Abstract
Packet transmission by means of address resolution has been the main backbone of Internet communication through transmission of packets among computer networks. Packet transmission was either implemented in both IPv4 and IPv6 with the focus gradually moving to IPv6 because IPv6 has more address spaces of 128bits and supports billions of IP addresses as compared to IPv4. Packet transmission functions through the mapping of various addresses among computer on the networks before packets are transmitted to final destination. And this is where address resolution comes into play. IPv6 packets are resolved in two different ways namely, Direct Mapping and Dynamic Binding which is most commonly used. However, the thesis will focus its attention on Direct Mapping approach with new methodology known direct dynamic neighbor which is a combination of Dynamic Binding and Direct Mapping methods to send packets in the same network. With the new approach, packet transmission will be enhanced significantly as packet can be sent directly to destination. The thesis will also briefly compare the methodologies of each approach in order to ascertain the efficiency of each technique. Other areas to be compared are packet transmission for each technique, the number of steps of each method takes to deliver packet from source to final destination.
