Please do not suggest anything remotely close to this. The v4 mapped v6 address space is for API compatibility purposes only (i.e. use AF_INET6 with v4 addresses). These addresses should never ever appear on the wire. For more information see section 2.2 of RFC4942 and draft-itojun-v6ops-v4mapped-harmful-02.txt (expired draft - google it) Cheers Suresh -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
