IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation
RFC 6296, “IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation”, is an Experimental document published in June 2011 by M. Wasserman, F. Baker. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a stateless, transport-agnostic IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) function that provides the address-independence benefit associated with IPv4-to-IPv4 NAT (NAPT44) and provides a 1:1 relationship between addresses in the "inside" and "outside" prefixes, preserving end-to-end reachability at the network layer. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
