Abstract
IPv4 addresses are already depleted in Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and have exhausted in Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) while more clients are continuously adding into the Internet. IPv6, as the only available next generation Internet protocol, is still not commercially successful accepted because a scheme that could solve the migration of IPv4 resources to IPv6 network, as well as mutual communication between the two incompatible protocols, has not been fully developed and deployed. Translation solution provides a proper approach to address this problem. In this review paper, we reviewed research papers presented by the researchers between 2007 and 2015 related to IPv4 & IPv6 resource migration and protocol transition schemes and observed issues related network security, addressing and error detection in the implementation of IPv6. INTRODUCTION Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new generation protocol of the basic internet protocol. Internet Protocol (IP) is a common language of the Internet, every device connected to the Internet must support it. The current version of IPv4 (IP version 4) has several shortcomings which are unavoidable and complicate such exhausted address space, security issues, non availability of auto-configuration and in some cases present a barrier to, the further development of the Internet. The coming IPv6 revolution should remove these barriers and provide a feature-rich environment for the future of global networking. Internet Engineers Task Force released the first RFC specifying the IPv6 were released at the end of 1995 and continuously trying to improve it. Since 1995 IPv6 has not been implemented in completely in real world due some issues like availability of alternative solutions in IPv4, non availability of compatible software, financial investment required in term of compatible equipments, software and security systems. Therefore issues involve in ipv6 implementation has to be analyzed and found the solutions for some of the issues. Further in this section IPv4 and IPv6 described briefly. IPv4 is the first version of Internet Protocol to be widely used, and accounts for most of today's Internet traffic.
