NAT-PT with multicast
AINTEC'06: Proceedings of the Second Asian international conference on Technologies for Advanced Heterogeneous NetworksThis work investigates Network Address Translation – Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) as an IPv4/IPv6 transition technique. NAT-PT is adequate for unicast communication, however, there is no provision for multicast address mapping. This paper presents a ...
Tunneling IPv6 through NAT with Teredo Mechanism
AINA '05: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Volume 2Teredo is a service that enables hosts located behind one or more IPv4 NATs to obtain IPv6 connectivity by tunneling packets over IPv4 UDP. Under the national IPv6 deployment project in Taiwan, we developed the first Linux-based Teredo service in 2003. ...
