The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Explicit Address Mappings for Stateless IP/ICMP Translation' (draft-ietf-v6ops-siit-eam-03.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IPv6 Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-siit-eam/ Technical Summary This document extends the Stateless IP/ICMP Translation Algorithm (SIIT) with an Explicit Address Mapping (EAM) algorithm, and formally updates RFC 6145. The EAM algorithm facilitates stateless IP/ICMP translation between arbitrary (non-IPv4-translatable) IPv6 endpoints and IPv4. Working Group Summary The only real issue raised in the working group was whether the document should go to a different one, based on the working group charter. The working group elected to address it, with the AD's concurrence, based on siit-dc and siit-dc-2xlat being an operational procedure and this being closely related, and the facts that behave is closed and softwire is closing. Document Quality The document describes something that is in fact implemented in at least four products from three vendors, and is in use in the author's networks and in other networks, as discussed at IETF 93. Personnel Fred Baker is the document shepherd, and Joel Jaeggli is the AD.
