The implementation of NAT66 and the olutions of multi-homing in NAT66 environment

Abstract

The mechanism brought by NAT deserves our attention in IPv6. NAT66, IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Address Translation, provides a new mapping mechanism to design a NAT in IPv6 and aims to avoid as many of the issues associated with NAT as possible. This paper introduces the design and implementation of NAT66 and also discusses the multi-homing solutions in NAT66 environment. As the solutions of HIP and RFC 3484 don't work with NAT66 devices and there is no existing ILNP demo, in this paper we specialize in the implementation of ILNP on solving multi-homing problems in NAT66 environment.
