Abstract: A system and method for allowing legacy devices to operate on an IPv4 network is disclosed. The system includes a gateway device to interface between IPv4 devices and legacy devices. In some embodiments, the gateway device has a plurality of network interfaces to communicate with these legacy devices. The gateway device discovers the legacy devices that it can communicate with. The gateway device then enumerates these legacy devices in a manner that allows them to be accessible to the IPv4 device. In certain embodiments, the gateway enumerates each legacy device as a port on its IPv4 address.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing legacy devices to operate on a IPv6 network is disclosed. The system includes a gateway device to interfaces between DotDot devices and legacy devices. In some embodiments, the gateway device has a plurality of network interfaces to communicate with these legacy devices. The gateway device discovers the legacy devices that it can communicate with. The gateway device then enumerates these legacy devices in a manner that allows them to be accessed by the DotDot device. In certain embodiments, the gateway device enumerates each legacy device as a unique IPv6 address.
