What do you mean with "compatibility addresses"? I don't know of any such thing. The ipv4 mapped ipv6 address is just a "hack" on the local system. You never see those "on the wire". Anyway, what is the problem? ipv4 and ipv6 can happely live on the same network, it does so far a long time now. Host just support both ipv4 and ipv6 now. If an application is written properly, you shouldn't even notice the connection is over ipv4 or ipv6.
