Technical Summary
A stateless IPv4/IPv6 translator may receive ICMPv6 packets
containing non IPv4-translatable addresses as the source that should
be passed across the translator as an ICMP packet directed to the
IPv4-translatable destination. This document presents
recommendations for source address translation and original source
address transport in ICMPv6 headers for such cases.
Working Group Summary
The working group process was pretty straightforward. The authors brought an initial proposal, which was not accepted, and working group discussion resulted in the document's recommendation. To the shepherd's knowledge, there is no dissent regarding the final recommendation.
Document Quality
There are existing implementations of the procedure and protocol in question. It has been tested in CERNET/CERNET2.
Personnel
Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director?
