Abstract: The aim of this study is to highlights accurate baseline performance test result that can be evaluated before the simulation process takes place. This test is important and useful for researcher to understand further detail about component or configuration which can influence the actual network performance thus leads to more detail simulation process and accurate simulation result. This study benchmarks both native Internet Protocol Address version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Address version 6 (IPv6) by using a baseline testbed set-up. The result shows that maximum and average throughput will increase when the test file sizes increased for both IPv4 and IPv6 configurations. Datagram loss is higher during IPv6 test. Further study of this area will be carried out because there is a need for improvement and clarification between actual and theoretical IPv6 network performance.
