===================
The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft "Transition Mechanisms for
IPv6 Hosts and Routers" <draft-ietf-ngtrans-trans-mech-02.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.
