The patch is not correct. IPv4 address can be embedded in different places depending from configuration.

Here, I also compare the destination addresses. Is this what you want?

No, take a look at RFC 6052 p2.2..

Also, how did test your changes? :)
NAT64 currently is not widely used, thus changes here can break something and you will know about breakage when it will be not so easy to fix, e.g. after release.

I decided to use the existing function nat64_extract_ip4() to extract the IPv4 and removed my nat64_get_ip4().

I'm new to the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack, sorry.
