Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Integrated broadband cable
telecommunication networks (CABLE).
The present document produced for the transition technologies accommodates an urgent need in the industry to define
requirements that enable seamless transition of Cable Networks to IPv6. Considering the depletion of IPv4 addresses,
transition to IPv6 is required in order to enable continued growth of the customer base connected to Cable Networks
and ensure service continuity for existing and new customers. High-quality connectivity to all kinds of IP-based
services and networks is essential in today's business and private life.
A plethora of transition technologies have been proposed in IETF, other standardization organizations and by
manufacturers of IP technology to allow coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 hosts, access and core networks as well as
services. Each of these technology options is specified, implemented and deployed in various forms and stages. The
present document is based on the requirements of ETSI TS 101 569-1 [1].
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the conformance test specification for NAT64
technology:
Part 1: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma";
Part 2: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP)";
Part 3: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)".
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "may not", "need", "need not", "will",
"will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms
for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

1 Scope
The present document provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for conformance
test specifications for the IPv6 transition technology NAT64 as defined in ETSI TS 101 569-1 [1] in compliance with
the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3].
A supplier of an implementation which is claimed to conform to ETSI TS 101 569-1 [1] is required to complete a copy
of the PICS proforma provided in the annex A of present document.
