The transition from a pure IPv4 network to a network where IPv4 and
IPv6 coexist brings a number of extra security considerations that
need to be taken into account when deploying IPv6 and operating the
dual-protocol network and the associated transition mechanisms.  This
document attempts to give an overview of the various issues grouped
into three categories:

o  issues due to the IPv6 protocol itself,
o  issues due to transition mechanisms, and
o  issues due to IPv6 deployment.  

This memo provides information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the IPv6 Operations
Working Group of the IETF.
