My initial perspective on this, and that’s why I think it can be part of the 7084-transtition document, is that it only makes sense if it can be done by means of a transition mechanism in the CE, so not requiring an existing operator to deploy anything new.
For example, let’s assume an operator has already NAT64, deployed during the transition from an IPv4-only network to an IPv6-only one. They deployed a few NAT64 and DNS64 boxes, together with CEs that were configured for doing 464XLAT. Now after a few years, they can probably have “less” NAT64 boxes, as there is less and less IPv4 traffic, however, new customers in the network (may be coming from IPv4-only operators), still require some IPv4 service. So, if the operator kept “some” NAT64 boxes, they can still offer “on-demand” IPv4, because the CLAT in the CE is automatically taking care of this. I’m not actually sure (need to work on that), if there is “anything” new to add to my existing document, or just some text to clarify that this sort outs problems documented in draft-ietf-sunset4-gapanalysis.

The question I would ask is whether on-demand IPv4 makes sense. To my way of thinking, it amounts to deploying a new kind of network. We are asking people to deploy IPv6 in their IPv4 networks, or to deploy IPv6-only networks. That requires some portion of the money and time they have available for such issues. Deploying an IPv4-on-demand network is another thing competing for those same resources - it doesn't create new resources or reduce the matters pertaining to IPv6 deployment - it creates another demand for the same resources. I don't see the point. I suspect that the network actually routes IPv4 no matter what; what is being handed out on demand is an IPv4 address to an edge device. Hosts right now get IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses when they don't need them so they can use them when they do. They would need a different mode of operation, perhaps triggered by the resolver noticing that an application wants to access some name and the name only has an A record. In that mode of operation, the host only asks for (DHCP) an IPv4 address when it needs it, and routing in the network is to the granted address for the lifetime of the address. Do I believe we can describe and solve that? Yes. Do I think we can do it more cheaply and simply than moving folks and their applications to IPv6, and convince operators to change their operational practices accordingly? Not even close. I think it is a diversion from IPv6 deployment. > On Aug 16, 2017, at 2:08 PM, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <[email protected]> wrote: > > (copying v6ops) > > Forgot something here regarding: > > 4.
