Abstract
With the foreseen scarcity of public IPv4 addresses and the
hesitation and technical difficulties to deploy IPv6, the transition
scenarios which assumed that migration to IPv6 happens before the
run-out of IPv4 addresses, need to be revisited.
This document defines a method to allocate the same IPv4 address to
multiple hosts, thus prolonging the availability of public IPv4
addresses for as long as it takes for IPv6 to take over the demand
for IPv4. The document also describes the deployment scenarios where
this method is applicable.

Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
1. Introduction
There are a number of possible solutions to deal with the problem of
transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6; however none of them is a one fits
all solution. Different solutions fit different deployment scenarios
(see also [ARKK2008]). See [WING2008] for comparison.
As a possible alternative solution for the IPv4-IPv6 coexistence
period, this document describes a method, using newly defined DHCPv4
[RFC2131] options, that allows servers to assign port restricted
IPv4 addresses to clients. By assigning the same IPv4 address to
multiple clients, the availability of IPv4 addresses can be
prolonged for as long as it takes for IPv6 to take over the demand
for IPv4.
The solution described in this document is intended to be used by
large ISPs, who as of the date of writing this document, have a
large enough IPv4 address pool to be able to allocate one public
IPv4 address for each and every client. They expect though that the
situation is unsustainable and they will soon not be able to provide
every client with a public IPv4 address. Such ISPs have two
possibilities to choose from:
- deploy Network Address Translators (NAT), which can be a
significant investment for ISPs not having NATs yet. The address
space limitations of [RFC1918] may even force these large ISPs to
deploy double NATs, which come with all the harmful behaviour of
carrier grade NATs, as described in [MAEN2008]; or
- allocate fragments of the same public IPv4 address directly to
multiple clients (which can be CPEs or end hosts), thus avoid the
cost of deploying multiple layers of, or carrier grade NATs. It is
however assumed, that the demand for IPv4 addresses will decrease in
the not so distant future, being taken over by IPv6, as the proposal
in this draft is not by any means a permanent solution for the IPv4
address exhaustion problem. In fact, some presented deployment
scenarios require existence of IPv6 access network.
For ISPs not having NATs yet, a solution not requiring NATs would
probably be preferred. For some other ISPs, who already have NATs in
place, increasing the capacity of their NATs might be the preferred
solution.
2. Usage of port-restricted IPv4 addresses in various scenarios
This chapter depicts the scenarios where port restricted IPv4
addresses can be used, and what kind of assumptions have to be made.
Relationships to various IPv4-IPv6 transition proposals being
currently discussed in IETF are also considered.

Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
2.1 Point-to-point links with L2 IPv4 support
In point-to-point links it can be assumed that there are only two
communicating parties on the link, and thus IP address collisions
are easy to avoid.
In wireless cellular networks host attaches to an access router,
such as 3GPP PDN GW [3GP23401] or WiMAX ASN GW [WMFS21.2], over a
point-to-point link providing layer 2 IPv4 transport capability.
In order to be able to allocate port-restricted IP addresses to
host, the access router needs to implement DHCPv4 server [3GP23401]
or at least act as a DHCPv4 relay or DHCPv4 proxy [WMFS31.2], while
a DHCPv4 server exists in the backend. These setups are illustrated
in figure 1.
+--------+ |
3GPP ---Point to Point link--| 3GPP |------|
host <-IPv4 EPS bearer--> | PDN GW | |
+--------+ |
| IPv4 Internet
+--------+ |
WiMAX ---Point to Point link--| WiMAX |------|
host <-----IPv4 CS------> | ASN GW | |
+--------+ |
Figure 1 Point-to-point physical links
As each host is attaching to the access router with an individual
link, both modified and unmodified hosts can be supported
simultaneously. This enables deployment of modified hosts,
supporting public IPv4 address conservation by using DHCP port
restricted IPv4 address assignment, while continuing to support the
legacy hosts using DHCP as currently specified.
In this scenario IPv6 addresses can be used in parallel with any
IPv4 address, no tunneling is necessary.
2.2 Point-to-point tunneled links
From DHCPv4 point of view tunneled link scenario does not differ
very much from L2 point-to-point links as described in 2.1, although
there are general concerns regarding tunnels (like decreased MTU).
It is expected by authors that the tunneling would be done over
IPv6, but other mechanisms can also be thought of.
Tunnel is established between a host (or CPE) and a tunnel endpoint
in the host operator's network. In different scenarios the tunnel
endpoint may be placed at different locations. The tunnel endpoint
can be at the first hop router such as 3GPP2 PDSN [3G2X0011] or 3GPP
PDN-GW, or farther off in the network such as at Dual-Stack Lite
Bajko & Savolainen Expires April 21, 2009 [Page 4]
Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
Carrer Grade NAT (see 2.5.1). These example setups are illustrated
in figure 2.
Having the tunnel endpoint at the first hop router can be beneficial
in setups where providing of native dual-stack transport for the
last mile is not feasible. This can be the case e.g. in current 3GPP
networks where a PDP context [3GP23060] is capable of transporting
only IPv4 or IPv6 packets, and having both IPv4 and IPv6 PDP
contexts simultaneously active per host can be expensive.

Figure 2 Point-to-point links as IPv4 over
IPv6 tunnels over three different accesses
For networks which use IP(v6)CP to configure an IPv4 and IPv6
address to the host, allocating a port-restricted IPv4 address to
the host to prevent running out of available IPv4 addresses, can
also be a feasible solution. In these deployment scenarios IPCPv6
would be used to configure an IPv6 address to the host. The host
would then set up the tunnel and use the DHCPv4 extensions defined
in this document to request a port-restricted IPv4 address. Examples
of such networks include 3GPP2 and BRAS.
2.3 NAT in a host
When a host which is capable of handling a port-restricted IP
address, but some of the applications on the host may have trouble
using those addresses (e.g. they require a specific port to
operate), as an implementation choice, the host may hide the port
restricted nature of the allocated address by implementing an
internal NAT:

2.4 Distributed Network Address Translation function
One deployment model for port restricted IPv4 addresses is the
distributed Network Address Translation, as shown in figure 4. This
deployment scenario is preferred for the cases when:
1 the port-restricted IPv4 address is not supported by all hosts
connected to the CPE
2 Applications may have trouble understanding port restricted
public IPv4 addresses, but are familiar with RFC1918 addresses
3 Centralized NAT (Carrier Grade NAT) function may be expensive

Figure 4 Distributed NAT scenario illustrated
With distributed NAT model, the home CPE is assigned a port
restricted public IPv4 address and provides NATed addresses to the
legacy devices attached to it. This setup allows avoidance of
carrier grade NAT and enables customers' control on NAT with e.g.
protocols such as UPnP and NAT-PMP, and also makes it easier to
optimize sending of keep-alive messages.
The distributed NAT model can be used in both physical and tunneled
point-to-links.
Alternatively, a CPE may choose to subdivide the port-restricted
IPv4 address, in cases when all hosts connected to the CPE support
port-restricted IPv4 address assignment.

Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
2.5 Relationship to other proposals
This chapter describes how the new DHCPv4 options for port
restricted IPv4 address assignment can be seen to relate to some
recent IETF proposals on this subject.
2.5.1 Dual-Stack Lite
Dual-Stack Lite [DURA2008] describes a setup where a dual-stack lite
device tunnels IPv4 over IPv6 to carrier grade NAT, which uses the
Dual-Stack Lite device's IPv6 address as identifier in addition to
the private IPv4 address used. Dual-Stack Lite client side
functionality can be implemented in home router, or in the host
itself.
The DHCPv4 port restricted addresses can be used in a Dual-Stack
Lite environment by simply having the port-restricted IPv4 address
allocation mechanism incorporated into the carrier grade NAT. The
benefit of doing so is to extend the allocation of a public IPv4
address to an end host or CPE and to avoid double NATting.
Alternatively the carrier grade NAT can just act as a tunnel
endpoint and DHCP relay, while the DHCPv4 server is a separate
entity. Collocating DHCPv4 server and tunnel endpoint is preferred
approach to avoid introduction of control interfaces between DHCPv4
server and tunnel endpoint.

2.5.2 Address and Port Borrowing Protocol
The architecture of address and port borrowing protocol (APBP) is
described in [DESP2008]. The new DHCPv4 options can be used by APBP
enabled CPE, or host, to request public IPv4 address with port range
from APBP server. The APBP server can also act as a IPv4-over-IPv6
tunnel endpoint. This is illustrated in figure 1 of [DESP2008].
Again the DHCPv4 client can be either CPE implementing the
distributed NAT, or a host having internal NAT.

Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
2.6 Efficiency issues in dynamic and static port allocation methods
With the port-restricted IPv4 address allocation method, ports are
allocated statically providing benefits as described, while carrier
grade NAT based proposals, such as DS-Lite [DURA2008], have a
dynamic port mapping, but require NATs. The obvious result is that
DS-Lite is more efficient in sharing single public IPv4 address for
multiple hosts, but with related downsides. Thus there is a trade-
off that has to be taken into account when making deployment
decisions.
The seriousness of efficiency difference is decreased when more
services become available in IPv6 and thus will cease to consume
IPv4 address and port space. In this regard it is important to have
very port consuming services directly IPv6-accessible.
3. DHCPv4 Options for allocating port restricted public IPv4 address
This section defines new dhcpv4 options, which would allow
allocation of port restricted IPv4 addresses.
3.1 Option for offering port restricted IPv4 address
The option layout is depicted below:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

4. Option Usage
4.1 Client Behaviour
A client which supports the extensions defined in this document,
SHOULD insert the option OPTION-IPv4-RPR, by setting the IPv4
address field to 0.0.0.0, the beginning and ending port numbers to
zero, into a DHCPDISCOVER message, to explicitly let the server know
that it supports port restricted IPv4 addresses.
When a client, which supports the options defined in this document,
receives a DHCPOFFER with the 'yiaddr' (client IP address) field set
Bajko & Savolainen Expires April 21, 2009 [Page 9]
Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
to 0.0.0.0, it SHOULD check for the presence of OPTION-IPv4-OPR
option field. If such an option is present, the client MAY send a
DHCPREQUEST message and insert the option OPTION-IPv4-RPR with the
IP address and port ranges received in the OPTION-IPv4-OPR option of
the previous DHCPOFFER. The client MUST NOT include a 'Requested IP
Address' DHCP option (code 50) into this DHCPOFFER.
The client MUST NOT insert the IP address received in OPTION-IPv4-
OPR into the 'Requested IP Address' DHCP option (code 50).
When the client receives a DHCPACK message with an OPTION-IPv4-OPR
option, it MAY start using the specified IP address in conjunction
with the source ports specified. The client MUST NOT use the IP
address with different source port numbers, as that may result in a
conflict, since the same IP address with a different source port
range may be assigned to a different client. Furthermore, the client
MUST notice the situation where an outgoing IP packet has the same
IP address as destination address than the client itself has, but
the port number is not belonging to the allocated range. In this
case the client MUST detect that the packet is not destined for
itself, and it MUST send it forward.
In case the initial port range received by the client from the
server is exhausted and the client needs additional ports, it MAY
request so by sending a new DHCPDISCOVER message.
A client MUST NOT include an OPTION-IPv4-OPR option field into any
DHCP message it generates.
4.2 Server Behaviour
When a server, which supports the options defined in this document,
receives a DHCPDISCOVER message, it SHOULD check the presence of the
OPTION-IPv4-RPR option. If that option is present, the server SHOULD
allocate port restricted IPv4 address to the client, and save the
unrestricted addresses for clients which do not support the
extensions defined in this document. If OPTION-IPv4-RPR is not
present in DHCPDISCOVER, the server SHOULD allocate full
unrestricted public or private [RFC1918] IPv4 address to the client,
whenever available, by generating a DHCPOFFER as described in
[RFC2131].
When a server, which supports the options defined in this document,
receives a DHCPDISCOVER message and can only offer port restricted
IP address to the client, it MUST set the 'yiaddr' (client IP
address) field of the DHCPOFFER message to 0.0.0.0 and SHOULD insert
the OPTION-IPv4-OPR option field by specifying the IP address and
allowed port range.
When a server, which supports the options defined in this document,
receives a DHCPDISCOVER message from a client without the OPTION-
IPv4-RRP, and knows by means outside the scope of this document,
Bajko & Savolainen Expires April 21, 2009 [Page 10]
Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
that the client supports the usage of port-restricted IPv4 addresses
(or it is only entitled to be provisioned with such addresses), MUST
set the 'yiaddr' (client IP address) field of the DHCPOFFER message
to 0.0.0.0 and SHOULD insert the OPTION-IPv4-OPR option field by
specifying the IP address and allowed port range.
When the server receives a DHCPREQUEST message from the client with
an OPTION-IPv4-RPR option field containing the IP address and port
range it has previously offered to the client, the server MUST send
a DHCPACK, where the 'yiaddr' (client IP address) field is set to
0.0.0.0 and the server MUST include the OPTION-IPv4-OPR option
including the IP address and port range the client requested.
When the server receives a DHCPREQUEST message from the client with
an OPTION-IPv4-RPR option field containing an IP address and port
range it has previously not offered to the client, the server MUST
send a DHCPNAK to the client.
When the server detects that a client with a specific hardware
address, having already been allocated with a port restricted IP
address, sent another DHCPDISCOVER, it MAY, based on local policy,
offer the client with additional port restricted IP address.
A server MUST NOT include an OPTION-IPv4-RPR option field into any
DHCP message it generates. A server MUST ignore any OPTION-IPv4-OPR
options in DHCP messages generated by clients.
A server SHOULD ensure the client is residing on an access link
where usage of port-restricted addresses are not causing problems,
before allocating it a port restricted IPv4 address.
5. Applicability
The immediate applicability of such a solution is in 3GPP [3GP23401]
or WiMAX [WMFS21.2] compliant mobile networks, where cellular hosts
can directly utilize the option without separate gateway or consumer
premises gateway being present. The new options can be utilized both
in point-to-point links and/or IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnels.
This document does not address the issue of how clients configured
with port restricted IP addresses would handle protocols that run
directly over IP (e.g. ICMP). That problem needs further
consideration.
The server leasing the port restricted IP address, or a gateway in
the network, (e.g. the first hop router of a point-to-point link)
MUST enforce the restricted port range policy by filtering out
packets sent using out of range source ports.
6. IANA considerations
Bajko & Savolainen Expires April 21, 2009 [Page 11]
Port restricted IP address assignment October 2008
This document defines two new DHCPv4 options as described in section
2.
Offered Port Restricted IP Address Option for DHCPv4 (OPTION-IPv4-
OPR) TBD
Requested Port Restricted IP Address Option for DHCPv4 (OPTION-IPv4-
RPR) TBD
7. Open issues
How does the tunnel endpoint handle ICMP traffic? ICMP error
messages contain part of the IP packet that triggered the error, so
multiplexing can be done based on port numbers found inside the
packet. However, ICMP packets such as ICMP echo reply do not have
these port numbers and thus cannot be handled similarly. Is there a
stateless way for tunnel endpoint to multiplex such packets, or does
the tunnel endpoint has to contain short-lived state e.g. for used
source/destination addresses, identifier and sequence number of
outgoing packets, so that downlink packet can be multiplexed
correctly?
As the new DHCP options are designed only for point-to-point links -
-
with shared mediums such as Ethernet there would be possible
problems with ARP, if multiple hosts on the same link share the same
IP address. How it can be ensured that the new DHCP options are not
used in wrong context, i.e. outside of point-to-point tunneled or
physical links?
8. Security considerations
The solution is vulnerable to DoS when used in shared medium or when
access network authentication is not a prerequisite to IP address
assignment. The solution SHOULD only be used on point-to-point
links, tunnels, and/or in environments where authentication at link
layer is performed before IP address assignment, and not shared
medium.
