ipv6

by Timjan1 Sep 17, 2016 2:00AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I have a question about ipv6. I wanne do a research for school about ipv6. And more specific the securitylevel. I wanne compare ipv6 agaist ipv4. In that research I wanne collect the good and the bad things about ipv4 and ipv6. I also wanne simulate networkattacks on both protocols. I choose this subject to prove that ipv6 is safer then ipv4. But I have read alot about ipv6 and I have seen that ipv6 issent realy safer then ipv4. And that we are not ready yet for it. Maybe I am wrong and hopely I am wrong. So maybe can anybody help me with this? maybe anybody knows how I can simulate networkattacks on ipv6 with software and how to prevent those attacks? and how is ipv6 safer then ipv4?

Many thanks
Tim

The sheer bulk of the answer means it can't fit here but if you are doing research the good news is that with google and google scholar you can find a lot of content to read and decide what can and can't be used.
