I sent a message several hours ago requesting that you help and make
your working group aware that the NomCom is looking for input from the
community. This message had a minor error. The NomCom needs to
receive community input by November 11, 2012.

The full text of the corrected message is below
---------------------------------------------------

The IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom) continues to seek input from
the IETF Community. The NomCom would greatly appreciate any help you
could provide in making members of your working group aware of ways in
which they can provide valuable feedback to the NomCom.

In order to ensure that your input is received in time to be useful, the
NomCom needs to receive community feedback on or before Sunday, November 11.

The final list of candidates (as per RFC 5680) that the NomCom is
considering for open positions can be found at:
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/input/

The NomCom will be holding office hours during IETF 85, Monday-

Hi Carsten,

The problem you describe is cool. But in Lwig guidance document, I
remember there is a guidance saying we should avoid fragmentation if
we can. And also applications are also diet in 6lowpan, so I am not
sure the case we envision fragment problem.

The fact is that in Internet today only has very very few fragments,
due to the fact of MTU configuration/discovery and also TCP MSS
option. I donot the case of the internet of things though.

I think I am not the only lucky guy to have not witnessed any fragments:)

Thanks,
cz

Yes, but how do you do that if you don't know the fragment size?
Right now, you can only guess, and you'll likely try to guess =
conservatively, missing out on the opportunity to reasonably fill the =
packets.

Indeed, simple sensor readings/actuator settings are unlikely to trigger =
fragmentation.
Unfortunately, when the need for bulk data arises (firmware updates, =
configuration changes), it often is needed for many nodes in the =
network, which means the speed at which you can perform these operations =
at scale depends on the efficiency you can get.

Yes.  We have ways to find out the IP MTU and therefore mostly can avoid =
fragmentation if our protocols are set up for that.
My problem statement is that we can't do that at the adaptation layer.
We simply didn't provide a way to find out the fragment sizes for the =
adaptation layer.

> I think I am not the only lucky guy to have not witnessed any =

Lucky you :-)

Please have a look into the 6lowpan packet repository at
http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/wg/6lowpan/packets/
if you want to see 6LoWPAN fragmentation in action...

Hi, all,

Can someone summarize that to the list? I don't think I saw it.

There have been a lot of recent discussion on v6ops about fragmentation 
as well, notably on a recommendation they are considering to "drop all 
fragments" due to the overhead of processing any IPv6 options.

I claim:

a) if processing is an issue, then they could ask to recommend "drop 
IPv6 with any options", but dropping only fragments could easily require 
more extensive chained-header processing for routers

b) dropping all options isn't viable

Others have claimed that it's reasonable for a port filter device to 
drop all fragments and send back PTB messages. Here are my concerns with 
that approach:

- PTB messages themselves are already filtered by the same kind of 
operators who insist on routers doing port filtering

- sending PTB to a host that has fragmented might not help; if it 
could/wanted to adjust the TCP or UDP segment size, it would already 
have done so. since IPv6 fragmentation happens at the source, the likely 
result is just a lot of smaller fragments (which isn't useful)

I am now considering whether a port filter device may need to reassemble 
IPv6 fragments. IMO, if such a device isn't in a network location where 
such reassembly is reasonable (i.e., on behalf of a host whose entire 
traffic it controls), then port filtering there isn't reasonable anyway. 
Yes, such reassembly might be considered to violate RFC 2460, but so 
does "drop all fragments" or "drop any options". Arguably any device 
that checks port numbers is acting either as the destination or a proxy 
for the destination anyway.

That's advisable anywhere, and already in RFC 2460.

I'm not sure we're seeing the whole situation; fragments happen over 
tunnels too, many of which are secure and we might not be able to notice.

Dear Suresh,
Would you please update the audience with this answer
Question : We can save public key and do not need to use CGA-TSIG
Answer : An attacker can also copy that public key to his own packet and th=
en update the legitimate host Resource Records on DNS.  But CGA provides th=
is binding with the IP address thus preventing an attacker from doing that =
because the verification will fail. And if we plan to save the public/priva=
te keys manually, for each hosts that joins to the network, we return back =
to using TSIG with its manual process that this draft is supposed to solve.

Question: Just one IP is bound to one host name. What if the host has more =
than one IP address?
Answer: I will add a flag to CGA-TSIG that shows the number of IP addresses=
 this host has. For example, if hosta wants to update its RRs related to th=
e first IP address, then it sets that flag to 1 but if there is no matching=
 hostname on the DNS RR, it accepts that.

Finally I would like to ask for adoption of this draft in Intarea working g=
roup.

Thank you
Hosnieh

Only 6lowpan adaption is here in IETF, the MTU is 127 bytes, isn't it?

That is the physical layer MTU.

The specific combination of MAC layer overheads, adaptation layer =
overheads, and header compression gains can turn the actual initial =
fragment size number into anything roughly between 70 and 160 bytes.  =
Note that this is more than a factor of two.

Hosnieh,

> Would you please send me your comments on our draft (presentation =
today) to my email address, so that I can review them and provide you =
with answers.

Two suggestions/comments to you:

1. I would suggest that you add a section titled something like "Problem =
Statement" at the beginning after the Introduction and Conventions =
sections and before the "Algorithm Overview" that explains in more =
detail the problem you are trying to solve.   You have a bit of this in =
the Introduction and more in the "Security Considerations" section at =
the end, but I would suggest bringing it all together in a section that =
explains why people would use your proposal. You might want to have =
several sub-sections that enumerate different use cases (as you have =
done in the current Security Considerations section) and explain how =
CGA-TSIG would address those solutions.  You might also want to briefly =
note in here situations that are NOT solved by CGA-TSIG.

It seemed to me from listening to the IETF85 discussion that this point =
of what problem precisely you are trying to solve was hard for a number =
of people (myself included) to easily understand.

2. The section currently titled "Security Considerations" seems to =
actually be some of the potential use cases for CGA-TSIG.  In my view, =
this section should really be about security considerations *related to* =
your CGA-TSIG proposal.  I would suggest moving these use cases to the =
new section I suggest you create in my earlier point. =20

I would then suggest outlining in this Security Considerations section =
points such as:

- how can CGA-TSIG be attacked?
- can CGA-TSIG be spoofed?
- are there other network considerations that need to be in place for =
CGA-TSIG to be secure?=20
- do the use of these addresses provide any added privacy benefits?

I'm just making these questions up, but you get the idea.... if you =
think like an attacker, how can he or she break CGA-TSIG or potentially =
use it for nefarious purposes?

Regards,
Dan

Dear Dan,

Thanks alot for your suggestions. I am working on a new draft version which=
 will include your suggestions I will hopefully submit it after the
IETF is opened again for submissions.
For the attacks, as I am finalizing now the PowerDNS CGA-TSIG, I will test =
all known attacks againstn this implementation and publish the list of atta=
cks that it can prevent and the possible attcaks that it cannot prevent.

Thank you,
Hosnieh

Subject: Re: Please send me your comments (CGA-TSIG)

Hosnieh,

Would you please send me your comments on our draft (presentation today) to=
 my email address, so that I can review them and provide you with answers.

Two suggestions/comments to you:

1. I would suggest that you add a section titled something like "Problem St=
atement" at the beginning after the Introduction and Conventions sections a=
nd before the "Algorithm Overview" that explains in more detail the problem=
 you are trying to solve.   You have a bit of this in the Introduction and =
more in the "Security Considerations" section at the end, but I would sugge=
st bringing it all together in a section that explains why people would use=
 your proposal. You might want to have several sub-sections that enumerate =
different use cases (as you have done in the current Security Consideration=
s section) and explain how CGA-TSIG would address those solutions.  You mig=
ht also want to briefly note in here situations that are NOT solved by CGA-=
TSIG.

It seemed to me from listening to the IETF85 discussion that this point of =
what problem precisely you are trying to solve was hard for a number of peo=
ple (myself included) to easily understand.

2. The section currently titled "Security Considerations" seems to actually=
 be some of the potential use cases for CGA-TSIG.  In my view, this section=
 should really be about security considerations *related to* your CGA-TSIG =
proposal.  I would suggest moving these use cases to the new section I sugg=
est you create in my earlier point.

I would then suggest outlining in this Security Considerations section poin=
ts such as:

- how can CGA-TSIG be attacked?
- can CGA-TSIG be spoofed?
- are there other network considerations that need to be in place for CGA-T=
SIG to be secure?
- do the use of these addresses provide any added privacy benefits?

I'm just making these questions up, but you get the idea.... if you think l=
ike an attacker, how can he or she break CGA-TSIG or potentially use it for=
 nefarious purposes?

Regards,
Dan

Thanks to Julian, Suresh and others for all their comments on my presentati=
on. Following are the answers to the questions raised and, hopefully, this =
will  clarify the main purpose of this draft:
- A comment was made that DHCP can update the clients' DNS records on behal=
f of the clients so they see any no reason for this draft as DHCPv6 can upd=
ate the DNS records for the clients on behalf of them.
Here we are talking about another IPv6 addressing mechanism, i.e., Neighbor=
 Discovery Protocol (RFC 4861) and not DHCPv6.
NDP is a new addressing mechanism included in the IPv6 suite that functions=
 like ARP, discovering other neighbor nodes, ICMP, and address configuratio=
n automatically. By default, all operating systems support this functionali=
ty and, for windows, it is the default method of addressing.
- Why do some administrators prefer to use NDP instead of DHCPv6?
With NDP no DHCP server configuration is required.
- Usage of NDP protocol
All kinds of networks like campus, companies whether they are public and pr=
ivate
- How can a client or a server in IPv6 networks set its IP address using ND=
P
When you connect your computer to an IPv6 network, your computer generates =
its IP address automatically and then processes duplicate address detection=
 by using 5 types of ICMPv6 messages. Your computer also sets its global ad=
dress by using the router advertisement. The administrator just needs to en=
able NDP on his router and configure it to advertise his available prefixes=
. It is a great way to manage the network.
- The problem with NDP WAS (solved now)
Before, it did not support the DNS option and it took the DNS information f=
rom the DHCP server, BUT NOW, according to a new extension to NDP, in RFC 6=
106, the router advertisement contains the DNS information also so there is=
 no need for DHCP server configuration.
What is the problem now in this local network - what gap CGA-TSIG fills
Briefly:
It provides local security in IPv6 networks without the need for extra conf=
iguration as it uses the current security parameters and mechanism availabl=
e on this network, i.e., SEND.  When node addresses change over time in IPv=
6 networks for privacy reasons, CGA-TSIG provides the necessary security in=
 IPv6 networks for the DNS authentication process. This solution works very=
 well in local networks, but also is applicable in global networks.
- Local security is an important issue: In IPv6 networks that use NDP, ther=
e is no central server available to perform the updates to DNS records on b=
ehalf of the client. As local security is important, as well as global secu=
rity, CGA-TSIG provides a solution for the automation of this process and a=
llows for client authentication with DNS servers as well as the ability to =
update their own records.
The question that might arise here is, why local security is important?:
The answer here is the same as that provided for the use of SEcure Neighbor=
 Discovery in IPv6 networks. Many attacks are internal and not via the Inte=
rnet. When, because of flaws or viruses or..., a host in a network is infec=
ted that gives the attacker control of that host the role of local security=
 is highlighted. In this case the attacker is inside your network and using=
 the legitimate nodes inside your network for their malicious purposes. The=
refore, if you just think about global security, you have just partly secur=
ed your network!
If we also consider the case where the host's generates their IP address an=
d keep it as long as it is connected to the same network. When this legitim=
ate node, for the first time, join to a network, if TSIG or other security =
mechanisms are used, the administrator needs to generate this shared secret=
 so that it is only shared between this host and the DNS server. Thus CGA-T=
SIG reduces this task, while at the same time, provides the security necess=
ary for DNS servers and clients.
- Privacy is the second or another important issue: In Europe, privacy is a=
 very important issue. An example of that is in Germany that the ISPs are f=
orced to change their range of IP addresses frequently. In this case, for e=
very change, the administrators of the sub-networks, using these ISPs, need=
 to reconfigure their clients and servers to again use the security mechani=
sm for authentication purposes. CGA-TSIG is the solution. It can provide th=
is authentication without the need for more configuration
- Global security: the same approach is applicable for authentication purpo=
ses among the DNS servers on the Internet if they are under the privacy rul=
es that force them to change their ISP's prefix, as was explained in my fir=
st point
Finally : DNS serves or clients only need use the cached CGA data and do no=
t need to regenerate CGA! This is an important point because only a few cha=
nges need be made  to the current implementation of DNS server.
I will provide you with the list of more attacks later.  Some of the attack=
s that CGA-TSIG can prevent are found in Security consideration section at =
the following link:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-00#section-4
I welcome all questions and comments that can help to clear up the purpose =
of this draft. Thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,

Dave,
1) Having the DHCP server do dynamic update is not necessarily just for add=
resses allocated by DHCP.
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-addr-registration-01 which is=
 a DHC WG draft.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Please check the consideration section of the=
 draft you referred to. The stated approach is prone to attacks as it is so=
lely about an extra management efforts and not security approaches. To prev=
ent the attacks it also stated using SEND.
Now the question is, when you want to use SEND to secure your local network=
, my approach is also applicable and better fits than TSIG itself as you do=
 not need to generate public private keys, CGA and you use the same value a=
vailable there.
DHCPv6 is only useful when you would like to have more management and admin=
istration control on your network. But, if you only want to know who used w=
hich address, you do not need to go to extra configuration , you need just =
a passive monitoring system in the network to sniff all ICMPv6 unsolicited =
Neighbor advertisement packets and delete them from the monitoring database=
 if receive no more NA messages from that node. (frequently nodes update th=
eir cache and send NA)
2- Is not true.   DNS information is not the only information obtained thro=
ugh DHCP, it's a general purpose mechanism
through which many things are, and can be, obtained.   It is a bad idea to =
try to pollute RAs with such information
(for one, you're limited to the MTU in RAs).  See RFC 5505 section 2.3 for =
some more discussion.
DNS information is just an information missing in NDP. For addressing not m=
ore option is required for a node. I am not quite understand and convinced =
that why every time you change the talk to DHCPv6. I am talking about the n=
etworks where SEND is used and not DHCPv6. I do not have any discussion abo=
ut whether or not the DNS options in RAs is the best.

3- RFC 6434 section 6 even states
"Hosts will need to decide which mechanism (or whether both) should be
implemented."
The fact that we actually have two mechanisms is a bad thing.
This is why based on the network requirements, administrator can choose whi=
ch one to use.
3) The main feedback some of us provided is that the proposal would be far =
more
widely applicable and useful if it just passed a public key and used the le=
ap of faith
model like SSH, rather than narrowing the use case significantly and depend=
ing on
implementation of CGA, which isn't really implemented/deployed in practice =
today.
It is not true. Please check this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secu=
re_Neighbor_Discovery_Protocol .
And about using SSH, It might be a good solution to this problem (but so ge=
neral) that if you like we can work on that on a separate draft together.
The CGA-TSIG focused on a solution to this problem in IPv6 network when usi=
ng SEND in local security. I am not agree with you in this sentence " it is=
 far applicable ", because when for the local security you use SEND you can=
 easily use this approach without any configuration for your clients side.
Thank you,
Hosnieh
P.S. I also included DANE WG.

Subject: [Int-area] (CGA-TSIG) answers to some of the comments

Thanks to Julian, Suresh and others for all their comments on my presentati=
on. Following are the answers to the questions raised and, hopefully, this =
will  clarify the main purpose of this draft:
- A comment was made that DHCP can update the clients' DNS records on behal=
f of the clients so they see any no reason for this draft as DHCPv6 can upd=
ate the DNS records for the clients on behalf of them.
Here we are talking about another IPv6 addressing mechanism, i.e., Neighbor=
 Discovery Protocol (RFC 4861) and not DHCPv6.
NDP is a new addressing mechanism included in the IPv6 suite that functions=
 like ARP, discovering other neighbor nodes, ICMP, and address configuratio=
n automatically. By default, all operating systems support this functionali=
ty and, for windows, it is the default method of addressing.
- Why do some administrators prefer to use NDP instead of DHCPv6?
With NDP no DHCP server configuration is required.
- Usage of NDP protocol
All kinds of networks like campus, companies whether they are public and pr=
ivate
- How can a client or a server in IPv6 networks set its IP address using ND=
P
When you connect your computer to an IPv6 network, your computer generates =
its IP address automatically and then processes duplicate address detection=
 by using 5 types of ICMPv6 messages. Your computer also sets its global ad=
dress by using the router advertisement. The administrator just needs to en=
able NDP on his router and configure it to advertise his available prefixes=
. It is a great way to manage the network.
- The problem with NDP WAS (solved now)
Before, it did not support the DNS option and it took the DNS information f=
rom the DHCP server, BUT NOW, according to a new extension to NDP, in RFC 6=
106, the router advertisement contains the DNS information also so there is=
 no need for DHCP server configuration.
What is the problem now in this local network - what gap CGA-TSIG fills
Briefly:
It provides local security in IPv6 networks without the need for extra conf=
iguration as it uses the current security parameters and mechanism availabl=
e on this network, i.e., SEND.  When node addresses change over time in IPv=
6 networks for privacy reasons, CGA-TSIG provides the necessary security in=
 IPv6 networks for the DNS authentication process. This solution works very=
 well in local networks, but also is applicable in global networks.
- Local security is an important issue: In IPv6 networks that use NDP, ther=
e is no central server available to perform the updates to DNS records on b=
ehalf of the client. As local security is important, as well as global secu=
rity, CGA-TSIG provides a solution for the automation of this process and a=
llows for client authentication with DNS servers as well as the ability to =
update their own records.
The question that might arise here is, why local security is important?:
The answer here is the same as that provided for the use of SEcure Neighbor=
 Discovery in IPv6 networks. Many attacks are internal and not via the Inte=
rnet. When, because of flaws or viruses or..., a host in a network is infec=
ted that gives the attacker control of that host the role of local security=
 is highlighted. In this case the attacker is inside your network and using=
 the legitimate nodes inside your network for their malicious purposes. The=
refore, if you just think about global security, you have just partly secur=
ed your network!
If we also consider the case where the host's generates their IP address an=
d keep it as long as it is connected to the same network. When this legitim=
ate node, for the first time, join to a network, if TSIG or other security =
mechanisms are used, the administrator needs to generate this shared secret=
 so that it is only shared between this host and the DNS server. Thus CGA-T=
SIG reduces this task, while at the same time, provides the security necess=
ary for DNS servers and clients.
- Privacy is the second or another important issue: In Europe, privacy is a=
 very important issue. An example of that is in Germany that the ISPs are f=
orced to change their range of IP addresses frequently. In this case, for e=
very change, the administrators of the sub-networks, using these ISPs, need=
 to reconfigure their clients and servers to again use the security mechani=
sm for authentication purposes. CGA-TSIG is the solution. It can provide th=
is authentication without the need for more configuration
- Global security: the same approach is applicable for authentication purpo=
ses among the DNS servers on the Internet if they are under the privacy rul=
es that force them to change their ISP's prefix, as was explained in my fir=
st point
Finally : DNS serves or clients only need use the cached CGA data and do no=
t need to regenerate CGA! This is an important point because only a few cha=
nges need be made  to the current implementation of DNS server.
I will provide you with the list of more attacks later.  Some of the attack=
s that CGA-TSIG can prevent are found in Security consideration section at =
the following link:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-00#section-4
I welcome all questions and comments that can help to clear up the purpose =
of this draft. Thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
Hosnieh

Chris,

I am a little confused of the "loops"  you stated at the microphone about t=
he scheme described in "draft-nachum-sarp-03" at the InterArea WG session i=
n Atlanta.

The draft assumes that there is some type of loop prevention mechanism in p=
lace (be it RSTP/STP, SPB-M, TRILL, or IS-IS) to prevent loops for Ethernet=
 data frames which don't have TTL.

The same mechanism should prevent the loops of ARP/ND frames.

Can you draw a scenario on how/why the loop prevention mechanism for Ethern=
et data frames won't work for ARP/ND frames?


Thank you very much.

Linda Dunbar

Suresh and Julien,

When the "draft-nachum-sarp-02" was presented at InterArea WG in 84th IETF,=
 the feedback was that the draft needs to be updated to include the process=
ing for IPv6.

So we updated the draft to include the processing of ND for IPv6.

When the revised draft (draft-nachum-sarp-03) was presented at the InterAre=
a WG in 85th IETF, there are several people saying there is no problems for=
 IPv6 ND, therefore it shouldn't be optimized.

Even though that IPv6 ND uses multicast instead broadcast, IPv6 ND does hav=
e scalability issues in Data Center when hosts within same subnet are sprea=
d across different access switches, and when there are lot of those subnets=
. In particular:

*        when hosts within the same subnet are spread across multiple switc=
hes (or GWs in the draft), the ND solicitation still go to all switches whi=
ch might have the same subnet hosts attached. The traffic across GWs are sa=
me as IPv4's ARP.  The only difference is that hosts impact is reduced.



*        When host "a" needs to communicate with host "b" in different subn=
et, "a" needs to send "Neighbor Solicitation" to L2/L3 boundary router, (ju=
st the same way as IPv4 ARP).
When there are many subnets spreading across many access switches, the L2/L=
3 boundary router has to enable all those subnets on many of its ports/link=
s.

When the first "a"-> "b" data frame arrives at the boundary router, the bou=
ndary router has to "hold the data frame" and send a "Neighbor Solicitation=
" to all links which has the subnet for "b" enabled. The boundary router ma=
y need to send "NS" multiple times until it can make sure the target "b" ex=
ists before sending down the data frame from "a". This process is not only =
CPU intensive, but also takes buffer.



We need your advice on how to move this draft forward.

Thank you very much.

Linda

Way overdue promised feedback for draft-carpenter-flow-label-balancing-01 -=
 from IETF '84.



Here are some broader thoughts:

The biggest limitation in implementing this, as a vendor, is understanding =
a) how widely adopted the flow label is currently and b) the actual entropy=
 we're seeing in the wild.  If you have any data on adoption or samplings o=
f v6 packet headers that might demonstrate it is in use, this would be usef=
ul information to include.  Do we know if off the shelf stacks are implemen=
ting this now?  Or implementing it correctly?   "Correct" usage would also =
be a concern.  Since this is not a part of the compliance and certification=
 tests and 6437 is a newer RFC, I would have concerns about the correct usa=
ge of this field.



Another implementation assumption that may or may not affect its usefulness=
 is the guarantee that the flow label is not changed.  There is concern tha=
t intermediate nodes - perhaps full proxies or FW's might indeed be rewriti=
ng or using the flow label for other purposes.  Despite the admonition, som=
e might read it as only applying to stateless forwarding nodes.   Any of th=
ese cases would break the LB's flow assumptions and break that flow essenti=
ally.  Something that might be interesting to address is any possible heuri=
stics to detect this condition and "fall back" to standard flow association=
 algorithms.



Specific notes and feedback:



Should you might want to reference RFC 6294.  I guess it doesn't say much a=
bout LB but seems a gap in any case.



Section 4:

      "Note that balancers usually do not need to consider the
      destination address as it is always the same, i.e., the server
      address."

Well, this is not entirely true.  LB's can be servicing different types of =
servers or pools of servers or services behind the LB.  If this is a core a=
ssumption behind the rest of the document or section, you may need to addre=
ss this.  If this is not a core assumption - in other words if the rest of =
the section does not rely on this assumption, then you may not need to make=
 this assertion.  I'd be interested in a discussion of what cases an LB may=
 benefit from the 3-tuple instead of just the 2-tuple.  Perhaps none, but t=
he assertion above leads me ask.



I would pull out and address the NAT question in a separate paragraph.  I'm=
 wondering if it is worth providing guidance to NAT designers here.  I also=
 wouldn't be so dismissive of NAT66.  While I don't disagree that currently=
 the use-cases are not compelling, the IPv6 use-cases are still growing and=
 people come up with new and interesting applications that continue to surp=
rise.



Summary:

Is it worth pursuing?  Perhaps - it is an interesting summary of ideas and =
a good reminder of this field but I'm not sure if this draft brings anythin=
g particularly new to the table.  It simply condenses it into a given use-c=
ase.  Perhaps it has interop value if it also reinforces or documents curre=
nt practices and the behavior required by 6437 such that we get more consis=
tency in stack implementations and flow-label usage.



Which area?  I'm not sure.  Perhaps Transport but I can't quite judge that.

I hope this was helpful.  My apologies for taking so long.
Julia Renouard

This is not true. If the switches are MLD snooping then the packets will
not be sent to irrelevant GWs/switches.

Correct. But only the router gets it. Not all the other hosts in the
subnet (which is the case for ARP).

This is purely an implementation issue. I know of several router
implementations where this is not the case.

(Chair hat off) I personally find the IPv6 ND motivations to be lacking.
I think the draft needs a better description of the ND related issues
that are not stated in the armd problem statement.

[Linda] For those GWs which has Hosts belonging to a particular subnet, the=
 multicast for the subnet will reach all those GWs.=20

[Linda] This is the standard setting. When you have one subnet spanning ove=
r 20 server racks, with each rack reaching the L2/L3 boundary router via di=
fferent links, the subnet has to be enabled on all those 20 ports.=20


Why do you say it is implementation issue?

Julia,

Many thanks for the review.

Very little. That's why the idea is that the flow label should
be included as part of the entropy but can only become the main
component over time. It's a chicken and egg problem.

> and b) the actual entropy we're seeing in the wild.

As it happens I've done some work related to this as part of
suggesting a hash algorithm better than the appendix of RFC
6437: https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/13240

Basically, no. These things take time to propagate. If load
balancers are known to support it, this will help propagation.

You also have to consider what would be the consequences of
incorrect use.
(1) flow label set to zero: no impact on header entropy.
(2) flow label set to a not-well-distributed value: partial
improvement in header entropy.
(3) flow label set inconsistently within a given flow: breakage.
But this would pretty much have to be malicious.

I agree, and that is also true for (3) above, so I think some
such heuristics are needed anyway. However, that's so bound up
in the design of a specific load balancer that I'm not sure what
can be said in general.

As general background, sure. I find that in some ways to be the
most depressing RFC I've written ;-).

Yes, maybe it's just a distraction to mention this.

Fair enough. I think the main purpose of the document is to make
people like you consider the issue - the IETF can't tell vendors
what to do, after all.

Yes, it's a topic whose place in the IETF is unclear.

*Very* helpful, and no apology needed.

Hello,

Just a few observations after reviewing this:

1) RFC3972 ("CGA") specifies that the modifier should be 64 bits and the co=
llision count eight bits, yet I notice in Figure 2 it specifies a 16 bit mo=
difier and a 1 bit collision count. Can you explain why you chose to implem=
ent this differently?
2) In your implementation of the protocol you call for DAD but it does not =
mention (or maybe I just can't find) what do re: collision count if a dupli=
cate address is detected. Further, in 3.2.1.2 I don't see a step to verify =
this number as per CGA. I'm assuming you're to follow the specs from CGA bu=
t you may want to be specific regarding this.
3) In 3.1 step 5 you may want to be clear that bits seven and eight should =
be set to zero.
4) In 3.2.1.2, step 2, Check Time Signed, your window seems very short give=
n typical retransmission timeouts and the like.=20
5) 3.2.1.2 step 5, Verify the signature, I don't see exact method you want =
used in this protocol to accomplish this.=20

Just an overall note, and this likely has more to do with me that you, I'm =
a bit confused as to how this would functionally integrate on a host using =
a CGA. Would you actually be running these algorithms again just for the pu=
rpose of sending a DNS update or would you be layering on top of the existi=
ng IP stack and using the existing CGA functionality?

Thanks,

Title:		 Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) using CGA Algorithm in IPv6
Creation date:	 2012-10-15
WG ID:		 Individual Submission
Number of pages: 13
URL:             http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rafiee-intarea-c=

Abstract:
   The first step of Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) (RFC 2845) is to
   generate a shared secret and exchange it manually between a DNS
   server and a host. This document, CGA-TSIG, proposes a possible way
   to automate the now manual process for the authentication of a node
   with a DNS server during the DNS Update process by using the same
   parameters as are used in generating a secure address in IPv6
   networks, i.e., Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) (RFC
   3972). CGA-TSIG facilitates this authentication process and reduces
   the time needed for DNS Updates. The current signature generation
   process and verification mechanism in TSIG are thus replaced with
   CGA. This algorithm is added, as an extension, to TSIG to eliminate
   the human intervention needed for generation and exchange of keys
   between a DNS server and a host when SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND)
   (RFC 3971) is used.

                                                                           =

Dear Joshua,
Thank you so much for your comments. Please find the answer below.

>1) RFC3972 ("CGA") specifies that the modifier should be 64 bits and the c=
ollision count eight bits, yet I notice in Figure 2 it specifies a 16 bit m=
odifier and a 1 bit collision count. Can you explain why you chose to imple=
ment this differently?
- No, that was a typo. It will be corrected in the updated version that I w=
ill submit this weekend


2) In your implementation of the protocol you call for DAD but it does not =
mention (or maybe I just can't find) what do re: collision count if a dupli=
cate address is detected. Further, in 3.2.1.2 I don't see a step to verify =
this number as per CGA. I'm assuming you're to follow the specs from CGA bu=
t you may want to be specific regarding this.

- After I implemented this draft RFC, I noticed that the values must be cac=
hed and the DNS server should not be involved in generating CGA values or b=
e involved in addressing. So, this section is for the SEND implementation i=
nstalled on a DNS server or a client. In my new draft this section will als=
o be updated.

3) In 3.1 step 5 you may want to be clear that bits seven and eight should =
be set to zero.

-I will correct it and included in my update version.

4) In 3.2.1.2, step 2, Check Time Signed, your window seems very short give=
n typical retransmission timeouts and the like.=20

- I will examine my implemenation on a larger scale to see what the delay w=
ill be and will update the document accordingly.

5) 3.2.1.2 step 5, Verify the signature, I don't see exact method you want =
used in this protocol to accomplish this.

- Please clarify this question. As you probably know, the signature verific=
ation function uses a minimum of 2 values; the plaintext and the signature =
itself.  The default algorithm here is RSA. This is what I meant when I sai=
d signature verification. The DNS server retreives all the plaintext conten=
ts (CGA parameters, time signed, DNS update) of the signature and also the =
signature itself and then verfies this signature using the RSA algorithm. T=
he result is a boolean value.=20
=20
Joshua >Would you actually be running these algorithms again just for the p=

- No, just data cached in the server. The current SEND implementation would=
 cache this data when the server or a client wants to generate a new IP add=
ress using SEND. CGA-TSIG is an application layer protocol.=20
Joshua >would you be layering on top of the existing IP stack and using the=

Yes

Best,

Thanks for your responses.

Speaking of typos, the modifier is actually 128 bits not 64 as I stated ;).

Regarding 4), Check Time Signed, if you look at a widely used standard like=
 Kerberos, it calls for a rough clock sync of 5 minutes. For the purposes o=
f anti-replay prevention (which I believe this step in your protocol is des=
igned to thwart?) it seems to provide good security without causing too man=
y issues (but you still do get clients with errors popping up from time to =
time). Lastly regarding 5), signature, that's fine, you just may want to be=
 specific that RSASSA-PSS (or something else) should be used rather than le=
aving it up to interpretation or preference, which may cause interoperabili=
ty issues. Just a suggestion.

Thanks,

Dear Joshua,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

.
Yes I understand. It was a mistake. In my implementation I did not make thi=
s funny mistake but it seems in writing I did :-)
If I can update my RFC (currently having formatting issue for uploading...)=
 then the new version will hopefully be free of these kinds of mistakes.

I clarified this in new version.

Maybe somebody can give me a suggestion... I actually wrote a Web applicati=
on that should aid in formatting RFC (maybe also later useful for others as=
 it will be available public on my website). It works fine and generates a =
nice txt version with the required tags but when I want to submit this draf=
t I receive meta-data error and it cannot retreive the authors' names. I co=
mpared the output of my application with the one that does not have any pro=
blem in different formats such as  ASCII, but I could not find any special =
characters or any problem that cause this failure result.=20
I look forward to receiving any help I can get to make this application gen=
erate a file that is acceptable for automatic process submission. (If I kne=
w what the IETF parser was looking for, I could add it to my application to=
 make it work. But I could not find anything anywhere)

Best,
Hosnieh

Thanks for your responses.

Speaking of typos, the modifier is actually 128 bits not 64 as I stated ;).

Dear Joshua,
Thank you so much for your comments. Please find the answer below.

>1) RFC3972 ("CGA") specifies that the modifier should be 64 bits and the c=
ollision count eight bits, yet I notice in Figure 2 it specifies a 16 bit m=
odifier and a 1 bit collision count. Can you explain why you chose to imple=
ment this differently?
- No, that was a typo. It will be corrected in the updated version that I w=
ill submit this weekend


2) In your implementation of the protocol you call for DAD but it does not =
mention (or maybe I just can't find) what do re: collision count if a dupli=
cate address is detected. Further, in 3.2.1.2 I don't see a step to verify =
this number as per CGA. I'm assuming you're to follow the specs from CGA bu=
t you may want to be specific regarding this.

- After I implemented this draft RFC, I noticed that the values must be cac=
hed and the DNS server should not be involved in generating CGA values or b=
e involved in addressing. So, this section is for the SEND implementation i=
nstalled on a DNS server or a client. In my new draft this section will als=
o be updated.

3) In 3.1 step 5 you may want to be clear that bits seven and eight should =
be set to zero.

-I will correct it and included in my update version.

4) In 3.2.1.2, step 2, Check Time Signed, your window seems very short give=
n typical retransmission timeouts and the like.=20

- I will examine my implemenation on a larger scale to see what the delay w=
ill be and will update the document accordingly.

5) 3.2.1.2 step 5, Verify the signature, I don't see exact method you want =
used in this protocol to accomplish this.

- Please clarify this question. As you probably know, the signature verific=
ation function uses a minimum of 2 values; the plaintext and the signature =
itself.  The default algorithm here is RSA. This is what I meant when I sai=
d signature verification. The DNS server retreives all the plaintext conten=
ts (CGA parameters, time signed, DNS update) of the signature and also the =
signature itself and then verfies this signature using the RSA algorithm. T=
he result is a boolean value.=20
=20
Joshua >Would you actually be running these algorithms again just for the p=
urpose of sending a DNS update or=20
- No, just data cached in the server. The current SEND implementation would=
 cache this data when the server or a client wants to generate a new IP add=
ress using SEND. CGA-TSIG is an application layer protocol.=20
Joshua >would you be layering on top of the existing IP stack and using the=
 existing CGA functionality?
Yes

Best,
Hosnieh

The idnits source code is available at 
http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/  You might try asking on 
tools-discuss ( https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tools-discuss 
).  I am not sure whether it is off-topic for that mailing list.

The NSs are NOT multicasted to the subnet. They are sent to a solicited
node multicast address that is formed from the last 24 bits of the IPv6
address. So only network segments that have nodes with matching 24 last
bits in the address would get these messages when MLD snooping switches
are present.

Because it is :-). As an example, if you take an fat tree architecture,
the number of access switch ports on a subnet is not directly related to
the number of ports on the L3 gateway that are on the same subnet.

For the following network, if one subnet (regardless IPv4 or IPv6) have hos=
ts in all server racks, the L2/L3 has to enable the subnet on links (or por=
ts) to all the access switches (ToRs).=20

Then the IPv6's ND for the subnet will be flooded to all links. It is the s=
ame problem as IPv4 ARP. How IPv6 ND scale better than IPv4's ARP?

At the risk of repeating myself. NO, the ND message will not be flooded
to all the links. It is multicast to a solicited node multicast address
(ff02::1:ffxx:xxxx) and the ND message is only sent to the links where
there is at least one node that has joined this multicast group.

As I said above, if your switch implementation(s) do not support MLD
snooping, then you will have an issue. In that case, the right fix is to
add MLD snooping functionality into the switch.

Suresh,=20

Are you saying that router has to send out MLD Query for all potential ND m=
ulticast addresses and keep up state for listeners for all those multicast =
addresses?=20

There could be millions of "Solicited-Node multicast addresses". That is a =
lot of processing on routers.=20

Hi Linda,

Nope. Only for those solicited node multicast groups that have at least
one host on the subnet join.

Not sure that I follow. Do you have millions of hosts on the subnet? If
not, I do not see why you have to keep track of "millions of solicited
node multicast addresses".

Thanks
Suresh

Suresh,

"solicited node multicast address" is formed by taking the low-order 24 bit=
s of target address (unicast or anycast) and appending those bits to the pr=
efix FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF00::/104

Routers don't know ahead of time what hosts are present in their Layer 2 do=
main. In DC with virtual machines added/deleted consistently, there could b=
e millions of possibilities.

What multicast addresses should router send out MLD Query?

What you are proposing is like using MLD snooping to achieve ND function, w=
hich doesn't scale.

Linda

Linda,

The router periodically sends out a general query to which nodes
replies to with a report of their multicast listening state. Also,
when a node interface is configured with an IPv6 address, the node
spontaneously sends a report for the solicited-node multicast address
corresponding to the IPv6 address configured.

So routers don't have to know anything ahead of time. And same goes
for MLD-snooping switches.

Hi Linda,=20
(also noting some overlap with Julien's response)

The MLDv1 (RFC2710) or v2 (RFC3810) Querier sends out a general query R tim=
es (where R is the reliability factor for the link), which requests that al=
l devices respond.  This goes to all-nodes multicast ff02::1, and the desit=
nation of the query doesn't have to match recipients (all of which listen t=
o that multicast group).

This scales with responses on order N x R where N is the number of nodes.

If a router needs to manage a particular stream, it can send a specific que=
ry to one of the multicast addresses, particularly to verify that participa=
nts.

The router doesn't actually need to track the solicited nodes multicast add=
resses, as these are link-local scoped and not multicast routed off-link.

Actually in conformance with RFC 6398/BCP 168 (IP Router Alert Consideratio=
ns and Usage)/RFC 6192 (Protecting the Router Control Plane) it is feasible=
 to construct filters which ignore MLD report messages which only contain L=
ink-local scoped multicast groups on the router.  With the correct hardware=
 support, this can be done at the line interface, without CPU processing.  =
The default is to pass all MLD reports up to the Router though.

Arguably, the only reason to send MLD Join messages for Solicited Nodes' mu=
lticast addresses _is_ to support MLD snooping switches.

Please note that MLD snooping is an LRU caching scheme, where the cache is =
refreshed for all active users through the background polling of the MLD qu=
erier.   The switches do not need to know anything ahead of time.   Devices=
 which do not respond to the query will be dropped from the cache, and only=
 the number of active hosts will be retained.

If you changed the IP addresses of every host on the link within a single q=
uery interval, the maximum number of Solicited nodes addresses cached by an=
 MLD snooping network would be:

^A x N x 2=20

Where:

The original  the number of addresses is ^A x N=20
and ^A is the mean number of addresses per host, and N is the number of hos=
ts on the link.=20

Sincerely

Greg Daley

Abstract:
   The first step in the Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) (RFC 2845) process
   is the generation of a shared secret to be used between a DNS server
   and a host. The second step is the manual exchange of the shared
   secret between the DNS server and the host. This document, CGA-TSIG,
   proposes a possible way to automate the now manual process used for
   the authentication of a node with a DNS server during the DNS Update
   process by using the same parameters as are used in generating a
   secure address in IPv6 networks, i.e., Cryptographically Generated
   Addresses (CGA) (RFC 3972). CGA-TSIG facilitates this authentication
   process and reduces the time needed for DNS Updates. The current
   signature generation process and verification mechanism in TSIG are
   thus replaced with CGA. This algorithm is added, as an extension, to
   TSIG to eliminate the human intervention needed for generation and
   exchange of keys between a DNS server and a host when SEcure Neighbor
   Discovery (SEND) (RFC 3971) is used.

Greg,=20

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.=20

As for Router sending MLD query to all-nodes multicast ff02::1, if Explicit=
 Tracing is not turned on, routers usually don't keep all the host IP addre=
sses attached to each port/link, does it?=20
If the ToR switches has MLD proxy, it could suppress reports from some IP h=
osts. Then, the Router may not receive MLD reports from all hosts attached =
to one port.=20

Under this scenario,  when a host "a" sends Neighbor Solicitation multicast=
 to "b", router may not know which link "b" is attached. As the result rout=
er could flood all the ports which has the subnet enabled.=20

The MLD with Explicit Tracking being turned on can make router be refreshed=
 with all hosts in the domain. That can definitely scope the ND multicast.=
=20
However, MLD with Explicit Tracking could be very resource intensive.=20

"draft-nachum-sarp" gives another approach to scope the ND multicast and al=
leviates the burden on router when subnets are spread across multiple links=
/ToRs.=20

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts director=
ies.
 This draft is a work item of the Internet Area Working Group Working Group=
 of the IETF.

	Title           : Updated Specification of the IPv4 ID Field
	Author(s)       : Joe Touch
	Filename        : draft-ietf-intarea-ipv4-id-update-07.txt
	Pages           : 19
	Date            : 2012-11-27

Abstract:
   The IPv4 Identification (ID) field enables fragmentation and
   reassembly, and as currently specified is required to be unique
   within the maximum lifetime for all datagrams with a given
   source/destination/protocol tuple. If enforced, this uniqueness
   requirement would limit all connections to 6.4 Mbps. Because
   individual connections commonly exceed this speed, it is clear that
   existing systems violate the current specification. This document
   updates the specification of the IPv4 ID field in RFC791, RFC1122,
   and RFC2003 to more closely reflect current practice and to more
   closely match IPv6 so that the field's value is defined only when a
   datagram is actually fragmented. It also discusses the impact of
   these changes on how datagrams are used.
