Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation (MAP-E)
Abstract
This document describes a mechanism for transporting IPv4 packets
across an IPv6 network using IP encapsulation. It also describes a
generic mechanism for mapping between IPv6 addresses and IPv4
addresses as well as transport-layer ports.
