I mean that IPv6, to my (admittedly poor) understanding, does not contain a specification as to how to route "legacy" IPv4 packets. To have IPv4 packets work in an IPv6 network, you need a whole IPv4 infrastucture. And when you are there, you may as well just use IPv4.
But maybe I am mistaken. Does the IPv6 specification proposes way to map an IPv4 network inside an IPv6 one? Or are all these later hacks?
- Dagger2 8y agoI'm not fully sure what you're asking for here exactly... you're going to need a v4 infrastructure to route v4 packets, because that's what having a v4 infrastructure means. You can map the entire v4 space into a v6 /96 with NAT64. That works fine, giving the same sort of outbound-only connectivity that NAT gives in v4. Does that do the job?
