IPv6 Network Monitoring Tool

IPv6 is a new version of the internetworking protocol designed to address the scalability
and service shortcomings of the current standard, IPv4.Unfortunately, IPv4 and IPv6 are
not directly compatible, so programs and systems designed to one standard can not
communicate with those designed to the other. Consequently, it is necessary to develop
smooth transition mechanisms that enable applications to continue working while the
network is being upgraded. In this paper the author presents the design and
implementation of a network monitoring tool for the latest Internet Protocol; IPv6
which is designed for Microsoft Windows platform. The development of network has
increased the need to monitor the nodes that is operating across the same network. The
network monitoring tool aims to capture and analyze IP related packets (IPv6 packets)
before executing report on the results found.
