International Journal of Computer and Electrical Engineering, Vol. 3, No. 2, April, 2011 1793-8163 Modeling IPv4 and IPv6 Performance in Ethernet Networks Eric Gamess and Neudith Morales addresses while IPv4 has 32-bit addresses. IPv6 also adds Abstract—IPv4 address space will run out in the next two many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as quality of years. Therefore, it is necessary to deploy the new version of the service, routing, and network auto-configuration. Internet Protocol (IPv6) which dramatically expands the For IPv6 to gain acceptance, it is important that the address space. One important issue for IPv6 to gain acceptance, network performance of user applications does not suffer a is its end-to-end performance. For this reason, it is important to noticeable degradation. Some works have been proposed to offer the Internet community some tools to compare IPv4 and IPv6 performance. In this paper, we present some models to compare the IPv4 and IPv6 performance (see Section II) and evaluate the performance of IPv4 and IPv6. Our models can be most of them concluded that the performance of IPv4 is a used for any variant of Ethernet technologies (10 Mbps, 100 little better than the one shown by IPv6, but the difference is Mbps, or 1000 Mbps). We start by presenting a model for the not significant. The majority of these works are based
