The Influence of Packet Manipulation on the IPv6 Firewall Effectivity

Abstract

The new version of IP protocol is slowly being adopted in computer networks. The transfer to IPv6 world will take some time and the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols need to coexist together. The aim of this study is pro present results from IPv6 packet manipulation efficiency analysis. This study discusses the measurements of various Linux/Unix IPv6 firewalls and their behaviour in specialized networking test which are based on RFC standard. Results were taken by scapy-advanced IP packet manipulator.
