Re: [BEHAVE] Last Call: <draft-ietf-behave-v4v6-bih-06.txt> (Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host" (BIH)) to Proposed Standard

Hi Dan

inline please,


I believe the objection is against "non-deterministic translation",
rather than stateful versus stateless.  By non-deterministic, I mean
that the subscriber's equipment (e.g., CPE) cannot determine the
mapping it will have on the Internet.  A+P mechanisms are

 Could you help be more elaboration on CPE can't determine the ampping?


deterministic (including 4rd, Dual-IVI, and draft-ymbk-aplus-p).

By the way, I would say you are missing one early draft:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-murakami-softwire-4v6-translation-00
which is align with 4rd  about 4v6 translation which has been contributed by
major operators which is also align with NAT64 deployment.

A stateful CGN, as commonly deployed, is not deterministic.

However -- and this is my point in this email -- a stateful CGN
can be configured and deployed so that it deterministically maps
traffic.  That is, it can function very much like A+P/4rd/Dual-IVI
so that port "N" from subscriber "A" is always mapped to public
port "Z" on IPv4 address "Y".  We could have the CPE know about
that fixed mapping using the same DHCP options that A+P/4rd/
Dual-IVI would use, or use PCP, or use some other protocol.

I would assume softwires follows these same IETF guidelines and
therefore is
now focusing solely on stateless approaches(?). If the IETF opinion has
changed so that also stateful double translation solutions are now ok
for
IETF, then that should perhaps be reflected in this document as well.

Unfortunately, I did not have chance to go to softwires interim, but
please
let us know if the discussions there impact also the quoted
recommendation.

Best regards,

      Teemu

(Dual
Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host" (BIH)) to Proposed Standard

The introduction in the draft says:


  IETF recommends using dual-stack or tunneling based solutions for
   IPv6 transition and specifically recommends against deployments
   utilizing double protocol translation.  Use of BIH together with
a
   NAT64 is NOT RECOMMENDED [RFC6180].



This statement makes a strong obstacle when we develop stateless
solution
with translation in softwires wg.
I think that it is still remained a room to make decision whether
removing
the
statement or remaining it.
The discussion which we'll have in the softwires interim meeting
would be
helpful to decide it.

Best regards,
--satoru

Abstract


  Bump-In-the-Host (BIH) is a host-based IPv4 to IPv6 protocol
  translation mechanism that allows a class of IPv4-only
applications
  that work through NATs to communicate with IPv6-only peers.  The
host
  on which applications are running may be connected to IPv6-only
or
  dual-stack access networks.  BIH hides IPv6 and makes the IPv4-
only
  applications think they are talking with IPv4 peers by local
  synthesis of IPv4 addresses.  This draft obsoletes RFC 2767 and
RFC
  3338.
