A dual stack IPv4/IPv6 testbed for malware detection in IPv6 networks

The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses on November 2011 has made the future of the internet in the IPv6 and raised new challenges in the network security research. This paper proposed a dual stack ipv4/ipv6 network testbed for dealing with the designation and implementation of an intelligent approach for malware detection in IPv6 networks. All the equipments, tools and network are configured based on real implementation of a dual stack ip4/ipv6 network. With fully functional operation for handling basic transition between IPv6 clients over IPv4 networks, the dual stack IPV4/IPv6 testbed is suitable for investigating the malware detection in real ipv6 networks. The experimental results from the testing phase show the efficiency and the functionality of the dual stack IPv4/IPv6 testbed.
