概要

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the most fundamental technology of the Internet. Current version of the protocol, called IPv4, is designed 20 years or more ago, and has various technical issues. Next generation of IP, IPv6, has been designed and implemented to resolve the issues. Flow label implemented in IPv6 header is used to distinguish queues for real time communication in order to reduce the overhead of routing processes. We investigate how much superiority an IPv6 network attains over an IPv4 network with respect to reducing the routing overhead. Experiments carried out in this study do not indicate the superiority of IPv6 over IPv4. Increased IP header size in IPv6 might set off the advantage of the use of flow label. The use of flow label, however, is indispensable in IPv6 environment because IP packets can be encrypted or some option header may be added to the IP header.
