Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein provide for gateway based IP address translation in communication networks. Data associated with an IPv4 address is received by a network gateway device which maintains an IPv4 to IPv6 mapping table that may population with information queried from DNS servers. The mapping table may be accessed to determine a destination IPv6 address enabling received data to be modified to use the IPv6 address to natively access IPv6 Internet resources and domains.

A method for performing Internet reachability management and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: establishing, by a processor of the UE, a first connection to a first access device; receiving, by the processor, an indicator complying with a first protocol sent from the first access device; in response to receiving the indicator, performing, by the processor, a reachability detection complying with a second protocol to generate a detection result; and in response to the detection result representing that a network is not reachable, performing at least one of: displaying, by a display of the UE, a message or icon to represent the first connection or the network is unavailable; disconnecting, by the processor, the first connection; and establishing, by the processor, a second connection to a second access device.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for communications. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include sending, by a gateway, an advertisement including an internet protocol version 6 over low power wireless personal area network context option carrying a well-known prefix, the well-known prefix indicating to a node that the gateway provides an uplink in accordance with internet protocol version 4; and receiving, at the gateway, a first packet received via the wireless network in accordance with internet protocol version 6, the first packet including a destination address in accordance with internet protocol version 4. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Techniques are described for managing communications between multiple computing nodes, such as for computing nodes that are part of managed virtual computer networks provided on behalf of users or other entities. In some situations, one or more of the computing nodes of a managed virtual computer network is configured to perform actions to extend capabilities of the managed virtual computer network to other computing nodes that are not part of the managed virtual computer network, such as by forwarding communications between computing nodes of the managed virtual computer network and the other external computing nodes so as to enable the other external computing nodes to participate in the managed virtual computer network. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

Embodiments herein disclose a method for Device IP Status Checking and Connection Orchestration (DISCCO) by a first electronic device. The method may include receiving a version(s) of an IP address from a backhaul server. The method may include determining an IP stack capability status of a second electronic device using a network protocol(s), where the IP stack capability status indicates whether the received version(s) of the IP address is supported by the second electronic device and the received version(s) of the IP address is enabled on the second electronic device. The method may include storing the IP stack capability status of the second electronic device into a host status database of the first electronic device. The method may include orchestrating the received version(s) of the IP address with the backhaul server and/or the second electronic device based on the stored IP stack capability status.

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, application delivery controller (ADC) apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that receive a request including an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) source address and an IPv6 destination address. A client IP version 4 (IPv4) address of a client from which the request originated and a server IPv4 address of a server are determined from one or more extracted portions of one or more of the IPv6 source address or the IPv6 destination address. The request is modified to include an IPv4 source address and an IPv4 destination address. The IPv4 source address and the IPv4 destination address include the client IPv4 address and the server IPv4 address, respectively. The modified request is sent to the server based on the server IPv4 address included in the IPv4 destination address of the modified request.
