   Title:   Using Dummy IPv4 Address and Node Identification Extensions for IP/ICMP translators (XLATs)

Abstract:

   This document suggests that when a source IPv6 address of an ICMPv6
   message can not be translated to an IPv4 address, the protocol
   translators use the dummy IPv4 address (192.0.0.8) to translate the
   IPv6 source address, and utilize the ICMP extension for Node
   Identification (draft-ietf-intarea-extended-icmp-nodeid) to carry the
   original IPv6 source address of ICMPv6 messages.  This document
   obsoletes RFC6791, Stateless Source Address Mapping for ICMPv6
   Packets and updates IP/ICMP Translation Algorithm (RFC7915).
