Overview
Because of the coexistence of IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks, Network Address Translation–Protocol
Translation (NAT-PT) was introduced to realize translation between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. For
example, it can enable a host in an IPv6 network to access the FTP server in an IPv4 network.
As shown in
260HFigure 30, NAT-PT runs on the device between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The address
translation is transparent to both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Users in the IPv6 and IPv4 networks can
communicate without changing their configurations.
