Abstract

This document describes an extension of the Stateless IP/ICMPTranslation for IPv6 Internet Data Center Environments (SIIT-DC)architecture, which allows applications, protocols, or nodes that areincompatible with IPv6 and/or Network Address Translation to operatecorrectly with SIIT-DC. This is accomplished by introducing a newcomponent called an SIIT-DC Edge Relay, which reverses thetranslations made by an SIIT-DC Border Relay. The application and/ornode is thus provided with seemingly native IPv4 connectivity thatprovides end-to-end address transparency.

The reader is expected to be familiar with the SIIT-DC architecturedescribed in RFC 7755.
