Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
1. Introduction
Various solutions (e.g., [I-D.ietf-softwire-mesh-multicast],
[I-D.ietf-softwire-dslite-multicast]) have been proposed to allow
access to IPv4 multicast content from hosts attached to IPv6-enabled
domains. Even if these solutions have distinct applicability scopes
(translation vs. encapsulation) and target different use cases, they
all make use of specific IPv6 multicast addresses to embed an IPv4
multicast address. Particularly, the IPv4-embedded IPv6 multicast
address is used as a destination IPv6 address of multicast flows
received from an IPv4-enabled domain and injected by the IPv4-IPv6
Interconnection Function into an IPv6-enabled domain. It is also
used to build an IPv6 multicast state (*, G6) or (S6, G6)
corresponding to their (*, G4) or (S4, G4) IPv4 counter parts by the
IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection Function. [I-D.ietf-mboned-v4v6-mcast-ps]
provides more discussion about issues related to IPv4/IPv6 multicast.
This document specifies an extension to the IPv6 multicast addressing
architecture to be used in the context of IPv4-IPv6 interconnection.
In particular, this document defines an address format for IPv4-
embedded IPv6 multicast addresses. This address format can be used
for IPv4-IPv6 translation or encapsulation schemes.
This document updates [RFC4291]. A new M-bit is defined; if set to
"1", it indicates an IPv4 multicast address is embedded in the low-
order 32 bits of the IPv6 multicast address. Appendix A.1 enumerates
the arguments in favor of defining an address format while
Appendix A.2 discusses why identifying an IPv4-embedded IPv6
multicast address is needed.
This specification can be used in conjunction with other extensions
such as building unicast prefix-based multicast IPv6 address
[RFC3306] or embedding the rendezvous point [RFC3956].
This document is a companion document to [RFC6052] which focuses
exclusively on IPv4-embedded IPv6 unicast addresses.
Details about design choices are documented in Appendix A.
2. Terminology
This document makes use of the following terms:
o IPv4-embedded IPv6 multicast address: denotes a multicast IPv6
address which includes in 32 bits an IPv4 address. Two types of
IPv6 addresses are defined that carry an IPv4 address in the low-
order 32 bits of the address. The format to build such addresses
Boucadair, et al. Expires November 24, 2012 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
is defined in Section 3 for Any Source Multicast (ASM) mode and
Section 4 for Source Specific Multicast (SSM) mode.
o Multicast Prefix64 (or MPREFIX64 for short) refers to an IPv6
multicast prefix to be used to construct IPv4-embedded IPv6
multicast addresses. This prefix is used to build an IPv4-
embedded IPv6 multicast address as defined in Section 8.
Section 8 specifies also how to extract an IPv4 address from an
IPv4-embedded IPv6 multicast address.
o ASM_MPREFIX64: denotes a multicast Prefix64 used in ASM mode. It
follows the format described in Section 3.
o SSM_MPREFIX64: denotes a multicast Prefix64 used in SSM mode. It
follows the format described in Section 4.
o IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection Function: refers to a function which is
enabled in a node interconnecting an IPv4-enabled domain with an
IPv6-enabled one. It can be located in various places of the
multicast network. Particularly, in terms of multicast control
messages, it can be an IGMP/MLD Interworking Function or an IPv4-
IPv6 PIM Interworking Function. An IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection
Function is configured with one or two MPREFIX64s.
3. IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address Format: ASM Mode
To meet the requirements listed in Appendix A.4, the IPv6 multicast
address format defined in [RFC4291] is modified to enclose an IPv4
multicast address. Figure 1 shows the modified address format when
ASM mode is used.
| 8 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 76 | 32 |
+--------+----+----+----+------------------------------+----------+
|11111111|flgs|scop|64IX| sub-group-id |v4 address|
+--------+----+----+----+-----------------------------------------+
+-+-+-+-+
IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection bits (64IX): |M|resvd|
+-+-+-+-+
"resvd" are reserved bits.
Figure 1: IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address Format: ASM Mode
The description of the fields is as follows:
o "flgs" and "scop" fields are defined in [RFC4291].
Boucadair, et al. Expires November 24, 2012 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
o 64IX field (IPv4-IPv6 interconnection bits): The first bit is the
M-bit. When "M-bit" is set to 1, it indicates that a multicast
IPv4 address is embedded in the low-order 32 bits of the multicast
IPv6 address. All the remaining bits are reserved and MUST be set
to 0.
o sub-group-id: This field is configurable according to local
policies (e.g., enable embedded-RP) of the entity managing the
IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection Function. This field MUST follow the
recommendations specified in [RFC3306] if unicast-based prefix is
used or the recommendations specified in [RFC3956] if embedded-RP
is used. The default value is all zeros.
o The low-order 32 bits MUST include an IPv4 multicast address when
the M-bit is set to 1. The enclosed IPv4 multicast address SHOULD
NOT be in 232/8 range.
4. IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address Format: SSM Mode
As mentioned in Appendix A.4, any IPv4-embedded IPv6 address used in
SSM mode MUST be part of ff3x::/32 [RFC4607]. Figure 2 describes the
format of the IPv6 multicast address to be used to enclose an IPv4
multicast address.
| 8 | 4 | 4 | 16 | 4 | 60 | 32 |
+--------+----+----+-----------+----+------------------+----------+
|11111111|0011|scop|00.......00|64IX| sub-group-id |v4 address|
+--------+----+----+-----------+----+------------------+----------+
+-+-+-+-+
IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection bits (64IX): |M|resvd|
+-+-+-+-+
"resvd" are reserved bits.
Figure 2: IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address Format: SSM Mode
The description of the fields is as follows:
o Flags MUST be set to 0011.
o "scop" is defined in [RFC4291].
o 64IX field (IPv4-IPv6 interconnection bits): Same meaning as
Section 3.
o sub-group-id: The default value is all zeros.
o The low-order 32 bits MUST include an IPv4 multicast address when
the M-bit is set to 1. The embedded IPv4 address SHOULD be in the
232/8 range [RFC4607].

Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
5. Textual Representation
The embedded IPv4 address in an IPv6 multicast address is included in
the last 32 bits; therefore dotted decimal notation can be used.
6. Multicast PREFIX64
For the delivery of the IPv4-IPv6 multicast interconnection services,
a dedicated multicast prefix denoted as MPREFIX64 should be
provisioned (e.g., using NETCONF or
[I-D.ietf-softwire-multicast-prefix-option]) to any function
requiring to build an IPv4-embedded IPv6 multicast address based on
an IPv4 multicast address. MPREFIX64 can be of ASM or SSM type.
When both modes are used, two prefixes are required to be
provisioned.
The structure of the MPREFIX64 follows the guidelines specified in
Section 3 for the ASM mode and Section 4 when SSM mode is used.
The length of MPREFIX64 MUST be /96 (as shown in Figure 3).
The format of the MPREFIX64 should follow what is specified in
[RFC3306] and [RFC3956] if corresponding mechanisms are used.
The format specified in Section 3 uses some reserved bits defined
in [RFC3306] and [RFC3956]: the first of the reserved bits now has
a meaning, while the remaining bits MUST be set to 0.

7. Source IPv4 Address in the IPv6 Realm
An IPv4 source is represented in the IPv6 realm with its IPv4-
converted IPv6 address [RFC6052].
8. Address Translation Algorithm
IPv4-embedded IPv6 multicast addresses are composed according to the
following algorithm:
o Concatenate the MPREFIX64 and the 32 bits of the IPv4 address to
obtain a 128-bit address.
The IPv4 multicast addresses are extracted from the IPv4-embedded
IPv6 multicast addresses according to the following algorithm:
o If the multicast address belongs to ff3x:0:8000/33 or ffxx:
8000/17, extract the last 32 bits of the IPv6 multicast address.

10. IANA Considerations
Authors of this document request to reserve:
o ff3x:0:8000/33 SSM block to embed an IPv4 multicast address in the
last 32 bits.
o ffxx:8000/17 ASM block to embed an IPv4 multicast address in the
last 32 bits.
11. Security Considerations
This document defines an address format to embed an IPv4 multicast
address in an IPv6 multicast address. The same security
considerations as those discussed in [RFC6052] are to be taken into
consideration.

Appendix A. Design Choices
A.1. Why an Address Format is Needed for Multicast IPv4-IPv6
Interconnection?
Arguments why an IPv6 address format is needed to embed multicast
IPv4 address are quite similar to those of [RFC6052]. Concretely,
the definition of a multicast address format embedding a multicast
IPv4 address allows:
o Stateless IPv4-IPv6 header translation of multicast flows;
o Stateless IPv4-IPv6 PIM interworking function;
o Stateless IGMP-MLD interworking function (e.g., required for an
IPv4 receiver to access to IPv4 multicast content via an IPv6
network);
o Stateless (local) synthesis of IPv6 address when IPv4 multicast
address are embedded in application payload (e.g., SDP [RFC4566]);
o Except the provisioning of the same MPREFIX64, no coordination is
required between IPv4-IPv6 PIM interworking function, IGMP-MLD
interworking function, IPv4-IPv6 Interconnection Function and any
ALG (Application Level Gateway) in the path;
o Minimal operational constraints on the multicast address
management: IPv6 multicast addresses can be constructed using what
has been deployed for IPv4 delivery mode.
A.2. Why Identifying an IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Multicast Address is
Required?
Reserving an M-bit in the IPv6 multicast address (which is equivalent
to reserving a dedicated multicast block for IPv4-IPv6
interconnection purposes) is a means to guide the address selection
process at the receiver side; in particular it assists the receiver
to select the appropriate IP multicast address while avoiding to
involve an IPv4-IPv6 interconnection function in the path.
Two use cases to illustrate this behavior are provided below:
Boucadair, et al. Expires November 24, 2012 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
1. An ALG is required to help an IPv6 receiver to select the
appropriate IP address when only the IPv4 address is advertised
(e.g., using SDP); otherwise the access to the IPv4 multicast
content can not be offered to the IPv6 receiver. The ALG may be
located downstream the receiver. As such, the ALG does not know
in advance whether the receiver is dual-stack or IPv6-only. The
ALG may be tuned to insert both the original IPv4 address and
corresponding IPv6 multicast address. If the M-bit is not used,
a dual-stack receiver may prefer to use the IPv6 address to
receive the multicast content. This address selection would
require multicast flows to cross an IPv4-IPv6 interconnection
function.
2. In order to avoid involving an ALG in the path, an IPv4-only
source can advertise both its IPv4 address and IPv4-embedded IPv6
multicast address. If the M-bit is not used, a dual-stack
receiver may prefer to use the IPv6 address to receive the
multicast content. This address selection would require
multicast flows to cross an IPv4-IPv6 interconnection function.
Reserving an M-bit in the IPv6 multicast address for IPv4-IPv6
interconnection purposes mitigates the issues discussed in
[I-D.ietf-behave-nat64-learn-analysis] in a multicast context.
A.3. Location of the IPv4 Address
There is no strong argument to allow for flexible options to encode
the IPv4 address inside the multicast IPv6 address. The option
retained by the authors is to encode the multicast IPv4 address in
the low-order 32 bits of the IPv6 address.
This choice is also motivated by the need to be compliant with
[RFC3306] and [RFC3956].
A.4. Location of the M-bit
Figure 6 is a reminder of the IPv6 multicast address format as
defined in [RFC4291]:
Boucadair, et al. Expires November 24, 2012 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
| 8 | 4 | 4 | 112 bits |
+------ -+----+----+---------------------------------------------+
|11111111|flgs|scop| group ID |
+--------+----+----+---------------------------------------------+
+-+-+-+-+
flgs is a set of 4 flags: |0|R|P|T|
+-+-+-+-+
* "T-bit" is defined in [RFC4291];
* "P-bit" is defined in [RFC3306]
* "R-bit" is defined in [RFC3956]
Figure 6: IPv6 Multicast address format as defined in RFC4291
It was tempting to use the remaining flag to indicate whether an IPv6
address embeds an IPv4 address or not. This choice has been
abandoned by the authors for various reasons:
o ff3x::/32 is defined as SSM. Defining a new flag would require
standards and implementations to also treat ffbx::/32 as SSM.
o Prefixes starting with ff7x are defined as embedded-RP, but not
prefixes starting with fffx. Below is provided an excerpt from
[RFC3956]:
" ...the encoding and the protocol mode used when the two high-
order bits in "flgs" are set to 11 ("fff0::/12") is
intentionally unspecified until such time that the highest-
order bit is defined. Without further IETF specification,
implementations SHOULD NOT treat the fff0::/12 range as
Embedded-RP."
as such defining a new flag would require implementations to
also treat ff7x::/12 as embedded-RP prefix.
o This is the last remaining flag and at this stage we are not sure
whether there is other usage scenarios of the flag.
As a conclusion, the remaining flag is not used to indicate an IPv6
multicast address embeds an IPv4 multicast address. However the
following constraints should be met:
(1) Belong to ff3x::/32 and be compatible with unicast-based
prefix [RFC3306] for SSM. Note that [RFC3306] suggests to set
"plen" to 0 and "network-prefix" to 0.
(2) Be compatible with embedded-RP [RFC3956] and unicast-based
prefix [RFC3306] for ASM;
(3) Avoid ff3x::4000:0001-ff3x::7fff:ffff which is reserved for
IANA.
Meeting (1) and (2) with the same location of the M-bit is not
feasible without modifying embedded-RP and unicast-based prefix
specifications; this option is avoided.
As a consequence, two multicast blocks are proposed to be used when
Boucadair, et al. Expires November 24, 2012 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft 64 Multicast Address Format May 2012
embedding IPv4 address: one block for ASM (Section 3 ) and another
one for the SSM (Section 4).
A.5. Encapsulation vs. Translation
IPv4-IPv6 encapsulator and translator may be embedded in the same
device or even implemented with the same software module. In order
to help the function whether an encapsulated IPv6 multicast packets
or translated IPv6 ones are to be transferred. It was tempting to
define an S-bit for that purpose but this choice has been abandoned
in favor of the recommendation to use distinct MPREFIX64 for each
scheme.
As such, there is no need to reserve a bit in the IPv6 multicast
address to separate between the translation and the encapsulation
schemes.
