Re: IPv6 only host NAT64 requirements?

Hi Ole,

I was also thinking on this yesterday after the hackathon and I thing from that talk it is obvious that I will support that.

Also thought about this:

Could the “IPv6 node requirements document” include also a consideration for the same you mention here, in case there is IPv4-only in a dual-stack LAN with IPv6-only access?

I’m almost sure that this is out of the scope of the 6man charter, but I also feel that this is somehow our job … alternatively what is the correct place to do that? May be a new sunset4 document? Or int-area? The point here is an IPv4-only host being used in a network using IPv6-only for the access ...

Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: IPv6 only host NAT64 requirements?

    At the hackathon there was quite a bit of testing of IPv6 only hosts with access to the IPv4 network via a NAT64.

    While many applications work well on a classic IPv6 only host, there are a few things required to make all applications work.

    - Must be able to do NAT64 prefix discovery (RFC6052)
    - Synthesise IPv6 address from an IPv4 literal (RFC7050)

    This is to be able to deal with IPv4 address literals. Which are common in protocols like SIP/ICE/STUN.
    These can be implemented directly in applications, or it can be implemented in the host stack (although application might still have to change).

    - Should do local DNS64 to support DNSSEC (RFC6147) (if you do validation).

    A DNS64 service in the network looks like a man in the middle attack, so to support DNSSEC, validation should happen before synthesizing, and must be done on the host itself.

    If this is the direction we want to go. Encourage IPv6 only host deployments (as opposed to dual stack hosts), are these requirements we'd like to add to the IPv6 node requirements document? Somewhere else?

    Best regards,
    Ole
