Diameter NAT Control Application (draft-brockners-diameter-nat-control-00.txt) IETF 74, March 2009 Presenter: Wojciech Dec (wdec@) Authors: Frank Brockners (fbrockne@), Vaneeta Singh (vansingh@), Shwetha Bhandari (shwethab@) Diameter NAT Control Application (DNCA) Problem Statement/Motivation AAA IPv4 NAS LSN Internet private IPv4 address public IPv4 address • Completion of global IPv4 address space – SP introduce Large Scale NAT (LSN) devices as one response • Per-subscriber service portfolio impacted by LSN – Customization: Define/control/parameterize NAT on a per subscriber basis (expand per-subscriber parameters / authorization data) – Operations: Integrate with existing AAA environment – Regulatory: Subscriber tracability – provide global IP-address/port used by a subscriber at any given point in time Diameter NAT Control Application (DNCA) Solution Characteristics A • Support 2-types of NAT Control – Per flow NAT-Binding Control: A1 At least portions of the binding (e.g. internal/external address) are not controlled by the device performing NAT, but another entity (e.g. SIP-server, AAA-server, etc.) – Per endpoint NAT-Parameter Control: A2 Define the parameters that control the operation of a NAT-gateway on a per-subscriber/per-endpoint basis (e.g. maximum number of NAT-bindings allowed for an endpoint, address-pools NAT-addresses get assigned from) B • Per-subscriber/per-endpoint accounting of N
