Perancangan dan Implementasi IPv6 dengan Metode Dual Stack pada Jaringan Kampus Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang

The growth of connectivity needs in the academic environment demands a reliable transition solution from IPv4 to IPv6, given the limited address space of IPv4. This research aims to implement the dual stack method as a transition mechanism that allows IPv4 and IPv6 to run simultaneously in the University of Muhammadiyah Malang network. Simulations were conducted using GNS3 with Mikrotik devices as routers and Debian as clients, based on a topology that represents the actual network structure of the campus. Three configuration scenarios were tested: dual stack, IPv4 only, and IPv6 only. Evaluation was done on the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters of throughput, delay, and packet loss, using iperf3 as a data loading tool, and Wireshark to analyze the traffic data generated from the process according to TIPHON standards. The results show that all configurations have excellent throughput and packet loss values, while the delay in the dual stack configuration shows variations due to dynamic protocol path selection. The dual stack implementation is proven to be effective without causing interprotocol conflicts and provides high flexibility in supporting network transitions. This research concludes that dual stack is an efficient, stable, and relevant IPv6 transition solution to be implemented in educational environments, especially on campus network infrastructure.
