What purpose does NAT64 serve in IPv6?

NAT64 serves as a mechanism to facilitate communication between IPv6-only and IPv4-only networks by allowing IPv6 clients to access IPv4 services. It translates IPv6 packets to IPv4 packets and vice versa, enabling seamless connectivity without requiring the IPv4 service to be directly accessible via IPv6. This is particularly useful during the transition period from IPv4 to IPv6, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across different network environments.


What is meant by tunneling in the context of migrating from IPv4 to IPv6?

Tunneling in the context of migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 refers to the technique of encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets to facilitate communication between IPv6 networks over existing IPv4 infrastructure. This allows organizations to gradually transition to IPv6 without needing to replace all their IPv4 equipment immediately. Tunneling can be implemented using various protocols, such as 6to4 or Teredo, enabling interoperability between the two IP versions during the transition period.
