IPv6-to-IPv4 translation FTP considerations

Iljitsch van Beijnum

Abstract

The only FTP mode that works without changes through an IPv6-to-IPv4 translator is extended passive, introduced in 1998. However, many existing FTP servers don't support this mode, making it impossible to support the File Transfer Protocol through an IPv6-to-IPv4 translator without an Application Layer Gateway. This document describes the behavior of such an ALG.
