This document discusses issues with the specific form of IPv6-IPv4

protocol translation mechanism implemented by the Network Address

Translator - Protocol Translator (NAT-PT) defined in RFC 2766.  These

issues are sufficiently serious that recommending RFC 2766 as a

general purpose transition mechanism is no longer desirable, and this

document recommends that the IETF should reclassify RFC 2766 from

Proposed Standard to Historic status.  This memo provides information 

for the Internet community.



This document is a product of the IPv6 Operations

Working Group of the IETF.
