Dual Stack Transition Mechanism (DSTM) is a transition mechanism based on the usage of
IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnels to facilitate interoperability between newly deployed IPv6 networks
and existing IPv4 networks. DSTM is best-suited for IPv6 dominant environments where
hosts still need to exchange information with legacy IPv4 hosts or applications.
Significant Advantages:
Legacy IPv4 applications can be run over IPv6-only networks without modification
DSTM Client - dual-stack node running the DSTM client software which requests the
IPv4 address from the DSTM server; allows host on the IPv6 network to communicate
with IPv4 applications or hosts.
DSTM Server - a dual-stack node running the DSTM server software which
provides IPv4 address allocation along with the IPv6 address of the DSTM
Gateway / TEP.
DSTM Gateway or Tunnel End Point (TEP) - performs the encapsulation and
decapsulation of tunneled packets.
