Abstract
DNS64 is a mechanism for synthesizing AAAA records from A records.DNS64 is used with an IPv6/IPv4 translator to enable client-servercommunication between an IPv6-only client and an IPv4-only server,without requiring any changes to either the IPv6 or the IPv4 node,for the class of applications that work through NATs. This documentspecifies DNS64, and provides suggestions on how it should bedeployed in conjunction with IPv6/IPv4 translators. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
