Abstract

The IPv4 address space has almost exhausted with global Internet address space, which urges the community to transit into IPv6 address space. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is unavoidable to the community; however, this transition has not happen as anticipated. It is unavoidable to have both IPv4 and IPv6 networks during the transition period, but unfortunately they are not compatible in nature. So it is essential to maintain the IPv4 and IPv6 abilities and the inter-communication ability of IPv4 and IPv6 has to be provided. Many transition techniques are proposed in the recent years, but they obsolete by IETF due to their flaws and their technical immatureness [7]. This paper considers key difficulties in IPv4-IPv6 transition, and introduced the new transition algorithm namely weight based transition algorithm, which used the advantages of weight and tunneling translation techniques for providing inter-communication ability of IPv4 and IPv6. The proposed algorithm has simulated and the performance is discussed with the existing algorithms.
