This thesis analyzes the adventages and disadventages of IPv6, the new version of the Internet Protocol, if it is used for multimedia applications. The problems of the current version of the Internet Protocol IPv4 which resulted in the development of IPv6 are described. The differences between IPv4 and IPv6 and the new facilities offered by IPv6 are explained. Furthermore, the possible ways of migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 are introduced. The necessary changes in the code of the libraries and applications to implement an environment for the analysis of IPv6 are shown. The integration of the environment in the worldwide IPv6 testbed 6bone is described. Finally, measurements are shown and discussed, which were carried out to allow comparisons of the performance of IPv4 and IPv6 with different applications. It is explained why IPv6 sould be used not only for multimedia applications.
