Stateless IP/ICMP Translation for IPv6 Internet Data Center Environments : Dual Translation Mode
RFC 7756, “Stateless IP/ICMP Translation for IPv6 Internet Data Center Environments : Dual Translation Mode”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2016 by T. Anderson, S. Steffann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes an extension of the Stateless IP/ICMP Translation for IPv6 Internet Data Center Environments (SIIT-DC) architecture, which allows applications, protocols, or nodes that are incompatible with IPv6 and/or Network Address Translation to operate correctly with SIIT-DC. This is accomplished by introducing a new component called an SIIT-DC Edge Relay, which reverses the translations made by an SIIT-DC Border Relay. The application and/or node is thus provided with seemingly native IPv4 connectivity that provides end-to-end address transparency.
The reader is expected to be familiar with the SIIT-DC architecture described in RFC 7755.
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.
