Description
Summary:IPv6 is a new version of the internetworking protocol designed to address the scalability and service shortcomings of the current standard, IPv4.Unfortunately, IPv4 and IPv6 are not directly compatible, so programs and systems designed to one standard can not communicate with those designed to the other. Consequently, it is necessary to develop smooth transition mechanisms that enable applications to continue working while the network is being upgraded. In this paper the author presents the design and implementation of a network monitoring tool for the latest Internet Protocol; IPv6 which is designed for Microsoft Windows platform. The development of network has increased the need to monitor the nodes that is operating across the same network. The network monitoring tool aims to capture and analyze IP related packets (IPv6 packets) before executing report on the results found.
