IPv6 Transitional Technology IPv4 Prefix

Abstract
DS-Lite [RFC6333] directs IANA to reserve 192.0.0.0/29 for the B4
element. This memo generalizes that reservation to include other
cases where a non-routed IPv4 interface must be numbered in an IPv6
transition solution.

INTERNET DRAFT Transitional IPv4 Prefix December 28, 2013
1 Introduction
DS-Lite [RFC6333] directs IANA to reserve 192.0.0.0/29 for the B4
element. This memo generalizes that IANA reservation to include
other cases where a non-routed IPv4 interface must be numbered in an
IPv6 transition solutions. IANA shall list 192.0.0.0/29 to be
reserved for IPv6 Transitional Technology IPv4 Prefix. The result is
that 192.0.0.0/29 may be used in any system that requires IPv4
addresses for backward compatibility with IPv4 communications, but
does not emit IPv4 packets "on the wire".
2 The Case of 464XLAT
464XLAT [RFC6877] describes an architecture for providing IPv4
communication over an IPv6-only access network. One of the methods
described in [RFC6877] is for the client side translator (CLAT) to be
embedded in the host, such as a smartphone. In this scenario, the
host must have an IPv4 address configured to present to the network
stack and for applications to bind sockets.
3. Choosing 192.0.0.0/29
To avoid conflicts with any other network that may communicate with
the CLAT, a locally unique address must be assigned.
IANA has defined a well-known range, 192.0.0.0/29, in [RFC6333],
which is dedicated for DS-lite. As defined in [RFC6333], this subnet
is only present between the B4 and the AFTR and never emits packets
from this prefix "on the wire". 464XLAT has the same need for a non-
routed IPv4 prefix. It is most prudent and effective to generalize
192.0.0.0/29 for the use of supporting IPv4 interfaces in IPv6
transition technologies rather than reserving a prefix for every
possible solution.
4 Security Considerations
No new security considerations beyond what is described [RFC6333] and
[RFC6877].
5 IANA Considerations
IANA is directed to generalize the reservation of 192.0.0.0/29 from
DS-lite to "IPv6 Transitional Technology IPv4 Prefix".
