Abstract

The transition from an all IPv4 network to an all IPv6 network
requires several interim steps, being one of them the evolution of
current IPv4 dependent specifications to a format independent of the
type of IP addressing schema used. Hence, it is hoped that
specifications will be re-designed and re-implemented to become
network address independent, or at least to dually support IPv4 and
IPv6.
To achieve that step, it is necessary to survey and document all IPv4
dependencies experienced by current standards - Full, Draft, and


Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


Proposed - and Experimental RFCs. Hence, this document describes
IPv4 addressing dependencies that deployed IETF Application Area
documented Standards may experience.

1 Introduction

The exhaustive documentation of IPv4 addresses usage in currently
deployed IETF documented standards has now been broken into
seven documents conforming to current IETF main areas, i.e.,
Applications, Internet, Operations and Management, Routing, Sub-IP,
and Transport. A general overview of the documentation, as well as
followed methodology and historical perspective can be found in [1].
This document represents one of the seven blocks, and its scope is
limited to surveying possible IPv4 dependencies in IETF Application
Area documented Standards.


2 Document Organization

The remainder sections are organized as follows. Sections 3, 4, 5, and
6 describe, respectively, the raw analysis of Internet Standards [3]:

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


Full, Draft and Proposed Standards, and Experimental RFCs. For
each section, standards are analysed by their RFC sequential order,
i.e., from RFC 1 to RFC 3200. Also, the comments presented for
each RFC are raw in their nature, i.e., each RFC is simply analysed in
terms of possible IPv4 addressing dependencies. Finally, Section 7
presents a global overview of the data described in the previous
sections, and suggests possible future steps.


3 Full Standards

Internet Full Standards attain the highest level of maturity on the
standards track process. They are commonly referred to as
"Standards", and represent fully technical mature specifications,
widely implemented and used throughout the Internet.

3.16 RFC 959: File Transfer Protocol

Section 4.1.2 (TRANSFER PARAMETER COMMANDS) describes
the port command using the following format:


"A port command would be:
PORT h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2
where h1 is the high order 8 bits of the internet host address."


This is a clear reference to an IPv4 address. In sections 4.2.1 and
4.2.2, on reply codes, the code:


"227 Entering Passive Mode (h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2)"


also needs to be reworked for IPv6 addressing. Also, Section 5.3.2
(FTP COMMAND ARGUMENTS) contains:


"<host-number> ::= <number>,<number>,<number>,<number>
<port-number> ::= <number>,<number><number> ::= any decimal
integer 1 through 255"


This needs to be solved to transition to IPv6.


3.17 RFC 1350: Trivial File Transfer Protocol

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


3.18 RFC 1870: SMTP Service Extension for Message Size
       Declaration

4 Draft Standards

Draft Standards is the nomenclature given to specifications that are on
the penultimate maturity level of the IETF standards track process.
They are considered to be final specifications, which may only
experience changes to solve specific problems found. A specification
is only considered to be a Draft Standard if there are at least two
known independent and interoperable implementations. Hence, Draft
Standards are usually quite mature and widely used.


4.1 RFC 954: NICNAME/WHOIS

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.2 RFC 1184: Telnet Linemode Option

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.3 RFC 1288: The Finger User Information Protocol

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.4 RFC 1305: Network Time Protocol (Version 3) Specification,
     Implementation and Analysis

Section 3.2.1 (Common Variables) provides the following variable
definitions:


"Peer Address (peer.peeraddr, pkt.peeraddr), Peer Port
(peer.peerport,pkt.peerport). These are the 32-bit Internet address and
16-bit port number of the peer.
Host Address (peer.hostaddr, pkt.hostaddr), Host Port (peer.hostport,
pkt.hostport). These are the 32-bit Internet address and 16-bit port
number of the host. They are included among the state variables to
support multi-homing."


Section 3.4.3 (Receive Procedure) defines the following procedure:


"The source and destination Internet addresses and ports in the IP and
UDP headers are matched to the correct peer. If there is no match a
new instantiation of the protocol machine is created and the

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


association mobilized."


Section 3.6 (Access Control Issues) proposes a simple authentication
scheme in the following way:


"If a more comprehensive trust model is required, the design can be
based on an access-control list with each entry consisting of a 32-bit
Internet address, 32-bit mask and three-bit mode. If the logical AND
of the source address (pkt.peeraddr) and the mask in an entry matches
the corresponding address in the entry and the mode (pkt.mode)
matches the mode in the entry, the access is allowed; otherwise an
ICMP error message is returned to the requestor. Through appropriate
choice of mask, it is possible to restrict requests by mode to
individual addresses, a particular subnet or net addresses, or have no
restriction at all. The access-control list would then serve as a filter
controlling which peers could create associations."


Appendix B Section 3 (B.3 Commands) defines the following
command:


"Set Trap Address/Port (6): The command association identifier,
status and data fields are ignored. The address and port number for
subsequent trap messages are taken from the source address and port
of the control message itself. The initial trap counter for trap
response messages is taken from the sequence field of the command.
The response association identifier, status and data fields are not
significant. Implementations should include sanity timeouts which
prevent trap transmissions if the monitoring program does not renew
this information after a lengthy interval."


The address clearly assumes the IPv4 version. Also, there are
numerous places in sample code and in algorithms that use the above
mentioned variables. It seems that there is no reason to modify the
actual protocol. A small number of text changes and an update to
implementations, so they can understand both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses, will suffice to have a NTP version that works on both
network layer protocols.


4.5 RFC 1575: An Echo Function for CLNP (ISO 8473)

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.

4.14 RFC 2348: TFTP Blocksize Option

Section "Blocksize Option Specification" gives the following
example:

"For example:
 +-------+--------+---+--------+---+--------+---+--------+---+
 |   1   | foobar | 0 | octet  | 0 | blksize| 0 |  1428  | 0 |
 +-------+--------+---+--------+---+--------+---+--------+---+
is a Read Request, for the file named "foobar", in octet (binary)
transfer mode, with a block size of 1428 octets (Ethernet MTU, less
the TFTP, UDP and IP header lengths)."


Clearly, the given blocksize example would not work with IPv6
header sizes, but it has no practical implications, since larger
blocksizes are also available.


4.15 RFC 2349: TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.16 RFC 2355: TN3270 Enhancements

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.17 RFC 2396: Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic
       Syntax

Section 3.2.2. (Server-based Naming Authority) states:


"The host is a domain name of a network host, or its IPv4 address as a
set of four decimal digit groups separated by ".". Literal IPv6
addresses are not supported.
...
Note: A suitable representation for including a literal IPv6 address as
the host part of a URL is desired, but has not yet been determined or
implemented in practice."

4.18 RFC 2616: Hypertext Transfer Protocol  HTTP/1.1

Section 3.2.2 (http URL) states:


"The "http" scheme is used to locate network resources via the HTTP
protocol. This section defines the scheme-specific syntax and
semantics for http URLs.
http_URL = "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ abs_path [ "?" query ]]
If the port is empty or not given, port 80 is assumed. The semantics
are that the identified resource is located at the server listening for
TCP connections on that port of that host, and the Request-URI for
the resource is abs_path (section 5.1.2). The use of IP addresses in
URLs SHOULD be avoided whenever possible (see RFC 1900 [24]).
"


The text is version neutral, but it is unclear whether individual
implementations will support IPv6 addresses. In fact, the use of the
":"separator in IPv6 addresses will cause misinterpretation when
parsing URI's. There are other discussions regarding a server
recognizing its own IP addresses, spoofing DNS/IP address
combinations, as well as issues regarding multiple HTTP servers
running on a single IP interface. Again, the text is version neutral,
but clearly, such statements represent implementation issues.


4.19 RFC 3191: Minimal GSTN address format in Internet Mail

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


4.20 3192:Minimal FAX address format in Internet Mail

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


5 Proposed Standards

Proposed Standards represent initial level documents in the IETF
standards track. They are stable in terms of design, but do not require
the existence of implementations. In several cases, these
specifications are simply proposed as solid technical ideas, to be
analysed by the Internet community, but are never implemented or
advanced in the IETF standards process.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


5.11 RFC 946: Telnet terminal location number option

Section "TTYLOC Number" states:


"The TTYLOC number is a 64-bit number composed of two (2)
32-bit numbers: The 32-bit official ARPA Internet host address (may
be any one of the addresses for multi-homed hosts) and a 32-bit
number representing the terminal on the specified host. The host
address of [0.0.0.0] is defined to be "unknown", the terminal number
of FFFFFFFF (hex, r or-1 in decimal) is defined to be "unknown" and
the terminal number of FFFFFFFE (hex, or -2 in decimal) is defined
to be "detached" for processes that are not attached to a terminal."


The clear reference to 32-bit numbers, and to the use of literal
addresses in the form [0.0.0.0] is clearly an IPv4-dependency. Thus,
the text above needs to be re-written.

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


5.32 RFC 1738: Uniform Resource Locators (URL)

Section 3.1. (Common Internet Scheme Syntax) states:


"host
The fully qualified domain name of a network host, or its IP address
as a set of four decimal digit groups separated by ".". Fully qualified
domain names take the form as described in Section 3.5 of RFC 1034
[13] and Section 2.1 of RFC 1123 [5]: a sequence of domain labels
separated by ".", each domain label starting and ending with an
alphanumerical character and possibly also containing "-" characters.
The rightmost domain label will never start with a digit, though,
which syntactically distinguishes all domain names from the IP
addresses."


Clearly, this is only valid when using IPv4 addresses. Later in Section
5. (BNF for specific URL schemes), there is the following text:


Nesser II, Sofia            Expires February 2004              [Page 14]


Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


"; URL schemeparts for ip based protocols:
ip-schemepart = "//" login [ "/" urlpath ]
login = [ user [ ":" password ] "@" ] hostport
hostport = host [ ":" port ]
host = hostname | hostnumber"

Again, this has also implications in terms of IP-version neutrality.

5.34 RFC 1767: MIME Encapsulation of EDI Objects

5.36 RFC 1835: Architecture of the WHOIS++ service

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.


5.37 RFC 1913: Architecture of the Whois++ Index Service

Section 6.5. (Query referral) makes the following statement:

"When referrals are included in the body of a response to a query,
each referral is listed in a separate SERVER-TO-ASK block as shown
below.
# SERVER-TO-ASK
Version-number: // version number of index software, used to insure
compatibility
Body-of-Query: // the original query goes here
Server-Handle: // WHOIS++ handle of the referred server
Host-Name: // DNS name or IP address of the referred server

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


Port-Number: // Port number to which to connect, if different from
the
// WHOIS++ port number"


The syntax used does not present specific IPv4 dependencies, but
implementations should be modified to check, in incoming packets,
which IP version was used by the original request, so they can
determine whether or not to to return an IPv6 address.


5.38 RFC 1914: How to Interact with a Whois++ Mesh

Section 4 (Caching) states the following:


"A client can cache all information it gets from a server for some
time. For example records, IP-addresses of Whois++ servers, the
Directory of Services server etc.
A client can itself choose for how long it should cache the
information. The IP-address of the Directory of Services server might
not change for a day or two, and neither might any other information."


Also, subsection 4.1. (Caching a Whois++ servers hostname)
contains:


"An example of cached information that might change is the cached
hostname, IP-address and portnumber which a client gets back in a
servers-to-ask response. That information is cached in the server
since the last poll, which might occurred several weeks ago.
Therefore, when such a connection fails, the client should fall back to
use the serverhandle instead, which means that it contacts the
Directory of Services server and queries for a server with that
serverhandle. By doing this, the client should always get the last
known hostname. An algorithm for this might be:
response := servers-to-ask response from server A
IP-address := find ip-address for response.hostname in DNS
connect to ip-address at port response.portnumber
    if connection fails {
      connect to Directory of Services server
      query for host with serverhandle response.serverhandle
      response := response from Directory of Services server

      if connection fails {
        exit with error message
      }
     }
    Query this new server"


The paragraph does not contain IPv4 specific syntax. Hence, IPv6
compliance will be implementation dependent.

5.48 RFC 2122: VEMMI URL Specification

Section 3 (Description of the VEMMI scheme) states:


"The VEMMI URL scheme is used to designate multimedia
interactive services conforming to the VEMMI standard (ITU/T
T.107 and ETS 300 709).
A VEMMI URL takes the form:
vemmi://<host>:<port>/<vemmiservice>;
<attribute>=<value>
as specified in Section 3.1. of RFC 1738. If :<port> is omitted, the
port defaults to 575 (client software may choose to ignore the
optional port number in order to increase security). The
<vemmiservice> part is optional and may be omitted."


IPv4 dependencies may relate to the possibility of the <host> portion
to contain an IPv4 address, as defined in RFC 1738 (see section 5.31.
above). Once the problem is solved in the context of RFC 1738, this
issue will be automatically solved.

5.58 RFC 2165: Service Location Protocol

Section 7. (Service Type Request Message Format) and Section 9.
(Service Registration Message Format) have an 80-bit field from
addr-spec (see below) which cannot support IPv6 addresses.
Also, Section 20.1. (Previous Responders' Address Specification)
states:



Nesser II, Sofia             Expires February 2004             [Page 19]


Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


"The previous responders' Address Specification is specified as:
<Previous Responders' Address Specification> ::= <addr-spec>
|<addr-spec>, <Previous Responders' Address Specification> i.e., a
list separated by commas with no intervening white space. The
Address Specification is the address of the Directory Agent or
Service Agent which supplied the previous response. The format for
Address Specifications in Service Location is defined in section 20.4.
The comma delimiter is required between each <addr-spec>. The use
of dotted decimal IP address notation should only be used in
environments which have no Domain Name Service.
Example:
RESOLVO.NEATO.ORG,128.127.203.63"


Later, in Section 20.4. (Address Specification in Service Location)
there is also the following reference to addr-spec:


"The address specification used in Service Location is:
<addr-spec> ::= [<user>:<password>@]<host>[:<port>]
<host> ::= Fully qualified domain name | dotted decimal IP address
notation
When no Domain Name Server is available, SAs and DAs must use
dotted decimal conventions for IP addresses. Otherwise, it is
preferable to use a fully qualified domain name wherever possible as
renumbering of host addresses will make IP addresses invalid over
time."


The whole Section 21. (Protocol Requirements) defines the
requirements for each of the elements of this protocol. Several IPv4
statements are made, but the syntax used is sufficiently neutral to
apply to the use of IPv6.
Section 22. (Configurable Parameters and Default Values) states:


"There are several configuration parameters for Service Location.
Default values are chosen to allow protocol operation without the
need for selection of these configuration parameters, but other values
may be selected by the site administrator. The configurable
parameters will allow an implementation of Service Location to be
more useful in a variety of scenarios.
Multicast vs. Broadcast


Nesser II, Sofia            Expires February 2004              [Page 20]


Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


All Service Location entities must use multicast by default. The
ability to use broadcast messages must be configurable for UAs and
SAs. Broadcast messages are to be used in environments where not
all Service Location entities have hardware or software which
supports multicast.
Multicast Radius
Multicast requests should be sent to all subnets in a site. The default
multicast radius for a site is 32. This value must be configurable. The
value for the site's multicast TTL may be obtained from DHCP using
an option which is currently unassigned."
Once again, nothing here precludes IPv6. Section 23.
(Non-configurable Parameters) states:
"IP Port number for unicast requests to Directory Agents:
UDP and TCP Port Number: 427
Multicast Addresses
Service Location General Multicast Address: 224.0.1.22
Directory Agent Discovery Multicast Address: 224.0.1.35
A range of 1024 contiguous multicast addresses for use as Service
Specific Discovery Multicast Addresses will be assigned by IANA."


Clearly, the statements above require specifications related to the use
of IPv6 multicast addresses with equivalent functionality.

generally be a small opaque byte string which SCSP will associate
with a given piece of data in a cache. Thus, for example, an originator
might assign a particular 4 byte string to the binding of an IP address
with that of an ATM address. Generally speaking, the originating
server of a CSA record is responsible for generating a Cache Key for
every element of data that the given server originates and which the
server wishes to synchronize with its peers in the SG."

The statement above is simply meant as an example. Hence, any IPv4
possible dependency of this protocol is an implementation issue.

5.86 2371: Transaction Internet Protocol Version 3.0

where <host> is either a <dns name> or an <ip address>; and <port>
is a decimal number specifying the port at which the transaction
manager (or proxy) is listening for requests to establish TIP
connections. If the port number is omitted, the standard TIP port
number (3372) is used.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


A <dns name> is a standard name, acceptable to the domain name
service. It must be sufficiently qualified to be useful to the receiver
of the command.
An <ip address> is an IP address, in the usual form: four decimal
numbers separated by period characters."
This section has to be re-written to become IP-version neutral.
Besides adding a reference to the use of IPv6 addresses, the "host"
field should only be defined as a "dns name". However, if the use of
literal IP addresses is to be included, the format specified in RFC
2372 has to be followed.
Later in section 8. (TIP Uniform Resource Locators):


"A TIP URL takes the form:
tip://<transaction manager address>?<transaction string>
where <transaction manager address> identifies the TIP transaction
manager (as defined in Section 7 above); and <transaction string>
specifies a transaction identifier, which may take one of two forms
(standard or non-standard):
i. "urn:" <NID> ":" <NSS>
A standard transaction identifier, conforming to the proposed Internet
Standard for Uniform Resource Names (URNs), as specified by
RFC2141; where <NID> is the Namespace Identifier, and <NSS> is
the Namespace Specific String. The Namespace ID determines the
syntactic interpretation of the Namespace Specific String. The
Namespace Specific String is a sequence of characters representing a
transaction identifier (as defined by <NID>). The rules for the
contents of these fields are specified by [6] (valid characters,
encoding, etc.).
This format of <transaction string> may be used to express global
transaction identifiers in terms of standard representations. Examples
for <NID> might be <iso> or <xopen>. e.g.
tip://123.123.123.123/?urn:xopen:xid
Note that Namespace Ids require registration. See [7] for details on
how to do this."


There are other references in section 8. to the use of literal IP
addresses in section 8. Therefore, this section needs also to be
re-written, and special care should be taken to avoid the use of IP
(either IPv4 or IPv6) literal addresses. However, if such use is
exemplified, the format specified in RFC 2732 has to be respected.

some or all of the elements, except "pop://" and <host>, may be
omitted."


RFC 1738 (please refer to section 5.31) has a potential IPv4
limitation. Hence, RFC 2384 will only be IPv6 compliant when RFC
1738 becomes properly updated.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


Description: The UID itself MUST be a globally unique identifier.
The generator of the identifier MUST guarantee that the identifier is
unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish
this. The identifier is RECOMMENDED to be the identical syntax to
the [RFC 822] addr-spec. A good method to assure uniqueness is to
put the domain name or a domain literal IP address of the host on
which the identifier was created on the right hand side of the "@",
and on the left hand side, put a combination of the current calendar
date and time of day (i.e., formatted in as a DATE-TIME value) along
with some other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier
available on the system (for example, a process id number). Using a
date/time value on the left hand side and a domain name or domain
literal on the right hand side makes it possible to guarantee
uniqueness since no two hosts should be using the same domain name
or IP address at the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it
is RECOMMENDED that the right hand side contain some domain
identifier (either of the host itself or otherwise) such that the
generator of the message identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of
the left hand side within the scope of that domain."

Although the above does not explicitly state the use of IPv4
addresses, it addresses the explicit use of RFC 822 (obsoleted by RFC
2822). To become IPv6 compliant it should follow the guidelines for
RFC 2822 (see section 5.129).

5.129 RFC 2822: Internet Message Format

Section 3.4.1 (Addr-spec specification) contains:

"The domain portion identifies the point to which the mail is
delivered. In the dot-atom form, this is interpreted as an Internet
domain name (either a host name or a mail exchanger name) as
described in [STD3, STD13, STD14]. In the domain-literal form, the
domain is interpreted as the literal Internet address of the particular
host. In both cases, how addressing is used and how messages are
transported to a particular host is covered in the mail transport
document [RFC2821]. These mechanisms are outside of the scope of
this document.
The local-part portion is a domain dependent string. In addresses, it is
simply interpreted on the particular host as a name of a particular
mailbox."

Literal IP addresses should be avoided. However, in case they are
used, there should be a reference to the format described in RFC
2732.

6 Experimental RFCs

Experimental RFCs belong to the category of "non-standard"
specifications. This group involves specifications considered
"off-track", e.g., specifications that haven't yet reach an adequate
standardization level, or that have been superseded by more recent
specifications.
Experimental RFCs represent specifications that are currently part of
some research effort, and that are often propriety in nature, or used in
limited arenas. They are documented to the Internet community in
order to allow potential interoperability or some other potential useful
scenario. In a few cases, they are presented as alternatives to the
mainstream solution of an acknowledged problem.


6.1 RFC 887: Resource Location Protocol

Section 3.1 (Request Messages) contains:

"<Who-Anywhere-Provides?> This message parallels the
<Who-Provides?> message with the "third-party" variant described
above. The confirming host is required to return at least its own IP
address (if it provides the named resource) as well as the IP addresses
of any other hosts it believes may provide the named resource. The
confirming host though, may never return an IP address for a resource
which is the same as an IP address listed with the resource name in
the request message. In this case it must treat the resource as if it
was unsupported at that IP address and omit it from any reply list.
<Does-Anyone-Provide?> This message parallels the
<Do-You-Provide?> message again with the "third-party" variant
described above. As before, the confirming host is required to return
its own IP address as well as the IP addresses of any other hosts it
believes may provide the named resource and is prohibited from
returning the same IP address in the reply resource specifier as was
listed in the request resource specifier. As in the <Do-You-Provide?>
case and for the same reason, this message also may not be
broadcast."
Throughout this section, there are several other references to IP
address. To avoid ambiguity, a reference to IPv6 addressing should be
added.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


Section 4.1. (Resource Lists) presents the following qualifier format:


"In addition, resource specifiers in all <Who-Anywhere-Provides?>,
<Does-Anyone-Provide?> and <They-Provide> messages also
contain an additional qualifier following the <Protocol-ID>. This
qualifier has the format
+--------+--------+--------+---\\---+
|        |        |                 |
|Protocol|IDLength|   Resource-ID   |
|        |        |                 |
+--------+--------+--------+---\\---+
where
<IPLength> is the number of IP addresses containing in the following
<IP-Address-List> (the <IP-Address-List> field thus occupies the last
4*<IPLength> octets in its resource specifier). In request messages,
this is the maximum number of qualifying addresses which may be
included in the corresponding reply resource specifier. Although not
particularly useful, it may be 0 and in that case provides no space for
qualifying the resource name with IP addresses in the returned
specifier. In reply messages, this is the number of qualifying
addresses known to provide the resource. It may not exceed the
number specified in the corresponding request specifier. This field
may not be 0 in a reply message unless it was supplied as 0 in the
request message and the confirming host would have returned one or
more IP addresses had any space been provided.
<IP-Address-List> is a list of four-octet IP addresses used to qualify
the resource specifier with respect to those particular addresses. In
reply messages, these are the IP addresses of the confirming host
(when appropriate) and the addresses of any other hosts known to
provide that resource (subject to the list length limitations). In
request messages, these are the IP addresses of hosts for which resource
information may not be returned. In such messages, these addresses
should normally be initialized to some "harmless" value (such as the
address of the querying host) unless it is intended to specifically
exclude the supplied addresses from consideration in any reply
messages."
This section requires re-writting considering the 128-bit length of
IPv6 addresses, and will clearly impact on implementations.

Free
It is not used by the protocol.
IP address
It sets the node address in the global IPv4 network."


This section needs to be re-written, so that the specification becomes
IPv6 compliant.


6.56 RFC 3082: Notification and Subscription for SLP

This protocol is both IPv4 and IPv6 aware, and thus, it requires no
changes.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


6.57 RFC 3088: OpenLDAP Root Service An experimental LDAP
        referral service

Section 5. (Using the Service) states:

"The service supports LDAPv3 and LDAPv2+ [LDAPv2+] clients
over
TCP/IPv4. Future incarnations of this service may support TCP/IPv6
or other transport/internet protocols."


7 Summary of Results

This survey contemplates 244 RFCs, having 31 (12.7%) been
identified as having some form of IPv4 dependency. Results are
broken down as follows:

Standards: 1 out of 20, or 5%
Draft Standards: 4 out of 20, or 20%
Proposed Standards: 18 out of 155, or 11.61%
Experimental RFCs: 8 out of 49, or 16.32%

Of the 31 identified, the majority simply require minor actions, such
as adding a caveat to IPv6 addressing that would avoid ambiguity, or
re-writing a section to avoid IP-version dependent syntax. The
remaining instances are documented below.
The authors have attempted to organize the results in a format that
allows easy reference to other protocol designers.


7.1 Full Standards

7.1.1 RFC 959: STD 9 File Transfer Protocol

Problems have already been fixed in [6].


7.2 Draft Standards

7.2.1 RFC 1305: Network Time Protocol (version 3): Specification,
        Implementation and Analysis

As documented in Section 4.4. above, there are too many specific
references to the use of 32-bit IPv4 addresses. An updated

specification to support NTP over IPv6 packets is needed. However,
there has been some work related with this issue, as an already
expired Internet-Draft (draft-boudreault-ipv6-ntp-refid-00), allegedly
documents. Also, there is at least one IPv6 NTP implementation.


7.2.2 RFC 2396: URI Syntax

URI's allow the literal use of IPv4 addresses but have no specific
recommendations on how to represent literal IPv6 addresses. This
problem has already been addressed in [4].


7.2.3 RFC 2616: Hypertext Transfer Protocol  HTTP/1.1

HTTP allows the literal use of IPv4 addresses, but has no specific
recommendations on how to represent literal IPv6 addresses. This
problem has already been addressed in [4].


7.3 Proposed Standards

7.3.1 RFC 946: Telnet Terminal LOC

There is a dependency in the definition of the TTYLOC Number
which would require an updated version of the protocol. However,
since this functionality is of marginal value today, an updated version
might not make sense.


7.3.2 RFC 1738: URLs

URL's IPv4 dependencies have already been addressed in [4].


7.3.3 RFC 2165: Service Location Protocol

The problems of this specification have already been addressed in [5].


7.3.4 RFC 2384: POP URL Scheme

POP URL IPv4 dependencies have already been addressed in [4].


7.3.5 RFC 2608: Service Location Protocol version 2

The problems of this specification have already been addressed in [5].

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-apps-02.txt  September 2003


7.3.6 RFC 3017: XML DTP For Roaming Access Phone Books

Extensions should be defined to support IPv6 addresses.

7.4 Experimental RFCs

7.4.1 RFC 1235:The Coherent File Distribution Protocol

This protocol relies on IPv4 and therefore, there is no need for a new
standard.

7.4.2 RFC 1459: Internet Relay Chat Protocol

This specification only requires a text update, to become IPv6
compliant.

7.4.3 RFC 1986: Simple File Transfer Using Enhanced TFTP

This specification only requires a text update, to become IPv6
compliant.

7.4.4 RFC 2090: TFTP Multicast Option

This protocol relies on IPv4 IGMP Multicast.To become IPv6
compliant, a new version should be produced.

7.4.5 RFC 2307: Using LDAP as a NIS

This document tries to provide IPv6 support but it relies on an
outdated format for IPv6 addresses. Thus, there is the need for an
IPv6 compliant version.

9 Security Considerations

This document provides an exhaustive documentation of current
IETF documented standards IPv4 address dependencies. Such
process does not have security implications in itself.
