Dual-Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host"
RFC 6535, “Dual-Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host"”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2012 by B. Huang, H. Deng, T. Savolainen. It obsoletes RFC 2767, RFC 3338. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Bump-in-the-Host (BIH) is a host-based IPv4 to IPv6 protocol translation mechanism that allows a class of IPv4-only applications that work through NATs to communicate with IPv6-only peers. The host on which applications are running may be connected to IPv6-only or dual-stack access networks. BIH hides IPv6 and makes the IPv4-only applications think they are talking with IPv4 peers by local synthesis of IPv4 addresses. This document obsoletes RFC 2767 and RFC 3338. [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.
