A systematic review of performance analysis and implementation of OSPFv3 in IPv6 network

IPv6 also known as next generation protocol has abundant address space and various advance features to meet varying demands of present and future networks. Once migrated to IPv6, OSPFv3 an IPv6 based Routing Protocol will be first choice among various users to replace its predecessor IPv4 based OSPv2 Routing Protocol. Since IPv6 based Routing Protocols are not tested much as compared to IPv4 based Routing Protocols, thus systematic literature review is conducted related to performance analysis and implementation of OSPFv3. The review included various research papers from 2011 to 2015 as a primary study. With the use of various search techniques, 80 research papers were downloaded and studied in brief, out of which 18 were identified as relevant papers. This paper presents various research papers related to implementation of IPv6 and performance analysis of various parameters of OSPFv3 Routing Protocol. It will also help the researchers to further analyze and improve various parameters of OSPFv3 Routing Protocol.
