This is only require if you do not have a unique IPv4 address per node.
What I'm suggesting is to allocate/derive a unique v4 address to each node.
It can be done either by running DHCPv4 over the DS-lite tunnel, or defining
an IPv4 allocation option for DHCPv6 or defining a mechanism to
automatically derive a unique v4 address from the DHCPv6 assigned v6
address.
