Abstracts: Every device on the Internet must be assigned an IP address in order to communicate with other devices. With the ever-increasing number of new devices being connected to the Internet, the need arose for more addresses than IPv4 is able to accommodate. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest revision of the. Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing 2128, or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses, or more than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses. IPv4 allows only approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPv6. This project deals with study of various migration strategies to IPv6 and then implemention of IPv6 network with the help of a network simulator and in the Regional Telecom Training Centre(RTTC), Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited(BSNL) lab.
