   Title:   Using the Well-Known IPv6 Prefix to Represent Non-Global IPv4 Addresses

Abstract:

   This document modifies the requirement introduced in Section 3.1 of
   RFC6052 that IPv4/IPv6 Translators MUST NOT use the Well-Known Prefix
   64:ff9b::/96 to represent non-globally reachable IPv4 addresses, such
   as those defined in RFC1918 or listed in Section 2.2.2 of RFC6890.
   The proposed change enables IPv6-only nodes to reach IPv4-only
   services with specific non-globally reachable addresses by leveraging
   the Well-Known Prefix.

   This document updates Section 3.1 of RFC6052 ("Restrictions on the
   Use of the Well-Known Prefix") to allow packets in which an address
   is composed of the Well-Known Prefix and specific non-globally
   reachable IPv4 addresses to be translated.
