Abstract

The current Internet is suffering from IPv4 address depletion. Stateless NAT64 is proposed to facilitate the IPv4/IPv6 co-existence and transition. In the past, the stateless NAT64 is mainly for IPv6 clients to access both IPv6 and IPv4 servers. As the fast growth of IP address consuming Internet services, the support for pure IPv6 servers is becoming urgent. In this paper, we propose a design of stateless NAT64 based translator with server port mapping and application layer proxy support to ensure both the IPv4 and IPv6 accessibility to pure IPv6 servers. By deploying such translators, pure IPv6 server infrastructure can be built and the transition process can be promoted.
