Managing and resolving problems in an IPv6 network requires at least a review of the backend tools used so far, if not brand new tools. Because even the mere length of an IPv6 address is often a problem for some databases that were not designed for such addresses. Many IT administrators who did a conversion without a previous backend check report that Analyzer and other monitoring tools were often not IPv6 compliant. With my ip this is a very important deal now.
Hardware upgrades against performance degradation
Headers now take up more space despite less complexity. At 40 bytes they are twice as large as in IPv4 applications. For applications that rely on small packet sizes, this will have a noticeable impact. For example, SIP uses small packets averaging 1,000 bytes in size. Enlarging the header will increase the packet size by about 2 per cent, which in extreme cases can be noticeable.
Performance is a common problem in the IPv6 network infrastructure. Although most systems allow IPv6 migration, this does not mean that the performance of the systems will not deteriorate if they change from IPv4 to IPv6. The adaptation of the firmware is in this context a first
