      <abstract>
	 <t>With the approaching exhaustion of IPv4 address space, large-scale
ISPs are now facing the option to deploy IPv6 in a timely manner.
However, most existing IPv6 transition solutions have tradeoff
between scalability and efficiency. This draft proposes a lightweight
address family transition mechanism named LAFT6. It only needs to
maintain per-subscriber state entries in core network and there is no
specific address format requirement for users&#x27; IPv6 address. It is a
lightweight solution in terms of state-management, addressing and
routing. The experimental results have shown that LAFT6 is scalable
and can be rapidly deployed in commercial ISP network.
