464XLAT: Combination of Stateful and Stateless Translation
draft-ietf-v6ops-464xlat-10
Abstract
This document describes an architecture (464XLAT) for providing
limited IPv4 connectivity across an IPv6-only network by combining
existing and well-known stateful protocol translation RFC 6146 in the
core and stateless protocol translation RFC 6145 at the edge. 464XLAT
is a simple and scalable technique to quickly deploy limited IPv4
access service to IPv6-only edge networks without encapsulation.

Internet-Draft 464XLAT February 2013
1. Introduction
With the exhaustion of the unallocated IPv4 address pools, it will be
difficult for many networks to assign IPv4 addresses to end users.
This document describes an IPv4 over IPv6 solution as one of the
techniques for IPv4 service extension and encouragement of IPv6
deployment. 464XLAT is not a one-for-one replacement of full IPv4
functionality. The 464XLAT architecture only supports IPv4 in the
client server model, where the server has a global IPv4 address.
This means it is not fit for IPv4 peer-to-peer communication or
inbound IPv4 connections. 464XLAT builds on IPv6 transport and
includes full any-to-any IPv6 communication.
The 464XLAT architecture described in this document uses IPv4/IPv6
translation standardized in [RFC6145] and [RFC6146]. It does not
require DNS64 [RFC6147] since an IPv4 host may simply send IPv4
packets, including packets to an IPv4 DNS server, which will be
translated on the customer side translator (CLAT) to IPv6 and back to
IPv4 on the provider side translator (PLAT). 464XLAT networks may use
DNS64 [RFC6147] to enable single stateful translation [RFC6146]
instead of 464XLAT double translation where possible. The 464XLAT
architecture encourages the IPv6 transition by making IPv4 services
reachable across IPv6-only networks and providing IPv6 and IPv4
connectivity to single-stack IPv4 or IPv6 servers and peers.
2. Terminology
PLAT: PLAT is Provider side translator(XLAT) that complies with
[RFC6146]. It translates N:1 global IPv6 addresses to global
IPv4 addresses, and vice versa.
CLAT: CLAT is Customer side translator(XLAT) that complies with
[RFC6145]. It algorithmically translates 1:1 private IPv4
addresses to global IPv6 addresses, and vice versa. The CLAT
function is applicable to a router or an end-node such as a
mobile phone. The CLAT should perform IP routing and
forwarding to facilitate packets forwarding through the
stateless translation even if it is an end-node. The CLAT as
a common home router or wireless Third Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) router is expected to perform gateway
functions such as DHCP server and DNS proxy for local
clients. The CLAT uses different IPv6 prefixes for CLAT-side
and PLAT-side IPv4 addresses and therefore does not comply
with the sentence "Both IPv4-translatable IPv6 addresses and
IPv4-converted IPv6 addresses should use the same prefix." in
Section 3.3 of [RFC6052]. The CLAT does not facilitate
Mawatari, et al. Expires August 27, 2013 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft 464XLAT February 2013
communications between a local IPv4-only node and an IPv6-
only node on the Internet.
3. Motivation and Uniqueness of 464XLAT
1. Minimal IPv4 resource requirements, maximum IPv4 efficiency
through statistical multiplexing.
2. No new protocols required, quick deployment.
3. IPv6-only networks are simpler and therefore less expensive to
operate than dual-stack networks.
4. Consistent native IP based monitoring, traffic engineering, and
capacity planning techniques can be applied without the
indirection or obfuscation of a tunnel.
4. Network Architecture
Examples of 464XLAT architectures are shown in the figures in the
following sections.
Wireline Network Architecture can fit in the situations where there
are clients behind the CLAT in the same way regardless of the type of
access service, for example FTTH, DOCSIS, or WiFi.
Wireless 3GPP Network Architecture fits in the situations where a
client terminates the wireless access network and may act as a router
with tethered clients.
4.1. Wireline Network Architecture
The private IPv4 host on this diagram can reach global IPv4 hosts via
translation on both CLAT and PLAT. On the other hand, the IPv6 host
can reach other IPv6 hosts on the Internet directly without
translation. This means that the CPE/CLAT can not only have the
function of a CLAT but also the function of an IPv6 native router for
native IPv6 traffic. The v4p host behind the CLAT on this diagram
has [RFC1918] addresses.

4.2. Wireless 3GPP Network Architecture
The CLAT function on the User Equipment (UE) provides an [RFC1918]
address and IPv4 default route to the local node network stack. The
applications on the UE can use the private IPv4 address for reaching
global IPv4 hosts via translation on both the CLAT and the PLAT. On
the other hand, reaching IPv6 hosts (including host presented via
DNS64 [RFC6147]) does not require the CLAT function on the UE.
Presenting a private IPv4 network for tethering via NAT44 and
stateless translation on the UE is also an application of the CLAT.

5. Applicability
5.1. Wireline Network Applicability
When an Internet Service Provider (ISP) has IPv6 access service and
provides 464XLAT, the ISP can provide outgoing IPv4 service to end
users across an IPv6 access network. The result is that edge network
growth is no longer tightly coupled to the availability of scarce
IPv4 addresses.
If another ISP operates the PLAT, the edge ISP is only required to
deploy an IPv6 access network. All ISPs do not need IPv4 access
networks. They can migrate their access network to a simple and
Mawatari, et al. Expires August 27, 2013 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft 464XLAT February 2013
highly scalable IPv6-only environment.
5.2. Wireless 3GPP Network Applicability
At the time of writing, in February 2013, the vast majority of mobile
networks are compliant to Pre-Release 9 3GPP standards. In Pre-
Release 9 3GPP networks, Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks
must signal and support both IPv4 and IPv6 Packet Data Protocol (PDP)
attachments to access IPv4 and IPv6 network destinations [RFC6459].
Since there are two PDPs required to support two address families,
this is double the number of PDPs required to support the status quo
of one address family, which is IPv4.
For the cases of connecting to an IPv4 literal or IPv4 socket that
require IPv4 connectivity, the CLAT function on the UE provides a
private IPv4 address and IPv4 default route on the host for the
applications to reference and bind to. Connections sourced from the
IPv4 interface are immediately routed to the CLAT function and passed
to the IPv6-only mobile network, destined for the PLAT. In summary,
the UE has the CLAT function that does a stateless translation
[RFC6145], but only when required by an IPv4-only scenario such as
IPv4 literals or IPv4-only sockets. The mobile network has a PLAT
that does stateful translation [RFC6146].
464XLAT works with today's existing systems as much as possible.
464XLAT is compatible with existing network based deep packet
inspection solutions like 3GPP standardized Policy and Charging
Control (PCC) [TS.23203].
6. Implementation Considerations
6.1. IPv6 Address Format
The IPv6 address format in 464XLAT is defined in Section 2.2 of
[RFC6052].
6.2. IPv4/IPv6 Address Translation Chart
This chart offers an explanation about address translation
architecture using a combination of stateful translation at the PLAT
and stateless translation at the CLAT. The client on this chart is
delegated an IPv6 prefix from a prefix delegation mechanism such as
DHCPv6-PD [RFC3633], therefore it has a dedicated IPv6 prefix for
translation.

Case of enabling only stateless XLATE on CLAT
Mawatari, et al. Expires August 27, 2013 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft 464XLAT February 2013
6.3. IPv6 Prefix Handling
There are two relevant IPv6 prefixes that the CLAT must be aware of.
First, CLAT must know its own IPv6 prefixes. The CLAT should acquire
a /64 for the uplink interface, a /64 for all downlink interfaces,
and a dedicated /64 prefix for the purpose of sending and receiving
statelessly translated packets. When a dedicated /64 prefix is not
available for translation from DHCPv6-PD [RFC3633], the CLAT may
perform NAT44 for all IPv4 LAN packets so that all the LAN originated
IPv4 packets appear from a single IPv4 address and are then
statelessly translated to one interface IPv6 address that is claimed
by the CLAT via NDP and defended with DAD.
Second, the CLAT must discover the PLAT-side translation IPv6 prefix
used as a destination of the PLAT. The CLAT will use this prefix as
the destination of all translation packets that require stateful
translation to the IPv4 Internet. It may discover the PLAT-side
translation prefix using [I-D.ietf-behave-nat64-discovery-heuristic].
In the future some other mechanisms, such as a new DHCPv6 option,
will possibly be defined to communicate the PLAT-side translation
prefix.
6.4. DNS Proxy Implementation
The CLAT should implement a DNS proxy as defined in [RFC5625]. The
case of an IPv4-only node behind the CLAT querying an IPv4 DNS server
is undesirable since it requires both stateful and stateless
translation for each DNS lookup. The CLAT should set itself as the
DNS server via DHCP or other means and proxy DNS queries for IPv4 and
IPv6 LAN clients. Using the CLAT enabled home router or UE as a DNS
proxy is a normal consumer gateway function and simplifies the
traffic flow so that only IPv6 native queries are made across the
access network. DNS queries from the client that are not sent to the
DNS proxy on the CLAT must be allowed and are translated and
forwarded just like any other IP traffic.
6.5. CLAT in a Gateway
The CLAT feature can be implemented in a common home router or mobile
phone that has a tethering feature. Routers with a CLAT feature
should also provide common router services such as DHCP of [RFC1918]
addresses, DHCPv6, NDP with RA, and DNS service.
6.6. CLAT to CLAT communications
464XLAT is a hub and spoke architecture focused on enabling IPv4-only
services over IPv6-only networks. ICE [RFC5245] may be used to
Mawatari, et al. Expires August 27, 2013 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft 464XLAT February 2013
support peer-to-peer communication within a 464XLAT network.
7. Deployment Considerations
7.1. Traffic Engineering
Even if the ISP for end users is different from the PLAT provider
(e.g. another ISP), it can implement traffic engineering
independently from the PLAT provider. Detailed reasons are below:
1. The ISP for end users can figure out IPv4 destination address
from translated IPv6 packet header, so it can implement traffic
engineering based on IPv4 destination address (e.g. traffic
monitoring for each IPv4 destination address, packet filtering
for each IPv4 destination address, etc.). The tunneling methods
do not have such an advantage, without any deep packet inspection
for processing the inner IPv4 packet of the tunnel packet.
2. If the ISP for end users can assign an IPv6 prefix greater than
/64 to each subscriber, this 464XLAT architecture can separate
IPv6 prefix for native IPv6 packets and the XLAT prefixes for
IPv4/IPv6 translation packets. Accordingly, it can identify the
type of packets ("native IPv6 packets" and "IPv4/IPv6 translation
packets"), and implement traffic engineering based on the IPv6
prefix.
7.2. Traffic Treatment Scenarios
The below table outlines how different permutations of connectivity
are treated in the 464XLAT architecture.
NOTE: 464XLAT double translation treatment will be stateless when a
dedicated /64 is available for translation on the CLAT. Otherwise,
the CLAT will have both stateful and stateless since it requires
NAT44 from the LAN to a single IPv4 address and then stateless
translation to a single IPv6 address.
