IPv6 has attracted significant attention from researchers, educational institutions, software vendors and end users. IPv6 is moving from pilot phase to practical application, and will eventually replace the existing IPv4. In the process of deploying IPv6, IPv6 network performance is one of the key issues to be considered. Test is an important method to understand IPv6 network performance. However, only a few works are found to evaluate the performance of IPv6 network. And IPv6 network performance test softwares are less available universally. So through the introduction of agent technology, an IPv6 network performance test model is put forward, which integrates distributed structure with centralized control. The architecture, agent design and realization mechanism of the model are analyzed thoroughly, based on which IPv6 network performance test software was designed and implemented. Using the software, the performance specifications of an experimental IPv6 network were tested and compared with IPv4. Experimental results show that the proposed model has good scalability and is suitable for IPv6 network performance test.
