IPv4 carried over ( or inside ) a IPv6 network

[vaughn.munden]

Hi all,

Any ideas as to where I could find some good resources on how to carry IPv4 inside of a IPv6 network? Or, as well, maybe doing IPv4-to-IPv6-to-IPv4 translation. I am curious about how one could build a 100% IPv6 network, and yet still carry the 'legacy' IPv4 traffic of customers and the Internet of course. Any resources as well on BGP and OSPF in an IPv6 network would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Vaughn

Assuming you know where to access RFC's

RFC 1933 is a good place to start. This document goes over how IPV4 and IPV6 can operate together (V6 and V4 Tunneling, etc)

RFC 2473 - Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6 Specification

RFC 2463 - Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the IPv6 Specification

RFC 2491 - IPv6 over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks

RFC 2492 - IPv6 over ATM Networks

For IPV6 BGP information go to Google.com and search on the following:

draft-bates-bgp4-multiprotocol-03.txt

RFC 2283 - Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4

OSPF support of IPV6

http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/proceedings/95apr/rtg/ospf.coltun.slides.html

rfc2740 - OSPF for IPv6

Hope this helps,
