	Title		: An IPv6-IPv4 Compatibility Aggregatable Global Unicast Address Format
	Author(s)	: F. Templin

This memo specifies an IPv6-IPv4 compatibility aggregatable global
unicast address format for any IPv6 host, gateway or router that has at
least one globally unique IPv4 address. The approach outlined in this memo allows for large-scale incremental deployment of IPv6 hosts within
heterogeneous IPv6/v4 domains without incurring aggregation scaling issues at the border gateways. This address format supports both global routing within the native IPv6 routing domain and automatic tunneling across IPv4 networks with no native IPv6 support. This memo additionally specifies a non-globally routable IPv6-IPv4 compatibility address format for use within private networks with non-globally unique IPv4 addresses. Finally, this memo proposes a method for global routing of such addresses through a combination of mechanisms specified in this document and other works in progress in the NGTRANS working group.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
