Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, application delivery controller (ADC) apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that receive a request including an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) source address and an IPv6 destination address. A client IP version 4 (IPv4) address of a client from which the request originated and a server IPv4 address of a server are determined from one or more extracted portions of one or more of the IPv6 source address or the IPv6 destination address. The request is modified to include an IPv4 source address and an IPv4 destination address. The IPv4 source address and the IPv4 destination address include the client IPv4 address and the server IPv4 address, respectively. The modified request is sent to the server based on the server IPv4 address included in the IPv4 destination address of the modified request.
