Technical Summary

This specification extends TURN (I-D.ietf-behave-turn) to support IPv6
communications to the remote peer.  TURN-IPv6 was designed to be used
as part of the ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) approach
to NAT traversal, though it can be also used without ICE.

Working Group Summary

There is good consensus in the WG to publish this document. 

Document Quality
