IVI Translation refers to a stateless IPv4/IPv6 translation technique. It allows hosts in different address families (IPv4 and IPv6) communicate with each other and keeps the end-to-end address transparency.
Stateless NAT64 can be used in 4 different scenarios:
- 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).
