1. Introduction
-
This testing is based on most common applications utilized by home users. The main purpose is to check if those applications work correctly on a network using MAP-T [RFC7599]. MAP-T is based on [RFC6791].
Based on testing, we know which applications could be used on a network with MAP-T and the impact on a typical Internet user in Brazil. The classification as a working application is based on user experience, not on network measurements.
2. Testbed Overview

Figure 1: Network Topology Used in the Tests
-
The MAP-T Core and MAP-T Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) are virtualized Linux machines running Fedora 11 and MAP-T 1.1 software developed by CERNET (https://github.com/cernet/MAP).
The host machine is, in fact, three virtualized machines: one with Linux Kubuntu 12.04, one with Windows 7, and one with Windows XP. The host machine is replaced in the topology to test each operating system (OS).
The IPv6 router is a Linux machine with static routes to match the MAP-T network topology routes.
The NIC.br IPv4 Network is an IPv4 network with public IPv4 addresses. It is connected to the global IPv4 Internet.
The NIC.br IPv6 Network is an IPv6 network with global unicast IPv6 addresses. It is connected to the global IPv6 Internet.
The host may have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but to guarantee that the translation was being tested, the host received only an IPv4 address; the IPv4 packet must be translated to pass on the IPv6-only network. If the host is assigned an IPv6 address, this address should have a preference as specified in [RFC6555], and the translation might not be tested in some cases where the application or the content provider is available on IPv6.

2.2.4. Host 1
-
The host could be Linux, Windows 7, or Windows XP, so there isn't a script for each of them. The following must be configured manually:
- ipv4-address=198.51.100.250/29
- ipv4-gateway=198.51.100.249
- ipv4-DNS=8.8.8.8
- IPv6 is disabled
The communication using IPv6 from/to the host to/from the Internet has no limitation and is not impacted by the translation mechanism. IPv6 is disabled to guarantee that the translation is being used.

5. Effect Analysis
5.1. User Experience
-
User experience can only be evaluated subjectively: there is no quantitative rule to define if the user experience is acceptable. Network delay, streaming experience, and download time are similar to a network without MAP-T using IPv4 addresses and a NAT44 on the CPE.
The user experience was reported to be very good. Almost all the software and websites worked correctly, the exceptions were the network traceroute and command-line FTP.
The traceroute is only capable of reaching the MAP-T CPE and receiving a return message that the destination net is unreachable.
The command-line FTP, using active mode, is capable of connecting to the host with or without authentication, creating, deleting, and navigating folders, but it is not capable of listing folder contents or sending/receiving files. The differences between active and passive mode are explained in [RFC959].
The BitTorrent applications can't seed or share files, since there aren't incoming connections to the host, it may cause some difficulties and low downloading speeds.
5.2. Testing Summary
-
The working applications had no need of a special configuration to function. The user experience was reported to be very good. Almost all the software and websites worked correctly, the exceptions were the network traceroute and command-line FTP.
The command-line FTP doesn't work correctly because active mode requires incoming connections to specific ports without having an outbound connection on those ports. When the test was run on FTP passive mode on Linux, the FTP worked correctly. When the test was run on FTP passive mode on Windows 7 and Windows XP, the FTP didn't work correctly. When using FileZilla FTP in passive mode, FTP worked on all tested operating systems.
The network traceroute doesn't work in inbound or outbound directions because there is no continuity of the IPv4 network, as it is interrupted by an IPv6-only network. The tool is not capable of detecting the hosts in this IPv6-only network and because of that the traceroute doesn't succeed.
The testing was run with the version 1.1 of the MAP-T software developed by CERNET. In this version, the MAP-T CPE uses a NAT44, so it is not possible to receive incoming connections even on the ports assigned to the host by the address plus port division. Because of that, it is not possible to configure a server on the host. We provided this feedback to the CERNET team and they developed a new version of the software (2.2c) that is capable of receiving incoming connections on specific ports in each CPE.
6. Future Testing Considerations
-
Future tests should consider testing Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation (MAP-E) [RFC7597] as well (currently supported in the new version of CERNET's MAP software). Other operating systems (Mac OS, Android, IOS, etc.), devices (mobile phones, tablets, video games, etc.), and programs (mail and instant messaging clients and servers) could be tested, too. Another consideration is the port sharing ratio and if it affects performance and functionalities. The results of the testing made in MAP Interoperability Testing Results [MAP-TESTING] are also relevant for future tests. Impact on other protocols, like DNS and DNSSEC, could also be verified.
7. Security Considerations
-
There are no new security considerations pertaining to this document.

Wait and check whether the client connects to a | | | tracker, identifies at least one peer, and the | | | download starts. | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |Expected |Ktorrent clients can connect to trackers, identify | |Result |peers, and start downloads. | | | | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |Actual Result|Partially Passed | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ |Remarks |As it is not possible to receive incoming | | |connections, the software is not capable of | | |performing the seeding of downloaded files. | +-------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
A.10.4. Note about BitTorrent Seeders
-
BitTorrent uses distributed queues, each seeder owns the queues for the files they have. The seeder informs the tracker that it has the file and the tracker informs the clients about this seeder. The client sends messages to this announced seeder to try to download the file. With no incoming connection, the BitTorrent fails here on the MAP-T. Despite being a possible seeder, the machine doesn't upload the file; without upload, it will be considered a leech and will be penalized on future downloading speeds. This is the same problem that happens on a network with IPv4 without port forwarding. For details about the influence on shared IPv4 addresses on torrent, see "Behavior of BitTorrent service in PCP-enabled networks with Address Sharing" [PCP-BITTORRENT].
