Abstract
A method of receiving an IPv6 data packet in an IPv6 domain connected to an IPv4 domain, said packet comprising an IPv6 destination address and an IPv6 source address. The method comprises the following steps: identifying an IPv6 destination address constructed by concatenating an operator prefix, an IPv4 destination address, and a destination port number; if necessary, regularizing at least one address of the data packet and modifying the data packet; and routing the modified data packet to its destination.
