Abstract: Currently, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses have been depleted. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs), researchers and end users are migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 due to strong features of IPv6 and limitation in IPv4. Different tunneling techniques have been deployed to migrate on IPv6 for ordinary users. However, these techniques create many issues such as compatibility, complexity, connectivity and traffic. Due to the dissimilar header structure and incompatibility of IPv4 and IPv6, the devices are unable to communicate with each other because devices do not support IPv6 addresses directly. The performance of network is also compromised due to huge increment in data transmission traffic. In this paper, we proposed a technique to provide full IPv6 connectivity and enhancing the network performances by combining two tunneling techniques such as IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD) and Teredo. To increase the throughput of the network, jumbo frames are used to carry huge amount of data. The main objective of using both techniques is to provide a hybrid network rendering for full IPv6 connectivity. The proposed technique provides not only the IPv6 but also provides better performance in the network. Simulation results show that throughput and packet delivery ratio achieve maximum gain by 9000 bytes and 98%, respectively.
