MIPv6 protocol is designed to support the mobility of the nodes and
maintain ongoing connections while changing their locations. Currently, most of
the internet infrastructures are using IPv4. MIPv6 as an extension of IPv6 is
not compatible with IPv4; in this case, the transition mechanisms were used to
tunnel MIPv6 traffic through IPv4 internet. This paper analyzes the performance
of Manual Tunneling and 6to4 Tunneling in MIPv6 Networks, which communicate
across IPv4 internet. Applications like FTP, HTTP, Database and Email using
performance parameters such as Throughput, Response Time and End-to-End Delay
were compared to find the best transition mechanism for MIPv6 Networks.
Simulations results show that Manual Tunneling performed better with 12% than
6to4 Tunneling in Email, and HTTP applications with 13, 54%, whereas 6to4
Tunneling, outperforms Manual Tunneling in a Database application, while in FTP
application, those two transition mechanisms have the same performance.
