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 : Assignment of IPv4 Global Addresses to IPv6 Hosts (AIIH) Author(s) : J. Bound Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-assgn-ipv4-addrs-01.txt Pages : 18 Date : 12-Jan-99

The initial deployment of IPv6 will require a tightly coupled use of IPv4 addresses to support the interoperation of IPv6 and IPv4. Nodes will be able to be deployed with IPv6 addresses, but will still need to communicate with IPv4 nodes that do not have a dual IP layer supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. This specification defines a mechanism called Assignment of IPv4 Global Addresses to IPv6 Hosts (AIIH), which will assign an IPv6 Host a temporary IPv4 Global Address, which can be used to communicate with a Host that supports IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6. An objective of this specification is to avoid the use of address translation for the deployment of IPv6 in a network. Another objective is to demonstrate that IPv6 Addresses can be deployed now instead of non-Global IPv4 Addresses within an Intranet.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ngtrans-assgn-ipv4-addrs-01.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.
