Abstract — IPv4 addresses are already depleted in Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and have exhausted in Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) while more clients are continuously adding into the Internet. IPv6, as the only available next generation Internet protocol, is still not commercially successful accepted because a scheme that could solve the migration of IPv4 resources to IPv6 network, as well as mutual communication between the two incompatible protocols, has not been fully developed and deployed. Translation solution provides a proper approach to address this problem. In this review paper, we reviewed research papers presented by the researchers between 2007 and 2015 related to IPv4 & IPv6 resource migration and protocol transition schemes and observed issues related network security, addressing and error detection in the implementation of IPv6
