The IESG has received a request from the Behavior Engineering for Hindrance Avoidance WG (behave) to consider the following document: - 'Analysis of solution proposals for hosts to learn NAT64 prefix' <draft-ietf-behave-nat64-learn-analysis-03.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-03-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Hosts and applications may benefit from the knowledge if an IPv6 address is synthesized, which would mean a NAT64 is used to reach the IPv4 network or Internet. This document analyses a number of proposed solutions for communicating whether the synthesis is taking place, used address format, and the IPv6 prefix used by the NAT64 and DNS64. The solutions enable both NAT64 avoidance and intentional utilization by allowing local IPv6 address synthesis. The document concludes by recommending selection of heuristic discovery based solution. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-behave-nat64-learn-analysis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-behave-nat64-learn-analysis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
