I really just wanted to test some NAT64 stuff Why even bother? It doesn't get you much with IPv6. Or have you already used up all the addresses in your /64 subnet? ;-) Hehe, not quite. Have to be careful not to squander them left, right and center :-)
However - what do you do with e.g. a smartphone that has only IPv6 ? How does it get access to IPv4 only websites, for instance? NAT64 seems to be an answer, but I guess it's not the only one. This morning I set up NAT64 with dns64 and tayga, works really well.
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. I don't know if you have it, but there's an excellent IPv6 book, from O'Reilly called IPv6 Essentials that has a lot of useful info, including some discussion about converting between IPv4 and IPv6. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023432.do -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
