A Test-Bed for Network Performance Evaluation Of IPv4 and IPv6 in Network Layer Protocol

This paper represents in a test-bed performed to measure and evaluates the performance of IPv4 and IPv6 network. The installation and running the test-bed was done for IPv4 and IPv6, using three metrics, bandwidth, packet loss and jitter. The result is that, the bandwidth size will lead to loss some packets during the streaming, while jitter leads to non-sequential packet arrival to the destination. The overall results indicate that the IPv4 network performs better than IPv6 network in term of bandwidth and packet loss. The IPv6 network performs better than IPv4 network in term of jitter. The IPv6 occur high bandwidth compare to IPv4. So the IPv6 network needs component that provide a high performance in network
