Bridge

Bridge is a NAT64 gateway implementation that enables communication between IPv6-only networks and IPv4-only resources. It translates IPv6 packets to IPv4 and vice versa, allowing IPv6 clients to access IPv4 services without requiring dual-stack support. This lightweight, Go-based solution offers efficient packet handling, customizable configurations, and easy deployment in various network environments. Bridge aims to ease the transition to IPv6 while maintaining compatibility with the existing IPv4 infrastructure.

Running the Project

To run Bridge, follow these steps:

   go install 

4. Bridge Initialization

   bridge init

   This initializes the bridgeconfig.yaml file for Bridge CLI.

5. Bridge run

   bridge run

   This command runs the bridge CLI. The source IP, the destination IP, RTT, the number of sent and received packets, and results are listed in a tabular column.

6. Bridge DNS

   bridge dns

   By using bridge DNS, the DNS64 resolving starts

7. Bridge Metrics

bridge metrics --nat64

This command will show the live metrics of translation in the web dashboard.
