Traversal Using Relays around NAT Extension for IPv6
RFC 6156, “Traversal Using Relays around NAT Extension for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2011 by G. Camarillo, O. Novo, S. Perreault. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8656 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document adds IPv6 support to Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN). IPv6 support in TURN includes IPv4-to-IPv6, IPv6-to-IPv6, and IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying. This document defines the REQUESTED- ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute for TURN. The REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute allows a client to explicitly request the address type the TURN server will allocate (e.g., an IPv4-only node may request the TURN server to allocate an IPv6 address). [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.
