Abstract: IPv6 is the next generation internet protocol which is gradually replacing the IPv4. IPv6 offers larger address space, simpler header format, efficient routing, better QoS and built-in security mechanisms. The migration from IPv4 to IPv6 cannot be attained in a short span of time. The main issue is compatibility and interoperability between the two protocols. Therefore, both the protocols are likely to coexist for a long time. Usually, tunneling protocols are deployed over hybrid IPv4-IPv6 networks to offer end-to-end IPv6 connectivity. Many routing protocols are used for IPv4 and IPv6. In this paper, researchers analyzed the optimized routing information exchange of two routing protocols (OSPFv3 & EIGRPv6) in hybrid IPv4-IPv6 network. Experimental results show that OSPFv3 performs better than EIGRPv6 in terms of most of the parameters i.e. convergence time, RTT, response time, tunnel overhead, protocol traffic statistics, CPU and memory utilization.
