This document describes a mechanism for providing a host-based IPv6 translation technology which could guarantee IPv4 application backward compatibility. Applications need not necessarily to understand what the network connection and the destination's IP family type are. A well-known prefix could be used when the destination is public IPv4 Internet's address.}, }
