      <abstract>
	 <t>IPv4 and IPv6 are expected to coexist for a long period.  Currently,
there are many IPv4/IPv6 transition/coexistence techniques, roughly
divided into the categories of tunneling and translation.  Tunneling
and translation have respective application scopes, and translation
has some technical limitations, including scalability issue,
application layer translation, operation complexity, etc.  To improve
the availability of translation, this draft proposes the method of
selecting appropriate translation spot to execute translation.  When
the translation spot is not on IPv4-IPv6 border, tunnel is used to
achieve the traversing between translation spot and IP border.  This
method applies well in mesh scenario where both IPv4 and IPv6 client
network exists, and BGP can be extended to achieve a translation spot
signaling.
