Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers
RFC 4213, “Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2005 by E. Nordmark, R. Gilligan. It obsoletes RFC 2893. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers. Two mechanisms are specified, dual stack and configured tunneling. Dual stack implies providing complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and configured tunneling provides a means to carry IPv6 packets over unmodified IPv4 routing infrastructures.
This document obsoletes RFC 2893. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
