Aoun, E. Davies Status: Informational Date: July 2007 Mailbox: ietf@energizeurnet.com, elwynd@dial.pipex.com Pages: 25 Characters: 60284 Obsoletes: RFC2766 See-Also: I-D Tag: draft-ietf-v6ops-natpt-to-historic-00.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4966.txt 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.
