Abstract
IPv6 is now enter the door of internet and
soon will become next Gen IP protocol.IPv6
has many added and modified featured from
IPv4.The impact of IPv6 on internet will be
far wide, which should be studied well.
Before deploying IPv6, one should know
what IPv6 is going to offer which IPv4 lack or
not at all. This Paper compare both IP
protocol on various platform to check pro and
cons .Also, paper discussed the various
Deployment Challenges for IPv6.
Keywords: IPv4, IPv6, Internet
I. Introduction
With the advancement of technology, Internet
is increasing day by day. In order to do
communication over internet IPv4 was
proposed to give a unique addressing for each
node on internet .But Limitation of IPv4
determines its fate that the internet supported
by it will be replaced by the new protocol
called IPv6.IPv6 is simply the upgraded
version of IPv4, and makes all the attempts to
overcome the drawback of the previous 4
version of Internet Protocol [2]. IPv6 protocol
which will replace IPv4 in near future is a
major boost to network technology as it has
many good qualities which IPv4 lacks. To
better understand the IPv6, it is very much
necessary to understand differences between
IPv6 and IPv4. IPv6 is yet under experimental
stage .Understanding of its improvement over
IPv4 will clear the various concept and
furnish the base for more refinement in
IPv6 .This paper takes a comparative
II. Analysis
A. Security
IPv6 security is a large and complex subject.
The amount of attention that IPv6 security has
so far received is quite low and new
considerations will certainly be uncovered.
Without adequate training and attention on the
part of network operators to the new
considerations with Ipv6 security, it will be
very difficult to ensure a smooth transition to
IPv6 [17]. The default subnet size of an IPv6
subnet is 64 bits or 2 64 as compared to most
common subnet size in IPv4 of 8 bits or 28.
This increases the scan size to check each
host on a subnet by 2 ^64 - 28. IPv4 offers
IPSec support, but it is optional. Support for
IPSec in IPv6 implementations is not an
option but a requirement. Because IPv6
mandates the inclusion of IP Security (IPSec),
it has often been stated that IPv6 is more
secure than Ipv4.
C. Mobility
Mobile
IP
is
used
to
maintain
communications while the IP address is
changing. Mobile IPv6 is much optimized and
deployable than Mobile IPv4, like direct
communication between the correspondent
node and mobile device, even though Mobile
IPv6 is still uncompleted; the issues have
been with the security of the protocol. The
mobility problem was taken into account

IPv6
Addresses are 128 bit length.
Addresses are numbers represented in
hexadecimals.
Inbuilt IPSec support.
Fragmentations done only by sender.
Packet flow identification is available within the
IPv6 header using the Flow Label field.
No checksum field in IPv6 header.
No option fields, but IPv6 Extension headers are
available.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)is replaced
with a function of Neighbour Discovery Protocol
(NDP).
IGMP is replaced with Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD) messages.
VII.
Broadcast messages are not
available. Instead a link-local scope "All
nodes multicast (FF02::1) is used for
broadcast similar functionality.
Auto-configuration of addresses is available.
