About IPv4 to IPv6
IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Address
This is a format to represent an IPv4 address as an IPv6 address. It allows IPv4-only nodes to be represented in an IPv6 address space.
Format
The format is ::ffff:x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IPv4 address. Internally, the first 80 bits are zeros, the next 16 bits are ones, and the last 32 bits are the IPv4 address.
