Summary:A computer-implemented method for transmitting messages associated with IPv4 addresses on an IPv6 network comprising: receiving, in a first message from an IPv4 network, an IPv4 address of a component in the IPv4 network; parsing the IPv4 address into a plurality of elements; creating a new host name for the IPv4 address based on the parsed plurality of elements; sending, to a domain name server (DNS) associated with the IPv6 network, a request to perform a DNS lookup of the host name; responsive to the DNS lookup request, receiving an IPv6 address; and processing the first message as if it were originally received with the IPv6 address.
