How To Install jool-dkms on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install jool-dkms on Debian 12.
What is jool-dkms
jool-dkms is:
Jool is an IP/ICMP translator; a NAT-like kernel-based utility that converts IPv4 traffic into IPv6 and vice versa, according to a configurable IP address translation strategy.
The jool_siit module implements SIIT (sometimes known as “Stateless NAT64”),
a lightweight translator that avoids storing state by keeping a deterministic
1-to-1 relationship between IPv4 addresses and their IPv6 counterparts. It can
translate addresses using the “traditional prefix” algorithm defined in RFC
6052, and/or the Explicit Address Mapping algorithm defined in RFC 7757.
The jool module implements Stateful NAT64, a translator that can achieve 1
(IPv4)-to-N (IPv6) relationships through a mapping strategy based on stateful
NAT. Its full address translation algorithm is defined in RFC 6146.
Both of these functions can be attached to the kernel in Netfilter hooks or as iptables targets.
This package contains the kernel modules. The jool-tools package contains the userspace configuration clients.
