This document describes the use of the Stateless IP/ICMP Translation
Algorithm (SIIT) in an IPv6 Internet Data Center (IDC). In this
deployment model, traffic from legacy IPv4-only clients on the
Internet is translated to IPv6 upon reaching the IDC operator's
network infrastructure. From that point on, it may be treated the
same as traffic from native IPv6 end users. The IPv6 endpoints may
be numbered using arbitrary (non-IPv4-translatable) IPv6 addresses.
This facilitates a single-stack IPv6-only network infrastructure, as
well as efficient utilization of public IPv4 addresses.
The primary audience is IDC operators who are deploying IPv6, running
out of available IPv4 addresses, and/or feeling that dual stack
causes undesirable operational complexity.
This document is a product of the IPv6 Operations Working Group of the IETF.
