I understand that the RFC 1918 address equivalent IPv6 addresses are called "Site-local" addresses and are FEC0::/48.
The site-local address was deprecated because of unclear notion of what is site. A new type local address can be used: ULA - Unique Local Addresses - http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-unique-local-addr-09.txt
I do not see any provision in the IPV6 standards for the equivalent of NAT. Is it safe to assume that if you only have a FEC0::/48 address space you cannot address other IPv6 hosts on the general internet? With IPv4 you can use NAT / PAT to translate a single valid IPv4 address into an entire internal network space. I don't see this as an option in IPv6 is this correct?
Why do you need this? What purpose? Take a look at the Network Architecture protection draft at:
