          4over6 Access for IPv4 provisioning in IPv6 network
                   draft-cui-softwire-host-4over6-03

Abstract

   This draft proposes a mechanism for bidirectional IPv4 communication
   between IPv4 Internet and end hosts or IPv4 networks sited in IPv6
   access networks.  This mechanism follows the softwire hub & spoke
   model and uses IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel as basic method to traverse IPv6
   network.  By allocating public IPv4 addresses to end hosts/networks
   in IPv6, it can achieve IPv4 end-to-end bidirectional communication
   between IPv4 Internet and these hosts/networks.  This mechanism is an
   IPv4 access method for hosts and IPv4 networks sited in IPv6.

1.  Introduction

   Global IPv4 addresses are running out fast.  Meanwhile, the demand
   for IP address is still growing and may even burst in potential
   circumstances like the "Internet of Things".  To satisfy the end
   users, operators have to push IPv6 to the front, by building IPv6
   networks and providing IPv6 services.

   When IPv6-only network are widely deployed, users of those networks
   will probably still need IPv4 connectivity.  This is because part of
   Internet will stay IPv4-only for a long time, and network users in
   IPv6-only network will communicate with network users sited in the
   IPv4-only part of Internet.  This need could eventually decrease with
   the general IPv6 adoption.

   Network operators should provide IPv4 services to IPv6 users to
   satisfy their needs, usually through tunnels.  This type of IPv4
   services differ by provisioned IPv4 addresses.  If the users can't
   get public IPv4 addresses (e.g., new network users join an ISP which
   don't have enough unused IPv4 addresses), they have to use private
   IPv4 addresses on the client side, and IPv4-private-to-public
   translation is required on the carrier side, as is described in Dual-
   stack Lite[I-D.ietf-softwire-dual-stack-lite].  Otherwise the users
   can get public IPv4 addresses, and use them for IPv4 communication.
   In this case, translation shouldn't be involved.  Then the network
   users and operators can avoid all the problems caused by translation,
   such as ALG, NAT traversal, state maintenance, etc.  Note that this
   "public IPv4" situation is actually quite common.  There're nearly
   2^32 network users who are using or can potentially get public IPv4
   addresses.  Most of them will switch to IPv6 sooner or later, and
   will require IPv4 services for a significant period after the
   switching.  This draft focuses on this situation, i.e., to provide
   IPv4 access for users in IPv6 networks, where IPv4 public addresses
   are still available.

3.  Terminology

   4over6 Access: 4over6 Access is the mechanism proposed by this draft.
   Generally, 4over6 Access supports bidirectional communication between
   IPv4 Internet and IPv4 hosts or local networks in IPv6 access
   network, by leveraging IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel and public IPv4 address
   allocation.

   4over6 initiator: in 4over6 Access mechanism, 4over6 initiator is the
   IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel initiator located on the user side of IPv6
   network.  The 4over6 initiator can be either a dual-stack capable
   host or a dual-stack CPE device.  In the former case, the host has
   both IPv4 and IPv6 stack but is provisioned with IPv6 access only.
   In the latter case, the CPE has both IPv6 interface for access to ISP
   network and IPv4 interface for local network connection; hosts in the
   local network can be IPv4-only.

   4over6 concentrator: in 4over6 Access mechanism, 4over6 concentrator
   is the IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel concentrator located in IPv6 ISP network.
   It's a dual-stack router which connects to both the IPv6 network and
   IPv4 Internet.

4.  Deployment scenario

4.1.  Scenario description

   The general scenario of 4over6 Access is shown in Figure 1.  Users in
   an IPv6 network take IPv6 as their native service.  Some users are
   end hosts which face the ISP network directly, while others are local
   networks behind CPEs, such as a home LAN, an enterprise network, etc.
   The ISP network is IPv6-only rather than dual-stack, which means that
   ISP can't provide native IPv4 access to its users; however, it's
   acceptable that one or more routers on the carrier side become dual-
   stack and get connected to IPv4 Internet.  So if network users want
   to connect to IPv4, these dual-stack routers will be their
   "entrances".

   Figure 1 4over6 Access scenario

4.2.  Communication requirements

   Before getting into any technical details, the communication
   requirements should be stated.  The first one is that, 4over6 users
   require IPv4-to-IPv4 communication with the IPv4 Internet.  An IPv4
   access service is needed rather than an IPv6-to-IPv4 translation
   service.  (IPv6-to-IPv4 communication is out of the scope of this
   draft.)

   Second, 4over6 users require public IPv4 addresses rather than
   private addresses.  Public IPv4 address means there's no IPv4 CGN
   along the path, so the acquired IPv4 service is btter.  In
   particular, some hosts may be application servers, public address

   works btter for reasons like straightforward access, direct DNS
   registration, no stateful mapping maintainence on CGN, etc.  We
   assume the IPv4 public addresses are available, which is quite common
   as we covered in section 1.

   Third, translation is not preferred in this scenario.  If this IPv4-
   to-IPv4 communication is achieved by translation, it'll needs double
   translation along the path, one from IPv4 to IPv6 and the other from
   IPv6 back to IPv4.  It's quite complicated.  Contrarily a tunnel can
   achieve the IPv4-over-IPv6 traversing easily.  That's the reason this
   draft follows the hub & spoke softwire model.

5.  4over6 Access Mechanism

5.1.  Address allocation

   4over6 Access can be generally considered as IPv4-over-IPv6 hub &
   spoke tunnel using public IPv4 address.  Each 4over6 initiator will
   use a unique, public IPv4 address for IPv4-over-IPv6 communication.
   This means one IPv4 address for one host in host initiator case and
   one IPv4 address for one local IPv4 network in CPE initiator case.
   In the latter case, the CPE can then operate a local IPv4 NAT to
   share the IPv4 address between hosts in the local network.  Note that
   local NAT is much more controllable and configurable than CGN.  If
   the hosts in the local network need dedicated IPv4 addresses, just
   extend IPv6 across the CPE and make the local network IPv6.  This way
   every host can be a dedicated 4over6 initiator.

   The key problem here is IPv4 address allocation over IPv6 network,
   from ISP device(s) to separated 4over6 initiators.  Native IPv4
   address allocation is done either in a dynamic way through DHCPv4, or
   in a static way through manual configuration. 4over6 Access should
   support both.  DHCPv4 over IPv6 can be achieved through IPv4-in-IPv6
   tunnel between ISP device and 4over6 initiators.  As to manual
   configuration, 4over6 users and the ISP operators should negotiate
   beforehand to authorize the IPv4 address.

   Along with this address allocation, the concentrator needs to
   maintain the address mappings between the IPv4 address and IPv6
   address of 4over6 initiators.  This is required to provide correct
   destination address for encapsulation.  There are several ways to
   achieve this mapping maintaining: DHCPv4-driven updating, traffic
   snooping and manual configuration.  This draft recommends the first
   way for dynamic maintaining and describe it in detail, and then
   compare it with traffic snooping in section 5.4.

5.2.  4over6 initiator behavior

   4over6 initiator has an IPv6 interface connected to the IPv6 ISP
   network, and a tunnel interface to support IPv4-in-IPv6
   encapsulation.  In CPE case, it has at least one IPv4 interface
   connected to IPv4 local network.

   4over6 initiator should learn the 4over6 concentrator's IPv6 address
   beforehand.  For example, if the initiator gets its IPv6 address by
   DHCPv6, it should get the 4over6 concentrator's IPv6 address through
   a DHCPv6 option[I-D.ietf-softwire-ds-lite-tunnel-option].

   Usually, 4over6 initiator gets the public IPv4 address by DHCPv4 on
   an IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel.  A standard DHCPv4 client in the initiator

Internet-Draft                4over6 Access                November 2010


   will run on the tunnel interface to acquire IPv4 address.  All the
   DHCPv4 packets generated by the client will be encapsulated and
   forwarded to the 4over6 concentrator, and all the DHCPv4 replies from
   the concentrator encapsulating in IPv6 will be decapsulated by the
   tunnel interface and handed to the client.  This way the DHCP client
   can get a dynamic public IPv4 address from the concentrator, and
   assign it to the tunnel interface.

   If the address allocation is static, 4over6 user should negotiate
   with the ISP operator beforehand.  The user needs to learn the IPv4
   address provisioned by the operator, and inform the operator the IPv6
   address of the initiator, to install the address mapping on the
   concentrator.

   For IPv4 traffic, 4over6 initiator performs the IPv4-in-IPv6
   encapsulation and decapsulation on the tunnel interface, which has
   its IPv4 address already assigned.  When processing an IPv4 packet
   destinated to the IPv4 Internet(either generated by the initiator
   itself, or received from the local network and translated by local
   NAT44), it performs the encapsulation, using the IPv6 address of the
   4over6 concentrator as the IPv6 destination address, and the IPv6
   address of itself as the IPv6 source address.  The encapsulated
   packet will be forwarded to the IPv6 network.  The decapsulation on
   4over6 initiator is simple.  When receiving an IPv4-in-IPv6 packet,
   the initiator just drops the IPv6 header, and either hands it to
   upper layer, or performs the local NAT44 translation and then
   forwards it to the IPv4 local network.

5.3.  4over6 concentrator behavior

   4over6 concentrator represents the IPv4-IPv6 border router working as
   tunnel endpoint for 4over6 initiators, with its IPv6 interface
   connected to the IPv6 network, IPv4 interface connected to the IPv4
   Internet, and a tunnel interface supporting IPv4-in-IPv6
   encapsulation and decapsulation. 4over6 concentrator maintains an
   IPv4-IPv6 address mapping table for IPv4 data packet encapsulation.

   4over6 concentrator is responsible for DHCPv4 address allocation to
   4over6 initiators.  For static allocation, the concentrator just
   install the IPv4-IPv6 address mapping into the mapping table after
   negotiating with a 4over6 user.  As to dynamic allocation, the
   concentrator should either run a DHCPv4 server on the tunnel
   interface to dynamically allocate public addresses to 4over6
   initiators, or perform the DHCPv4 relay functions and leave the
   actual address allocation job to a dedicated DHCPv4 server.  In both
   cases, when allocating an address, the concentrator should install an
   entry of the allocated IPv4 address and the initiator's IPv6 address
   into the address mapping table.  This entry should be deleted when

   receiving a DHCP release or reaching a lease expiration.  All the
   update should be triggered by the DHCP process(see Figure 2).  Note
   that in the DHCP relay case, the relay should be extended to maintain
   the lifetime of address leases.

   The DHCP packets the concentrator is performed in IPv4-in-IPv6
   tunnel.  The difficulty here is that before DHCP address allocation
   is done, the initiator may not have an IPv4 address, and the
   concentrator doesn't have an IPv4-IPv6 mapping for IPv6 encapsulation
   of corresponding DHCP packets.  So when the concentrator receives a
   DHCP packet, it should store the mapping of IPv6 source address of
   this packet and the MAC address in the DHCP payload temporarily.
   This mapping will be used for encapsulation of outgoing DHCP packets.
   The concentrator should use the MAC address in the payload of an
   outing DHCP packet to match the correct IPv6 encapsulation
   destination address.

   Figure 2 4over6 concentrator: DHCP behavior

   On the IPv6 side, 4over6 concentrator decapsulates IPv4-in-IPv6
   packets coming from 4over6 initiators.  It removes the IPv6 header of
   every IPv4-in-IPv6 packet and forwards it to the IPv4 Internet.  On
   the IPv4 side, the concentrator encapsulates the IPv4 packets
   destined to 4over6 initiators.  When performing the IPv4-in-IPv6
   encapsulation, the concentrator uses its own IPv6 address as the IPv6
   source address.  As to IPv6 destination address, the concentrator
   will look up the IPv4-IPv6 address mapping table, use the IPv4
   destination address of the packet to find the correct IPv6 address.
   After the encapsulation, the concentrator forwards the IPv6 packet on
   its IPv6 interface to reach an initiator.

   The 4over6 concentrator, or its upstream router should advertise the
   IPv4 prefix which contains the addresses of 4over6 initiators on the

   IPv4 side, to make these initiators reachable on IPv4 Internet.

   Since the concentrator has to maintain the IPv4-IPv6 address mapping
   table, the concentrator is stateful in IP level.  Note that this
   table will be much smaller than a CGN table, as there is no port
   information involved.

5.4.  IPv4-IPv6 mapping maintaining methods

   section 5.3 describes the address mapping maintaining with DHCP-
   driven updating, in which DHCP process on the concentrator triggers
   installation and deletion of IPv4-IPv6 address mappings.  Another way
   to maintain the mapping is traffic snooping, i.e., record the address
   mapping when decapsulating IPv4-in-IPv6 data packets coming from
   4over6 initiators.  In this way, the mappings are installed based on
   the actual traffic rather than DHCP.  However, the shortage of this
   method is that extra procedure is required to support inbound access
   well.  This happens when there's no mapping exists on the
   concentrator for an allocated IPv4 address, either because there's no
   outbound traffic from this IP yet or because the earlier-installed
   mapping has expired, while packets from the IPv4 Internet have
   already arrived on the concentrator and tried to reach the
   corresponding IP.  To solve this problem, the 4over6 initiator need
   to send keepalive "pinhole" packets to the concentrator.  A pinhole
   packet can be an arbitrary IPv4 packet which can reach the
   concentrator.  This draft recommends the DHCP-driven updating method
   since it's more accurate and controllable, and requires no extra
   procedure on the initiator.

   If an operator chooses the DHCP-driven updating method, the
   concentrator need manual mapping configuration as well for static
   configured 4over6 initiators.  The traffic snooping method works for
   both static and dynamic 4over6 initiators, though.

6.  Combination with Dual-stack Lite

   The scenario will be common in which an operator do have some unused
   IPv4 addresses, but not enough for every user.  This requires a
   combination of Dual-stack Lite and 4over6 Access to provide IPv4
   access for all the users. 4over6 Access uses public IPv4 address
   while Dual-stack Lite uses private IPv4 address, so ordinary users
   can use Dual-stack Lite to get IPv4 access, and high-priority users
   such as application servers can use 4over6 Access to get btter IPv4
   access. 4over6 Access can easily collaborate with Dual-Stack Lite,
   since the functions of 4over6 initiator are quite close to DS-lite
   B4, and the functions of 4over6 concentrator are quite close to DS-
   lite AFTR.

6.1.  Combination of 4over6 initiator and B4

   The initiator and B4 uses same IPv4-in-IPv6 encapsulation and
   decapsulation method, so they can use one tunnel interface.  The
   initiator/B4 should support DS-lite as basic IPv4 access method, and
   assign IPv4 private address to the tunnel interface.  If it can get
   public IPv4 address(and hence 4over6 Access), then this address
   should be assigned to the tunnel interface as primary address, and
   leave the private IPv4 address as sencondary address.  In this way,
   4over6 Access will be the preferred access method and DS-lite will be
   the basic method.

6.2.  Combination in the DHCPv6 server

   DHCPv6 server need to allocate IPv6 addresses with the option
   containing 4over6 concentrator/AFTR address, to 4over6 initiator/B4.

6.3.  Combination of 4over6 concentrator and AFTR

   4over6 Access and DS-lite can use the same concentrator/AFTR device.
   They can use one tunnel interface for encapsulation and
   decapsulation.  The device will support NAT-related functions only
   for DS-lite, and support DHCP function and IPv4-IPv6 mapping table
   only 4over6 Access.  The concentrator can distinguish between
   outbound packets of Dual-stack Lite and 4over6 Access by the source
   IPv4 address: if it is public, it is a 4over6 Access packet;
   otherwise, it is a Dual-stack Lite packet.  Besides, the concentrator
   can distinguish inbound IPv4 packets based on IPv4 destination
   address, as long as 4over6 Access and Dual-stack lite use different
   public IPv4 address range.

   In practical situation, the concentrator/AFTR should maintain a
   4over6 authority list, which contains the IPv6 addresses of all the
   authorized 4over6 subscribers(initiators).  If a subscriber is on the

   list, it can get a public IPv4 address and the 4over6 Access service.
   Else it has to use private IPv4 address and DS-lite for IPv4
   communication.

7.  Technical advantages

   4over6 Access provides a method for users in IPv6 network to
   communicate with IPv4.  In many scenarios, this can be viewed as an
   alternative to IPv6-IPv4 translation mechanisms which have well-known
   limitations described in [RFC4966] .

   Since a 4over6 initiator uses a public IPv4 address, 4over6 Access
   supports full bidirectional communication between IPv4 Internet and
   hosts/networks in IPv6 access network.  In particular, it supports
   the servers in IPv6 network to provide IPv4 application service
   transparently.

   4over6 Access supports dynamic reuse of a single IPv4 address between
   multiple subscribers based on their dynamic requirement of
   communicating with IPv4 Internet.  A subscriber will request a public
   IPv4 address for a period of time only when it need to communicate
   with IPv4 Internet.  Besides, in the CPE case, one public IPv4
   address will be shared by the local network.  So 4over6 Access can
   improve the reuse rate of IPv4 addresses.

   4over6 Access is suited for network users/ISPs which can still get/
   provide public IPv4 addresses.  Dual-stack lite is suited for network
   users/ISPs which can no longer get/provide public IPv4 addresses.  By
   combining 4over6 Access and Dual-stack lite, the IPv4-over-IPv6 Hub &
   spoke problem can be well solved.
