The IPv6 application can send an IPv6 packet through the translator if it knows the IPv6 prefix of the IPv6/IPv4 translator. In many IPv6/IPv4 translation deployments, that IPv6 prefix is not fixed; rather, the prefix is chosen by the network operator. This specification provides three methods for a host to learn the IPv6 prefix of its IPv6/IPv4 translator. Unicast, any-source multicast (ASM), and source-specific multicast (SSM) are supported.}, }
