Dual-Stack Lite Broadband Deployments Following IPv4 Exhaustion
RFC 6333, “Dual-Stack Lite Broadband Deployments Following IPv4 Exhaustion”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2011 by A. Durand, R. Droms, J. Woodyatt, Y. Lee. It has since been updated by RFC 7335. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document revisits the dual-stack model and introduces the Dual- Stack Lite technology aimed at better aligning the costs and benefits of deploying IPv6 in service provider networks. Dual-Stack Lite enables a broadband service provider to share IPv4 addresses among customers by combining two well-known technologies: IP in IP (IPv4- in-IPv6) and Network Address Translation (NAT). [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.
