The document discusses various techniques for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, including dual stack, tunnels, and translation. Dual stack allows simultaneous support of both IPv4 and IPv6 by keeping both protocol stacks. Tunnels encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to carry IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks. Translation techniques like NAT64 algorithmically translate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to allow communication between IPv4-only and IPv6-only nodes. Newer methods like 464XLAT and DS-Lite aim to address IPv4 exhaustion by sharing public IPv4 addresses among more clients.
