In order to understand IPv6 topology characteristics and dynamic behaviors deeply, and guide the design of IPv6 Internet structure, an Internet IP level topology evolution model (IP-TEM) based on power-law distribution was established. Selected the data of IPv6 IP-level topology from CAIDA Internet Global Research Institute in the year from 2012 to 2016 to analyze the evolution characteristics of IPv6 during the probing period, and then introduced to the characteristic outlier weight to locate the mutation time point to analyze the network topology mutation evolution, it is concluded that the evolution trend of other characteristics and the mutation points of each characteristic outlier weight are basically the same except for the average clustering coefficient. Then simulated the normal evolution and mutation evolution of the network respectively using IP-TEM, the simulation results show that IP-TEM can simulate the normal evolution and partial mutation evolution of the real network.
