Analysis of Stateful 64 Translation
RFC 6889, “Analysis of Stateful 64 Translation”, is an Informational document published in April 2013 by R. Penno, T. Saxena, M. Boucadair, S. Sivakumar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Due to specific problems, Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) was deprecated by the IETF as a mechanism to perform IPv6-IPv4 translation. Since then, new efforts have been undertaken within IETF to standardize alternative mechanisms to perform IPv6-IPv4 translation. This document analyzes to what extent the new stateful translation mechanisms avoid the problems that caused the IETF to deprecate NAT-PT.
