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 : Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT] Author(s) : G. Tsirtsis, P. Srisuresh Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-natpt-04.txt Pages : 15 Date : 13-Jan-99

This document specifies a transition mechanism in addition to those already specified in [TRANS]. The new mechanism provides an end-to-end solution to allow IPv6-only hosts to communicate with IPv4-only hosts and vice versa using Network Address Translation and Protocol Translation. The scheme described does not require du- al-stack hosts; nor does it mandate any routing related changes on the hosts. The scheme is based on a combination of address transla- tion theme as described in [NAT-TERM] and V6/V4 protocol transla- tion theme as described in [SIIT].

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ngtrans-natpt-04.txt".

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.
