Boucadair, J. Touch, P. Levis, R. Penno Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: June 2013 Mailbox: mohamed.boucadair@orange.com, touch@isi.edu, pierre.levis@orange.com, repenno@cisco.com Pages: 24 Characters: 53498 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6967.txt This document is a collection of potential solutions for revealing a host identifier (denoted as HOST_ID) when a Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) or application proxies are involved in the path. This host identifier could be used by a remote server to sort packets according to the sending host. The host identifier must be unique to each host under the same shared IP address. This document analyzes a set of potential solutions for revealing a host identifier and does not recommend a particular solution, although it does highlight the hazards of some approaches.
