Stateless Source Address Mapping for ICMPv6 Packets
RFC 6791, “Stateless Source Address Mapping for ICMPv6 Packets”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2012 by X. Li, C. Bao, D. Wing, R. Vaithianathan, G. Huston. It updates RFC 6145. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A stateless IPv4/IPv6 translator may receive ICMPv6 packets containing non-IPv4-translatable addresses as the source. These packets should be passed across the translator as ICMP packets directed to the IPv4 destination. This document presents recommendations for source address translation in ICMPv6 headers to handle such cases. [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.
