The need for a generic solution to enable communication
between 2 nodes running 2 different versions of IP
has been identified in the study of DNS, SMTP and 3GPP.
The current solution, NAT-PT, does not fit very well
(see: draft-durand-natpt-dns-alg-issues-00.txt) in those
scenario.

Here is a proposal to address this problem.
I have split the problem space in two:
- Connections started from IPv6 to IPv4: NAT64
- Connections started from IPv4 to IPv6: NAT46

Comments welcome.
