        A64: DNS Resource Record for IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Address
                   draft-boucadair-behave-dns-a64-02

Abstract

   In the context of IPv4-IPv6 interconnection (or interworking),
   several solutions have been proposed within IETF.  Some of these
   solutions require the definition of a new IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address
   which is used to represent an IPv4-only host in an IPv6 realms and
   the definition of a new mechanism called DNS64 for synthesizing a
   AAAA record, representing an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address in the DNS
   system, from the A record representing the IPv4 address of the IPv4-
   only host .  This IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address, when managed by a
   translator, is to be considered as "fake" address in a DNS system
   since it is not necessarily assigned to any host's interface
   qualified by the associated name.

   This document defines a new DNS record type and query type to
   identify IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address from native IPv6 ones.  The new
   record type and query type aim at helping the requesting party to
   enforce its policies and avoid crossing NAT64 boxes when possible.
   Native addresses are to be preferred.

Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft               A64 DNS Record               September 2010


1.  Introduction

1.1.  Overall Context

   Due to IPv4 address depletion, several solutions have been proposed
   within IETF.  Among those solutions, IPv6 is the only perennial
   solution that should be implemented by service providers.
   Nevertheless, this implementation won't be in one shot and the co-
   existence between IPv4 and IPv6 should be managed for a while.  In
   addition to the co-existence issue, interconnection means to enable
   successful communications between IPv4 and IPv6 realms must be
   enforced.

   In this context, BEHAVE WG is currently specifying translator
   mechanisms which cover both stateful
   [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-stateful] and stateless
   [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate] modes.  The proposed solutions require
   the definition of a new IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address
   [I-D.ietf-behave-address-format] which is used to represent an IPv4-
   only host in an IPv6 realm.  This type of addresses, when managed by
   a translator, is to be considered as "fake" address since it is not
   assigned to any host and can be confusing for the application.  The
   application querying for this address must be aware that the
   application running on the host represented by the IPv4-Embedded IPv6
   address is connected through an IPv4 interface and may be not able to
   use a reference (e.g., [I-D.carpenter-behave-referral-object]) to an
   IPv6 address in the packet payload.

   When an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address is used as destination address,
   the traffic will be handled by a translator device and no direct
   communication would be possible.

1.2.  Contribution of this Draft

   The aforementioned "fake" addresses should not be confused with
   native IPv6 addresses in order to ease the enforcement of means to
   avoid translators whenever possible.  Notifying to the requesting
   host that the resolved address is not a native address but an IPv4-
   Embedded IPv6 address (which is behind a NAT) would ease the local
   policies to prefer direct communications (i.e., avoid using IPv4-
   mapped IPv6 addresses when a native IPv6 address or a native IPv4
   address is available ).

   For the sake of maintaining the reliability of the information
   maintained and sent by DNS and helping a given host to enforce
   policies to prefer native communications, a new record type is
   proposed (A64).  This record type stores only IPv4-Embedded IPv6
   addresses.  A new query type A64 is also defined to request A64

   records or synthesised A64 records.

   This document does not make any assumption about the use of WKP or
   LIR IPv6 prefix to build IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses.  Both schemes
   are supported.

1.3.  Backward Compatibility Issue

   The A64 record proposal suffers from DNS backward compatibility
   issue.  This issue is to be positioned in the following context:

   o  We are still in the early stages of IPv6 deployment and solutions
      to help smooth migration and ease the transition to full IPv6
      should be encouraged;

   o  IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses will be used in various architecture
      configurations and guidelines for the use of these addresses to
      populate DNS servers should be elaborated.  This document is a
      contribution to this effort;

   o  DNS64 proposal as defined in [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] may be used
      for serving dual-stack hosts (e.g., context of multi-homing.  The
      device may be attached to distinct domains managed by distinct
      administrative entities.  Means to ease the merging and the
      consistency of the received information should be implemented, see
      MIF WG problem statement).  DNS servers do not have any means to
      restrict the use of the service based on the requesting
      connectivity capabilities.  Appropriate solutions are to be put at
      disposal of the client;

   o  [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] does not define how to configure static
      records using IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses;

   o  Not all DNS servers are to be upgraded.  Only a subset of DNS
      servers may be updated to support the A64 records.

   o  A procedure for the discovery of these A64-capable DNS servers is
      described in [I-D.boucadair-behave-dns64-discovery].  When
      supported, only the appropriate DNS servers will be invoked.

   o  In some contexts, referral procedure should be aware about the
      type of the remote party (IPv4-only applications running on top of
      an IPv6-only connected device).  This may help avoiding "some"
      ALGs in the path.

2.  Terminology

   This document makes use of the following terms:

   o  Authoritative server: is a DNS server that answers authoritatively
      for a given DNS query.

   o  Stub resolver: denotes a resolver with minimum functionality,
      typically for use in end points that depend on a recursive
      resolver.

   o  Recursive resolver: refers to a DNS server that accepts queries
      from a resolver, and asks another resolver for the answer on
      behalf of the first resolver.

   o  Synthetic resource record (RR): denotes a DNS resource record that
      is not contained in any zone data file, but has been synthesized
      from other RRs.  An example of synthetic RR is a AAAA record
      created from an A record.

   o  DNS64 function: refers to a function that is provisioned with one
      or more IPv6 prefix(es) and is able to convert A64 records into
      AAAA records if there is no AAAA native records and also able to
      synthesize AAAA records from A records and the specific IPv6
      prefix if there is no AAAA native records and no A64 records for
      the requested QNAME.  As explained in appendix B of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] in some specific cases a DNS64 function
      may generate a synthetic AAAA records even if a native AAAA
      records still exists.

   o  DNS_A64 function: A logical function that is provisioned with one
      or more IPv6 prefix(es) and is able to synthesize A64 records from
      A records and the specific prefix if there is no A64 records for
      the requested QNAME.  As explained in appendix B of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] in some specific case a DNS_A64 function
      may generate a synthetic A64 records even if a native A64 records
      (generated by an authoritative server) still exists.

   o  sDNS64 function : A simplified logical function that is able to
      convert A64 records into AAAA records if there is no AAAA native
      records.  Such simplified function does not need to be provisioned
      with a specific IPv6 prefix.

   o  Legacy DNS server : A DNS server that has not been updated to
      manage A64 records and that does not include DNS64 function or
      DNS_A64 function.

3.  Q/A

3.1.  Why a new RRType is Required?

   A new record type to enclose IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses is required
   for the following reasons:

   1.  DNS64 proposal as defined in [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] is tailored
       for IPv6 only hosts.  But it may be confusing for dual-stack
       hosts receiving an A records and a AAAA records for the same
       QNAME.  If a native IPv6 address is enclosed in the DNS response,
       IPv6 communication should be selected.  If the AAAA record
       contains an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address, the dual-stack host
       should prefer direct IPv4 communications to avoid problems that
       could appear due to application layer gateway translation in the
       NAT64.  Without an additional mechanism providing information of
       the nature of the address in the AAAA records or without a
       mechanism to restrict the use of the DNS64 service based on the
       requesting connectivity capabilities, dual-stack hosts won't be
       able to take appropriate decisions.  Using A64 records for IPv4-
       Embedded IPv6 address is a way to distinguish them from native
       IPv6 address using AAAA records;

   2.  [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] points out in appendix A.4 the needs to
       introduce IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address in DNS server that are
       authoritative for a specific QNAME.  The IPv6 prefix used to
       build this IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address has been chosen by the
       administrator of the requested QNAME and is not necessarily known
       by the operator providing the Internet access service to the
       requesting host.  So to solve this problem, a mechanism is needed



Boucadair & Burgey       Expires March 11, 2011                 [Page 7]


Internet-Draft               A64 DNS Record               September 2010


       to exchange information between Internet access provider to
       distinguish an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address from a native IPv6
       address.  Exchanging A64 records for IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address
       instead of AAAA records between DNS recursors and authoritative
       server solves this issue;

   3.  [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] describes in appendix B cases where both
       IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address and native IPv6 can be returned in
       AAAA records and points out that without a specific mechanism to
       distinguish between them the standard process may choose the
       IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address.  Using A64 records for IPv4-Embedded
       IPv6 address solves this issue;

   4.  A dual-stack application receiving an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address
       is not aware that the destination application entity is using an
       IPv4 address.  That application entity may not be able to
       understand any reference in the packet payload to an IPv6
       address.  With the introduction of A64 records, it is possible to
       develop a new API so that updated (i.e., A64-compliant) dual-
       stack applications are able to learn that the IPv6 address comes
       from an A64 records and is an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address.
       Operating systems with this new API may embed a sDN64 function to
       deal with non updated IPv6 applications (i.e., non A64 compliant
       applications).

   It was tempting to define only a new query type to indicated whether
   an enclosed AAAA record does not carry a native IPv6 address, but
   this does not allow configuring static entries in the DNS pointing to
   IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses.

3.2.  Do We Need to Update all DNS Servers to Support this New RRType?

   No.

   A64_DNS servers or A64_DNS64 recursors are fully compatible with
   legacy DNS servers, recursors or stub resolvers because the answer to
   AAAA or to A queries and the recording or caching of AAAA records and
   A records in not modified.  So they can be introduced in the existing
   DNS system without any trouble.

   Owing to the DNS64 discovery mechanism described in
   [I-D.boucadair-behave-dns64-discovery], DNS64 recursors or A64_DNS64
   recursor are able to distinguish A64-capable DNS servers from legacy
   DNS servers.

   A64 resolvers, A64_DNS64 recursors or DNS64 recursors can issue non
   recursive requests to other servers to retrieve the address of an
   authoritative server for the QNAME and then use the A64 and DNS64

   discovery mechanism to check if this authoritative server is an
   A64_DNS server.  If the answer is that there is no A64_DNS server in
   this domain, this means that there is no A64 records for this QNAME,
   if the answer is the address of another A64_DNS server that is also
   authoritative for that domain, the resolver will send this request to
   this new server.  With such a mechanism only one authoritative DNS
   server for this domain including IPv4-Embedded IPv6 must be upgraded
   toward to be A64-capable DNS.  All intermediate DNS servers may be
   legacy DNS servers.

   Only authoritative DNS servers recording an IPv4-Embedded IPv6
   address must be updated to be A64-capable DNS servers but they don't
   need DNS64 or A64DN64 function.  The IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address can
   be provisioned by standard processing.  A DNS_A64 function may just
   be useful to simplify the provisioning process.

   As in the [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64] proposal, only the DNS recursor
   serving IPv6-only host using the NAT64 service needs to be upgraded
   toward DNS64 recursor or A64_DNS64 recursor.

   Other DNS recursor or DNS server can be legacy DNS server.

3.3.  Does the Proposal Need Hosts to be Upgraded All?

   No.

   The DNS64 function is introduced to ensure compatibility with hosts
   or CPEs that are not updated.  In a first step, to use the NAT64
   service, it is not necessary to upgrade existing hosts or existing
   CPEs.  It is sufficient to add a DNS64 recursor without modifying the
   legacy DNS recursor.  During the DNS address provisioning phase
   (e.g., using DHCP or PPP), the Internet access service provider
   provisions the (one or a list of) IP address of a DNS recursor
   according to the connectivity option subscribed by the customer
   (i.e., IPv4 only, dual-stack or IPv6 only).  For IPv4 only or dual-
   stack customers, the legacy DNS recursor or an A64_DNS64 recursor is
   recommended.  For IPv6 only customer a DNS64 recursor is recommended.

   During this first step, dual-stack hosts will never received IPv4-
   Embedded IPv6 address even if they are recorded in an authoritative
   A64 DNS server.  IPv6 only hosts will have access to all NAT64.  Some
   remaining issues of this first step are:

   1.  IPv6 applications running on IPv6 only host are not able to
       recognize that the application running on the other host may be
       IPv4 only and they may experience problem if they exchange
       reference to an IPv6 address.

Internet-Draft               A64 DNS Record               September 2010


   2.  IPv4 only applications running on dual-stack host are not able to
       access to NAT64 service.

   To solve the remaining issues, dual-stack hosts and CPEs must be
   upgraded with sDNS stub resolver and the legacy DNS recursor provided
   by the Internet access provider must be updated to an A64_DNS64
   recursor.  In the meantime, applications that want to distinguish
   IPv4-Embedded IPv6 addresses from native IPv6 ones must be upgraded
   to use a specific API to request A64 records.

   The A64 and DNS64 discovery mechanism
   [I-D.boucadair-behave-dns64-discovery] can be used by dual-stack
   upgraded hosts to modify the pre-configured DNS recursor address with
   a A64_DNS64 recursor address.

   As a result, upgraded hosts will be able to use the A64 and DNS64
   discovery mechanism to modify their configuration if the DNS recursor
   address, provided by the Internet service access provider, is not the
   most appropriate one.

3.4.  What is the Impact on the DNS Server Load?

   The impact on the DNS server load would be low.

   There is no need to store, in DNS system, information about the
   addressing capacity of hosts and the request/answer process remain
   fully stateless.

   The amount of data to be stored in A64_DNS server, A64_DNS64 recursor
   or DNS64 recursor may increase if, for the same QNAME, both A64
   records and AAAA records are present.  But, this situation would be
   scarce.

   Compared to DNS64 proposal [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64], a DNS64 recursor
   or an A64_DNS64 recursor can send three requests instead of two
   generating therefore extra processing in the DNS server, in the DNS64
   recursor and in the A64_DNS64 recursor.  But this extra processing
   can be avoided if a new request asking for AAAA, A64 and A records is
   specified (see [I-D.li-dnsext-ipv4-ipv6]).

3.5.  Are legacy Hosts Impacted?

   No.

   Legacy hosts are not impacted because the AAAA and the A records
   processing is the same in A64_DNS64 recursors and/or in A64_DNS
   servers as in legacy DNS servers.

Internet-Draft               A64 DNS Record               September 2010


   If dual-stack or IPv4 only legacy hosts are provisioned with the
   address of a legacy DNS recursor or of an A64_DNS64 recursor, as
   recommended in this document, they will not be impacted.

   If IPv6 only legacy hosts are provisioned with the address of a
   legacy DNS recursor or of an A64_DNS64 recursor, they will not be
   impacted.

   If IPv6 only legacy hosts are provisioned with the address of a DNS64
   recursor they will benefits from the NAT64 service.

3.6.  Location of Recursors

   Specific DNS64 and A64_DNS64 recursors are introduced in this
   document.

   A DNS64 function must not be implemented in an authoritative server
   (for QNAME this server is authoritative for).

   A DNS_A64 function must not be implemented in an authoritative server
   (for the QNAME this server is authoritative for) except for
   provisioning new A64 records in the DNS server.

   The DNS64 recursor and the A64_DNS64 recursor must be the first DNS
   recursor managed by the operator providing the NAT64 service
   requested by the customer.  The request coming from the stub-resolver
   of the host can pass only through recursors that are managed locally
   like a DNS recursor in a CPE before being intercepted by a DNS64
   recursor or the A64_DNS64 recursor.

   The DNS64 recursor or the A64_DNS64 recursor should not accept
   requests coming from other recursors managed by the operator or from
   recursors managed by another Internet service provider.  This is
   generally achieved by providing the address of the DNS64 recursor or
   A64_DNS64 recursor only to hosts or CPEs managed by customers of the
   Internet service provider.  The address of an A64 DNS server (it may
   be an A64 DNS recursor) or a legacy DNS server may be provided to all
   other DNS servers, recursors or resolvers.

3.7.  How an A64-compliant Host Can Discover an A64-DNS Server?

   By default an host is provisioned by the Internet service provider
   with the address of a recursor.  But an A64-compliant host can change
   this allocation for a most appropriate one thanks to the mechanism
   described in [I-D.boucadair-behave-dns64-discovery].

4.  IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Record: A64

   [I-D.ietf-behave-address-format] discusses issues related to how an
   IPv4 host can be represented in the IPv6 realm.  A new address format
   is proposed.  To store an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address
   [I-D.ietf-behave-address-format], a new record type is defined.

4.1.  A64 Record Type

   The A64 resource record type is a record specific to the Internet
   class that is destined to store a single IPv4-Embedded IPv6 address.

   A type value is to be assigned by IANA.

4.2.  A64 Data Format

   Same data format for as AAAA records [RFC3596].

4.3.  A64 Query

   An A64 query for a specified domain name in the Internet class
   returns all associated A64 resource records in the answer section of
   a response.  As AAAA query type, a type A64 query does not perform
   additional section processing.

4.4.  Textual format of A64 records

   Same as for AAAA records [RFC3596].

4.5.  IP64.INT Domain

   In order to not pollute IP6.INT domain with IPv4-inferred records, a
   new domain SHOULD be defined.

   The same requirements as those of IP6.INT are to be taken into
   account for IP64.INT.

   [Editor note: input on the need of a dedicated domain or use IP6.INT
   would be welcomed.  Authors are in favour of separating both domains
   in order to ease migration to IPv6-only Internet and avoid
   interference which may be induced by transition mechanisms.]

4.6.  Modifications to Existing Query Types

   All existing query types that perform type A and AAAA processing
   SHOULD be updated to perform type A, AAAA and A64 processing.

   Only AAAA records SHOULD be returned when AAAA only type is specified

   in the query.

   But during a transition phase, some hosts with IPv6-only connectivity
   may not be updated to perform A64 queries.  Specific IPv6 DNS
   servers, called DNS64 recursors, may be used to serve those hosts.  A
   DNS64 recursor may return an A64 record as a response to AAAA query
   if no AAAA record is available for the specified resource (A64
   records are converted to AAAA records in the answer).  This behaviour
   advocates for enhancing the chance for a communication to be
   established even through a translator).  DNS64 recursors SHOULD not
   be used by dual-stack hosts which do not support A64 query type.
   When A64 query type is received, only A64 record type MUST be
   returned.

4.7.  On the Need of a New Query type

   In the context of IPv4-IPv6 co-existence, new query type(s) would be
   required to achieve the following goals:

   o  Retrieve both A64 and AAAA records by issuing one single query;

   o  Retrieve both IPv4 and IPv6 records (i.e., A, A64 and AAAA)
      records by issuing one single query;

   A candidate solution is described in [I-D.li-dnsext-ipv4-ipv6].


5.  IANA Considerations

   A record TYPE is to be assigned by IANA.


6.  Security Considerations

   This document does not introduce any security threat to the DNS
   system.


7.  Acknowledgements

   Authors would like to thank Andrew Sullivan for his constructive
   comments.
