Protocol Action: 'Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers' to Proposed Standard

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers '
    <draft-ietf-v6ops-mech-v2-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard

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

The IESG contact persons are David Kessens and Bert Wijnen.

Technical Summary

  This document specifies IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be
  implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers.  Two mechanisms are specified,
  "dual stack" and configured tunneling.  Dual stack implies providing
  complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol
  (IPv4 and IPv6) and configured tunneling provides a means to carry
  IPv6 packets over unmodified IPv4 routing infrastructures.

  This document obsoletes RFC 2893.
