Abstract

   Due to specific problems, NAT-PT was deprecated by the IETF as a
   mechanism to perform IPv6-IPv4 translation.  Since then, new efforts
   have been undertaken within IETF to standardize alternative
   mechanisms to perform IPv6-IPv4 translation.  This document evaluates
   how the new translation mechanisms avoid the problems that caused the
   IETF to deprecate NAT-PT.

Internet-Draft         Analysis of 64 Translation           October 2010


1.  Introduction

1.1.  Terminology

   This document uses 64 proposal (or 64 for short) to refer to the
   mechanisms defined in the following documents:

   o  NAT64: Network Address and Protocol Translation from IPv6 Clients
      to IPv4 Servers [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-stateful]

   o  DNS64: DNS extensions for Network Address Translation from IPv6
      Clients to IPv4 Servers [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64]

   o  IPv6 Addressing of IPv4/IPv6 Translators
      [I-D.ietf-behave-address-format]

   o  Framework for IPv4/IPv6 Translation
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-framework]

1.2.  Context

   The current 64 proposal is widely seen as the next step in the
   evolution of interconnection techniques enabling communications
   between IPv6-only and IPv4-only networks.  One of the building blocks
   of this proposal is decoupling the DNS functionality from the
   protocol translation itself.

   This approach is pragmatic in the sense that there is no dependency
   on DNS implementation for the successful NAT handling.  As long as
   there is a function (e.g., DNS64 [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] or other
   means) that can construct an IPv6-Embedded IPv4 address with a pre-
   configured IPv6 prefix, an IPv4 address and a suffix (refer to
   [I-D.ietf-behave-address-format]), NAT64 will work just fine.

   To understand the 64 proposal, we must keep in mind that the focus of
   this proposal is on the deployment and not the implementation
   details.  As long as a NAT64 implementation conforms to the expected
   behaviour, as desired in the deployment scenario, the details are not
   very important as mentioned in this excerpt from
   [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-stateful]:

   "A NAT64 MAY perform the steps in a different order, or MAY perform
   different steps, but the externally visible outcome MUST be the same
   as the one described in this document."

1.3.  Scope

   This document provides an analysis of how the proposed set of
   documents that specify stateful IPv6-only to IPv4-only translation
   and replace NAT-PT [RFC2766] address the issues raised in [RFC4966].

   As a reminder, it is worth mentioning the 64 proposal analysis is
   limited in the sense that hosts from IPv6 networks can initiate a
   communication to IPv4 network/Internet, but not vice-versa.  This
   corresponds to Scenario 1 and Scenario 5 described in
   [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-framework].  Hence, the scenario of servers
   moving to IPv6 while clients remaining IPv4 remains unaddressed.

   The 64 proposal, just like any other technology under development,
   has some positives and some drawbacks.  The ups and downs of the
   proposal must be clearly understood while going forward with its
   future development.

   The scope of this document does not include stateless translation.

   [[Discussion Note: Is it in scope of this document to propose some
   recommendations?]]


2.  Analysis of 64 Translation Against Concerns of RFC4966

   Of the set of problems pointed out in [RFC4966], the 64 proposal
   addresses some of them, whereas leaves others unaddressed.  It is
   also worth pointing out that the scope of the 64 proposal is reduced
   when compared to NAT-PT.  Following is a point by point analysis of
   the problems.

2.1.  Problems Not Addressed by 64

   Problems discussed in [RFC4966], which are not addressed by the 64
   proposal:

   1.   Disruption of all protocols that embed IP addresses (and/or
        ports) in packet payloads or apply integrity mechanisms using IP
        addresses (and ports).

           Analysis: In the case of FTP [RFC0959] this problem is
           addressed by the use of a FTP64 ALG [I-D.ietf-behave-ftp64]
           which is a workaround solution.  In the case of SIP
           [RFC3261], no specific issue is induced by 64; the same
           techniques for NAT traversal can be used when a NAT64 is
           involved in the path (e.g., ICE [RFC5245], Hosted NAT
           Traversal [RFC5853], embedded SIP ALGs, etc. ).  The

Internet-Draft         Analysis of 64 Translation           October 2010


           functioning of other protocols is left unaddressed.  Note
           that the traversal of NAT64 by application embedding IP
           address literal is not specific to NAT64 but generic to all
           NAT-based solutions.

   2.   Inability to redirect traffic for protocols that lack de-
        multiplexing capabilities or are not built on top of specific
        transport-layer protocols for transport address translations.

           Analysis: This issue is not specific to 64 but to all NAT-
           based solutions.

   3.   Loss of information due to incompatible semantics between IPv4
        and IPv6 versions of headers and protocols.

           Analysis: This issue is not specific to 64 but due to the
           design of IPv4 and IPv6.

   4.   Need for additional state and/or packet reconstruction in
        dealing with packet fragmentation.  Otherwise, implement no
        support for fragments.

           Analysis: This issue is not specific to 64 but to all NAT-
           based solutions.  [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-stateful]
           specifies how to handle fragmentation; appropriate
           recommendations to avoid fragmentation-related DoS attacks
           are proposed (e.g., limit resources to be dedicated to out of
           order fragments).

   5.   Interaction with SCTP [RFC2960] and multihoming.

           Analysis: SCTP is out of scope of 64.  Only TCP and UDP
           transport protocols are within the scope of 64.

   6.   Need for the NAT64-capable device to act as proxy for
        correspondent node when IPv6 node is mobile, with consequent
        restrictions on mobility.

           Analysis: This is not specific to NAT64 but to all NAT
           flavors.  Refer to [I-D.haddad-mext-nat64-mobility-harmful]
           for an early analysis on mobility complications encountered
           when NAT64 is involved.

   7.   Inability to handle multicast traffic.

           Analysis: This problem is not addressed by the current 64
           specifications.

Internet-Draft         Analysis of 64 Translation           October 2010


   8.   Scalability concerns together with introduction of a single
        point of failure and a security attack nexus.

           Analysis: This is not specific to NAT64 but to all stateful
           NAT flavors.

   9.   Creation of a DoS (Denial of Service) threat relating to
        exhaustion of memory and address/port pool resources on the
        translator.

           Analysis: This specific DoS concern on Page 6 of [RFC4966] is
           under a DNS-ALG heading in that document, and refers to NAT-
           PT's creation of NAT mapping state when a DNS query occurred.
           With the new IPv6-IPv4 translation mechanisms, DNS queries do
           not create any mapping state.  Thus, this concern is fully
           eliminated with the new IPv6-IPv4 translation mechanisms.

   10.  Restricted validity of translated DNS records: a translated
        record may be forwarded to an application that cannot use it.

           Analysis: If a node on the IPv4 side forwards the address of
           the other endpoint to a node which cannot reach the NAT box
           or is not covered under the endpoint-independent constraint
           of NAT, then the new node will not be able to initiate a
           successful session.

           Actually, this is not a limitation of 64 (or even NAT-PT) but
           a deployment context where shared IPv4 addresses managed by
           the NAT64 are not globally reachable.  The same limitation
           can be encountered when referrals (even without any NAT in
           the path) include reachability information with limited
           reachability scope (See
           [I-D.carpenter-behave-referral-object] for more discussion
           about scope-related issues).

   11.  Unless UDP encapsulation is used for IPsec [RFC3948], traffic
        using IPsec AH (Authentication Header), in transport and tunnel
        mode, and IPsec ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload), in
        transport mode, is unable to be carried through NAT-PT without
        terminating the security associations on the NAT-PT, due to
        their usage of cryptographic integrity protection.

           Analysis: This is not specific to NAT64 but to all NAT
           flavours.

   12.  Address selection issues when either the internal or external
        hosts implement both IPv4 and IPv6.




Penno, et al.            Expires April 21, 2011                 [Page 6]

Internet-Draft         Analysis of 64 Translation           October 2010


           Analysis: This is out of scope of 64 since Scenarios 1 and 5
           of [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-framework] assume IPv6-only hosts.

           Therefore this issue is not resolved and mitigation
           techniques outside the 64 need to be used.  These techniques
           may allow to offload NAT64 resources and prefer native
           communications which do not involve address family
           translation.  Avoiding NAT devices in the path is encouraged
           for mobile nodes in order to save power consumption due to
           keepalive messages which are required to maintain NAT states
           ("always-on" services).  An in-depth discussion can be found
           in [I-D.wing-behave-dns64-config].

2.2.  Problems Addressed by 64

   Problems, identified in [RFC4966], which are adequately addressed by
   the 64 proposal:

   1.  Constraints on network topology (as it relates to DNS-ALG; see
       Section 3.1 of [RFC4966]).

          Analysis: This issue has mitigated severity as the DNS is
          separated from the NAT functionality.  Nevertheless, a minimal
          coordination may be required to ensure that the NAT64 to be
          crossed (the one to which the IPv4-Converted IPv6 address
          returned to a requesting host) must be in the path and has
          also sufficient resources to handle received traffic.

   2.  Inappropriate translation of responses to A queries from IPv6
       nodes.

          Analysis: DNS64 does not resolve A queries since 64 assume
          IPv6-only hosts, therefore due to the reduced scope this
          concern is resolved.

   3.  Address selection issues and resource consumption in a DNS-ALG
       with multi-addressed nodes.

          Analysis: Since the DNS-ALG is not there and communications
          initiated from the IPv4 side are not supported, there is no
          need to maintain temporary states in anticipation of
          connections.

   4.  Limitations on DNS security capabilities when using a DNS-ALG.

          Analysis: A DNSSEC validating stub resolver behind a DNS64 in
          server mode is not supported.  Therefore if a host wants to do
          its own DNSSEC validation, and it wants to use a NAT64, the



Penno, et al.            Expires April 21, 2011                 [Page 7]

Internet-Draft         Analysis of 64 Translation           October 2010


          host has to also perform its own DNS64 synthesis.

   5.  Creation of a DoS (Denial of Service) threat relating to
       exhaustion of memory and address/port pool resources on the
       translator.

          Analysis: This specific DoS concern on Page 6 of [RFC4966] is
          under a DNS-ALG heading in that document, and refers to NAT-
          PT's creation of NAT mapping state when a DNS query occurred.
          With the new IPv6-IPv4 translation mechanisms, DNS queries do
          not create any mapping state in the NAT64.  Thus, this concern
          is fully eliminated in 64.

2.3.  Problems Addressed by NAT44 Translation Documents

   Some issues mentioned in RFC4966 were solved by RFC 4787 [RFC4787],
   RFC 5382 [RFC5382] and RFC 5508 [RFC5508].  At the time when NAT-PT
   was published these recommendations were not in place but they are
   orthogonal to the translation algorithm per se, therefore they could
   be implemented with NAT-PT.  On the other hand, NAT64 explicitly
   mentions that these recommendations need to be followed and thus
   should be seen as a complete specification.

   1.  Requirement for applications to use keepalive mechanisms to
       workaround connectivity issues caused by premature timeout for
       session table and BIB entries.

          Analysis: Since NAT64 follows some of the [RFC4787], [RFC5382]
          and [RFC5508] requirements, there is a high lower bound for
          the lifetime of sessions.  In NAT-PT this was unknown and
          applications needed to assume the worst case.  For instance,
          in NAT64, the lifetime for a TCP session is approximately 2
          hours, so not much keep-alive signalling overhead is needed.

          Application clients (e.g., VPN clients) are not aware of the
          timer configured in the NAT device.  For unmanaged services, a
          conservative approach would be adopted by applications which
          issue frequent keepalive messages to be sure that an active
          mapping is still be maintained by any involved NAT64 device
          even if the NAT64 complies with BEHAVE WG specifications.

          Note that keepalive messages may be issued by applications to
          ensure that an active entry is maintained by a firewall, with
          or without a NAT in the path, which is located in the
          boundaries of a local domain.

   2.  Lack of address mapping persistence: Some applications require
       address retention between sessions.  The user traffic will be
       disrupted if a different mapping is used.  The use of the DNS-
       ALG to create address mappings with limited lifetimes means that
       applications must start using the address shortly after the
       mapping is created, as well as keep it alive once they start
       using it.

          Analysis: In the context of 64, the external IPv4 address
          (representing the IPv6 host in the IPv4 network) is assigned
          by the NAT64 machinery and not the DNS64 function.  Address
          persistence can be therefore easily ensured by the NAT64
          function (which complies with most of BEHAVE NAT
          recommendations.).  Address persistence should be guaranteed
          for both dynamic and static bindings.

          In the IPv6 side of the NAT64, the same IPv6 address is used
          to represent an IPv4 host; no issue about address persistence
          is raised in IPv6 network.


3.  Conclusions

   The above analysis of the solutions provided by the 64 proposal shows
   that the majority of the problems that are not directly related to
   the decoupling of NAT and DNS remain unaddressed.  Some of these
   problems are not specific to 64 but are generic to all NAT-based
   solutions.

   This points to several shortcomings of 64 proposal which must be
   addressed if the future network deployments have to move reliably
   towards 64 as a solution to IPv6-IPv4 interconnection.

   Some of the issues, as pointed out in [RFC4966], have possible
   solutions.  However these solutions will require significant updates
   to the 64 proposal, increasing its complexity.

   The following table summarizes the conclusions based on the analysis
   of 64 proposal.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document makes no request of IANA.

   Note to RFC Editor: this section may be removed on publication as an
   RFC.


5.  Security Considerations

   This document does not specify any new protocol or architecture.  It
   only analyses how BEHAVE WG 64 documents mitigate concerns raised in
   [RFC4966] and which ones are still unaddressed.


6.  Acknowledgements

   Many thanks to Marcelo Bagnulo for his comments.
