Implementing of IPv6 Protocol Environment at University of Kuala Lumpur: Measurement of IPv6 and IPv4 Performance

IPv6 provides a platform for new Internet functionality. It includes support for real-time flows, provider selection, and host mobility, end-to-end security, auto-configuration, and auto-reconfiguration. It solves the Internet scaling problem, provides a flexible transition mechanism for the current Internet, and was designed to meet the needs of new markets such as nomadic personal computing devices, networked entertainment, and device control. The significance of this study is to describe on development of a video conferencing system with multimedia capabilities (Video + Audio) over IPv6 environment at University of Kuala Lumpur (campus environment). The beneficial and apparent of this research is to introduce a new service of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) at the campus environment. The concept of multicasting is be explored as this was used in the development of the video conferencing (Video + Audio). By comparing IPv6 and IPv4 video conferencing performance, we focus on problems that are only present in the IPv6 environments.
