The clatd script makes it easy to set up packet translation between IPv6
and IPv4 networks.
.
Supported deployment models include:
.
- IPv6-only/IPv6-mostly LANs (RFCs pending),
- ISPs using 464XLAT (RFC 6877) and
- Data centers using SIIT-DC (RFC 7755).
.
An RFC for the LAN deployment is currently in the works, see "6mops" IETF
draft.
.
When used on a LAN it is currently advisable to run clatd (or another CLAT
implementation) on all end-user computers. While the DNS64 (RFC 6147)
mechanism can help to make this less necessary and instead rely on the
network-wide NAT64 (RFC 6146) translation service this is considered at
best a transitory hack. Even if DNS64 is technically acceptable it is
challanging because some applications may use "address literals" directly
instead of relying on DNS to resolve names to addressess.
