This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF. Title : A Guide to the Introduction of IPv6 in the IPv4 World Author(s) : W. Biemolt, M. Kaat, R. van der Pol, H. Steenman Filename: draft-ietf-ngtrans-introduction-to-ipv6-transition-00.txt Pages : 26 Date : 20-Apr-99 This document is a guide to the introduction of IPv6 in the current IPv4 based Internet or Intranets. Several general issues to start IPv6 networking in a predominantly IPv4 world are discussed, such as how to obtain IPv6 address space, IPv6 DNS and routing issues. Short descriptions are given of the different translation and migration tools that translate between IPv6 and IPv4 and/or tunnel IPv6 over IPv4. The remainder of the document describes how IPv6 can be introduced in various environments, such as ISPs, Internet Exchanges and end user environments and suggestions are given on the use of the different translation and migration tools.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ngtrans-introduction-to-ipv6-transition-00.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.
