Abstract

Bump-in-the-Host (BIH) is a host-based IPv4 to IPv6 protocoltranslation mechanism that allows a class of IPv4-only applicationsthat work through NATs to communicate with IPv6-only peers. The hoston which applications are running may be connected to IPv6-only ordual-stack access networks. BIH hides IPv6 and makes the IPv4-onlyapplications think they are talking with IPv4 peers by localsynthesis of IPv4 addresses. This document obsoletes RFC 2767 andRFC 3338. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
