A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Dual Stack Transition Mechanism (DSTM)
Author(s) : J. Bound et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-dstm-05.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 21-Nov-01
The initial deployment of IPv6 will require a tightly coupled use of
IPv4 addresses to support the interoperation of IPv6 and IPv4, within
an IPv6 Network. Nodes will still need to communicate with IPv4
nodes that do not have a dual IP layer supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
The Dual Stack Transition Mechanism (DSTM) provides a method to
assign temporary IPv4 Addresses to IPv6/IPv4 nodes over a native IPv6
Network. DSTM uses dynamic tunnels within an IPv6 Network to carry
IPv4 traffic and a defined set of processes and architecture for the
supporting infrastructure required for this transition mechanism.

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.
