Characteristics (2/2)
Current existing client SOCKSv5 library can be used
- In case of the IPv4 -> IPv6 direction translation,current existing client SOCKSv5 library can be used without modification.
Both TCP and UDP relay translations are possible.
- Since the SOCKSv5 protocol support both TCP and UDP relays, this architecture can translate not only TCP but also UDP relays.
Both IPv4->IPv6 and IPv6->IPv4 translations are possible
Multiple chained relay is possible.
Can support FTP (IP address information exchange applications)
- The Translator has the capability to introduce protocol translation routines.
- If protocols are known (e.g., ftp), the Translator can support them by introducing special protocol translation routines
