ISATAP (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) is an IPv6 transition mechanism for the transmission of IPv6 data packets between dual-stack nodes connected via an IPv4 network. With this variant of the 6to4 mechanism developed by Cisco and Microsoft , an automatic tunnel is set up, whereby the IPv4 network is used as a link layer from the perspective of IPv6 (security layer in the OSI model ).

The IPv6 address is formed from the local IPv4 address.

The mechanism was standardized in RFC 5214 .

functionality

With ISATAP, the IPv4 address is contained in the interface ID of the IPv6 address. For this purpose, a / 128 address from the normal unicast address range of the own provider is assigned for each IPv4 host.

The following algorithm is used to generate the address :

<ISATAP-Präfix/64>:0000:5EFE:<ipv4-Adresse>

Example:

From the IPv4 address:91.198.174.225

derives from the given prefix: 2001:4CA0:0:FE00::/64

the following ISATAP address:

2001:4CA0:0:FE00:0:5EFE:91.198.174.225 or.

2001:4CA0:0:FE00:0:5EFE:5BC6:AEE1

Implementation of ISATAP

ISATAP is implemented in Microsoft Windows XP , Windows Vista , Windows 7 , Windows 8 , Windows 10 , Windows Server 2008 , Windows Server 2012 , Windows Mobile , Linux and in some versions of Cisco IOS . Under Linux, the userspace program isatapd is also required.
