RFC 3338: Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-API" (BIA)

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6535.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 6535 — Dual-Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host" (BIH)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies a mechanism of dual stack hosts using a technique called 'Bump-in-the-API'(BIA) which allows for the hosts to communicate with other IPv6 hosts using existing IPv4 applications. The goal of this mechanism is the same as that of the Bump-in-the-stack mechanism [BIS], but this mechanism provides the translation method between the IPv4 APIs and IPv6 APIs. Thus, the goal is simply achieved without IP header translation.
