Testbed for the Comparative Analysis of DS-Lite and Lightweight 4over6 IPv6 Transition Technologies
Omar D’yab, Gábor Lencse · 2022
This paper aims to build a testbed for two of the most prominent IPv6 transition technologies, namely, Lightweight 4over6 and Dual Stack Lite. Four virtual machines were used to facilitate the implementation of each transition technology. Point to Point tunneling plus stateful NAT64 were used to implement Dual Stack Lite. Snabb was used to implement Lightweight 4over6 testbed. The testbed is built in preparation for the benchmarking measurements to facilitate a comparative analysis of the performance of two tunneling IP transition technologies: Dual Stack Lite as a stateful mechanism, and Lightweight 4over6 as a stateless mechanism.
