An FTP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for IPv6-to-IPv4 Translation

FTP64 was adopted by the BEHAVE working group for an application layer gateway that makes it possible for an IPv6 FTP client to connect and exchange files with an IPv4 FTP server. It has been published as RFC 6384 in October 2011. This RFC specifies an application layer gateway (ALG) that works toge...

Sumario:FTP64 was adopted by the BEHAVE working group for an application layer gateway that makes it possible for an IPv6 FTP client to connect and exchange files with an IPv4 FTP server. It has been published as RFC 6384 in October 2011. This RFC specifies an application layer gateway (ALG) that works together with NAT64 to allow the FTP protocol to work when FTP clients that only have IPv6 connectivity connect to FTP servers that only have IPv4 connectivity and don’t understand the newer commands that are used with IPv6. The FTP64 ALG modifies the commands that the FTP client sends to the FTP server and the responses from the server to the client.
