There are ways to work around that. All of them (and some more) were tried and/or are in use with IPv6: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanisms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanisms
- rcxdude 5y agoThose are all ways of allowing ipv6 to address ipv4, (or tunning ipv6 over ipv4 infrastructure) which is fairly easy to manage (getting the reverse connection still involves NAT though). None of them are ways of allowing ipv4 to address ipv6, because that fundamentally doesn't work by the pigeonhole principle.
