Abstract

Due to specific problems, Network Address Translation - ProtocolTranslation (NAT-PT) was deprecated by the IETF as a mechanism toperform IPv6-IPv4 translation. Since then, new efforts have beenundertaken within IETF to standardize alternative mechanisms toperform IPv6-IPv4 translation. This document analyzes to what extentthe new stateful translation mechanisms avoid the problems thatcaused the IETF to deprecate NAT-PT.
