Abstract
Systems and methods manage network traffic of a first protocol by use of a second protocol. Network traffic directed toward a network destination address of a first protocol is received. A mapping of addresses is utilized to determine a corresponding other network address of the second protocol. The network traffic is reconfigured to be forwarded to the intended network destination using the second protocol and the determined corresponding other network address.
