Learn NAT64 PREFIX64s using PCP
draft-ietf-pcp-nat64-prefix64-02
Abstract
This document defines a new PCP extension to learn the IPv6
prefix(es) used by a PCP-controlled NAT64 device to build
IPv4-embedded IPv6 addresses. This extension is needed for
successful communications when IPv4 addresses are used in referrals.

1. Introduction
This document defines a new PCP extension [RFC6887] to inform PCP
clients about the Pref64::/n [RFC6052] used by a PCP-controlled NAT64
device [RFC6146]. It does so by defining a new PREFIX64 option.
This extension is required to help establishing communications
between IPv6-only hosts and remote IPv4-only hosts.
Some illustration examples are provided in Section 5. Detailed
experiment results are available at
[I-D.boucadair-pcp-nat64-experiments].
The use of this PCP extension for NAT64 load balancing purposes
([I-D.zhang-behave-nat64-load-balancing]) is out of scope.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
