Abstract

In the 1970’s the Internet Protocol (IP) was designed after much decision on it. Thirty years after its deployment and usage, the resulting design (i.e., IPv4) has been more than sufficient even though certain techniques had to be implemented to further reduce the rapid depletion of the IPv4 address space due to the exponential growth of the internet. However, the techniques implemented to further reduce the rapid depletion of IPv4 were only just temporary and have serious limitations. It should no longer be news that the transition from IPv4 to the new internet protocol (IPv6) will have to happen now. The transition techniques to achieve this transition process and the benefits that will accrue from having such an addressing scheme are the ultimate objective of this work. The paper clearly iterated that for successful transition to take place, organizations must first begin to run IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel. The vulnerable impacts of the transition and the appropriate solutions were explained.
