There are conversion mechanisms as per RFC 6052 & 6145. Regular NAT
won't do it, as all it does is change the apparent address whether on IPv4 or IPv6. RFC6052 & RFC6145 - TL;DR most of it, but it seems to me that this is exactly what I set up this morning.
Nonetheless, do you have a better way of enabling an ipv6-only device to access ipv4 addresses? I'm learning, practical hints please.
The whole ipv4 address room is translated with a prefix into ipv6 addresses, some call this NAT46 some call that 4to6.
It's not quite that simple. While TCP generally works fine, there are some issues with UDP. One is a checksum is optional with IPv4 UDP, but mandatory with IPv6. There are also some ICMP kinks that have to be handled. There is also the issue of variable length IP headers on IPv4 vs extension headers on IPv6. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
