464XLAT: Combination of Stateful and Stateless Translation

Overview

RFC 6877, “464XLAT: Combination of Stateful and Stateless Translation”, is an Informational document published in April 2013 by M. Mawatari, M. Kawashima, C. Byrne. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes an architecture (464XLAT) for providing limited IPv4 connectivity across an IPv6-only network by combining existing and well-known stateful protocol translation (as described in RFC 6146) in the core and stateless protocol translation (as described in RFC 6145) at the edge. 464XLAT is a simple and scalable technique to quickly deploy limited IPv4 access service to IPv6-only edge networks without encapsulation.
