Abstract
The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) connects
dual-stack (IPv6/IPv4) nodes over IPv4 networks. ISATAP views the
IPv4 network as a link layer for IPv6 and supports an automatic
tunneling abstraction similar to the Non-Broadcast Multiple Access
(NBMA) model.

1. Introduction
This document specifies a simple mechanism called the Intra-Site
Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) that connects
dual-stack (IPv6/IPv4) nodes over IPv4 networks. Dual-stack nodes
use ISATAP to automatically tunnel IPv6 packets in IPv4, i.e., ISATAP
views the IPv4 network as a link layer for IPv6.
ISATAP enables automatic tunneling whether global or private IPv4
addresses are used, and it presents a Non-Broadcast Multiple Access
(NBMA) abstraction similar to [RFC2491],[RFC2492],[RFC2529], and
[RFC3056].
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 2]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
The main objectives of this document are to: 1) describe the domain
of applicability, 2) specify addressing requirements, 3) specify
automatic tunneling using ISATAP, 4) specify the operation of IPv6
Neighbor Discovery over ISATAP interfaces, and 5) discuss Site
Administration, Security, and IANA considerations.
2. Requirements
The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this
document, are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document also uses internal conceptual variables to describe
protocol behavior and external variables that an implementation must
allow system administrators to change. The specific variable names,
how their values change, and how their settings influence protocol
behavior are provided in order to demonstrate protocol behavior. An
implementation is not required to have them in the exact form
described here, as long as its external behavior is consistent with
that described in this document.
3. Terminology
The terminology of [RFC2460] and [RFC4861] applies to this document.
The following additional terms are defined:
ISATAP node/host/router:
A dual-stack (IPv6/IPv4) node/host/router that implements the
specifications in this document.
ISATAP interface:
An ISATAP node's Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA) IPv6 interface,
used for automatic tunneling of IPv6 packets in IPv4.
ISATAP interface identifier:
An IPv6 interface identifier with an embedded IPv4 address
constructed as specified in Section 6.1.
ISATAP address:
An IPv6 unicast address that matches an on-link prefix on an
ISATAP interface of the node, and that includes an ISATAP
interface identifier.
locator:
An IPv4 address-to-interface mapping; i.e., a node's IPv4 address
and its associated interface.
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
locator set:
A set of locators associated with an ISATAP interface. Each
locator in the set belongs to the same site.
4. Domain of Applicability
The domain of applicability for this technical specification is
automatic tunneling of IPv6 packets in IPv4 for ISATAP nodes within
sites that observe the security considerations found in this
document, including host-to-router, router-to-host, and host-to-host
automatic tunneling in certain enterprise networks and 3GPP/3GPP2
wireless operator networks. (Other scenarios with a sufficient trust
basis ensured by the mechanisms specified in this document also fall
within this domain of applicability.)
Extensions to the above domain of applicability (e.g., by combining
the mechanisms in this document with those in other technical
specifications) are out of the scope of this document.
5. Node Requirements
ISATAP nodes observe the common functionality requirements for IPv6
nodes found in [RFC4294] and the requirements for dual IP layer
operation found in Section 2 of [RFC4213]. They also implement the
additional features specified in this document.
6. Addressing Requirements
6.1. ISATAP Interface Identifiers
ISATAP interface identifiers are constructed in Modified EUI-64
format per Section 2.5.1 of [RFC4291] by concatenating the 24-bit
IANA OUI (00-00-5E), the 8-bit hexadecimal value 0xFE, and a 32-bit
IPv4 address in network byte order as follows:
|0 1|1 3|3 6|
|0 5|6 1|2 3|
+----------------+----------------+--------------------------------+
|000000ug00000000|0101111011111110|mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm|
+----------------+----------------+--------------------------------+
When the IPv4 address is known to be globally unique, the "u" bit
(universal/local) is set to 1; otherwise, the "u" bit is set to 0.
"g" is the individual/group bit, and "m" represents the bits of the
IPv4 address.
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
Per Section 2.5.1 of [RFC4291], ISATAP nodes are not required to
validate that interface identifiers created with modified EUI-64
tokens with the "u" bit set to universal are unique.
6.2. ISATAP Interface Address Configuration
Each ISATAP interface configures a set of locators consisting of IPv4
address-to-interface mappings from a single site; i.e., an ISATAP
interface's locator set MUST NOT span multiple sites.
When an IPv4 address is removed from an interface, the corresponding
locator SHOULD be removed from its associated locator set(s). When a
new IPv4 address is assigned to an interface, the corresponding
locator MAY be added to the appropriate locator set(s).
ISATAP interfaces form ISATAP interface identifiers from IPv4
addresses in their locator set and use them to create link-local
ISATAP addresses (Section 5.3 of [RFC4862]).
6.3. Multicast/Anycast
It is not possible to assume the general availability of wide-area
IPv4 multicast, so (unlike 6over4 [RFC2529]) ISATAP must assume that
its underlying IPv4 carrier network only has unicast capability.
Support for IPv6 multicast over ISATAP interfaces is not described in
this document.
Similarly, support for Reserved IPv6 Subnet Anycast Addresses is not
described in this document.
7. Automatic Tunneling
ISATAP interfaces use the basic tunneling mechanisms specified in
Section 3 of [RFC4213]. The following sub-sections describe
additional specifications.
7.1. Encapsulation
ISATAP addresses are mapped to a link-layer address by a static
computation; i.e., the last four octets are treated as an IPv4
address.
7.2. Handling ICMPv4 Errors
ISATAP interfaces SHOULD process Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
failures and persistent ICMPv4 errors as link-specific information
indicating that a path to a neighbor may have failed (Section 7.3.3
of [RFC4861]).
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 5]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
7.3. Decapsulation
The specification in Section 3.6 of [RFC4213] is used. Additionally,
when an ISATAP node receives an IPv4 protocol 41 datagram that does
not belong to a configured tunnel interface, it determines whether
the packet's IPv4 destination address and arrival interface match a
locator configured in an ISATAP interface's locator set.
If an ISATAP interface that configures a matching locator is found,
the decapsulator MUST verify that the packet's IPv4 source address is
correct for the encapsulated IPv6 source address. The IPv4 source
address is correct if:
o the IPv6 source address is an ISATAP address that embeds the
IPv4 source address in its interface identifier, or
o the IPv4 source address is a member of the Potential Router
List (see Section 8.1).
Packets for which the IPv4 source address is incorrect for this
ISATAP interface are checked to determine whether they belong to
another tunnel interface.
7.4. Link-Local Addresses
ISATAP interfaces use link-local addresses constructed as specified
in Section 6 of this document.
7.5. Neighbor Discovery over Tunnels
ISATAP interfaces use the specifications for neighbor discovery found
in the following section of this document.
8. Neighbor Discovery for ISATAP Interfaces
ISATAP interfaces use the neighbor discovery mechanisms specified in
[RFC4861]. The following sub-sections describe specifications that
are also implemented.
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
8.1. Conceptual Model of a Host
To the list of Conceptual Data Structures (Section 5.1 of [RFC4861]),
ISATAP interfaces add the following:
Potential Router List (PRL)
A set of entries about potential routers; used to support router
and prefix discovery. Each entry ("PRL(i)") has an associated
timer ("TIMER(i)"), and an IPv4 address ("V4ADDR(i)") that
represents a router's advertising ISATAP interface.
8.2. Router and Prefix Discovery - Router Specification
Advertising ISATAP interfaces send Solicited Router Advertisement
messages as specified in Section 6.2.6 of [RFC4861] except that the
messages are sent directly to the soliciting node; i.e., they might
not be received by other nodes on the link.
8.3. Router and Prefix Discovery - Host Specification
The Host Specification in Section 6.3 of [RFC4861] is used. The
following sub-sections describe specifications added by ISATAP
interfaces.
8.3.1. Host Variables
To the list of host variables (Section 6.3.2 of [RFC4861]), ISATAP
interfaces add the following:
PrlRefreshInterval
Time in seconds between successive refreshments of the PRL after
initialization. The designated value of all ones (0xffffffff)
represents infinity.
Default: 3600 seconds
MinRouterSolicitInterval
Minimum time in seconds between successive solicitations of the
same advertising ISATAP interface. The designated value of all
ones (0xffffffff) represents infinity.
8.3.2. Potential Router List Initialization
ISATAP nodes initialize an ISATAP interface's PRL with IPv4 addresses
acquired via manual configuration, a DNS Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) [RFC1035], a DHCPv4 [RFC2131] vendor-specific option, or an
unspecified alternate method. Domain names are acquired via manual
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
configuration, receipt of a DHCPv4 Domain Name option [RFC2132], or
an unspecified alternate method. FQDNs are resolved into IPv4
addresses through a static host file lookup, querying the DNS
service, querying a site-specific name service, or with an
unspecified alternate method.
After initializing an ISATAP interface's PRL, the node sets a timer
for the interface to PrlRefreshInterval seconds and re-initializes
the interface's PRL as specified above when the timer expires. When
an FQDN is used, and when it is resolved via a service that includes
Times to Live (TTLs) with the IPv4 addresses returned (e.g., DNS 'A'
resource records [RFC1035]), the timer SHOULD be set to the minimum
of PrlRefreshInterval and the minimum TTL returned. (Zero-valued
TTLs are interpreted to mean that the PRL is re-initialized before
each Router Solicitation event; see Section 8.3.4.)
8.3.3. Processing Received Router Advertisements
To the list of checks for validating Router Advertisement messages
(Section 6.1.2 of [RFC4861]), ISATAP interfaces add the following:
o IP Source Address is a link-local ISATAP address that embeds
V4ADDR(i) for some PRL(i).
Valid Router Advertisements received on an ISATAP interface are
processed as specified in Section 6.3.4 of [RFC4861].
8.3.4. Sending Router Solicitations
To the list of events after which Router Solicitation messages may be
sent (Section 6.3.7 of [RFC4861]), ISATAP interfaces add the
following:
o TIMER(i) for some PRL(i) expires.
Since unsolicited Router Advertisements may be incomplete and/or
absent, ISATAP nodes MAY schedule periodic Router Solicitation events
for certain PRL(i)s by setting the corresponding TIMER(i).
When periodic Router Solicitation events are scheduled, the node
SHOULD set TIMER(i) so that the next event will refresh remaining
lifetimes stored for PRL(i) before they expire, including the Router
Lifetime, Valid Lifetimes received in Prefix Information Options, and
Route Lifetimes received in Route Information Options [RFC4191].
TIMER(i) MUST be set to no less than MinRouterSolicitInterval seconds
where MinRouterSolicitInterval is configurable for the node, or for a
specific PRL(i), with a conservative default value (e.g., 2 minutes).
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
When TIMER(i) expires, the node sends Router Solicitation messages as
specified in Section 6.3.7 of [RFC4861] except that the messages are
sent directly to PRL(i); i.e., they might not be received by other
routers. While the node continues to require periodic Router
Solicitation events for PRL(i), and while PRL(i) continues to act as
a router, the node resets TIMER(i) after each expiration event as
described above.
8.4. Neighbor Unreachability Detection
ISATAP hosts SHOULD perform Neighbor Unreachability Detection
(Section 7.3 of [RFC4861]). ISATAP routers MAY perform Neighbor
Unreachability Detection, but this might not scale in all
environments.
After address resolution, ISATAP hosts SHOULD perform an initial
reachability confirmation by sending Neighbor Solicitation messages
and receiving a Neighbor Advertisement message. ISATAP routers MAY
perform this initial reachability confirmation, but this might not
scale in all environments.
9. Site Administration Considerations
Site administrators maintain a Potential Router List (PRL) of IPv4
addresses representing advertising ISATAP interfaces of routers.
The PRL is commonly maintained as an FQDN for the ISATAP service in
the site's name service (see Section 8.3.2). There are no mandatory
rules for the selection of the FQDN, but site administrators are
encouraged to use the convention "isatap.domainname" (e.g.,
isatap.example.com).
When the site's name service includes TTLs with the IPv4 addresses
returned, site administrators SHOULD configure the TTLs with
conservative values to minimize control traffic.
10. Security Considerations
Implementers should be aware that, in addition to possible attacks
against IPv6, security attacks against IPv4 must also be considered.
Use of IP security at both IPv4 and IPv6 levels should nevertheless
be avoided, for efficiency reasons. For example, if IPv6 is running
encrypted, encryption of IPv4 would be redundant unless traffic
analysis is felt to be a threat. If IPv6 is running authenticated,
then authentication of IPv4 will add little. Conversely, IPv4
security will not protect IPv6 traffic once it leaves the ISATAP
domain. Therefore, implementing IPv6 security is required even if
IPv4 security is available.
Templin, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 5214 ISATAP March 2008
The threats associated with IPv6 Neighbor Discovery are described in
[RFC3756].
There is a possible spoofing attack in which spurious ip-protocol-41
packets are injected into an ISATAP link from outside. Since an
ISATAP link spans an entire IPv4 site, restricting access to the link
can be achieved by restricting access to the site; i.e., by having
site border routers implement IPv4 ingress filtering and ip-
protocol-41 filtering.
Another possible spoofing attack involves spurious ip-protocol-41
packets injected from within an ISATAP link by a node pretending to
be a router. The Potential Router List (PRL) provides a list of IPv4
addresses representing advertising ISATAP interfaces of routers that
hosts use in filtering decisions. Site administrators should ensure
that the PRL is kept up to date, and that the resolution mechanism
(see Section 9) cannot be subverted.
The use of temporary addresses [RFC4941] and Cryptographically
Generated Addresses [RFC3972] on ISATAP interfaces is outside the
scope of this specification.
11. IANA Considerations
The IANA has specified the format for Modified EUI-64 address
construction (Appendix A of [RFC4291]) in the IANA Ethernet Address
Block. The text in the Appendix of this document has been offered as
an example specification. The current version of the IANA registry

Appendix A. Modified EUI-64 Addresses in the IANA Ethernet Address
Block
Modified EUI-64 addresses (Section 2.5.1 and Appendix A of [RFC4291])
in the IANA Ethernet Address Block are formed by concatenating the
24-bit IANA OUI (00-00-5E) with a 40-bit extension identifier and
inverting the "u" bit; i.e., the "u" bit is set to one (1) to
indicate universal scope and set to zero (0) to indicate local scope.
Modified EUI-64 addresses have the following appearance in memory
(bits transmitted right-to-left within octets, octets transmitted
left-to-right):
0 23 63
| OUI | extension identifier |
000000ug00000000 01011110xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the first two octets of the extension identifier encode the
hexadecimal value 0xFFFE, the remainder of the extension identifier
encodes a 24-bit vendor-supplied id as follows:
0 23 39 63
| OUI | 0xFFFE | vendor-supplied id |
000000ug00000000 0101111011111111 11111110xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the first octet of the extension identifier encodes the
hexadecimal value 0xFE, the remainder of the extension identifier
encodes a 32-bit IPv4 address as follows:
0 23 31 63
| OUI | 0xFE | IPv4 address |
000000ug00000000 0101111011111110 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
