IPv6 Addressing of IPv4/IPv6 Translators
RFC 6052, “IPv6 Addressing of IPv4/IPv6 Translators”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2010 by C. Bao, C. Huitema, M. Bagnulo, M. Boucadair, X. Li. It updates RFC 4291. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document discusses the algorithmic translation of an IPv6 address to a corresponding IPv4 address, and vice versa, using only statically configured information. It defines a well-known prefix for use in algorithmic translations, while allowing organizations to also use network-specific prefixes when appropriate. Algorithmic translation is used in IPv4/IPv6 translators, as well as other types of proxies and gateways (e.g., for DNS) used in IPv4/IPv6 scenarios. [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.
