Effects of IPV4/IPv6 Transition Methods in IoT (Internet of Things):A survey

Abstract

Today there are two types of internet protocol versions that are currently working in the global internet to transfer data from one electronic device to another. IPv4 which consists of 32 bits long addresses and IPv6 which consists of 128 bits long addresses which is more effective as it can handled billions of devices and can assign each device different IP address. This paper is a brief research on finding and comparing the effects of IPv6 transition methods in IoT (Internet of Things). Different transition methods such as Dual Stack, Tunneling, Network Address Translation-Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) will be compared to find the best performing transition method.
