Internet-Draft Extended ICMP to support dIVI Oct 2011
1. Introduction
This section explains the reasoning for ICMP extension to support
Dual-Stateless Ipv4/Ipv6 Translation(dIVI).
1.1. Motivation
Dual-Stateless Ipv4/Ipv6 Translation(dIVI) proposal to share Ipv4 ports
with multiple Ipv6 hosts which shown in the following figure.
---------------------------------
-----|IPv4-translatable.0#port-range.0 |
/ ---------------------------------
/ ---------------------------------
|--------|IPv4-translatable.1#port-range.1 |
| ---------------------------------
-------------------- | ---------------------------------
| IPv4-addr#any ports|-----------|IPv4-translatable.2#port-range.2 |
-------------------- | ---------------------------------
| ---------------------------------
|--------|IPv4-translatable.3#port-range.3 |
| ---------------------------------
\ ...
\ ---------------------------------
-----|IPv4-translatable.K#port-range.K |
---------------------------------
...
When an Ipv4 ICMP packet send to the translator, it need an identifier
to mapping to the Ipv6 hosts.
2. Definition & implementation
2.1 ICMP Identifier modification on CPE/Host
.-------|Host0| A1/(P%N)+0
/
------ ----- |
/ The \ ------ / An \ |
| IPv4 |--|1:N |---| IPv6 |------------|Host1| A1/(P%N)+1
\Internet/ |XLATE | \Network/ |
------ ------ ----- |
|\
| -------|Host2| A1/(P%N)+2
|
|
\
-------|HostK| A1/(P%N)+K
CPE/Host MUST only use the value in Port-Range as Identifier field. If
a CPE between Host and Xlate, CPE need dynamic allocate the Identifier

Internet-Draft Extended ICMP to support dIVI Oct 2011
in the Port-Range , and the CPE also request use stateful translation
table to maintain the Identifier mapping.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Data ...

2.2 ICMP Identifier proccess on 1:N Translator
1:N Translator Device need use this identifier mapping to the Port-Set-id
and distribute the ICMP message.
If an Host/CPE send ICMP message with wrong identifier the drop the
message and init a new type of ICMPv6 dIVI Error Port-Range
Correction Message which defined in draft <dIVI Port error handling
and range allocation[2].
2.3 Detailed flow example
+-+ IPv4 +---+ IPv6 Transit Core +--+ IPv4 +-+
|S|-->--//-->--|CPE|=====>=====/R2/=====>=====|R3|-->--//-->--|D|
+-+ +---+ +--+ +-+
IVI 1:1 xlate 1:N IVI xlate
--------------->
ICMP Echo
Identifier = 1234
* CPE get-ID in Port-range, allocate *
* Mapping Table, eg: 1234<--->129 *
------------------------------>
ICMP Echo
Identifier = 129
------------------>
ICMP Echo
Identifier = 129
<------------------
ICMP Echo Reply
Identifier = 129
* IVI Xlate does ICMP Identifier *
* Based Forward *
<------------------------------
ICMP Echo Reply
Identifier = 129
<--------------- * CPE Check Mapping table modify to 1234 *
ICMP Echo Reply
Identifier = 1234

Internet-Draft Extended ICMP to support dIVI Oct 2011
If multiple hosts behind CPE execution Ping in the same time , CPE
MUST use different Identifier mapping to different ICMP instance.
3. Security Considerations
It's same as general ICMPv6 security considerations, See RFC4443
Section 5.
4. IANA Considerations
This memo adds no new IANA considerations.
