IVI Translation

Stateless NAT64 (IVI)

IVI Translation refers to a stateless IPv4/IPv6 translation technique.[1] It allows hosts in different address families (IPv4 and IPv6) communicate with each other and keeps the end-to-end address transparency.[2]

Stateless NAT64 can be used in 4 different scenarios:[3]

  • An IPv6 network to the IPv4 Internet
  • The IPv4 Internet to an IPv6 network
  • An IPv6 network to an IPv4 network
  • An IPv4 network to an IPv6 network

Stateless NAT64 is a replacement of SIIT (RFC 6145).
