IETF RFC 6791

Stateless Source Address Mapping for ICMPv6 Packets

Organization: IETF
Publication Date: 1 November 2012
Status: active
Page Count: 6
scope:

A stateless IPv4/IPv6 translator may receive ICMPv6 packets containing non-IPv4-translatable addresses as the source. These packets should be passed across the translator as ICMP packets directed to the IPv4 destination. This document presents recommendations for source address translation in ICMPv6 headers to handle such cases.
