Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-API"
RFC 3338, “Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-API"”, is an Experimental document published in October 2002 by S. Lee, M-K. Shin, Y-J. Kim, E. Nordmark, A. Durand. It has been obsoleted by RFC 6535 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a mechanism of dual stack hosts using a technique called 'Bump-in-the-API'(BIA) which allows for the hosts to communicate with other IPv6 hosts using existing IPv4 applications. The goal of this mechanism is the same as that of the Bump-in-the-stack mechanism [BIS], but this mechanism provides the translation method between the IPv4 APIs and IPv6 APIs. Thus, the goal is simply achieved without IP header translation.
What “Experimental” means
