Abstract
A virtual machine host may provide IPv4 connections to IPv4 virtual machine guests and map the connections to IPv6 networks. The IPv6 addressed exposed by the virtual machine host may be used in an IPv6 environment to communicate with the virtual machine guests, enabling various IPv6 connected scenarios for the IPv4 virtual machines. The virtual machine host may receive IPv6 communications, and translate those communications to IPv4 to communicate with the virtual machine guests. Similarly, the outbound IPv4 communications may be translated into IPv6 for communications to the IPv6 network.
