Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 2] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 1. Introduction The IANA unallocated IPv4 address pool was exhausted on February 3, 2011. Each RIR's unallocated IPv4 address pool will exhaust in the near future. It will be difficult for many networks to assign IPv4 addresses to end users, despite substantial IP connectivity growth required for fast growing edge networks. This document describes an IPv4 over IPv6 solution as one of the techniques for IPv4 service extension and encouragement of IPv6 deployment. 464XLAT is not a one for one replacement of full IPv4 functionality. The 464XLAT architecture only supports IPv4 in the client server model, where the server has global IPv4 address. This means it is not fit for IPv4 peer-to-peer communication or inbound IPv4 connections. 464XLAT builds on IPv6 transport and includes full any to any IPv6 communication. The 464XLAT architecture described in this document uses IPv4/IPv6 translation standardized in [RFC6145] and [RFC6146]. It does not require DNS64 [RFC6147] since an IPv4 host may simply send IPv4 packets, including packets to an IPv4 DNS server, which will be translated on the CLAT to IPv6 and back to IPv4 on the PLAT. 464XLAT networks may use DNS64 [RFC6147] to enable single stateful translation [RFC6146] instead of 464XLAT double translation where possible. The 464XLAT architecture encourages IPv6 transition by making IPv4 services reachable across IPv6-only networks and providing IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity to single-stack IPv4 or IPv6 servers and peers. By combining 464XLAT with BIH [RFC6535], it is also possible to provide single IPv4 to IPv6 translation service, which will be needed in the future case of IPv6-only servers and peers to be reached from legacy IPv4-only hosts across IPv6-only networks. 2. BCP Scenario This BCP only applies when the following two criteria are present: 1. There is an IPv6-only access network that uses stateful translation [RFC6146] 2. There are IPv4-only applications or hosts that must communicate across the IPv6-only access network to reach the IPv4 Internet Mawatari, et al. Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 3] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 3. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 4. Terminology PLAT: PLAT is Provider side translator(XLAT) that complies with [RFC6146]. It translates N:1 global IPv6 packets to global IPv4 packets, and vice versa. CLAT: CLAT is Customer side translator(XLAT) that complies with [RFC6145]. It algorithmically translates 1:1 private IPv4 packets to global IPv6 packets, and vice versa. The CLAT function is applicable to a router or an end-node such as a mobile phone. CLAT SHOULD perform router function to facilitate packets forwarding through the stateless translation even if it is an end-node. In the case where the access network does not allow for a dedicated IPv6 prefix for translation, a NAT44 SHOULD be used between the router function and the stateless translator function. The CLAT as a common home router or 3G router is expected to perform gateway functions such as DHCP server and DNS proxy for local clients. The CLAT does not comply with the sentence "Both IPv4-translatable IPv6 addresses and IPv4-converted IPv6 addresses SHOULD use the same prefix." that is described on Section 3.3 in [RFC6052] due to using different IPv6 prefixes for CLAT-side and PLAT-side IPv4 addresses. 5. Motivation and Uniqueness of 464XLAT 1. Minimal IPv4 resource requirements, maximum IPv4 efficiency through statistical multiplexing 2. No new protocols required, quick deployment 3. IPv6-only networks are simpler and therefore less expensive to operate 6. Network Architecture 464XLAT architecture is shown in the following figure. Mawatari, et al. Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 4] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 6.1. Wireline Network Architecture The private IPv4 host on this diagram can reach global IPv4 hosts via translation on both CLAT and PLAT. On the other hand, the IPv6 host can reach other IPv6 hosts on the Internet directly without translation. This means that the CPE can not only have the function of CLAT but also the function of IPv6 native router for IPv6 native traffic. ---- | v6 | ---- | ---- | .---+---. .------. | v6 |-----+ / \ / \ ---- | ------ / IPv6 \ ------ / IPv4 \ +---| CLAT |---+ Internet +---| PLAT |---+ Internet | ------- | ------ \ / ------ \ / |v4p/v6 |--+ `---------' `----+----' ------- | | ----- | ----- | v4p |----+ | v4g | ----- | ----- <- v4p -> XLAT <--------- v6 --------> XLAT <- v4g -> v6 : Global IPv6 v4p : Private IPv4 v4g : Global IPv4 Figure 1: Wireline Network Topology 6.2. Wireless 3GPP Network Architecture The CLAT function on the UE provides an [RFC1918] address and IPv4 default route. The applications on the UE can use the private IPv4 address for reaching global IPv4 hosts via translation on both CLAT and PLAT. On the other hand, reaching IPv6 hosts (including host presented via DNS64 [RFC6147]) does not require the CLAT function on the UE. Mawatari, et al.

Applicability 7.1. Wireline Network Applicability When an ISP has IPv6 464XLAT, the ISP can provide outgoing IPv4 service to end users across an IPv6 access network. The result is that edge network growth is no longer tightly coupled to the availability of scarce IPv4 addresses. If the IXP or another provider operates the PLAT, the edge ISP is only required to deploy an IPv6 access network. All ISPs do not need IPv4 access networks. They can migrate their access network to a simple and highly scalable IPv6-only environment. Incidentally, the effectiveness of 464XLAT was confirmed in the WIDE camp Spring 2012. The result is described in Mawatari, et al. Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 6] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 [I-D.hazeyama-widecamp-ipv6-only-experience]. 7.2. Wireless 3GPP Network Applicability The vast majority of mobile networks are compliant to Pre-Release 9 3GPP standards. In Pre-Release 9 3GPP networks, GSM and UMTS networks must signal and support both IPv4 and IPv6 Packet Data Protocol (PDP) attachments to access IPv4 and IPv6 network destinations [RFC6459]. Since there are 2 PDPs required to support 2 address families, this is double the number of PDPs required to support the status quo of 1 address family, which is IPv4. 464XLAT in combination with stateful translation [RFC6146] and DNS64 [RFC6147] allows 85% of the Android applications to continue to work with single translation or native IPv6 access. For the remaining 15% of applications that require IPv4 connectivity, the CLAT function on the UE provides a private IPv4 address and IPv4 default-route on the host for the applications to reference and bind to. Connections sourced from the IPv4 interface are immediately routed to the CLAT function and passed to the IPv6-only mobile network, destine to the PLAT. In summary, the UE has the CLAT function that does a stateless translation [RFC6145], but only when required. The mobile network has a PLAT that does stateful translation [RFC6146]. 464XLAT works with today's existing systems as much as possible. 464XLAT is compatible with existing network based deep packet inspection solutions like 3GPP standardized Policy and Charging Control (PCC) [TS.23203]. 8. Implementation Considerations 8.1. IPv6 Address Format IPv6 address format in 464XLAT is defined in Section 2.2 of [RFC6052]. 8.2. IPv4/IPv6 Address Translation Chart 8.2.1. Case of enabling only stateless XLATE on CLAT This case should be used when a prefix delegation mechanism such as DHCPv6-PD [RFC3633] is available to assign a dedicated translation prefix to the CLAT.

Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 10] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 8.3. IPv6 Prefix Handling 8.3.1. Case of enabling only stateless XLATE on CLAT From the delegated DHCPv6 [RFC3633] prefix, a /64 is dedicated to source and receive IPv6 packets associated with the stateless translation [RFC6145]. The CLAT MAY discover the Pref64::/n of the PLAT via some method such as DHCPv6 option, TR-069, DNS APL RR [RFC3123] or [I-D.ietf-behave-nat64-discovery-heuristic]. 8.3.2. Case of enabling NAT44 and stateless XLATE on CLAT In the case that DHCPv6-PD [RFC3633] is not available, the CLAT does not have dedicated IPv6 prefix for translation. If the CLAT does not have a dedicated IPv6 prefix for translation, the CLAT can perform with NAT44 and stateless translation [RFC6145]. Incoming source IPv4 packets from the LAN of [RFC1918] addresses are NAT44 to the CLAT IPv4 host address. Then, the CLAT will do a stateless translation [RFC6145] so that the IPv4 packets from the CLAT IPv4 host address are translated to the CLAT WAN IPv6 address as described in [RFC6052]. Its subnet prefix is made of the delegated prefix, completed if needed to a /64 by a subnet ID = 0. Its interface ID is the 464XLAT interface ID (Section 10). The CLAT MAY discover the Pref64::/n of the PLAT via some method such as TR-069, DNS APL RR [RFC3123] or [I-D.ietf-behave-nat64-discovery-heuristic]. Mawatari, et al.

DNS Proxy Implementation The CLAT SHOULD implement a DNS proxy as defined in [RFC5625]. The case of an IPv4-only node behind CLAT querying an IPv4 DNS server is undesirable since it requires both stateful and stateless translation for each DNS lookup. The CLAT SHOULD set itself as the DNS server via DHCP or other means and proxy DNS queries for IPv4 and IPv6 clients. Using the CLAT enabled home router or UE as a DNS proxy is a normal consume gateway function and simplifies the traffic flow so that only IPv6 native queries are made across the access network. The CLAT SHOULD allow for a client to query any DNS server of its choice and bypass the proxy. 8.6. CLAT in a Gateway The CLAT is a stateless translation feature which can be implemented in a common home router or mobile phone that has a mobile router feature. The router with CLAT function SHOULD provide common router services such as DHCP of [RFC1918] addresses, DHCPv6, and DNS service. The router SHOULD set itself as the DNS server advertised via DHCP or other means to the clients so that it may implement the DNS proxy function to avoid double translation of DNS request. 8.7. CLAT to CLAT communications While CLAT to CLAT IPv4 communication may work when the client IPv4 subnets do not overlap, this traffic flow is out of scope. 464XLAT is Mawatari, et al. Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 12] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 a hub and spoke architecture focused on enabling IPv4-only services over IPv6-only access networks. 9. Deployment Considerations Even if the Internet access provider for consumers is different from the PLAT provider (e.g. another internet access provider), it can implement traffic engineering independently from the PLAT provider. Detailed reasons are below: 1. The Internet access provider for consumers can figure out IPv4 destination address from translated IPv6 packet header, so it can implement traffic engineering based on IPv4 destination address (e.g. traffic monitoring for each IPv4 destination address, packet filtering for each IPv4 destination address, etc.). The tunneling methods do not have such a advantage, without any deep packet inspection for processing the inner IPv4 packet of the tunnel packet. 2. If the Internet access provider for consumers can assign IPv6 prefix greater than /64 for each subscriber, this 464XLAT architecture can separate IPv6 prefix for native IPv6 packets and XLAT prefix for IPv4/IPv6 translation packets. Accordingly, it can identify the type of packets ("native IPv6 packets" and "IPv4/IPv6 translation packets"), and implement traffic engineering based on IPv6 prefix. This 464XLAT architecture has two capabilities. One is a IPv4 -> IPv6 -> IPv4 translation for sharing global IPv4 addresses, another, if combined with BIH [RFC6535], is a IPv4 -> IPv6 translation for reaching IPv6-only servers from IPv4-only clients that can not support IPv6. IPv4-only clients must be support through the long period of global transition to IPv6. 10. Security Considerations To implement a PLAT, see security considerations presented in Section 5 of [RFC6146]. To implement a CLAT, see security considerations presented in Section 7 of [RFC6145]. The CLAT MAY comply with [RFC6092]. 11. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to reserve a Modified EUI-64 identifier for 464XLAT Mawatari, et al. Expires February 8, 2013 [Page 13] Internet-Draft 464XLAT August 2012 according to section 2.2.2 of [RFC5342]. Its suggested value is 02- 00-5E-00-00-00-00-00 to 02-00-5E-0F-FF-FF-FF-FF or 02-00-5E-10-00-00- 00-00 to 02-00-5E-EF-FF-FF-FF-FF, depending on whether it should be taken in reserved or available values. 12.
