneling of packets of the following protocols
over an IPv4 network using GRE: -
(a) OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) V2
(b) BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) V4
(c) RIPv 1 & 2
1.3.1 Tunneling:
Tunneling is a mechanism to allow IPv6 domains that are connected via
IPv4 networks to communicate with each other, or to allow isolated IPv6 hosts that
are not directly connected to an IPv6 router but only to IPv4 machines to reach the
wider IPv6 network. Naturally, to use tunneling a host must have a dual IP stack in
order to send and receive IPv4 data grams. In most cases, however, this won't
apply to large numbers of machines - just some routers and isolated IPv6 machines
on IPv4 networks.

13. Fig 1.3.1: GRE Tunnel
1.3.2 Dual Stack Approach (IPv4 & IPv6 together):
The dual-stack implementation is a common transitional mechanism where
all devices (workstations, servers, routers, etc.) support both versions – IPv4 and
IPv6. The applications and the network can communicate using either version. This
transitional mechanism is relatively easy to implement. Both protocols co-exist and
hence, there is no problem supporting older and newer applications that use IPv4
and IPv6respectively. The disadvantage of this approach is that the devices have to
support both versions and they need extra processing power (memory, CPU etc.) to
handle both protocols.
1.3.3 Translation Approach:
Translation lets you convert packets from one protocol to another. The
advantage of this approach is that it allows for communication between devices
supporting any version. However the disadvantage is that the translator has to read
every packet header and this requires extra processing power. Configuration of the
translator is tedious. The translator also becomes a single point of failure.

14. 1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:
In this project, we are addressing the scalability of IPv4 and IPv6 where we
are using most widely used routing protocol used OSPF (Open Shortest Path
First).Since IPv6 packet cannot move through physical network assigned with
IPv4, virtualization of physical link is being used through CISCO IOS. Issue with
multicast packets of OSPF could be address by using GRE (Generic Routing
Encapsulation) which function on IP Protocol 47.
Today, while dealing with routing protocols, which are running on the
Distance Vector or Link State Algorithm, calculating the best path to destination
based on the metrics they use .All widely implemented routing protocols are using
multicast addresses to form the adjacencies and defining them in real time world is
still challenge. In advanced communication age, the compiling of all applications
for Data communication/Voice/Mobile communication, IP Core structure playing
main roll. To design IP core network and implementation of routing protocol
with appropriate security policy, enable the industry to face any technological
hurdles it terms of advanced communication relevant to internet uses.

15. CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
The IPv6 protocol was created with the main purpose of solving the
problem of the depletion of IP addresses that IPv4 is currently facing. This thesis
gives an introduction to the differences betweenIPv4 and IPv6 and when one
should use one protocol rather than the other. It describes the services that we will
use in order to evaluate what kinds of problems IPv4 may experience and if these
problems can be solved by using IPv6. We also show how to set up a network with
both protocols for each service that we examine. We will subsequently evaluate the
performance of these two protocols for each of these services. We found that there
were no significant differences in the performance of any of the applications that
we tested with both IPv4 and IPv6. Due to the depletion of IPv4 addresses and the
continuing rapid growth of the Internet, this thesis describes a very current and a
relevant issue for computer networks today.

17. 2.2 PRESENT WORKING SYSYTEM:
2.2.1. Drawback of the present working system
With IPv4 address space getting exhausted, meet this IP address
challenge of creating more address space with IPv6. With most content, many
hosts and most applications accessed only via IPv4, migration to IPv6 can be a
challenge. What organizations need is a smart IPv4 to IPv6 migration plan and
tools to help provide an orderly transition. There are several challenges associated
with a transition to IPv6, some of these are:
 Ensuring minimal Production environment downtime should
 Ensuring the network has the same reach ability and isolation characteristics as
before, i.e., communication patterns are preserved
 Ensuring the previous levels of security are maintained
 Ensuring optimum, uninterrupted network and application performance
 Ensuring IPv4 and IPv6 co-exist
2.2.2 Additional Features
The Solutions provides the flexibility organizations need to devise IPv4 to
IPv6 migration plans with minimal disruption and downtime. We help with early
planning and implementation for IPv6 migration, supporting r both protocols
during the transition period. The new features and concepts of IPv6 and differences
from IPv4 to improve Internet communications include:
 Larger Address Space – 128 bit address in IPv6 as compared to 32 bit IPv4
address
 Auto-configuration – Plug n Play possible with IPv6
 Link-local addressing – Possible with IPv6
 Mobility – Mobile IPv6 for mobile networks / terminals
 Security – IPSec is mandatory that mitigates the risk of spoofing and loss of
confidential data
 Simple Header – IPv6 header is simple with many fields removed

18.  Support more addressable devices - like server, desktop, laptop, mobile device,
appliance, automobile and other devices without risking running out of
addresses.

23. CHAPTER 5
IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 IPv6 to IPv4
The motivation for 6to4 is to allow isolated small domains or single hosts on a
LAN or WAN with no native IPv6 support to communicate with the minimum
manual configuration. IPv6 domains build their own IPv6 prefix based on the IPv4
address of the border router. The prefix is '2002:' followed by the 32 bit IPv4
address of the border router. Therefore any IPv6/IPv4 router trying to tunnel
encapsulated IPv6 packets to a domain that starts with the "2002:" prefix can
immediately determine the address of the IPv4 router to tunnel the packets to. To
get access to the wider IPv6 network, you then need an IPv6/IPv4 router to den
capsulate your tunneled IPv6 packets and forward them to the backbone, and
likewise encapsulate any IPv6 packets destined for your domain and tunnel them
over IPv4 to the border router.
So the three pieces of information you need to use this are:
 Your outside-visible IP address (this might be a gateway or similar)
from which you derive your IPv6 48 bit prefix (and then somehow
choose the rest of your address)
 The address of a 6to4 gateway to use, to connect to the rest of the IPv6
world
5.2 Tunnel Approach (IPv6 to IPv4):
Tunneling uses encapsulation to carry IPv6 traffic in IPv4 packets and
vice versa. This allows for a partial transition where portions of the network can
migrate to IPv6 while the rest of the network remains in its original state.The
advantage of tunnels is that you can reuse the existing infrastructure in situations

24. Where old devices do not have enough processing power to support both protocols
or you are not ready or financially able to upgrade. The disadvantage of tunneling
is that it involves tedious configuration. Tunnel endpoints need extra processing
power to handle encapsulation and de-encapsulation. Tunnels can create routing
inefficiencies if they are not configured to match the underlying routing topology.
Tunnels also introduce security issues, as packets that were previously visible are
now encapsulated. Troubleshooting within the tunnel is difficult due to the lack of
visibility into the end-to-end traffic paths.

CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK
The migration of an existing IPv4 infrastructure to IPv6 will be one of the most
demanding challenges facing IT organizations in the years to come. This is not because of the
inherent complexities of the migration, but due to the universal reach of IP and dependency
of today’s enterprises on the operation of the network. The transition to IPv6 will require
planning and likely some degree of support for both protocols during the transition period. As
noted by those responsible for managing Internet addresses, it is only a matter of time before
IPv4 is no longer viable. Early planning will help ensure the transition is smooth with
minimum impact on business operations.
