IVI/MAP-T/MAP-E: Unified IPv4/IPv6 Stateless Translation and Encapsulation Technologies

Release Date:2013-10-14 Author:Congxiao Bao and Xing Li Click:

[Abstract] Stateless translation and stateless double translation/encapsulation technologies (IVI/MAP-T/MAP-E) define the address mapping and protocol translation/encapsulation algorithms between IPv4 and IPv6. IVI/MAP-T/MAP-E technologies maintain end-to-end address transparency between IPv4 and IPv6 and support communication initiated by IPv4-only or IPv6-only end systems. Therefore, they are the very critical techniques for the IPv4/IPv6 coexistence and transition.
