Perhaps it would help if you could give an example of how the host would use some of the information in the DHCPv4 payload. Would it send IPv4 packets directly on the link? Would it have to use a tunnel? Is the expectation that the tunnel would be configured somehow via DHCPv6? |

I'm ok if its looked at separately as a generic leakage/linkage thing, but it'd be good to look at. (1) I think you need to note any cases where this mechanism could lead to new leakage of the mapping from an old IP address/lease to a new one, when a client moves network. Shouldn't there be some case where the client ought not try renew such a lease, e.g. if the DHCPv6 server is known to be different from the one used to get the DHCPv4 lease? Or is that too hard? --- OLD comments below - The use-case for this isn't very clear to me from the text. But that's ok, I assume its clear to others. - BOOTP could do with a reference. (Is that RFC951?) Saying that BOOTP messages "can also be transported" is pretty ambiguous - do you mean that clients/servers are supposed to support other BOOTP messages or not? - 5.3: I like the MBZ field definition - its succinct and clear. Be good to see that copied in other specs. - Section 8, last para: are you saying here that all clients MUST send a client identifier? I wasn't clear. (I assume there's no point in trying to get this draft to recommend random or more privacy friendly values in that field?:-) - Section 11: I don't get the security implications of this form of tunnelling - has someone looked at whether or not any of the many DHCPv4 options might be problematic when transferred in DHCPv6? If so, that doesn't come across at all from the security considerations. And it could be the case that that's ok, or not. I'm just asking if someone has looked at that. |

I'm guessing you're … [Ballot comment] Just as a high-order bit, is there any reasonable concern that this new functionality would increase the chances of fragmentation? I'm guessing you're nowhere near a place where that's going to be a problem, but TSV guys ask ... 9. Relay Agent Behavior When a DHCPv6 relay agent receives a DHCPv4-query message, it may not recognize this message. The unknown message can be forwarded as described in [I-D.ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-unknown-msg]. I'm slightly confused here. The next paragraph isn't "additionally", is it? Perhaps "If it recognizes the message ..."? Additionally, the DHCPv6 relay agent MAY allow the configuration of a dedicated DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 specific destination address(es), differing from the address(es) of the DHCPv6-only server(s). To implement this function, the relay checks the received DHCPv6 message type and forwards according to the following logic: I have the same question that Brian included in his Discuss: "2. How does the client know to include the 4o6 server address option? Is it triggered by the failure of DHCPv4 to receive configuration data? In other words, what bootstraps the insertion of this option? If it is a failure to receive a DHCPv4 response, shouldn't that be pointed out?" Finally, I'm watching the conversation on Barry's Discuss, and just to chime in - if the authors could add something like Barry's set of if statements covering just enough of a normal request to result in an IPv4 address being allocated, that would have been helpful to me, but I wouldn't encourage you to go as far as anything like lease refreshes, etc. So ... do the right thing :D |

Section 8 starts with: The DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 function MUST be disabled by default. The client MUST obtain the necessary IPv6 configuration (stateless or stateful) before using DHCPv4 over DHCPv6. The client intending to use DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 MUST request the 4o6 Server Address option using Option Request option (ORO) in every Solicit, Request, Renew, Rebind and Information-request message. I have two questions about this text. 1. It seems illogical to say the 4o6 function must be disabled, yet the client must request the 4o6 server address option. That certainly sounds like the functionality is enabled. What is really meant by that first sentence? 2. How does the client know to include the 4o6 server address option? Is it triggered by the failure of DHCPv4 to receive configuration data? In other words, what bootstraps the insertion of this option? If it is a failure to receive a DHCPv4 response, shouldn't that be pointed out? |

I … [Ballot discuss] This DISCUSS is specifically to have a brief discussion -- I do not expect nor want any document changes at this point. I want to make sure I correctly understand the flow that the document is proposing. Here's how I understand the protocol flow from what I read in the document: - If the client can use DHCPv4 directly, it does, and also uses DHCPv6. The protocol described here is not involved. - If the client can not use DHCPv4 directly, it uses DHCPv6. It includes the 4o6 Server Address option in its request. - If the server does not respond with the 4o6 Server Address option, we just have plain DHCPv6, and the protocol described here is not involved any further. - If the server does respond with the 4o6 Server Address option, the client uses the protocol described here, sending a DHCPv4-query and getting a DHCPv4-response. Is this correct? If not, what is the correct flow description? Does it make sense to include something like this in the document (this text, or a correct version)? A flow diagram? Both? Neither? Thanks in advance for taking a short time to sort this out with me. |

Section 9: "When a DHCPv6 relay agent receives a DHCPv4-query message, it may not recognize this message. The unknown message can be forwarded as described in [I-D.ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-unknown-msg]." I'm curious why this behavior of relays is not normatively required. That is, this text seems to leave it up to the relay implementor to decide whether to forward or drop messages with unknown message types, even though forwarding them seems like the preferred behavior. Section 10: s/which the server using/which the server is using/ s/use "flags" field/use the "flags" field/ Section 11: Is there another document you can point to that discusses how a host increases its susceptibility to fingerprinting when it gets configured with both v6 and v4 addresses? Seems like that would be a useful reference here. |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-04-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract IPv4 connectivity is still needed as networks migrate towards IPv6. Users require IPv4 configuration even if the uplink to their service provider supports IPv6 only. This document describes a mechanism for obtaining IPv4 configuration information dynamically in IPv6 networks by carrying DHCPv4 messages over DHCPv6 transport. Two new DHCPv6 messages and two new DHCPv6 options are defined for this purpose. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

06 | Bernie Volz | Write up for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6: (1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why … Write up for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6: (1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header? Standards Track. This is the proper type because this document specifies a means for using DHCPv4 over an IPv6 only transport. The type is indicated in the title page header. (2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary: This document specifies a mechanism for obtaining IPv4 configuration information dynamically in IPv6 networks by carrying DHCPv4 messages over DHCPv6. Working Group Summary: The WG was asked to develop a standard for how IPv4 configuration parameters could be obtained when no native IPv4 communication was necessarily possible (i.e., native DHCPv4 could not be used because there was no IPv4 transport). The WG developed several proposals and preferred this mechanism. The standard encapsulates standard DHCPv4 messages inside DHCPv6 messages to provide for transporting the DHCPv4 client requests to a server that can process the DHCPv4 requests. Please also see draft-ietf-dhc-v4configuration as it provides additional motivation and analysis of alternatives. Document Quality: This document has had thorough reviews by many interested and knowledgeable folks (beyond those mentioned in the acknowledgements section). There were no significant points of difficulty or controversy with the contents of the document, though there has been some controversy as to whether this technology is needed at all as native IPv4 (DHCPv4) could be supported directly over many "IPv6 only" technologies. An implementation has been done - see http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/89/slides/slides-89-dhc-8.pptx. Personnel: Bernie Volz is the document shepherd. Ted Lemon is the responsible AD. (3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by the Document Shepherd. If this version of the document is not ready for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to the IESG. I read the document thoroughly, and submitted quite a few editorial suggestions to the authors, which they implemented. I believe it is ready for publication. (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? No, the document has had a good deal of careful review. (5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS, DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that took place. This is strictly a DHCP document, and has had sufficient review from DHCP experts. (6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. I think the document is good as written, and serves a useful purpose. (7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have already been filed. If not, explain why? Yes, the authors did confirm that they are not aware of any IPR. (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. No. (9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? There is a strong consensus behind this document and in particular from very active WG participants (i.e. "DHCP experts"). (10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is publicly available.) Yes - Ole Troan has concerns that the mechanism described by this draft is not needed for existing tunneling technology as native DHCPv4 is available and would not require any changes to clients, relays, and servers (I have included this here as his objections are on the DHC WG mailing list). I don't believe Ole has a technical objection to the mechanism, other than he does not feel it is needed. The WG consensus is that when native DHCPv4 is available, it should be used. However, when it is not or when the network provider does not want any native IPv4 traffic on parts of their network, the mechanism in this draft will be required and useful. (11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this document. (See http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. The document passes the idnits tool (no nits found). (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. The DHCPv6 messages and options defined by this document follow the recommendations of draft-ietf-dhc-option-guidelines-17, which has been submitted to the RC Editor, and were carefully reviewed by the DHC WG. There are no other formal review requirements. (13) Have all references within this document been identified as either normative or informative? Yes. (14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the plan for their completion? No, all the normative references are to RFCs. (15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure. No. (16) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed in the abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the part of the document where the relationship of this document to the other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the document, explain why the WG considers it unnecessary. No. (17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section, especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document. Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes are associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm that newly created IANA registries include a detailed specification of the initial contents for the registry, that allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC 5226). I reviewed the IANA Considerations section and it is fine and clear; the actions are to define new DHCPv6 messages and options and the appropriate registry is clearly identified to IANA. (18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find useful in selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries. None. (19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document Shepherd to validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc. There are no such parts to the document. |

06 | Bernie Volz | Write up for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6: (1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why … Write up for draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6: (1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header? Standards Track. This is the proper type because this document specifies a means for using DHCPv4 over an IPv6 only transport. The type is indicated in the title page header. (2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary: This document specifies a mechanism for obtaining IPv4 configuration information dynamically in IPv6 networks by carrying DHCPv4 messages over DHCPv6. Working Group Summary: The WG was asked to develop a standard for how IPv4 configuration parameters could be obtained when no native IPv4 communication was necessarily possible (i.e., native DHCPv4 could not be used because there was no IPv4 transport). The WG developed several proposals and preferred this mechanism. The standard encapsulates standard DHCPv4 messages inside DHCPv6 messages to provide for transporting the DHCPv4 client requests to a server that can process the DHCPv4 requests. Please also see draft-ietf-dhc-v4configuration as it provides additional motivation and analysis of alternatives. Document Quality: This document has had thorough reviews by many interested and knowledgeable folks (beyond those mentioned in the acknowledgements section). There were no significant points of difficulty or controversy with the contents of the document, though there has been some controversy as to whether this technology is needed at all as native IPv4 (DHCPv4) could be supported directly over many "IPv6 only" technologies. Personnel: Bernie Volz is the document shepherd. Ted Lemon is the responsible AD. (3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by the Document Shepherd. If this version of the document is not ready for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to the IESG. I read the document thoroughly, and submitted quite a few editorial suggestions to the authors, which they implemented. I believe it is ready for publication. (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? No, the document has had a good deal of careful review. (5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS, DHCP, XML, or internationalization? If so, describe the review that took place. This is strictly a DHCP document, and has had sufficient review from DHCP experts. (6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. I think the document is good as written, and serves a useful purpose. (7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have already been filed. If not, explain why? Yes, the authors did confirm that they are not aware of any IPR. (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. No. (9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? There is a strong consensus behind this document and in particular from very active WG participants (i.e. "DHCP experts"). (10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is publicly available.) Yes - Ole Troan has concerns that the mechanism described by this draft is not needed for existing tunneling technology as native DHCPv4 is available and would not require any changes to clients, relays, and servers (I have included this here as his objections are on the DHC WG mailing list). I don't believe Ole has a technical objection to the mechanism, other than he does not feel it is needed. The WG consensus is that when native DHCPv4 is available, it should be used. However, when it is not or when the network provider does not want any native IPv4 traffic on parts of their network, the mechanism in this draft will be required and useful.
