A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Network Address Translation - Protocol 
                          Translation (NAT-PT]
	Author(s)	: G. Tsirtsis
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ngtrans-natpt-00.txt
	Pages		: 4
	Date		: 29-Dec-97
	
   This document specifies a transition mechanism in addition  to  those
   already  specified  in  RFC  1933.   The new mechanism can be used to
   allow IPv6-only hosts  to  communicate  with  IPv4-only  hosts  using
   Network  Address  Translation,  for efficient use of the IPv4 address
   space, and Protocol  Translation,  in  order  to  avoid  implementing
   dual-stack  in  every  machine  that  migrates to IPv6. This proposal
   attempts to reuse as much functionality  as  possible  from  existing
   proposals like [NAT], [NNAT] and [SIIT].

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
