This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF. Title : Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers Author(s) : R. Gilligan, E. Nordmark Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-mech-01.txt Pages : 24 Date : 11-Aug-98 This document specifies IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers. These mechanisms include pro- viding complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Pro- tocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and tunneling IPv6 packets over IPv4 routing infrastructures. They are designed to allow IPv6 nodes to maintain complete compatibility with IPv4, which should greatly simplify the deployment of IPv6 in the Internet, and facilitate the eventual tran- sition of the entire Internet to IPv6.

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