transition technologies. However, it does not solve the IPv4 address depletion issue because each dual
stack node must have a globally unique IP address.
1682BTunneling
Tunneling is an encapsulation technology that utilizes one network protocol to encapsulate packets of
another network protocol and transfer them over the network. For more information about tunneling, see
VPN Configuration Guide.
1683BNAT-PT
Network Address Translation – Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) is usually applied on a device between IPv4
and IPv6 networks to translate between IPv4 and IPv6 packets, allowing communication between IPv4
and IPv6 nodes. It performs IP address translation, and according to different protocols, performs
semantic translation for packets. This technology is only suitable for communication between a pure IPv4
node and a pure IPv6 node. For more information about NAT-PT, see NAT and ALG Configuration
Guide.
