Abstract
IPv6 is built into the latest versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux-based operating systems. It´s expected to replace the current IPv4 and solve its numerous problems, such as address exhaustion, security, and mobility. However, implementing IPv6 will have drawbacks, such as lower bandwidth, so it´s important to determine which modern operating systems will give the best bandwidth performance over IPv6 networks.
