How do I forward IPv6 prefix into thread network to reach CoAP server?

Caspar Friedrich

Hi, I currently try to build a little thread network with a border router bridging to ethernet. I did everything like in the Border Router Quick Start Guide and as far as I can say, everything works fine. My problem is now that I need to reach the CoAP server from outside via IPv6. Is there a 'simple' way to modify your example to forward IPv6 prefixes?

Regards Caspar

    Do you have IPv6 connection between the boarder router and internet? The boarder router use NAT64 to provide IPv6 prefix to the devices and translating the IPv6 addresses to IPv4. This makes it simple to send messages from the thread network to IPv4 sites on internet, but it does not provide true IPv6 connection. It is not a trivial task to translate incoming IPv4 packages into IPv6 packages for the right device.
