A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Short term NAT requirements for IPv6 transition
	Author(s)	: C. Huitema
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ngtrans-natreq4ipv6-00.txt
	Pages		: 8

During the next few years, as the Ipv4 address space moves toward 
exhaustion, it is likely that the deployment of NAT will accelerate. 
By 2005, millions of NAT devices will likely be deployed on the 
Internet, both within enterprises and consumer households. Should 
those NAT devices not support either native Ipv6, or IPv6 transition 
mechanisms such as 6 to 4, the result would be significant delays in 
the deployment of IPv6.

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.
