Folks,
I've just submitted my first draft of "6 over NAT" to the
Internet-Drafts folks, using the name draft-moore-6overNAT-00.txt.
Especially since it proposes a somewhat odd use of Neighbor Discovery
I would appreciate it if it were reviewed by members of this group
(whether formally by the group or informally by individuals)
folks who don't want to wait until it comes out via normal channels
may download it from
http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/draft-moore-6overNAT-00.txt
thanks!
Keith
Running IPv6 over a (potentially-NATted) IPv4 Network
Abstract
This document describes a protocol (dubbed "6overNAT") for deploying
IP version 6 over a network which supports IP version 4 but cannot
(yet) natively support IP version 6. The target network may be
separated from the public Internet by one or more network address
translators (NATs), and the target network may itself contain NATs.
This protocol is intended to allow IPv6-capable hosts on the private
network to be assigned globally unique and routable IPv6 addresses,
and to allow those hosts to exchange traffic with IPv6 hosts on the
public IPv6 Internet (or given suitable connections, on other private
IPv6 networks), without intervening translation of IPv6 addresses.
It is intended that this protocol should allow almost any IPv4-capable
enterprise network to begin using IPv6 over that network for a small
marginal cost and with little effort.
