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.
