Abstract
Malaysia is involved in the worldwide effort to migrate to IPv6 due to the gioballPv4 address
depletion and other IPv4 limitations as well as to derive IPv6 benefits. One of the required efforts is the
Malaysian government agencies' IPv6 enablement in which the government agencies will spearhead all
IPv6 migration in Malaysia. The creation of an IPv6 migration framework will assist the agencies in
identifying the components and steps of the IPv6 migration process. A study is conducted on the IPv6
migration with the objective of creating an IPv6 migration framework for the Malaysian government
agencies. Inputs were obtained from the government agencies staff in Malaysia through survey
questionnaires and interviews. The findings were combined and categorized into five categories which are IPv6 awareness, IPv6 implementation progress, challenges, requirements and IPv6 implementation
recommendations. The survey findings were combined with the initial migration framework to develop an IPv6 migration framework for the Malaysian government agencies which consists of the necessary
components of the IPv6 migration that need to be considered. Triangulation technique which is a
combination of two research methods which are questionnaires and interview has been used in this thesis
to increase credibility and validity of the result. This thesis provides the framework that can be used to
guide the government agencies in their IPv6 migration process, especially in the planning stages. The
development of the proposed migration framework is based on resources from other countries that have migrated from IPv4 to IPv6 coupled with Malaysian government agencies specific IPv6 requirements, demands and challenges. The proposed IPv6 migration framework consists of several IPv6 migration
components looking at different aspects of IPv6 migration essential for the agencies IPv6 planning.
