It is essential to measure IPv6 performance in current hardware and virtual routers to assess readiness for IPv6 adoption. IPv4 serves as a good baseline for comparison due to its maturity both in hardware and virtual devices. Due to IPv4 scarcity, migration to IPv6 has become an essential topic for conversation and research. In this paper performance of IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding is evaluated, and results such as throughput, latency, and packet loss rate are reported. © 2023 IEEE.
