The transition from IPv4 network to IPv6 network is being processed vigorously. Extensive research is being done presently on this subject as transition from IPv4 to IPv6 requires a high level compatibility and clear procedure for easy and independent deployment of IPv6. The challenge ahead now is to push IPv6 deployment into the universities and end sites in the academic networks. The aim of this research is to develop IPv6 network model of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and simulate it behavior. We begin with translating the current IPv4 configuration into simulation environment. Then we implement IPv6 using dual stack transition mechanism on it. We also conduct the functionality test and performance evaluation on constructed model. The result shows that both IPv4 and IPv6 functionalities successfully work as expected and there were no negative impacts on our dual stack IP network behavior. It is also shows that the average delays of IPv6 are more stable compared to IPv4.
