Additional Deployment Guidelines for NAT64/464XLAT in Operator and Enterprise Networks
RFC 8683, “Additional Deployment Guidelines for NAT64/464XLAT in Operator and Enterprise Networks”, is an Informational document published in November 2019 by J. Palet Martinez. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how Network Address and Protocol Translation from IPv6 Clients to IPv4 Servers (NAT64) (including 464XLAT) can be deployed in an IPv6 network -- whether it's cellular ISP, broadband ISP, or enterprise -- and the possible optimizations. This document also discusses issues to be considered when having IPv6-only connectivity, such as: a) DNS64, b) applications or devices that use literal IPv4 addresses or non-IPv6-compliant APIs, and c) IPv4-only hosts or applications.
