Cisco Catalyst 6500: Building IPv6-Ready Campus Networks
White Papers Features such as Network Address Translation (NAT) can help overcome address-space limitations, but they also make bidirectional communication for primary triple-play (data, voice, and video) applications more challenging.

What Is IPv6?
White Papers The differences between IPv6 and IPv4 are in five major areas: addressing and routing, security, network address translation, administrative workload, and support for mobile devices. IP, the Internet Protocol, is one of the pillars, which supports...

Rocky road ahead for IPv6
News Besides, Droms points out, "new technologies like Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) and Network Address Translation (NAT) have been added to extend IPv4's potential addresses, and thus, it's useful lifetime.

Google takes action to build IPv6 momentum
News To sidestep the limitations, engineers have come up with patches such as network address translation (NAT) and dynamic IP addresses. Although it has been hard for companies to financially justify the expense of embracing the next-generation...

Concerns grow over IPv6 migration
News Daley said IPv6 was complex to understand in relation to IPv4 and that, in these early days, it remains unpredictable as to how network address translation equipment might handle IPv6. European businesses are being held back from migrating to IP...

Largest IPv6 network launched in China
News Some have said that techniques such as network address translation (NAT) -- which lets up to 257 nodes in a corporation sit behind a single IP address -- mean it is possible to work around IPv4's limitations.

Net may run out of IP space - TCP/IP pioneer
News One such workaround, for example, is network address translation, which allows computers within a corporation to share a small number of addresses. If no more addresses are created, eventually, no more sites will be able to be added to the Internet.

Enterprises urged to make IPv6 migration
News APNIC's Wilson said the much larger address space IPv6 has over IPv4 will allow businesses to expand their networks much more easily without the use of current workarounds, such as NAT (network address translation) technology.

IPv6 and IPv4 - big trouble coming, and soon
Blog Many of the same issues occur if you decide just to manage the existing resources more carefully, by using more address translation and other tricks, what's left can last longer but at the expense of manageability and interconnection.
