terminology proposal: NAT+PT

2007-11-14 Thread RJ Atkinson
NAT, NAPT, and NAT-PT have been used for some while now to refer to various sorts of address/port translation within an IPv4-only network. Recently, there has been some discussion of network address with IPv6::IPv4 protocol translation. Some have referred to that as NAT-PT also, which can be

NAT+PT for IPv6 Transition Operator Feedback generally

2007-11-14 Thread RJ Atkinson
Given that the IESG ignored inputs from some number of people noting that the RFC in question was actually deployed [1], it seems doubtful that it would be worthwhile for any of the operators who have deployed NAT+PT to travel to an IETF for the purpose of commenting in person.

A proposal for the TLS authorization standard from RedPhone Security, for which RPS has applied for a patent, has already been rejected for official standardization. However, RPS is now trying to circumvent the (very well-advised) standing no-patent policy by submitting is for consideration as an

As far as I'm concerned, NAT-PT is defined in RFC 2766, and describes a particular way of translating between IPv4 and IPv6. If people are using NAT-PT in a different way, that's unfortunate. But I don't consider it a major problem because NAT-PT really isn't usable anyway, for two sets of
