Title : Dual Stack Transition Mechanism
Author(s) : J. Bound
Filename : draft-bound-dstm-exp-00.txt

The deployment of IPv6 will require a tightly coupled use of IPv4
addresses to support the interoperation of IPv6 and IPv4 within an
IPv6 dominant network. Nodes will still need to communicate with
IPv4 nodes that do not have a Dual IP layer supporting both IPv4 and
IPv6. The Dual IP Layer Stack Transition Mechanism (DSTM) is based on
the use of IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnels to carry IPv4 traffic within an
IPv6 dominant network and provides a method to allocate a temporary
IPv4 address to Dual IP Layer IPv6/IPv4 capable nodes. DSTM is also a
way to avoid the use of Network Address Translation for early adopter
IPv6 deployment to communicate with IPv4 legacy nodes and
applications.

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.
