Understanding DNS64

DNS64 is a mechanism that facilitates communication between IPv6-only clients and IPv4-only servers by synthesizing AAAA records from A records. It converts IPv4 addresses into IPv6 addresses to allow seamless connectivity between devices using different protocols. DNS64 acts as a bridge for networks transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, enhancing interoperability and enabling better communication in mixed addressing environments.
