IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6-to-IPv6_Network_Prefix_TranslationIPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6 or NAT66) is an specification for IPv6 to achieve the address-independence at the network edge, similar to network address translation (NAT) in Internet Protocol version 4. It has fewer architectural problems than traditional IPv4 NAT; it is for example stateless and preserves the reachability attributed to the end-to-end principle. However, the method may not translate embedded IPv6 addresses properly (IPsec can be impacted), and s…

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6296RFC 6296 NPTv6 June 2011 1.Introduction This document describes a stateless IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) function, designed to provide address independence to the edge network. It is transport-agnostic with respect to transports that do not checksum the IP header, such as SCTP, and to transports that use the TCP/UDP/DCCP (Datagram Congestion …
NPTv6 — OPNsense documentation
docs.opnsense.org › manual › nptv6Network Prefix Translation, shortened to NPTv6, is used to translate IPv6 addresses. A common usage for this is to translate global (“WAN”) IPs to local ones. In this regard, it is similar to NAT, although NPTv6 can only be used to map addresses one-to-one, unlike NAT which typically translates one external IP to several internal ones.
