   Title:   IPv6-Resolved IPv4 Gateway

Abstract:

   This document specifies host behavior enabling IPv4 communication for
   dual-stack hosts on IPv6-only segments, without subnets, ARP,
   tunneling, or translation.  Hosts that receive 192.0.0.11/32 as their
   IPv4 default gateway address resolve the next-hop link-layer address
   from the IPv6 neighbor cache rather than via ARP.  IPv4 packets are
   forwarded natively, end-to-end.  The mechanism is incrementally
   deployable alongside unmodified hosts with no changes to DHCPv4
   infrastructure.  This document requests the allocation of
   192.0.0.11/32 in the IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry to
   support this mechanism.
