Provisioning Customer Equipment for IPv4 Over IPv6 Transitional Solutions
This document outlines the necessary Diameter attribute-value pairs for provisioning customer equipment during the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. As networks migrate, customer edge devices may need to support various transition methods such as DS-Lite, public IPv4 over IPv6, Lw4over6, and MAP-E. Each technique requires specific subscriber-related information, often managed by AAA servers, to facilitate the proper delivery of IPv4 packets over IPv6 infrastructure. The defined parameters ensure that the provisioning process meets the needs of each transition method effectively.

Attribute-Value Pairs For Provisioning Customer Equipment SupportingIPv4-Over-IPv6 Transitional Solutions draft-zhou-dime-4over6-provisioning-01 Cathy Zhou; Tom Taylor; Qiong Sun
Motivation • In IPv4 to IPv6 transition, customer equipment may have to support one of the various transition methods that have been or are currently being defined for carrying IPv4 packets over IPv6. • Each technique requires the provisioning of some subscriber- specific information on the customer edge device. • In many networks, the subscriber information may be managed by AAA servers. • AAA servers needs to provide the information to the network server responsible for passing the information to the customer equipment. • This document specifies Diameter attribute-value pairs to be used for that purpose.
Parameters Required By Each Transition Method • DS-Lite • AFTR address; • An indicator that DS-Lite is to be used; • IPv4 address of B4 interface (optional) • Public IPv4 over IPv6 • A public IPv4 address; • IPv6 address of the border router • Lw4over6 • A public IPv4 address • LwAFTR address; • Port set identifier • MAP-E • Mapping rules
Attribute-Value Pair Defined • Border Router IPv6 Address • IPv4 prefix or address • IPv6 prefix or address • Port set identifier • Transmission method indicator • NAT pool identifier • V4 and v6 binding • MAP rule
