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.
