ABSTRACT Tremendous amount of growth in IP networks in the past few years has fuelled the demand for constant optimization of these networks for performance efficiency. Routing protocols play an important role in optimized performance of IP networks. OSPF and IS-IS are link-state routing protocols which route information within a network using Dijkstra’s algorithm for computation of best routes. The growth in Internet has also resulted in the exhaustion of IPv4 address and IPv6 addresses are currently being deployed worldwide. Routing protocols supporting the IPv4 platform haven been modified to support the IPv6 addressing. This paper compares the link-state routing protocols OSPFv3 and IS-IS in IPv6 environment for parameters like network and router convergence, network and router activity and throughput using OPNET Modeler. Keywords: OSPF, OSPFv3, IS-IS, IPv4, IPv6, Convergence and Throughput
