Durand Status: Experimental Date: October 2002 Mailbox: syl@pec.etri.re.kr, mkshin@pec.etri.re.kr, yjkim@pec.etri.re.kr, Alain.Durand@sun.com, erik.nordmark@sun.com Pages: 16 Characters: 34480 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ngtrans-bia-05.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3338.txt This document specifies a mechanism of dual stack hosts using a technique called "Bump-in-the-API"(BIA) which allows for the hosts to communicate with other IPv6 hosts using existing IPv4 applications. The goal of this mechanism is the same as that of the Bump-in-the-stack mechanism, but this mechanism provides the translation method between the IPv4 APIs and IPv6 APIs. Thus, the goal is simply achieved without IP header translation. This document is a product of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF.
