Abstract
This document describes a derived PNAT mechanism that hosts do not need IPv4 addresses, neither public, private nor faked IPv4 address. PNAT solution was first proposed by Huang & Deng in [PNAT], which provides application-level transparency for hosts in IPv4 and IPv6 hybrid environments via host-based IPv4/IPv6 translation technique. This specification addresses one of the PNAT scenarios where a host is provided IPv6 only network connectivity. Two IPv6 addresses will be assigned to a PNAT host. One is native IPv6 address, and the other is a PNAT IPv6 address. In this case, IPv4- originated communications still need to be translated into IPv6. However, the host does not need to be assigned an IPv4 address. Instead, a PNAT IPv6 address will take the place of the originally required IPv4 address.Two formats of PNAT IPv6 address,4rd (IPv4 Rapid Deployment) address and 4rm (IPv4 Rapid Migration) address, are defined. The advantage of the derived PNAT mechanism is that such IPv6 PNAT host supports both IPv4 and IPv6 applications, with SIMPLICITY, SCALABILITY and without worrying about any IPv4 address allocating issue.
