The IESG has received a request from the Behavior Engineering for Hindrance Avoidance WG (behave) to consider the following document: - 'Discovery of the IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis' <draft-ietf-behave-nat64-discovery-heuristic-13.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2013-02-05. 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 This document describes a method for detecting the presence of DNS64 and for learning the IPv6 prefix used for protocol translation on an access network. The method depends on the existence of a well-known IPv4-only domain name "ipv4only.arpa". The information learned enables nodes to perform local IPv6 address synthesis and to potentially avoid NAT64 on dual-stack and multi-interface deployments.
