Performance evaluation of IPv6 test-bed network at UKM

摘要

Since, IPv6 is the new version of Internet Protocol (IP), there are still many researches required to be undertaken in this area. So, it is necessary to take part and make this protocol more efficient and capable for a better deal with the future Internet demand. The problem behind this research is lack of IPv6 network for the research committee at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). This research comes on solving the problem by implementing IPv6 test-bed network at UKM. The way that this research has been implemented is considered as some major phases including; preparation, implementation, testing, and result analysis. This research contributes to facilitate IPv6 test-bed network for the research community in UKM. Moreover, it will become a platform for innumerable experiments on IPv6 link characterization and other basic applications of the IPv6 network. The result obtained from this research proves that the IPv6 test-bed network is implemented properly and able to support the teaching and research requirements of the research committee in the future.
