Tiivistelmä
Most of the Internet Service Providers, and web companies are enabling IPv6 permanently for their customers and services. Since World IPv6 launch began on 6 June 2012, global IPv6 traffic has grown by 500%. If this trend continues, in less than four years, half of the Internet users will connect with IPv6.
The main purpose of the thesis is to discuss the progress of IPv6 over the depletion of IPv4 along with features including its advantages and disadvantages. It aims to discover the best solution for a transition method and factors affecting IPv6 implementation, which is solely based on the data collected from different sources. Transition techniques are presented in this thesis elaborated with configuration and challenges. The thesis concludes that using an option like dual stack is a good possible solution since the NAT (Network Address Translation) transition appears less user friendly and has been discouraged by network operators with elapse of time.
