The Advanced Research and Education Network (TWAREN) was established by the National Centre for High‐Performance Computing. It provides advanced research and education in Taiwan. TWAREN supports the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. This paper analyses network efficiency under the IPv6 structures. The TWAREN test will focus on the traffic issue for all fixed‐size packets. The purpose of this test is to determine packet loss under the maximum packet transfer situation. We measure the network throughput under the maximum speed and the latency associated with each packet. Using that information, we in turn derive the needed data on IPv6 TCP/UDP bandwidth and packet loss under the TWAREN structure. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
