A IPv6 or IPv4 host can use the Port Control Protocol (PCP) to
flexibly re-configure its network address translators (NATs) or
firewalls, change their ways in translating and forwarding IP
packets, and eventually facilitate its communications with remote
hosts. However, the un-controlled generation or deletion of IP
address mappings on such network devices may cause security risks and
should be avoided. Before a PCP request is eventually executed, the
requester needs to prove that it is a legal PCP user and has a
sufficient privilege. This document proposes an in-band
authentication mechanism for PCP. The Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) is taken advantage of to perform authentication
between PCP devices.
