The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft "Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers" <draft-ietf-ngtrans-trans-mech-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the New Generation Transition Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Scott Bradner and Allison Mankin. Technical Summary This document specifies IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers. These mechanisms include providing complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and tunneling IPv6 packets over IPv4 routing infrastructures. They are designed to allow IPv6 nodes to maintain complete compatibility with IPv4, which should greatly simplify the deployment of IPv6 in the Internet, and facilitate the eventual transition of the entire Internet to IPv6. Working Group Summary The working group agreed on the specification. Protocol Quality The protocol has been reviewed by Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner.
