Real time applications are gaining popularity due to the availability of high-speed Internet facilities, and thereby it is being deployed massively on IPv6 platform. Video streaming is one of the most popular sectors among the real time applications arena. Quality of service (QoS) requirement must be satisfied for the proper enjoyment of video streaming services. Proper network resource management and planning are must for providing optimum services which can be achieved by the selection of proper routing protocol. For this reason, in this paper, the IPv6 network scenario is considered for three different popular routing protocols which are RIPng, OSPFv3 and EIGRP. The simulation is done by using OPNET simulator. Packet loss, end to end delay, delay variation, jitter and MOS value are simulated as our metrics to evaluate the performance of the IPv6. The simulation results show that the RIPng outperforms EIGRP, OSPFv3 and hybrid protocol (RIPng_OSPFv3).
