Stateful Address Translation Considerations

PROS

• uses standard, routable IPv6 addresses to IPv4 nodes

• bind arbitrary IPv4 addresses to IPv6 nodes

CONS

• must make checksum adjustments to higher layer protocols

• packets must route through same translator gateway

• dynamic (un)binding between IPv4 & IPv6 addresses

• may need to translate IP addresses in application data stream
