Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document extends the Stateless IP/ICMP Translation Algorithm
   (SIIT) with an Explicit Address Mapping (EAM) algorithm, and
   formally updates RFC 6145.  The EAM algorithm facilitates stateless
   IP/ICMP translation between arbitrary (non-IPv4-translatable)
   IPv6 endpoints and IPv4.

Working Group Summary

   The only real issue raised in the working group was whether the
   document should go to a different one, based on the working group
   charter. The working group elected to address it, with the AD's
   concurrence, based on siit-dc and siit-dc-2xlat being an operational
   procedure and this being closely related, and the facts that
   behave is closed and softwire is closing.

Document Quality

   The document describes something that is in fact implemented in
   at least four products from three vendors, and is in use in the
   author's networks and in other networks, as discussed at IETF
   93.

Personnel

Fred Baker is the document shepherd, and Joel Jaeggli is the AD.
