Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the most popular addressing protocol used in Internet Technology since many year but with the advancement of the technology and development of Network friendly devices, these IPv4 protocol are not able to suffice the predicted long-term demand for network addresses. IPv4 uses 32 bit addressing system and can make 4.3 billion addresses only. The evolution of the Internet has effectively exhausted all unique addresses offered by the current IPv4 protocol. The solution of this problem is to new IPv6 protocol which provides 4 times more network address as compare to IPv4. IPv6 is 128 bit addressing system and offers 2128 or 3.4 X 1038 addresses .This research paper presents a case study about the migration from IPv4 to IPv6 of a Campus Network.

As per Govt. of India guidelines and BITCOE recommendation, CWPRS phase wise took the action to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6 and successfully replaced/upgraded all the Network devices for IPv6 readiness and now made ready all the Network Infrastructure Device IPv6 compliance. Presently, CWPRS Network is configured using IPv4 protocol and once the BSNL (Internet Leased Line, Router) and NIC (CWPRS Website Hosting) make the provision/configuration for IPv6 for CWPRS Network, CWPRS will configure all the devices using IPv6 protocol.
