Title : Dual Stack Hosts Using "Bump-in-the-Host" (BIH)
Author(s) : B. Huang, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-behave-v4v6-bih-01.txt
Pages : 24
Date : 2010-10-19
This document describes the "Bump-In-the-Host" (BIH), a host based
IPv4 to IPv6 protocol translation mechanism that allows a subset of
applications supporting only IPv4 to communicate with peers that are
reachable only with IPv6. A host may be connected to IPv6-only or
dual-stack access network. Essentially BIH makes the IPv4
applications think they talk to IPv4 peers and hence hides the
existence of IPv6 from those applications.
Acknowledgement of previous work
This document is an update to and directly derivative from Kazuaki
TSHUCHIYA, Hidemitsu HIGUCHI, and Yoshifumi ATARASHI [RFC2767] and
from Seungyun Lee, Myung-Ki Shin, Yong-Jin Kim, Alain Durand, and
Erik Nordmark's [RFC3338], which similarly provides a dual stack host
means to communicate with other IPv6 host using existing IPv4
appliations. This document combines and updates both [RFC2767] and
[RFC3338].
The changes in this document reflect five components
1. Supporting IPv6 only network connections
2. IPv4 address pool use private address instead of the
unassigned IPv4 addresses (0.0.0.1 - 0.0.0.255)
3. Extending ENR and address mapper to operate differently
4. Adding an alternative way to implement the ENR
5. Going for standards track instead of experimental/
informational
