An outgoing packet sent from the Inter9 to Internet A's 1.2.3.4 can use the port number 10080 for port 80 of A's 1.2.3.4. An outgoing packet sent from the Inter9 to Internet B's 1.2.3.4 can use port number 10080 for port 80 of B's 1.2.3.4.
-No new routing protocols need to be introduced. Routing to incompatible internets is simply handled using NAT

+It is also possible to have 6-to-4 bridging by embedding an IPv4 address inside an IPv6 address. In this way, it will be possible to route to IPv4 addresses from any internet without the use of multiplexing by ports. (Thanks to mkf for this suggestion)
byte for byte compatibility with existing protocols on the wire is necessary to ensure compatibility
