(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?

It can't determine the public IP address and port of a mapping on the 
NAT64 (CGN), and it can't create a mapping on the NAT64 (CGN) -- because
the CGN is going to make a dynamic mapping when it sees a UDP, TCP,
or ICMP packet from the subscriber.

      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.

Sorry.

      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.

      -d
