This document specifies a method for connecting IPv6 hosts and routers (nodes) within predominantly IPv4-based sites. This method is based on an IPv6-IPv4 compatibility aggregatable global unicast address format (described herein) that embeds the IPv4 address of a node within the EUI-64 format interface identifier of an IPv6 address. This document assumes that, during the IPv4 to IPv6 coexisten...
