Change of title
editI renamed the title phrase "IPv6 translation" to "IPv6 transition", because the goal is a transition to IPv6, not the reverse (from IPv6). This is the standard term used when referring in general to the migration to IPv6. The first citations of the article describe transition mechanisms, not translation mechanism, but the remainder does list the aspects of "translation" of features. Alternatively, to be correct, the title might also be "IPv4-IPv6 translation mechanism", if one want to stick with the 'translation' term. Discussions are encouraged.

- This sounds reasonable to me. I went ahead and fixed the double redirects. Wrs1864 (talk) 23:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- thanks for the opinion and the fixes Kbrose (talk) 00:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable to me too. Translation is one of several a transition mechanisms. --Kvng (talk) 21:21, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Regroup
editI think that we should regroup all the IPv6 transition mechanisms in three main groups:
- - Dual Stack
- - Tunneling
- - Translation
This is the usual form of division of the types of mechanisms in serveral documentation, including IPV6#Transition mechanisms. If we think so, I can do it.Mtorrecilla (talk) 15:16, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Comcast Discussion
editNo reference to Comcast's adoption of DS-Lite, or the fact that they have published a custom open source router firmware based on OpenWRT? Their firmware is designed to use 6RD to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 at first and then automatically detect and reverse the tunneling when Comcast provisions the user with IPv6. IMHO they kind of bungled their management of the firmware release: they just put it out there, and expected "the community" to go wild. Doesn't mean it's any less impressive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EasternPA (talk • contribs) 00:00, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
Market relevance?
editThis article is supposed to be about IPv6 transition methods. It appears an irrelevant section about IPv4 markets is here. It appears to violate NPoV, and is the only section which doesn't actuall have anything to do with moving IPv6 packets. I think it should be removed. jzp (talk) 06:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- I agree with your assessment and removed the section. Kbrose (talk) 16:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
"See above?" but no mention of above?
editThe statement "The client uses a SIIT translator (see above)" in the section about 464XLAT makes no sense, as there is no "above" explanation as to what a SIIT translator is. I would fix but I have no idea what a SIIT translator is :P. 184.170.93.22 (talk) 03:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Question.
editWhat about apns prior to Android lollipops that show dual IPs? Will it work? Daren50 (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
MAP-T and MAP-E already in extensive production use
editWhile not adopted formally by IETF yet, both MAP-T and MAP-E are already in production use by some ISPs, for example Iliad and Sky Italia in Europe https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/presentations/richard-patterson-sky-italia-and-map-t https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/IPv6_deployment
