A Monte Carlo study of the late time growth of $L1_2$ ordered domains on a fcc $A_3B$ binary alloy is presented. The energy of the alloy has been modeled by a nearest neighbor interaction Ising hamiltonian. The system exhibits a fourfold degenerated ground-state and two kinds of interfaces separating ordered domains: flat and curved antiphase boundaries. Two different dynamics are used in the simulations: the standard atom-atom exchange mechanism and the more realistic vacancy-atom exchange mechanism. The results obtained by both methods are compared. In particular we study the time evolution of the excess energy, the structure factor and the mean distance between walls. In the case of atom-atom exchange mechanism anisotropic growth has been found: two characteristic lengths are needed in order to describe the evolution. Contrarily, with the vacancy-atom exchange mechanism scaling with a single length holds. Results are contrasted with existing experiments in $Cu_3Au$ and theories for anisotropic growth.
