Performance Evaluation of Different Routing Protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 Networks on the basis of Packet Sizes

摘要

IPv6 is the next generation internet protocol which will eventually replace IPv4, but till then both the protocols need to coexist for a long time. The main issue is of compatibility; both the protocols are not compatible with each other A different set of routing protocols is required for IPv4 and IPv6. These protocols have different performances for different scenarios Routing is a very challenging task especially in case of wireless networks. In this paper the performance is evaluated for different routing protocols like RIP, RIPng, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 for IPv4 and IPv6 networks over Mobile Adhoc Networks Simulations are carried out on Exata Cyber 1 1 Simulator The performance of networks is measured on the basis of following parameters: throughput, end-to-end delay, jitter and packet delivery ratio with varying packet sizes of 256, 512, 1024 and 2058 bytes.
