OK… Let’s talk about how?
How would you have made it possible for a host that only understands 32-bit addresses to exchange traffic with a host that only has a 128-bit address?
A bit in the header or similar (version field) indicating extending addressing (what we call IPv6, or similar) is in use for this packet.
How does that allow the host that only understands 32-bit addresses to exchange traffic with a host which sets this header bit? - Matt
