The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host" (BIH)' (draft-ietf-behave-v4v6-bih-09.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Behavior Engineering for Hindrance Avoidance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are David Harrington and Wesley Eddy. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-behave-v4v6-bih/ Technical Summary Bump-In-the-Host (BIH) is a host-based IPv4 to IPv6 protocol translation mechanism that allows a class of IPv4-only applications that work through NATs to communicate with IPv6-only peers. The host on which applications are running may be connected to IPv6-only or dual-stack access networks. BIH hides IPv6 and makes the IPv4-only applications think they are talking with IPv4 peers by local synthesis of IPv4 addresses. This draft obsoletes RFC 2767 and RFC 3338. Working Group Summary The primary point of earlier contention was with respect to whether this NAT46-in-a-host could be placed behind a NAT64 and achieve NAT464. The WG consensus was that that case should be disallowed, and the present document reflects that consensus. Document Quality This document obsoletes two previous RFCs on implementation, and updates them based on implementation experience. At least one implementation is in progress for the new document, and others are expected.
