So how do you make a system that only has an IPv4 address talk to a system with only an IPv6 address? Simple enough: you translate the packet. The IETF standardized a way to do this years ago under the name SIIT (Stateless IP and ICMP Translation). However, SIIT has a big problem: the translation is one-to-one...
