    Abstract: Provided is a method of correlating an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address with an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address. The method may include communicating, via the Internet, an IPv4-addressed signal transmitted to, or received from, an IPv4-capable computing device. The method may also include communicating, via the Internet, an IPv6-addressed signal transmitted to, or received from, an IPv6-capable computing device. The method may further include determining that the IPv4-capable computing device and the IPv6-capable computing device are the same computing device based on the IPv4-addressed signal and the IPv6-addressed signal, and storing in memory data indicating a correlation between at least part of the IPv4 address and at least part of the IPv6 address.
