Title : Hosts with Any Network Connectivity Using "Bump-in-the-API"(BIA)
Author(s) : A. Hamarsheh
Filename : draft-hamarsheh-behave-biav2-04.txt
Pages : 29

This document specifies a mechanism for hosts with any network
connectivity (IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or dual IPv4/IPv6
connectivity) to run applications of any capability
(IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or dual IPv4/IPv6) without any
modification to those applications. It is a generalisation
of a previous experimental protocol called "Bump-in-the-API"
(BIA) [RFC3338]. New mechanism of BIA allows a changeover between
the application layer and the IP communication layers from IPv4
to IPv6 and vice versa or IPv6 to IPv4 and vice versa, without
requiring those applications to be converted in addressing
capabilities, effectively shielding the application layer from
IPv4 or IPv6 connectivity. This is considered by the authors to
be one of the essential conditions for the transition to IPv6
in the Internet to be successful.
