While a /96 prefix seems a natural selection (it provides exactly 32 bit),
other prefix lengths are defined in RFC6052 (see figure
\ref{fig:prefixlen}) that allow flexible embedding of the IPv4 address.

either that the address is part of a configured prefix or that it has
a dedicated table entry for mapping this IPv6 address to an IPv4

In relation to IPv6 and IPv4, there are in general three different

Without an extension to the address space, there is no protocol independent
mapping of IPv4 address to IPv6 (see section

Thus IPv4 only hosts can
never address every host in the IPv6 Internet. While protocol
dependent translations can try to minimise the impact, accessing all
IPv6 addresses independent of the protcol is not possible.
