abstract = "This document describes a bi-directional IPv6/IPv4 Socket Layer Translator (SLT) for border gateway routers. The new technique is called AIN_SLT which stands for Assuring Interconnection between Heterogeneous (IPv4/IPv6) Networks Using SLT. This mechanism assures a smooth heterogeneous communication between IPv6 and IPv4 nodes without using protocol translation. It applies IPv6/IPv4 socket Application Programming Interface (API) translation methodology between two heterogeneous networks by terminating IPv6/IPv4 connection points at the application layer. The AIN_SLT mechanism has many advantages over current translation/tunneling approaches, and so it does not require any configuration at end-users' hosts, it has the ability to translate non-NAT friendly traffic (i.e. FTP and SIP traffic), and it achieves a reliable communication by not breaking end-to-end protocol characteristics and security at physical layer (i.e. IPsec).",
