192.0.0.170 is a well-known address used to discover a network’s NAT64 prefix.
Short answer
192.0.0.170 is a well-known address used to discover a network’s NAT64 prefix.
What it means
RFC 7050 has devices on IPv6-only networks look up the name ipv4only.arpa, which resolves to 192.0.0.170 and 192.0.0.171. The IPv6 answer a DNS64 server synthesises for it reveals the NAT64 prefix in use.
It is never a real host.
