EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF IPV4 AND IPV6 PROTOCOLS IN END USER ENVIRONMENT IN CROATIA

IPv6 is a protocol which is in implementation phase for many years now. Implementation progress varies from country to country, but in majority countries it still doesn’t surpass IPv4. Croatia is not an exception. This paper gives an analysis and comparison of IPv4 and IPv6 protocol performance in end user environment in Croatia. Testing is conducted with a series of ping tests on IPv4 and IPv6 enabled top 50 visited sites in Croatia as well as traceroute tests for both protocols. Tests targeted web sites with enabled IPv4 and IPv6 (dual stack)
