Abstract :
This paper describes the migration from the current Internet Protocol (IPv4) to the next generation of Internet Protocol (IPv6) and to adapt the new technologies which probably grows into our networks. We explain the need of implementations of IPv6 when one already is in existence and as well as focus on the awareness of different transition mechanism that makes the IPv4 and IPv6 to work simultaneous on the network. This provides an educational knowledge by showing the comparison of the current Internet protocol with the next generation internet protocol to learn into its technical depth with the addresses, the protocols and the processes.
