Application Aspects of IPv6 Transition
RFC 4038, “Application Aspects of IPv6 Transition”, is an Informational document published in March 2005 by M-K. Shin, Y-G. Hong, J. Hagino, P. Savola, E. M. Castro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
As IPv6 networks are deployed and the network transition is discussed, one should also consider how to enable IPv6 support in applications running on IPv6 hosts, and the best strategy to develop IP protocol support in applications. This document specifies scenarios and aspects of application transition. It also proposes guidelines on how to develop IP version-independent applications during the transition period. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
