The growth of IPv6 networks started mainly using the transport facilities
offered by the current Internet. This led to the development of several
techniques to manage IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. However, classic tunneling
methods do not work when the IPv6 candidate node is isolated behind a
Network Address Translator (NAT) device. We propose here a service, called
Silkroad, to enable nodes located behind one or several IPv4 NATs to obtain
IPv6 connectivity. It can provide IPv6 connectivity through all existing
NAT types and does not require any update of them. In addition, Silkroad
does not need special IPv6 addressing prefix and can provide the users with
permanent/temporary IPv6 addresses.
