Design Science Approach and Guidelines
design science approach. Seven guidelines of design science method are followed strictly for better end results. Open-ended interviews will be data collection methods of the study. Documents, such as articles, books, and websites also provide lots of information. Content analysis helps the authors to look directly into context of documents to find the core meaning. The content of this study was examined on two scales: technical side and managerial side. Findings upon data collected reveal several significant factors, which affect IPv6 addresses implementation project.
Hence, a solution, the most applicable transition method was concluded. This method was then tested on a virtual environment simulating a large network model. It was proven to be working.

On 8 June 2011, over 1000 top websites in the world took part in an event called “World IPv6 Day”. As IPv4 addresses are running out, the need for changing to IP next generation, IPv6, is obvious. This study aims at finding the best method of transition from IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses for large enterprise networks.
Since the birth of Internet in 1960s [5], it has completely changed the way of communications forever. With its capabilities, the Internet has already become a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers regardless of geographic location [20]. However, despite the uncountable Internet's phenomenal impact on business and its reach across all sectors, there is still no model which valuing companies' Internet efforts correctly [1]. Besides, according to its nature in the structure of Internet, the TCP/IP has also played an important role in the global expansion of communications. As a result, the more users join the
