Convention for embedding IPv4 into IPv6?

All,
I read in rfc 4038 that representing IPv4 address in an IPv6 address should be like 2001::FFFF:192.168.1.1, which would be 2001::FFFF:c0a8:101, or 2001.2.3.4::FFFF:192.168.1.1 (2001:2:3:4:0:ffff:c0a8:101). However, setting up NAT-PT any 96 bit prefix will work. So I'm wondering if the standard set forth in rfc4038 (its informational) really applies to NAT-PT, or just for IPv4 applications not being natted (which doesn't make sense unless some other 4to6 mechanism is involved).
Any thoughts?
John

John,
it is not very clear what are you trying to achieve by "embedding" ipv4 (address|traffic) into ipv6.
By what you are discussing apperaars you are talking about the rappresentation of an IPv4 address into an IPv6 address field. Fact is that all bit being born equal they mean differently based on contest.
Each 4 hex digit are 16 bit and two groups of 4 hex digits (any) can contain and IPv4 address.
So an IPv4 compatible IPv6 address would be 0:0:0:0:0:0:192.168.1.1 which can also be rapresented as ::c0a8:101.
What that means and how edge routers/devices and gateway would handle such address depends on context/configuration. 6to4 6rd autotunnels ipv4 compatible ipv6 and ISATAP tunnels carry within their address field tunnel end point/ipv4 destination addresses that are extracted and used to route traffic.
I know I did not clear the issue up but it really depends on what you are doing/trying to achieve how you embed an ipv4 address (of what) in an IPv6 address field and what that meas.
I would definitely recommand:

Actually the whole book is a good read.
Hope this helps

What is the workflow for embedding FLV into website?

I have a client that I created FLV files for. Now his "web guy" is asking me how
to create SWF files so he can embed them onto his web pages. I
explained that Premiere only creates FLV and F4V files. My understanding is that he needs Flash
Pro CS5 to create the SWF files. Is this correct? I have been all over the web looking for t
he workflow for embedding video files like they do on you tube. I'm a videographer dammit, not a web designer!!
thanks for your time,
Stuart

There is really no need for him to get Flash if he doesn't already have it, he can use the embedding method in DreamWeaver or better yet, use a third party video player like

ZBF in a mixed ipv4 and ipv6 environment, don't touch ipv4

I have a dual stacked router for both ipv4 and ipv6. Ipv4 traffic should pass the zbf untouched due to the fact that there is another rock solid ipv4 firewall egress of the inside Interface. Is there a way that a class map like this could function on ipv6 traffic only?:

I didn't test it, but what about the following:
Configure a new class-map where you match on an ipv6 access-list "any to any"
Configure a third class map of type ""match all" where you match on your "fullproto" class-map and also the above ipv6 class-map. For this class map you configure your inspections.
For ipv4-traffic you configure a class with a "pass" action in both directions.

Can ANYONE please give me the source for converting IPV4 packets to IPV6

I had a file which contains IPV4 packets, I need to convert these packets into IPV6 . Can anyone please give the source..

Dynamic DNS for ipv4 AND ipv6?

tl;dr: do you know any dynamic dns service and updater daemon that supports both ipv4 and ipv6?
Hi,
ever since my provider supplied me with a proper dual stack account (real ipv4, real ipv6) for internet access I got some kind of little problem regarding the services I host at home. So this is mainly about email. I have a server sitting behind my router that has an open submission and IMAPS port. For ipv4 I've been using the NAT and dyndns features of my router (fritzbox) without any problem. For ipv6 there is no NAT (at least as far as my router is concerned). What I can do though is to open the firewall for incoming ports dynamically based on the interface identifier. So if someone wants to connect to an ipv6 address that would map to my server the router knows to not block the traffic. For this to work though I need update a dynamic DNS record with the public ipv6 address that my server gets to use (something out of the prefix my provider assignes me). This server is an arch linux box. I tried to use inadyn-mt with some systemd unit file I found through google but this does not seem to work right. When I'm in ipv4-only networks (on a mobile connection for example) I often can't resolve the right ip address of my server through dyndns. The thing is that my server doesn't know about a changed ipv4 address because this is handled by the router. It does only know about when his own ipv6 address changes/expires. Based on when this happens inadyn-mt might fire an update to dyndns and with that also pick up the new ipv4 address, but this is not guaranteed.
Any suggenstions, tool and/or service proposals? Is there a way dns-wise to add a CNAME alias just for A records and not for AAAA?

I currently use cloudflare as the DNS servers for my domain as it's free and allows to update certain records with their API. I only use it for IPv4, but since they support AAAA records, I assume it will work for IPv6 just as well. It should be quite simple for you to update the script to get the ip of a given interface instead of fetching it from the net.

Prefer IPv4 over IPv6

Hi. I want use ipv4 before ipv6. For 2008 R2 i used fix "Microsoft Fix it 50410"
But this not support server 2012.
How i can correct change prefer on 2012?
Thank you!

Please, tell me, WHY man, who create IPv6 began use this fe80::6c02:573b:178c:dd8f naming.
Blame that on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards committee that came up with this naming convention back in 1998 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2460). <grin>
Not sure what you mean by "reliable source with describe 'native IPv6 for 8\12'". Microsoft has lots of documentation on IPv6 - I think the majority of it came out with Windows Server 2008 because that was the first release with the dual-stack as a
default. IpV6 was available for Windows Server 2003, but it was an add-on. Go to Barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com to find a good reference book on IPv6 if you want to learn more - they are not small books. It is the way the industry is moving
because it offers many advantages over IPv4 (which, by the way, has officially run out of addresses which can be handed out). Microsoft is simply helping customers move into future by providing a dual-stack that can automatically switch back and forth
between IPv4 applications and IPv6 applications without the end-user even knowing it goes on. Some things, like Direct Access, would be almost impossible to implement on IPv4, but becomes (relatively) easy when using IPv6.

EA4500 loses IPv4 and IPv6 information

No changes made but router will lose all information for IPv connectivity. I have paid twice to support to fix this issue and it still occurs every few months.
I tried rebooting router, and doing an IP Release/ Renew and router does not get IP address. I'd prefer not to have to pay again to fix this router. Any ideas?

Sorry - thought I had info:
I don't see anything on the router indicating a model other than EA4500. There is a serial number. Its plugged directly into a
Toshiba PCX2500 modem. If I connect my PC directly to the modem I have internet.
The router maintains all settings that Cisco helped me set up before except there are not IPv4 or IPv6 settings. I have screen shots from the setup. The Cisco rep had to clone the MAC of the modem to get the router to work. (Admin tab).
I unplugged modem and router and rebooted each. Everything appears to come up normally except for no IPv4/6 settings. I tried a release/renew but those settings stay blank.
I have internal network connectivity with the router, just no internet. I use Road Runner. I have a second network also on Road Runner but on a different modum and domain that is working fine. Unfortunately I have hard wired connections and kids games that rely on the EA4500

IPv4 to IPv6 RDP Access

Hi;
In our ınfrastructure we use dual-stack. We configured our cluster firewall and router (BGPv6).
Now we have an application server whichs 's run only over IPv6 address. We want to connect this server over RDP service from our edge sites which's run on IPv4 public address. Is it possible ? If possible what we're supposed to do ?
Best regards
Umut

If your firewall has NAT46 capability it is possible, but of all the possible NAT things you can try, that direction is the ugliest. The "right" answer is to dual-stack the edge networks, but that is presumably a long-run solution for you, not a short run one. I don't think RDP embeds IPv4 addresses in the content, so it can probably work. In general, doing protocol translation between IPv4 and IPv6 in either direction on things that aren't simple 1:1 TCP connections is a bad idea.

Getaddrinfo function returns IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in canonical name

When I use the getaddrinfo function with flag AI_CANONNAME, then in ai_canonname IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses is returned even for IPV6 disabled machine.
So my question is that from where this canonical name is returned, I didn't found in /etc/nodename /etc/hosts or in /etc/inet/hosts or in /etc/interfacefile files.

It's only showing "unknown" for the IPv6 address.
Go into your IPv6 properties, and set the IP and DNS address settings to be obtained automatically.
Then in Manage network adapters windows, change the view options to show Menu, then click on Advanced, Advanced, and make sure IPv4 is on top instead of IPv6.

WRT54G v6 not working with new Motorola SB6141 on Comcast (IPv4 and IPv6)

My WRT54G v6 not working with a new Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem on Comcast (IPv4 and IPv6).
Yesterday, I had my old DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem and the WRT54G had been working just fine for the past 8 years.
Last night, I swap in the DOCSIS 3.0 SB6141 cable modem, and now the WRT54G keeps losing the internet connection. When I go into the status page for the WRT54G, I often do not see DNS servers and sometimes do not even see an IP address.
If I connect a PC directly to the SB6141 cable modem, I have no problems whatsoever. But whenever I connect through the WRT54G and power cycle both devices, then I have internet connectivity for about an hour before it drops out. I have noticed my gateway IP address and DNS servers change at that time as well. I can also force the Linksys to lose connectivity by doing a DHCP release/renew on the Linksys status page.
Is this behavior because of the dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) coming through the cable modem from Comcast now? Is there any way I can keep using my WRT54G v6 now that I have the SB6141 cable modem?

You just have to install it correctly.

Problem running apache dual stack IPv4 and IPv6

Hello!
I am running a single Lion-Server with one public IPv4 address. Because my Provider is able to support IPv6 now, I ordered a public IPv6 address for my server. (To learn IPv6)
I setup IPv6 address and setup the firewall with ip6fw - everything works fine, I can connect to ssh and afp via IPv4 or IPv6 but when I try to connect to my wiki over IPv6 I get the certificate question (unknown certificate ... blah) click continue and the certificate is loeded againe - I end up in an infinte loop of certificate questions.
The part of the firewall config looks like this:
20515 allow tcp from any to any 443
20516 allow tcp from any to any 8443
20517 allow tcp from any to any 1640
I looked into apache config:
/etc/apache2/sites/virtual_host_global.conf has this entries:
Listen *:443
NameVirtualHost *:443
Listen *:80
NameVirtualHost *:80
I have only one domain and only one single virtual host as defined in /etc/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_.conf:

I have not modified the apache config by hand until now - but this was an upgrade from Snow Leopard Server. At the moment I am a littel scared to upgrade to Mountain Lion server because this server runs mail and calender services for my company.
I tried to setup "Listen" entry with dedicated IP-addresses, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6 but this only leads to the same problem - IPv4 works, IPv6 ends in an infinte loop.
I found somewhere that I had to duplicate virtual hosts setup for IPv4 and IPv6 but afaik "Server.app" will overwrite it, right?
Every hint is welcome, bye
Christoph
P.S. Sorry just saw that I posted to ML-Server discussions not Lion-Server, but maybe someone can tell me that I can upgrade without scare.

Hello!
Did some more testing and found that FireFox works with the loopback-address.
https://[::1]/
So, the address above works with FireFox after accepting the certificate - Safari loops in the dialog accepting the certificate.
Then I tried the link-local-address but it looks like apache does not listen to that address at all
Then I tried the global-address and got to:
Safari looping in the certificate dialog
FireFox brings an alert „sec_err_bad_database"
BTW this tests were made on the server that runs the apache. So no firewall between the browser and the server.
No one using Mac OS X server in a dual stack enviroment?

You can only add images to a Slideshow widget and Composition widgets do not have the Counter option at this time.

Proposal for embedding XMP in IFF and RIFF files... (where to submit?)

Since Adobe does not seem to have created any proposal
for embedding XMP packets into IFF and RIFF files, I
propose the following (Is it possible to submit it
to Adobe so they can include it somewhere, do they
accept propositions?):
This is a draft proposal for embedding XMP packets into
IFF and RIFF files. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Carl Eric Codere
http://www.optimasc.com
Embedding XMP data into EA IFF'85 file formats
===============================================
This proposal permits adding XMP compatible metadata to standard
IFF files. An IFF file is composed of chunks of data; each of
the chunks precedeed by a header giving the type of data that
follows, as well as the length of the data in the chunk. For
more information on the IFF file format, consult the specification
"EA IFF 85 Standard for Interchange Format Files".
Including XMP data in an IFF compatible file is a matter
of using a chunk type that will contain the XMP packet. The chunk
ID for this type of date shall be "XMP ".
Guidelines for IFF writers
If the XMP packet is to be used, the software can optionally
write out the following chunks
(defined in the original standard):
"NAME", which represents the dc:title property in XMP.
"AUTH", which represents the dc:creator property in XMP.
"(c) ", which represents the dc:rights property in XMP.
In the case where they are written, for better validation by reader
software, the XMP packet should also contain the xmp:MetadataDate
property.
For better portability, and to easily modify the embedded
XMP data, the following guidelines should be followed by
the IFF writer:
- The XMP packet should contain the full packet signature;
this permits easier searching for tools that do not
understand the IFF file format.
- The XMP packet should be encoded in UTF-8.
- As specified in the XMP specification, an XMP packet
should be filled with blank spaces for easier updating of
the XMP packet without rewriting the entire file.
A suggested size of an XMP chunk is 4096 or 8192 bytes.
- Only one "XMP " chunk should be present in the file
(Even in "CAT " files).
Guidelines for IFF readers
If an XMP packet is present in an IFF file, then one of
the following options can be used to retrieve the
metadata from the file:
If the "NAME", or "(c) " or "AUTH" chunks are also present,
then, one of the following solutions can be used:
a) Compare the xmp:MetadataDate property with the
file modification date to determine which chunk to use
for the dc:title, dc:righrs and dc:creator field. (If the
file modification date is greater than xmp:MetadataDate,
it is probably
safe to assume that the "NAME", "(c) " and "AUTH" chunks
might have been updated by software that does not
understand XMP packets.
b) Simply ignore these chunks and use the XMP
packet for the metadata.
c) Simply ignore the XMP chunk , and use the
other chunks for getting the metadata of the file.
Embedding XMP data into IBM-Microsoft RIFF file formats
=======================================================
This proposal permits adding XMP compatible metadata to standard
RIFF files. A RIFF file is composed of chunks of data; each of
the chunks precedeed by a header giving the type of data that
follows, as well as the length of the data in the chunk. For
more information on the RIFF file format, consult the specification
"Multimedia Programming Interface and Data Specifications 1.0"
Including XMP data in an RIFF compatible file is a matter
of adding a subchunk to the INFO LIST chunk. The subchunk
ID for this type of date shall be "IXMP".
Guidelines for RIFF writers
If the XMP packet is to be used, the software can optionally
write out all other INFO LIST registered (from the standard),
assuming the following ma

Thanks for the info Paul. You (or anyone else) wouldn't happen to know if and when a Photoshop version likely to address this issue will be available (ie embedding XMP packets into GIF and PNG files according to the guidelines presented in XMPEmbedding.pdf)?
Also, I like to point out the discrepancy for embedding an xmp packet into the PNG format (as listed in XMPEmbedding.pdf) and the sample provided in the SDK (BlueSquare57.png). XMPEmbedding.pdf state that an XMP packet is to be placed in an 'iTXt' chunk. However BlueSquare57.png has the packet in a 'tXMP' chunk. Which is the correct one? Or are they both correct and an XMP packet can be found in either an 'iTXt' or 'tXMP' chunks?

Embedding video into imovie

Can anyone tell me if imove embeds video into imovie project, or does is always need to find the video file to play it?
thanks

fryedmeb,
I'm not sure if I completely follow your question, but I'll take a stab at it.
What appears as a single iMovie project file is really a package containing all the necessary media for the project. Video clips, audio clips etc.
It also contains a reference file with instructions on how all the pieces get put together to form the project.
But, at the iMovie project stage, all the media are discrete pieces. "Unembeded" so to speak.
Once you output (Share) your iMoive to, say, a full quality DV QuickTIme file, the movie is then rendered as one self contained file.
