Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol
RFC 4214, “Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol”, is an Experimental document published in October 2005 by F. Templin, T. Gleeson, M. Talwar, D. Thaler. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5214 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) connects IPv6 hosts/routers over IPv4 networks. ISATAP views the IPv4 network as a link layer for IPv6 and views other nodes on the network as potential IPv6 hosts/routers. ISATAP supports an automatic tunneling abstraction similar to the Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) model. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
