6. DISCUSSION
As can be seen from table1. that on an average 734.00
Kbytes/sec throughput can be achieved in Kbytes under IPv4 as
compared to 1220.00 Kbytes/sec in IPv6 in ubuntu virtual
machine environment for TCP. Similarly the average throughput
is 0.85 Mbytes/sec under IPv4 as compared to 0.96 Mbytes/sec
in IPv6 in ubuntu virtual machine environment for TCP. In
GBits the bandwidth utilization and throughput for IPv4 and
IPv6 achieved is the same i.e. 0.01 GBits/sec. Most of the
throughput for IPv6 address configuration is higher as compared
with IPv4 address throughput. The throughput also seems to
increase in IPv6 with the size of data packets sent.
