Title : Dual Stack Hosts using 'Bump-in-the-API' (BIA)
Author(s) : S. Lee ET AL.
Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-bia-01.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 21-Nov-01
This document specifies a mechanism of dual stack hosts using a
technique called 'Bump-in-the-API'(BIA) which allows for the hosts to
communicate with other IPv6 hosts using existing IPv4 applications. The
goal of this mechanism is the same as that of the Bump-in-the-stack
mechanism [BIS], but this mechanism provides the translation method
between the IPv4 APIs and IPv6 APIs. Thus, the goal is simply achieved
without IP header translation.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
