The paper titled "IPv6 delay and loss performance evolution" written by Zhou et al. in the International Journal of Communication Systems proposes to analyze the performances of IPv6 paths compared to IPv4 paths between the same nodes.

The dataset is the RIPE database between the October 1st, 2003 and October 31th 2005. The principle is simple: process the RIPE database for the TTM boxes running both IPv4 and IPv6 and compare the performances in term of delay and loss ratio for the two protocols.
