RFC 6333: Dual-Stack Lite Broadband Deployments Following IPv4 Exhaustion

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7335. Read both.

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

This document revisits the dual-stack model and introduces the Dual- Stack Lite technology aimed at better aligning the costs and benefits of deploying IPv6 in service provider networks. Dual-Stack Lite enables a broadband service provider to share IPv4 addresses among customers by combining two well-known technologies: IP in IP (IPv4- in-IPv6) and Network Address Translation (NAT).
