Abstract
Due to the ever increasing number of devices connected to the Internet, several methods, protocols and strategies have been developed to accommodate the increasing traffic. One of these methods is the supposed transition between Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) thereby extending the addressing capabilities of the protocols. In this study, the two addressing schemes are compared. Simulation results showed that IPv6 has better performance with respect to selected protocols such as Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol and Jitter in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls. Both IPv4 and IPv6 had a mean object score of 3.2, a metric for measuring the quality of VoIP calls.
