One could also have eg a multicast NTP setup (FF0X::101) and using
source filtering mention that you do not want traffic from certain NTP
sources, or a specific address which can be used for a video conference
chat, using the source address for the quality of the stream etc, eg:
2001:db8::1 =3D 1mbit stream, 2001:db8::64 =3D 64mbit stream, or some
similar scheme, thus it has some value for IPv6 too, but indeed for IPv4
it is yet another prolongation.

 perhaps.

Agreed, but maybe to keep in sync with the ND idea, it would be better
to do it anyway in case someone sets up a default, or ff0x::/8 unicast
route towards another router, as most unicast routers will then simply
handle this as a unicast packet and route it along. Someone could then
craft a packet with a 4 hoplimit, being 3 router hops away and be able
to inject a MLD packet into your network. The 255 hoplimit allows one to
at least check if the packet really came from the local network,
otherwise it will be <255, just like in ND. afaik some BGP
implementations also started doing this trick to make sure that the
packet really is from the local net and not coming in over some spoofed
source in a far far away country.

Greets,
 Jeroen

Hi, 

  I have the following query regarding IPv6 Over ATM PVC operation
(rfc2492).

  I would appreciate if someone could answer the same.

 

 Query -

===== 

RFC does not clearly mention what to fill as the Source/Target

Link Layer address in the Source/Target Link Layer options 

of IND (Inverse ND) messages. 

 

Also, there is no mention of any reference document which

covers the same.

 

All that is said is [Section 3. PVC Environments] - 

 

"Since ATM PVC links do not use link-layer addresses, the link-layer

address options SHOULD not be included in any ND message [11].  If a

link-layer address option is present in an ND message, then the

option SHOULD be ignored."

 

Does this mean that we zero fill the Link Layer address in Source/Target 

Link Layer options of the IND messages?

 

This information must be clearly mentioned to avoid interoperability issues.


 

 

Thanks for your time,

Rgds,

arvind

It's also a means of some DoS mitigation for abritrary one-to-many
multicast applications (in that arbitrary sources can no longer flood
the group-id). To my mind the advantages of source-filtering are equally
critical in IPv6 as in IPv4. Mitigating some address exhaustion is just
a nice benefit.

Subject: Query:IPv6 Over ATM PVC Operation


Hi,=20
  I have the following query regarding IPv6 Over ATM PVC operation =
(rfc2492).
  I would appreciate if someone could answer the same.

 Query -
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
RFC does not clearly mention what to fill as the Source/Target
Link Layer address in the Source/Target Link Layer options=20
of IND (Inverse ND) messages.=20

Also, there is no mention of any reference document which
covers the same.

All that is said is [Section 3. PVC Environments] -=20

"Since ATM PVC links do not use link-layer addresses, the link-layer
address options SHOULD not be included in any ND message [11].  If a
link-layer address option is present in an ND message, then the
option SHOULD be ignored."

=3D=3D>  It may be confusing after reading RFC3122 (inverse ND) which =
requires it as part of the=20
     solicitation (src and dst LL address) and reply (target LL =
address).
     but since PVC in "permanent" its not needed (?!)
 =20
Does this mean that we zero fill the Link Layer address in Source/Target =

Link Layer options of the IND messages?

This information must be clearly mentioned to avoid interoperability =
issues.=20


Thanks for your time,
Rgds,
arvind

I agree to most of your arguments. The valid lifetime timeouts can only
occur when something is wrong. The RFCs handle prefixes and their
lifetimes perfectly well. 

But still, the real world out there is often different from the nice and
clean behaviour described in an RFC. 

In fact, misconfiguration does happen, be it because of ignorance or by
mistake. 
Also, packet loss it not so uncommon in the real world. There were
times, when in some areas of our network we had close to 1 percent
packet loss, and it was accepted, because it was just to expensive to
fix it. Sometimes an admin doesn't even know that there is packet loss
in the network.

What is new in IPv6 and SLAAC, is that packet loss might lead to a 
complete loss of connectivity. I admit that the probability is not very
high, that a node misses some consecutive RAs, but it is possible. And
it is hell for a network admin to find out, why "some" clients loose
their connectivity for "some time".  

What counts in the end, is that the customer gets a non-interrupted
service. 
The problems above can all be solved, when the client is allowed to
react itself, when it loses it's connectivity. The list in RFC2461, when
it has to send RS, is a good list in what cases this might happen.
Timing out of the valid lifetime is just one more of them.

So why not give the client the opportunity to heal himself by adding
something like "an implementation may choose to send a RS after the
valid lifetime times out" to the RFC(s)?

So long,
  Christian

Hi Jinmei,

I finished my AD review of draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2462bis-06.txt.  I have 
several comments on this document that I believe should be resolved 
before this document is sent to IETF Last Call for publication as a 
Draft Standard.

All of my comments are included below, but my most serious concerns are:

(1) Having decided that "the stateful configuration" mechanism is 
DHCPv6, I don't think that there is a reason to maintain the awkward 
and confusing wording about "the stateful mechanism" in many places. 
I've pointed out the worst cases, but there are many others.  I know 
that this is largely an editorial concern, but the awkwardness and 
lack of clarity are bad enough in some places (see below) that I 
consider this a blocking problem for publication at DS.

(2) I am not comfortable with the idea that we would punt the 
interpretation of the M & O bits to a "separate document" with no 
reference.  I believe that information about how to interpret these 
bits is essential to implementing IPv6 address autoconfiguration. 
See below for the specific text that concerns me.

I'd be interested in your feedback on these issues, as well as on the 
other more minor issues I've noted below.

I've cc:ed the IPv6 WG on this message, and other IPv6 folks should 
also feel free to respond, especially if you think that I'm mistaken 
about something.

1.  INTRODUCTION

    This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to
    autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6 (IPv6).  The
    autoconfiguration process includes creating a link-local address and
    verifying its uniqueness on a link, determining what information can
    be autoconfigured (addresses, other information, or both), and in the
    case of addresses, whether they can be obtained through the stateless
    mechanism, the stateful mechanism, or both.

>>  s/the stateful mechanism/DHCP

    This document defines
    the process for generating a link-local address, the process for
    generating global addresses via stateless address autoconfiguration,
    and the Duplicate Address Detection procedure.  The details of
    autoconfiguration using the stateful protocol is specified in
    [RFC3315] and [RFC3736].

>>  s/the stateful protocol/DHCP

    IPv6 defines both a stateful and stateless address autoconfiguration
    mechanism.  Stateless autoconfiguration requires no manual
    configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers,
    and no additional servers.  The stateless mechanism allows a host to
    generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available
    information and information advertised by routers.  Routers advertise
    prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while
    hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an
    interface on a subnet.  An address is formed by combining the two.
    In the absence of routers, a host can only generate link-local
    addresses.  However, link-local addresses are sufficient for allowing
    communication among nodes attached to the same link.

    In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface
    addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a
    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) server.  Servers
    maintain a database that keeps track of which addresses have been
    assigned to which hosts.  The stateful autoconfiguration protocol
    allows hosts to obtain addresses, other configuration information or
    both from a server.  Stateless and stateful autoconfiguration
    complement each other.  For example, a host can use stateless
    autoconfiguration to configure its own addresses, but use stateful
    autoconfiguration to obtain other information.

    To obtain other configuration information without configuring
    addresses in the stateful autoconfiguration model, a subset of DHCPv6
    [RFC3736] will be used.  While the model is called "stateful" here in
    order to highlight the contrast to the stateless protocol defined in
    this document, the intended protocol is also defined to work in a
    stateless fashion.  This is based on a result, through operational
    experiments, that all known "other" configuration information can be
    managed by a stateless server, that is, a server that does not
    maintain state of each client that the server provides with the
    configuration information.

>>DHCP works -- that is the subject of other document.  There are 
>>many other places where the text would be much clearer if DHCP (or 
>>DHCPv6) were used instead of "the stateful mechanism", but I will 
>>not mark them all.

    The stateless approach is used when a site is not particularly
    concerned with the exact addresses hosts use, so long as they are
    unique and properly routable.  The stateful approach is used when a
    site requires tighter control over exact address assignments.  Both
    stateful and stateless address autoconfiguration may be used
    simultaneously.  The site administrator specifies which type of
    autoconfiguration is available through the setting of appropriate
    fields in Router Advertisement messages [I-D.ietf-ipv6-2461bis].

>>Otherwise, this will just block in the RFC Editor, and we won't 
>>have the ability to change it again if we discover issue while 
>>finishing the 2461 update.  Thoughts?

2.  TERMINOLOGY

>>  Is this terminology section intended to be in logical order?  Is 
>>there a reason to prefer this order over an alphabetical listing?

    Nodes (both hosts and routers) begin the autoconfiguration process by
    generating a link-local address for the interface.  A link-local
    address is formed by appending the interface's identifier to the
    well-known link-local prefix.

>>  I think that there should be a reference to the addressing 
>>architecture or the scoped address architecture here...  Something 
>>that tells me how I actually create a link-local address.

    A "managed
    address configuration (M)" flag indicates whether hosts can use
    stateful autoconfiguration [RFC3315] to obtain addresses.  An "other
    stateful configuration (O)" flag indicates whether hosts can use
    stateful autoconfiguration [RFC3736] to obtain additional information
    (excluding addresses).

    The details of how a host may use the M flag, including any use of
    the "on" and "off" transitions for this flag, to control the use of
    the stateful protocol for address assignment will be described in a
    separate document.  Similarly, the details of how a host may use the
    O flag, including any use of the "on" and "off" transitions for this
    flag, to control the use of the stateful protocol for getting other
    configuration information will be described in a separate document.
    However a host uses the M and O flags, and local configuration to
    control autoconfiguration, the default setting will result in
    received Router Advertisements being processed for stateless address
    autoconfiguration.

>>  I don't think it is okay to publish a DS that leaves important 
>>implementation details to a "separate document".  Has the separate 
>>document been published?  If so, it needs to be normatively 
>>referenced here.

    Router Advertisements also contain zero or more Prefix Information
    options that contain information used by stateless address
    autoconfiguration to generate global addresses.  It should be noted
    that the stateless and stateful address autoconfiguration fields in
    Router Advertisements are processed independently of one another, and
    a host may use both stateful and stateless address autoconfiguration
    simultaneously.  One Prefix Information option field, the "autonomous
    address-configuration flag", indicates whether or not the option even
    applies to stateless autoconfiguration.  If it does, additional
    option fields contain a subnet prefix together with lifetime values
    indicating how long addresses created from the prefix remain
    preferred and valid.

>>  What happens if the value of the "autonomous address-configuration 
>>flag" changes over time?

    For safety, all addresses must be tested for uniqueness prior to
    their assignment to an interface.  The test should individually be
    performed on all addresses obtained manually, via stateless address
    autoconfiguration, or via stateful address autoconfiguration.  To
    accommodate sites that believe the overhead of performing Duplicate
    Address Detection outweighs its benefits, the use of Duplicate
    Address Detection can be disabled through the administrative setting
    of a per-interface configuration flag.

>>  I am not sure how the last sentence is consistent with the must in 
>>the first sentence.  Change the must in the first sentence to a 
>>should?

Hi,
  Thanks for the reply.
  If the Source and Target Link Layer Address Options 
are not included in (IPv6 Over ATM PVC) IND 
message, then the message will straight-away be considered an 
invalid one as per the message validation checks
specified in IND RFC (rfc 3122).
  A better option would be to zero fill the options
though the options would be useless in that scenario (?)

Alex, could you help on this issue since the
authors of IPv6 Over ATM RFC (rfc 2492) are not
reachable at the e-mail address specified in the RFC?

Rgds,
arvind

Subject: Query:IPv6 Over ATM PVC Operation


Hi, 
  I have the following query regarding IPv6 Over ATM PVC operation
(rfc2492).
  I would appreciate if someone could answer the same.

 Query -
===== 
RFC does not clearly mention what to fill as the Source/Target
Link Layer address in the Source/Target Link Layer options 
of IND (Inverse ND) messages. 

Also, there is no mention of any reference document which
covers the same.

All that is said is [Section 3. PVC Environments] - 

"Since ATM PVC links do not use link-layer addresses, the link-layer
address options SHOULD not be included in any ND message [11].  If a
link-layer address option is present in an ND message, then the
option SHOULD be ignored."

==>  It may be confusing after reading RFC3122 (inverse ND) which requires
it as part of the 
     solicitation (src and dst LL address) and reply (target LL address).
     but since PVC in "permanent" its not needed (?!)
  
Does this mean that we zero fill the Link Layer address in Source/Target 
Link Layer options of the IND messages?

This information must be clearly mentioned to avoid interoperability issues.



Thanks for your time,
Rgds,
arvind

<WG Chair hat off>

I see two issues with making a change to the hash algorithm.

First, changing the algorithm will not affect interoperability.  The
generation of the IID is local to each node.

Second, we are attempting to move this document from PS to
DS, so making a gratuitous change to the hash algorithm is not
usually favored.  In addition, will we change it again when a newer
algorithm comes along?

Perhaps an alternative, if people feel a need to move away from
MD5, would be to not specify a single hash, but rather give a list
of possible hashes.  And an informative pointer to RFC 1750
would help with this direction.

Other thoughts?

Regards,
Brian

PS: draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-ah-algorithms-02.txt changes MD5 based algo
requirement levels from MUST to MAY so the argument about MD5 seems
to be right.

Hi Brian and Francis,
  Thanks for your comments. I have made some changes to the draft to 
address the issues you raised. Let me know if these changes are OK.

* I have removed all references to MD5 in the document.
* I have added a reference to draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-ah-algorithms-02
* I added the following paragraph about the hash algorithm

  "The randomized interface identifier generation algorithm assumes that
   the node is capable of running a hash algorithm which is capable of
   producing a 128 bit random value.  The selected hash algorithm SHOULD
   follow the guidelines set forth in  [RANDOM] to ensure randomness of
   the result.  The node MAY use one of the hash algorithms specified in
   [IPSECALGO] as these algorithms will be available on every IPv6
   compliant node"

where 
[IPSECALGO] is draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-ah-algorithms-02 and 
[RANDOM] is RFC1750

Thanks
Suresh

Good morning. Having been away from the list for a while, it's not clear
to me what (if any) the consensus (and subsequent decision) is regarding
inclusion of the IPv6 Flow Label field in the AH ICV. If consensus and a
decision were reached, what were/are they? If so, I'd like to start a
separate thread concerning how to best protect the IPv6 Flow Label. If
not, I'd like to continue the thread until consensus and a decision are
reached. 

There seems no reasonable question that protection of the IPv6 Flow
Label is needed, in light of the fact that (according to RFC 3697,
section 2) '... The Flow Label value set by the source MUST be delivered
unchanged to the destination node(s)'. 

Taken to their logical conclusions Theft-of-Service attacks can become
de facto DoS attacks. Given the ability to filter and subsequently
route/forward based upon Flow Label values (much as has been/is done
with DSCP/TOS values) it seems worthwhile to be able to include the IPv6
Flow Label within the cryptographic functions of the AH ICV. I'm also
not certain that a contention in RFC 3697 (section 5.2, regarding IPsec
tunneling) is correct: '. modification of the Flow Label by a network
node has no effect on IPsec end-to-end security, because it cannot cause
any IPsec integrity check to fail.' Presuming one of the intermediate
nodes has a policy that drops all traffic with IPv6 Flow Label value
'x', to mark such tunnel traffic (talking about the Flow Label of the
outer IPv6 header here) with value 'x' would be to mark it (thus all
that is encapsulated within it) for death. Stealing of the Flow Label
value being assigned to the legitimate tunnel traffic could also
seemingly lead to a denial of service if there is also a bandwidth
limitation applied to that type of traffic (e.g. LLQ). In either case,
it would appear that the IPsec integrity check would in fact fail due to
the modification of the Flow Label (ICV can't be checked if the traffic
cannot get to the destination in the first place). 

Again, from RFC 3697: '. since the treatment of IP headers by nodes is
typically unverified, there is no guarantee that flow labels sent by a
node are set according to the recommendations in this document.
Therefore, any assumptions made by the network about header fields such
as flow labels should be limited to the extent that the upstream nodes
are explicitly trusted.' I'm not sure a lot of explicit trust is
warranted. Whether by the AH ICV, a Hop-by-Hop option, or another
mechanism, the IPv6 Flow Label needs to be protected. 

Any feedback would be most sincerely appreciated.

Best regards,

Tim Enos

I don't think you want to remove all references to MD5.  The
document just doesn't need to mandate that MD5 be the only
hash algorithm.

I don't think we want to do that.  This document is supposed to be
going from PS to DS.  Adding a reference to an I-D will delay
publication until all references are RFC's.  And if the above
draft is Normative, it has to be at the same (DS) level.

See my comment above about Normative references and my initial
recommendation to make a reference to 1750 Informative.

=> a consensus was reached and its result announced by Stephen Kent
(1- keep compatibility, 2- fix the rationale).
Cf draft-ietf-ipsec-rfc2402bis-08.txt:
        (*) The flow label described in AHv1 was mutable, and in
            RFC 2460 [DH98] was potentially mutable. To retain
            compatibility with existing AH implementations, the

I believe I had the last word on this thread until today.
=20
The original version of AH, RFC 2402, has the Flow Spec value as being =
mutable.
=20
RFC 2460, IPv6 spec, has the Flow Spec value potentially mutable.
=20
Diffserv, RFC 2475, has the DS codepoint as being potentially mutable.
=20
Seems to me that even RFC 3697 allows for the Flow Spec to be changed in =
transit, as long as it's returned to its original state before arriving =
at the destination.
=20
I had suggested that the Flow Spec not be included in AH bis, and to use =
the above older references as reason. That is to say, existing AH =
algorithms could break if this was changed. In addition, I had also =
suggested that perhaps the best way to protect a flow where the Flow =
Spec value really matters is to use ESP and send the critical traffic =
through a tunnel.

Subject: RE: AH and flow label



Good morning. Having been away from the list for a while, it's not clear =
to me what (if any) the consensus (and subsequent decision) is regarding =
inclusion of the IPv6 Flow Label field in the AH ICV. If consensus and a =
decision were reached, what were/are they? If so, I'd like to start a =
separate thread concerning how to best protect the IPv6 Flow Label. If =
not, I'd like to continue the thread until consensus and a decision are =
reached.=20

There seems no reasonable question that protection of the IPv6 Flow =
Label is needed, in light of the fact that (according to RFC 3697, =
section 2) '... The Flow Label value set by the source MUST be delivered =
unchanged to the destination node(s)'.=20

Taken to their logical conclusions Theft-of-Service attacks can become =
de facto DoS attacks. Given the ability to filter and subsequently =
route/forward based upon Flow Label values (much as has been/is done =
with DSCP/TOS values) it seems worthwhile to be able to include the IPv6 =
Flow Label within the cryptographic functions of the AH ICV. I'm also =
not certain that a contention in RFC 3697 (section 5.2, regarding IPsec =
tunneling) is correct: '... modification of the Flow Label by a network =
node has no effect on IPsec end-to-end security, because it cannot cause =
any IPsec integrity check to fail.' Presuming one of the intermediate =
nodes has a policy that drops all traffic with IPv6 Flow Label value =
'x', to mark such tunnel traffic (talking about the Flow Label of the =
outer IPv6 header here) with value 'x' would be to mark it (thus all =
that is encapsulated within it) for death. Stealing of the Flow Label =
value being assigned to the legitimate tunnel traffic could also =
seemingly lead to a denial of service if there is also a bandwidth =
limitation applied to that type of traffic (e.g. LLQ). In either case, =
it would appear that the IPsec integrity check would in fact fail due to =
the modification of the Flow Label (ICV can't be checked if the traffic =
cannot get to the destination in the first place).=20

Again, from RFC 3697: '... since the treatment of IP headers by nodes is =
typically unverified, there is no guarantee that flow labels sent by a =
node are set according to the recommendations in this document. =
Therefore, any assumptions made by the network about header fields such =
as flow labels should be limited to the extent that the upstream nodes =
are explicitly trusted.' I'm not sure a lot of explicit trust is =
warranted. Whether by the AH ICV, a Hop-by-Hop option, or another =
mechanism, the IPv6 Flow Label needs to be protected.=20

Any feedback would be most sincerely appreciated.

Best regards,

Tim Enos

Hello,
 
On August 23, 2004 I announced to this distribution a -00 document entitled:
 
  "IPvLX: IPv6 Addressing in the IPv4 Internet"
 
Since that time, a -01 revision of the base document has obsoleted the
-00 version, and a new document entitled: "IPvLX Errata" that specifies
patches to be applied against the base document has been submitted
to internet-drafts@ietf.org.
 
The documents are currently available at the following URLs (the latter
of the two should soon be appearing in the I-D repository):
 
  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-templin-ipvlx-01.txt

Bert and Francis are correct that there is no plan to change AH
for this.

The authors of 3697 were fairly careful about that, since we know
that some people have use cases in mind for the flow label where
it would be twiddled en route. But the basic model is that it is
an e2e field.

Having been away from the list for a while, it's not clear to me what (if any) the consensus (and subsequent decision) is regarding inclusion of the IPv6 Flow Label field in the AH ICV. If consensus and a decision were reached, what were/are they? If so, I'd like to start a separate thread concerning how to best protect the IPv6 Flow Label. If not, I'd like to continue the thread until consensus and a decision are reached.

> Taken to their logical conclusions Theft-of-Service attacks can become de facto DoS attacks. Given the ability to filter and subsequently route/forward based upon Flow Label values (much as has been/is done with DSCP/TOS values) it seems worthwhile to be able to include the IPv6 Flow Label within the cryptographic functions of the AH ICV. I'm also not certain that a contention in RFC 3697 (section 5.2, regarding IPsec tunneling) is correct: '... modification of the Flow Label by a network node has no effect on IPsec end-to-end security, because it cannot cause any IPsec integrity check to fail.' Presuming one of the intermediate nodes has a policy that drops all traffic with IPv6 Flow Label value 'x', to mark such tunnel traffic (talking about the Flow Label of the outer IPv6 header here) with value 'x' would be to mark it (thus all that is encapsulated within it) for death. Stealing of the Flow Label value being assigned to the legitimate tunnel traffic could also seeming
ly lead to a denial of service if there is also a bandwidth limitation applied to that type of traffic (e.g. LLQ). In either case, it would appear that the IPsec integrity check would in fact fail due to the modification of the Flow Label (ICV can't be checked if the traffic cannot get to the destination in the first place).

Therefore, any assumptions made by the network about header fields such as flow labels should be limited to the extent that the upstream nodes are explicitly trusted.' I'm not sure a lot of explicit trust is warranted. Whether by the AH ICV, a Hop-by-Hop option, or another mechanism, the IPv6 Flow Label needs to be protected.

Hi All,

Just FYI --

I sent the attached AD review comments to the WG chairs and the 
authors of draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-05.txt on October 3rd. 
I usually try to copy the WG on substantive AD review comments, and I 
am not sure why I failed to do so in this case.  Anyway, you can read 
my comments below.

This document has been placed in "AD Review -- Revised ID Needed 
State" and I am waiting for these issues to be resolved before 
sending the document to IETF Last Call.

Your comments are welcome!

Margaret

---

I have completed my AD review of draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-05.txt,
and I have several comments on this draft.  As some of these comments
are substantive, I would like the draft to be updated to address these
concerns before we send it to IETF Last Call.

Let me start with a couple of general comments:

(1) There are several places in this document where it says that these
link-scoped multicast addresses will be assigned "at the same time" as
link-local addresses are auto-configured.  I don't see any reason for
this restriction, and I believe that these addresses could safely be
configured at any time after DAD is completed.

(2) The document says:

     The lifetime of link scoped multicast addresses has no dependency
     on the Valid Lifetime field in the Prefix Information option,
     corresponding to the unicast address being used, contained in the
     Router Advertisement message [RFC 2461].

This makes sense to me, but I think it misses the point...  Since
these addresses are created from the unique IID, their useful lifetime
is linked to the period during which the IID is known to be unique.
Right?  So, the document needs to discuss what happens to these
addresses if there is a later IID conflict, due to a new node joining
the network that uses the same IID.

I also have some specific comments on the text (marked with '>>'):

Abstract

     This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
     architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows for the use
     of interface-IDs to allocate multicast addresses.  When a link-

>>  I would refer to Interface Idenfitiers (IIDs) the first time and
   later use the IID acronym for consistency with other IPv6
   documents.

     Consequently, this technique MUST be used for link scoped multicast

>>  MUST only be used for link scoped multicast?  (s/MUST/MUST only) ??

     addresses.  If you want to use multicast addresses greater than
     link-local scope, you need other methods such as [RFC 3306].

     That is, flgs, scop, and LSM fields are used to identify whether an
     address is a multicast address as specified in this document and to
     be processed any further.

>>  What type of further processing is done on these addresses?  I
   wouldn't think that, after they are generated, these addresses
   would be handled any differently than other link scoped multicast
   addresses...

     Interface ID field is used to distinguish each node from others.
     And this value is obtained from the IEEE EUI-64 based interface
     identifier of the link-local unicast IPv6 address.  Given the use
     of this method for link-local scope, the interface ID embedded in
     the multicast address SHOULD come from the interface ID of the
     link-local unicast address on the interface after DAD has
     completed.  That is, the creation of the multicast address MUST
     occur after DAD has completed as part of the auto-config process.

>>  This paragraph conflicts with itself.  It is not clear whether the
   link scoped address SHOULD only be configured after DAD has
   completed or MUST only be configured after DAD has completed.  I
   think you mean MUST...

6. Security Considerations

     [RFC 3041] describes the privacy extension to IPv6 stateless
     address autoconfiguration for an interface ID.  The interface ID,
     generated by [RFC 3041], is also used in this method since the
     uniqueness is verified by DAD procedure as part of the secure auto-
     config process.

>>  You should probably indicate whether link scoped multicast
   addresses can be configured using IIDs generated for privacy
   addresses or not.

       Informative

       [RFC 2461] T. Narten, E. Nordmark and W. Simpson, "Neighbor
                   Discovery for  IP Version 6 (IPv6)," RFC 2461,
                   December 1998.

>>  I think that you need a normative reference to this and to IPv6
   Auto Configuration.

As the editor it was not my intention that the ipv4 and ipv6 interface
tables
would be fully populated with all interfaces only those on which the ipv4 or
ipv6 protocols had been administratevly attached.  This may turn out to be
all
capable interfaces in some systems.

**

As to the difference you mention at the end of your message.  If I
understood
correctly to which statement you refer it discusses the difference between
the
interface tables from previous IPv6 mib and this mib.  In the previous mib
the ipv6ifTable attempted to replace (at least for IPv6) the ifTable.  In
the current
mib the interface tables are additional information to the ifTable.

**

If I were writing the code to handle the if and ip mibs I'd consider simply
adding
some new fields to the if structure to include the IP information.
Obviously this
may not be possible in some situations and then other implementation styles
would
need to be used.

Shawn A. Routhier

FWIW, I think we should make the specification agnostic of the hash
algorithm.  Either MD5 and SHA1 or whatever is just fine.  There is no
interoperability problem because I don't see a need to be able to
reverse the hashes, and it's just an implementation's internal matter.

I guess this is intended for Draft Standard (based on the charter 
page), but there are a few issues which need to be nailed down first 
(e.g., about the normative refs to lower maturity specs).

substantial
-----------

1) 

The document goes at great depth to discuss the scenarios and justification
for privacy addresses, but I don't think the document produces a concise
problem statement (like one paragraph of less than 5 sentences) or
description about the scenarios or the threat model.  The factoids are
dribbled through section 2 but it might make sense to try to collect the
important bits together and try to coin up a nice and neat description of
the problem that's being fixed.

For example, one should take note of the following:
 - what is the observation point? (e.g., first paragraph of 2.1 takes IMHO
bad example of sniffing the traffic might be better removed or reworded)
 - what is the assumption about the (in)stability of the prefix to the
effects of privacy addresses?
 - how does this effect stationary nodes?  nomadic nodes?

Also, security considerations talks about ingress filtering, but
doesn't really talk about the main meat of
draft-dupont-ipv6-rfc3041harmful-XX.txt, that is, why privacy
addresses give privacy only with certain assumptions about the
dynamicity (or not) of the used prefixes.  This should go in as a
paragraph of its own in security considerations after the above is
clear.

2) the document also goes on at least in 3 different places to list
issues with reverse lookups and such.  Is this really necessary?  I'm
not objecting strongly, but there have been arguments that rather than
fiddling with protocols, one should consider fixing the broken
applications.  This is also discussed in draft-ietf-dnsop-ipv6-issues
(as are the issues with DDNS), so it might be worth referring to that
informatively from here.

3) DNA is referred to in section 3.5, unfortunately I think (at least with
the current wording) this would need to be a normative reference because
it's required for implementation of this spec.  And normative refs must be
at least the same maturity level of this spec, and this may pose a problem. 
A few possibilities which might solve this problem:
 - describe DNA just as one alternative to note whether the link change has
occurred, and possibly detail some others as well
 - just wait for DNA spec, and keep this as proposed standard
 - remove (some of) the specification about link changes, e.g., just saying
that for wired interfaces plug in/out and wireless interfaces the interface
restart could be the events -- no need for DNA then.


semi-substantial
----------------

 ==> the draft talks a lot about 'global scope addresses',
but I don't think is really accurate.  The privacy address practices could
be applied to site-local or ULA addresses as well, it's just a matter of
local policy.  RFC2462bis might provide some ideas how to express
'non-link-local' in a better way.

On the other hand, I see benefit in restricting the scope of privacy
addresses to just global scope addresses, but then you have to define
those somehow and that may be tricky.. because ULA addresses, by some
terminology, are also global scope..

   Not all nodes and interfaces contain IEEE identifiers.  In such
   cases, an interface identifier is generated through some other means
   (e.g., at random), and the resultant interface identifier is not
   globally unique and may also change over time.

==> 'globally unique interface identifier' is a rather absolute
statement and may not actually be accurate because it has happened
that identifiers have been duplicated.  Maybe soften the tone a bit.
(also see the robert elz appeal on addrarch and unique/local bits.)

  A more troubling case concerns mobile devices (e.g., laptops, PDAs,
   etc.) that move topologically within the Internet.  Whenever they
   move (in the absence of technology such as mobile IP [MOBILEIP]),
   they form new addresses for their current topological point of
   attachment.

==> the document mentions Mobile IP, but this doesn't actually matter much,
depending on the actual problem statement.  Remember, unless the mobile node
would *only* do bidirectional tunneling back to the home agent, every node
the MN talks to will know the care-of address in any case, which seems equal
in privacy considerations to just laptop moving without mobile IP.

Mobile IP is actually relatively incompatible with privacy addresses 
as the home address probably acts as a stable identifier, nullifying 
the effect of using privacy addresses for care-of address if you do 
route optimization.  This could maybe be discussed in security 
considerations.  A workaround is having multiple home addresses 
(rfc3041 ones), but I don't recall if that's supported or not, and 
even then, you reveal the stable prefix as the identifier.

   One way to avoid some of the problems discussed above is to use DHCP
   for obtaining addresses.  With DHCP, the DHCP server could arrange to
   hand out addresses that change over time.

==> 'change over time' seems relative.  The key point here is that DHCP
should not provide the addresses with (similar) stable identifiers.  Looking
at current or planned DHCPv6 deployments, at least some are using (AFAIR)
DHCPv6 to give the hosts the same addresses they'd get with stateless
address autoconfiguration, including EUI64.  Obviously, such would likely
not change sufficiently often, and would include the stable identifier.

How I see it, the document seems slightly too forthcoming with
proposing DHCPv6 as a solution for privacy here, but that only works
if DHCPv6 gives temporary addresses without the stable identifiers,
and rotates even those non-identifying addresses in a regular basis
("strict pool").  But that seems unnecessary complexity, because there
is no need (no address shortage) to do that with IPv6.  So, I don't
why anyone would use DHCPv6 to avoid this problem rather than privacy
addresses.

   4.  By default, generate a set of addresses from the same
       (randomized) interface identifier, one address for each prefix
       for which a global address has been generated via stateless
       address autoconfiguration.  Using the same interface identifier
       to generate a set of temporary addresses reduces the number of IP
       multicast groups a host must join.  Nodes join the solicited-node
       multicast address for each unicast address they support, and
       solicited-node addresses are dependent only on the low-order bits
       of the corresponding address.  This default behaviour was made to
       address the concern that a node that joins a large number of
       multicast groups may be required to put its interface into
       promiscuous mode, resulting in possible reduced performance.

==> what you seem to be saying, in a rather complex way in these
steps, that a random address is generated for each received prefix
[regardless of interfaces].  Wouldn't there a simpler way to specify
that ?

      A node highly concerned about privacy MAY use different interface
       identifiers on different prefixes, resulting in a set of global
       addresses that cannot be easily tied to each other.  This may be
       useful, for example, to a mobile node using multiple wireless
       interfaces to connect to multiple independent networks.

==> I think the example is flawed, or I don't understand this concern.  
Multiple wireless interfaces have their own MAC addresses, and
multiple independent networks have their own prefixes.  If you connect
using interface 1 to network 1 and interface 2 to network 2, there is
no way to connect the privacy addresses derived from them.  Rather, if
you use interface 1 to connect to networks 1,2,..,N, you're
identifiable, but this is then again the the regular roaming scenario
and requires no special considerations...

As it is, there's nothing in the spec that would propose that a
multi-interface node could pick one of its identifiers and use it as a
basis for privacy address generation on all of its interfaces.  As I
read it, for every physical interface, the 'seed' must be different.

...

       B.
           +  If the received Valid Lifetime is greater than 2 hours
              update the lifetime of the temporary address to the
              received lifetime.
           +  If the RemainingLifetime of the temporary address is less
              than or equal to 2 hours ignore the received option.
           +  Otherwise set the valid lifetime to 2 hours.
       C.  These steps are necessary to prevent a denial of service
           attack where a bogus advertisement contains prefixes with
           very small Valid Lifetimes

==> isn't this fundamentally duplication of specification from rfc2462
checks ?  Couldn't you just specify that the lifetimes are checked as
specified in section X.X.X.y of rfc2462 ?

   6.  The node MUST Perform duplicate address detection (DAD) on the
       generated temporary address.  If DAD indicates the address is
       already in use, the node MUST generate a new randomized interface
       identifier as described in Section 3.2 above, and repeat the
       previous steps as appropriate up to 5 times.  If after 5
       consecutive attempts no non-unique address was generated,

==> 5 times seems like really a strech.  Couldn't we lower that down
to, say, 3 times?  That would still be sufficiently many repetitions,
but lower the unnecessary delay and attempts significantly in case
there are problems.

  When a temporary address becomes deprecated, a new one MUST be
   generated.  This is done by repeating the actions described in
   Section 3.3, starting at step 3).  Note that, except for the
   transient period when a temporary address is being regenerated, in
   normal operation at most one temporary address corresponding to a
   public address should be in a non-deprecated state at any given time.

==> I'm flinching back at the 'corresponding' language.  The
implementation shouldn't need to keep track of public -> private
address mappings, and if it does, this should be made more explicit.  
Instead, it may need to track prefixes, and possibly interfaces (or
interface-identifiers).

  If a very small number of nodes(say only one) use a given prefix for
   extended   periods of time, just changing the interface identifier
   part of the prefix  may not be sufficient to ensure privacy, since
   the prefix acts as a constant identifier.

==> i'd rather say s/may not be/is not/, because there's nothing conditional
(IMHO) about it.

10  References

==> needs to be broken down to informative and normative.  It's not clear
whether this is intended for PS or DS, but if DS, normative refs must only
include those specs which are of DS of BCP; if PS, PS is also OK.

2.2  Address Usage in IPv4 Today
                                                                                                                                           
   Addresses used in today's Internet are often non-changing in practice
   for extended periods of time, especially in non-home environments
   (e.g., corporations, campuses, etc.).

==> it's not so much 'home' environments as such but whether the ISP has
assigned a static (or gives de-facto static) addresses.  This is obviously
mostly an issue at home, but could maybe be a bit more general in the text.

   A more interesting case concerns always-on connections (e.g., cable
   modems, ISDN, DSL, etc.) that result in a home site using the same
   address for extended periods of time.  This is a scenario that is
   just starting to become common in IPv4 and promises to become more of
   a concern as always-on internet connectivity becomes widely
   available.  Although it might appear that changing an address
   regularly in such environments would be desirable to lessen privacy
   concerns, it should be noted that the network prefix portion of an
   address also serves as a constant identifier.  All nodes at (say) a
   home, would have the same network prefix, which identifies the
   topological location of those nodes.  This has implications for
   privacy, though not at the same granularity as the concern that this
   document addresses.  Specifically, all nodes within a home would be
   grouped together for the purposes of collecting information.  This
   issue is difficult to address, because the routing prefix part of an
   address contains topology information and cannot contain arbitrary
   values.

==> while the topic was 'Address Usage in IPv4 today', the text jumps in the
middle to describe v6 considerations (about the prefix portion).  Maybe this
needs to go somewhere else, or at least broken down more explicitly (e.g.,
to a different paragraph).

  Finally, this document assumes that when a node initiates outgoing
   communication, temporary addresses can be given preference over
   public addresses, when the device is configured to do so.  This is
   consistent with on-going work that addresses the topic of
   source-address selection in the more general case [ADDR_SELECT]

==> on-going work no longer...

   applications are used by end users.  Thus, the default value given of
   one week (TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME) may not be appropriate in all
 
==> s/default value given/given default value/

 
   temporary addresses in order to simply network debugging and
                                                                                                                                           

==> s/simply/simplify/

   An implementation might want to keep track of which addresses are
   being used by upper layers so as to be able to remove a deprecated
   temporary address from internal data structures once no upper layer
   protocols are using it (but not before). [...]

==> this issue seems to be discussed in nearly the same fashion in two
different places in the draft.  Could this just be summarized in one, and
described in full in the other, or something?

8.  Security Considerations
                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                           
   Ingress filtering is being deployed as a means of preventing the use
   of spoofed source addresses in Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)
   attacks. 

==> s/is being/has been/ ?

  legitimately changing temporary addresses and spoofed source
   addresses which "in-prefix"(They use a topologically correct prefix
   and non-existent interface ID).  This can be addressed by using
 
==> s/which/which are/, add space after "

Hi John,

I was browsing through draft-ietf-ipv6-node-requirements-11.txt when I
found that you are referring to RFC 3152 for ip6.arpa support for
reverese DNS (cf. section 5.1).

Please note that RFC 3152 (PS) has been obsoleted by RFC 3596
(DS). The latter deals at the same time with IPv6 support in the
forward (AAAA) and the reverse DNS (ip6.arpa).

So you should remove that RFC from the "Normative references" and you
can cite RFC 3596 also for ip6.arpa support :-)

Regards,

Mohsen.

Hi Mohsen,

Good catch, I think I should be able to update this during the author's =
48=20
hours, as this draft has been approved by the IESG.

thanks,
John

OK. Would it be fine fine if I retain the references to MD5 as is 
and add the following text at the end of section 3.2

"The random interface identifier generation algorithm, as described in
this document, uses MD5 as the hash algorithm. The node MAY use another
algorithm instead of MD5 to produce the random interface identifier."

Agreed. Since we are no longer mandating what algorithm to use, I will
remove this reference.

How about the following text for the problem statement?

"Addresses generated using Stateless address autoconfiguration [ADDRCONF]
contain an embedded 64-bit interface identifier which remains constant
over time. Anytime a fixed identifier is used in multiple contexts, it
becomes possible to correlateseemingly unrelated activity using this
identifier. Since the identifier is embedded within the IPv6 address,
which is a fundamental requirement of communication, it cannot be easily
hidden. This document proposes a solution to this issue by generating
interface identifiers which vary over time."

This is covered in Section 3.6 "Deployment Considerations"

I will cover the effect on nomadic nodes in the section I am going to

I had already added text in the draft, which I thought would address
this issue. It is the last paragraph of Section 3.6 "Deployment
Considerations"

"If a very small number of nodes(say only one) use a given prefix for
 extended  periods of time, just changing the interface identifier
 part of the prefix  may not be sufficient to ensure privacy, since
 the prefix acts as a constant identifier.  The procedures described
 in this document are most effective when the prefix is reasonably non
 static or is used by a fairly large number of nodes"

Do you think this is not sufficient?

The dnsop ipv6 issues draft just refers back to RFC3041 regarding
reverse lookups. Would you still like me to reference it?

I like option 1. I will reword this and change the DNA reference to
informational.

Site local has been deprecated and ULAs are within the scope of the
document. I have the following text in the draft at the end of Section 1

"Introduction"

" The term "global scope addresses" is used in this
  document  to collectively refer to "Global unicast addresses" as
  defined in [ADDRARCH] and "Unique local addresses" as defined in
  [ULA]"

Do you have any issues with this definition?

OK. The problem in fixing this is that there is no explicit claim that
IIDs formed from EUIs are globally unique. Would it be OK if I changed
" resultant interface identifier is not globally unique"
to
" resultant interface identifier may not be globally unique"

I will add a paragraph in "Deployment Considerations" about Mobile IP.

Agreed. DHCP is proposed as a solution and is qualified by the following
sentence

"With DHCP, the DHCP server could arrange to hand out addresses that
 change over time"

and the issue you are mentioning is discussed earlier in section 2.2

"In theory, the address a client gets via DHCP can change over time, but
 in practice servers often return the same address to the same client
 (unless addresses are in such short supply that they are reused immediately 
 by a different node when they become free). Thus, even within sites using
 DHCP, clients frequently end up using the same address for weeks to 
 months at a time."

Would you like me to add stronger wording or to explicitly discourage
the use of DHCPv6 for privacy purposes?

Not really. The identifier is generated per interface. So a random address
is generated per prefix per interface. The idea of the paragraph is to
explain the rationale behind using the same random identifier with all
the prefixes received on an interface. I agree there might be a simpler 
way of stating this. I will try to come up with something.

This paragraph explicitly allows the following scenario.

Let's say interface IF1 is connected to networks N1,N2 and N3. The node
MAY generate DIFFERENT identifiers I1,I2 and I3 for each of these prefixes
to make addresses N1|I1, N2|I2, and N3|I3 if it so desires, instead of
being limited to N1|I1,N2|I1, and N3|I1.

Yes. This is true.

No. This check does not exist in RFC2462. It was added later in
RFC2462bis. Since 2462bis is still a draft I included it here. I can
remove it and add a reference to 2462bis if needed. But this needs to be
a normative reference.

I will make this a configuration variable and default it to 3.

I will change the language to make the node track the prefixes instead
of corresponding public addresses.

There is. The data collector NEEDS to know that there is only one node.
Otherwise she/he may not be able to correlate the collected data with
two different addresses.

Not necessarily. It is still talking about IPv4 prefixes and IPv4
addresses.

Good catch. I will change the text. I already have ADDR_SELECT
referencing RFC3484.

One of the places talks about WHEN an application is allowed to remove
deprecated addresses. The other one talks about Future Work to be done.
I don't see any elegant way of combining these two.

Subjective ;-). "Has been" makes it sound like everyone has it deployed
already. I will leave it as it is unless you have strong feelings.

However, I don't see a problem with having the draft as an Informative
reference.  That might influence which algorithm the implementor
selects.

I want to state that I personally do not like the new
idea from the draft to consider total lifetimes of a
temporary address in case of some RAs renew prefixes.
(Previously lifetimes of temporary addresses could only be
lowered by RAs).
This adds additional complexity for the rather rare
event of a sites address renumbering.
Best regards
   Peter

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes
	Author(s)	: R. Draves, D. Thaler
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-06.txt
	Pages		: 14
	Date		: 2004-10-14
	
This document describes an optional extension to Router 
   Advertisement messages for communicating default router preferences 
   and more-specific routes from routers to hosts. This improves the 
   ability of hosts to pick an appropriate router, especially when the 
   host is multi-homed and the routers are on different links. The 
   preference values and specific routes advertised to hosts require 
   administrative configuration; they are not automatically derived 
   from routing tables.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

Hi,
  I am not exactly sure what part of the draft you are referring about, 
but without the 2 hour lifetime rule stateless address autoconf is 
susceptible to a denial of service attack using fake RAs with low 
lifetimes. Can you give me the specifics regarding the text in the draft 
which you are worried about (section number, paragraph etc.)?

Regards
Suresh

This describes rather well the approach against correlation, but what 
I was more concerned about was what I wrote below -- i.e., that the 
case _where_ and _by whom_ you expect that correlation to happen.

See above.  At least some of this should probably be prominent in the 
justification of this mechanism.

Yes -- that seems like an afterthought which is not applied
sufficiently to the rest of the document -- the discussion & problem
statement in the introduction and the first paragraphs and the
security considerations in particular.

The point is that if you use stable prefixes, RFC3041 addresses don't
help you at all to ensure privacy for stationary nodes in that
network.  That needs to be said loud and clear in the critical places
in the document.

The part in dnsop ipv6 issues draft I referred to was the discussiona
bout the techiniques for using DDNS, and the discussion of the
applicability of reverse DNS in the first place.

Not sure if it needs to be referred to here, but if the draft talks a 
bit about these subjects, referring to another document which tries to 
do a more extensive discussion might not hurt.

OK.  I guess some other techniques than DNA also need to be noted
(maybe less optimal as DNA)?

Yes -- this brings up the issue why one would like to use privacy
addresses with unique local addresses ?  This gets back to the
question of correlating by whom and where.  In the domains where you 
use ULA addresses, I'd expect you wouldn't be concerned of 
correlation..

That seems to be sufficiently softening the wording and it's OK by me.

The discussion in section 2.2 is about IPv4 where there arguably there 
can be some some address shortage.  The quote you give is not 
sufficiently strong for DHCPv6, because the node would basically NEVER 
have to change the address.  So DHCPv6 does not practically address 
this concern, unless the address rotation is manually configured, and 
nobody will bother to do that.

Therefore I think stating that DHCP(v6) can solve this problem needs
to be stated rather in a fashion like "DHCPv6 could only solve the
problem if addresses it gave didn't have stable identifiers, and those
addresses were manually rotated periodically so that each node would
get new addresses suitably frequently.  Because this does not happen
automatically, and manual renumbering operations can be considered
extremely burdensome, DHCPv6 is not a solution for address privacy;  
DHCPv6 can only be used as an alternative for handing temporary
addresses [but explain why this doesn't necessarily make much
difference compared to just doing RFC3041]".

Then you should be saying 'a single wireless interface' instead of 
'multiple wireless interfaces', and this would be OK.

2462bis is slated for (recycling at) DS, and is also relatively far in
the process, so I don't think it would be a problem normatively
referring to what that doc specifies.

That is, if there are folks who would implement the RFC3041bis but not
2462bis could just look at 2462bis and take that specification from
there.

This depends on whether the data collector is interested in tracking a 
particular user inside the prefix, or just the prefix and whoever are 
using it.

For example, FBI might want to correlate traffic that's originated
from the particular house.  They might not care that much whether it's
the father or the son whose laptop is doing the talking -- it wouldn't
probably even much, because the people inside the prefix might even
share their computers.

What the data collector NEEDS to know (or make an educated guess
about) AFAICS is whether the specific set of prefixes have a small or
large number of users behind them.  But that kind of information can
usually be gleaned from publically available information if they
really want.

I fail to see that.. homes aren't allocated a /24, /25, /26 or
whatever v4 prefixes, so saying that "the network prefix portion of an
address also serves as a constant identifier" seems wrong --
especially if the observer cannot know or reasonably guess where the
prefix part ends and the address part begins.

Couldn't one just say in section 3.4 like:

   As an optional optimization, an implementation MAY remove a
   deprecated temporary address that is not in use by applications or
   upper-layers as outlined in section 6. 

.. and delete the rest ?

(Note: I'm not sure whether this has been even implemented -- if not, 
it should be removed completely, at least from sect 3.4)

Sufficiently fine with me right now.  'is being' just sounds as if it
hasn't been deployed at all yet, and it was just recently started
being deployed..

The more complex way would be to say "has been and is being"..

Hi,
I am referring to page 14, chapter D.
It suggests to remember creation time of temporary addresses
and allows RAs to extend lifetimes of temporary addresses.

In original RFC3041 lifetime of temporary addresses could
only be lowered by RAs. No need to remember creation time.
(RFC3041, p. 10, 3.3 -> 1) .. When adjusting the lifetime of
 an existing temporary address, only lower the lifetime.)
Best regards
  Peter

Hi,
  I am not exactly sure what part of the draft you are referring about, 
but without the 2 hour lifetime rule stateless address autoconf is 
susceptible to a denial of service attack using fake RAs with low 
lifetimes. Can you give me the specifics regarding the text in the draft 
which you are worried about (section number, paragraph etc.)?

Regards
Suresh

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Link Scoped IPv6 Multicast Addresses
	Author(s)	: J. Park, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-link-scoped-mcast-06.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 2004-10-15
	
This document specifies an extension to the multicast addressing
     architecture of the IPv6 protocol. The extension allows for the use
     of interface-IDs to allocate multicast addresses.  When the link-
     local unicast address is configured at each interface of a host, an
     interface ID is uniquely determined.  By delegating multicast
     addresses at the same time as the interface ID, each host can
     identify their multicast addresses automatically at Layer 1 without
     running an intra- or inter-domain allocation protocol in serverless
     environments. Basically, it is preferred to use this method for the
     link-local scope rather than Unicast-Prefix-based IPv6 Multicast
     Addresses [RFC 3306].

Hello,

Sorry about the long delay.  I'll first comment on the two major
points.

I actually wanted to remove the word "stateful" for clarity.  But this
would also require changes to more normative statements in rfc2461bis.
For example, RFC2461 hardcodes the term "stateful" for the 'O' flag of
RA:

      O              1-bit "Other stateful configuration" flag.  When
                     set, hosts use the administered (stateful) protocol
                     for autoconfiguration of other (non-address)
                     information.  The use of this flag is described in
                     [ADDRCONF].

If we remove "stateful" from rfc2462bis, I think we'd also need to
change the name of the bit in rfc2461bis accordingly.  Otherwise, the
result would rather be more confusing.  So I asked the wg whether

- we should clean up all the occurrences of "stateful" and replace
  them with "DHCPv6" in rfc2461bis and rfc2462bis, or
- we should keep the wording but clarify what "stateful" actually
  means (and clarify the possible confusion RFC3736 is also called
  "stateless" while it's a part of DHCPv6)

See the following message and the succeding thread for more details:
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg02597.html

Unfortunately, I didn't see many responses to the question, so I
decided to take the second action, considering the "conservative"
nature of the 2462bis work.

But if we, as a wg, can agree on the first choice, which includes
modifications to rfc2461bis, I'm willing to make that change.  (I'd
object to just changing 2462bis with keeping the current wording in
2461bis.  That would just introduce further confusion.)

> (2) I am not comfortable with the idea that we would punt the

> See below for the specific text that concerns me.

Please let me check: regarding the M/O flags, we basically introduced
the following two changes from RFC2462:

1. remove some "mandatory" wording on these flags and clarify that
   these flags are just hints of availability of the corresponding
   services (DHCPv6).
2. leave more details to other document(s)

And, I believe how to "interpret" these bits is very clear with change
1.  In fact, the "mandatory" nature of these flags in RFC2462 has been
confusing people, and I believe the change in rfc2462bis makes the
interpretation much clearer.

Actually, the course of this change was based on a pretty clear
consensus in the wg.  See, for example, the following messages and
succeeding threads:
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg02512.html
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg02513.html

So, I interpret your main concern is about mentioning other
document(s) without a concrete reference.  Is this correct?

If so, there is an ongoing work in this area, although it's still
an individual document: draft-daniel-ipv6-ra-mo-flags-00.txt. (A new
revision of this document will be submitted before the coming IETF
meeting).

With this ongoing work, I can think of the following three choices:

1. simply remove the "other document".  As I said above, the
   "interpretation" of these flags should already be pretty clear.
   And removing the "other document" solves the dangling reference
   issue.
2. assuming the above ongoing work or a different (non existing)
   document is adopted as a wg document, refer to it as an
   *informative* reference.  At the moment, we only have an individual
   I-D, but even a wg I-D cannot be a normative reference in a draft
   standard.  Also, based on our consensus the separate document will
   be published as a BCP.  I'm not sure if a DS can safely have a
   normative reference to a BCP regarding the reference dependency
   issue (the rule is too complicated and it is very hard to find an
   appropriate document!).  BTW: in this sense, we can even not refer
   to the DHCPv6 RFCs as normative references, since those are still
   PS.

I don't have a particular preference between these two, but if none of
them is acceptable, I can't imagine how we can proceed.  Please let me
know what you think.

Hi Jinmei,

I agree that we would need to make some similar changes to RFC 
2461bis, but I don't see that as a huge change.  It could read 
something like:

      O              1-bit "Other DHCPv6 configuration" flag.  When
                      set, hosts use DHCP to configure other (non-address)
                      information.  The use of this flag is described in
                      [ADDRCONF].

The bigger problem is that the use of this flag is not described in 
the new version of ADDRCONF, so 2461bis will need a normative 
reference to the new document that does describe the use of these 
flags (unless we put it back here).

There is, of course, also a big ambiguity here about whether this 
flag indicates that hosts MUST, SHOULD or MAY use DHCPv6 to configure 
other information.  As you indicated below, we've known about, and 
struggled with, that ambiguity for a while, so I hope it will be 
resolved in RFC 2461bis or 2462bis.

Yes, but maybe not quite in the way you think.  RFC 2461bis and 
RFC2462bis are closely related documents that I think should probably 
go forward together on a single ballot (as I said elsewhere in my 
message).  By moving the description of the M&O bits to another 
document, you aren't really simplifying anything (IMO), you are 
merely creating a third document that is essential to understanding 
these two.  It also presents some problems, because the document is 
not complete yet and will have to start out at PS before moving to 
DS, which may block the publication of 2461bis and 2462bis at DS.

There is really a basic question here:

Are we _changing_ how the M&O bits are interpreted, or are we merely 
clarifying how they are interpreted?

If we are merely clarifying, then I think we should do it here and 
keep the documents at DS.

If we are changing it, I think we need to figure out how to handle 
this so that neither 2461bis nor 2462bis needs to have a normative 
reference to the new document.  To accomplish this, we would need to 
say enough (or perhaps little enough) in these documents that readers 
can completely implement address autoconfiguration and ND without 
knowing anything about the meaning of those bits.  This may be 
possible, if they are truly ignored in deciding how/if to perform ND, 
DAD, address autoconfiguration, etc.  But, that isn't currently clear 
in the documents.

I could accept this if you make it very clear what hosts that 
implement rfc2461bis and rfc2462bis are supposed to do when these 
bits are set.

As I'm sure you know, we can't just declare a reference informative 
because the referenced document isn't at a state that would allow 
this document to be published at DS.

IMO, it is quite clear that one can implement ND and addrconf without 
implementing DHCPv6, so it is fine for DHCPv6 to be an informative 
reference.  We either need to make sure that the M&O bits can be 
handle the same way (ignore them in implementations of ND and 
autoconf, worry about them only if you implement DHCPv6), or we need 
to explain them appropriately here.  Either one works, but a hanging 
textual reference to an as-yet-unpublished document doesn't.

I don't think we have any fundamental disagreements here, we just 
need to figure out how to get this right before we send it to IETF LC.

Thanks for all of your work on this document -- you are doing a very 
good job and this is important work!

Margaret

Hi Peter,
   Remembering the creation time is not mandatory. It is just one way of 
satisfying the constraints. The node can use any other means if it so 
desires. 
  If you are worried about renumbering issues you can set a 
lower value for TEMP_VALID_LIFETIME and TEMP_PREFERRED_LIFETIME. An RA 
extending the lifetimes of a temporary address can NEVER extend it past 
the values you set in these variables. i.e. These values serve as a ceiling 
for the lifetimes of a temporary address. Would that address your 
renumbering issues?

Thanks
Suresh

Hello all,

Don't know whether this is the right mailing list to pose this question. 
I am looking for commercial DHCPv6 server. Can someone recommend some 
names to me?

Thanks,
Hansen

Hi Hansen,
  I remember seeing two of them. One is from HP and is included in HP-UX 
11i v1. The other one is from NEC. There is also an open source 
implementation at http://dhcpv6.sourceforge.net

Regards
Suresh

Hi Hansen,

    And, NEC's DHCPv6 Relay Agent is open under GPL at 
http://dhcpv6.ccrle.nec.de/downloads.htm
    However, NEC's DHCPv6 Client and Server are not open.

Regards,
O. L. N. Rao

Hi, all.

I posted the following e-mail to multi6-wg a few days ago.
But I guess many of people in this wg also should have
interests in it. So let me cross-post it to here.

I submitted 3 new I-Ds about Source Address Selection issue.
These will appear on ietf web site soon.

The first one is a brief overview of our proposed model.
In short, in our model, ISPs provide Source Address Selection
Policies as well as Prefix Delegation Info by DHCP.
The consumer edge router receives those policies (from
multiple ISPs) and re-distribute them to end nodes.
End nodes put them into policy table, which leads to
appropriate source address selection.

http://www.nttv6.net/~arifumi/draft-arifumi-multi6-sas-policy-dist 
-00.txt

The second and third draft are new option proposals
for Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement Message
and DHCPv6. Though I think these drafts should be
posted to other WG, such as IPv6 and DHC, these drafts
have close relationship with site-multihoming, so I
posted here first.

http://www.nttv6.net/~arifumi/draft-arifumi-ipv6-nd-source-address- 
selection-opt-00.txt
http://www.nttv6.net/~arifumi/draft-hirotaka-dhc-source-address- 
selection-opt-00.txt

IMHO, the second one, namely an extension to RA, has close
relationship with draft-ietf-ipv6-router-selection-06.txt,
these two are essentially targeted for different issues though.


Questions and comments are welcome.

Okay, I think I understand your point, thanks for the detailed
explanation.  I think many other comments from depend on this issue,
so I'll concentrate on this one at the moment.

Regarding your basic question, it probably depends on the meaning of
"change/clarify".  But we are at least going to *change* some part of
the specification that was described in RFC2462.

To explain the background motivation of the *change*, I'd refer to a
past message in this ML from Christian Huitema:

>>>>> On Sat, 24 Apr 2004 22:08:28 -0700,

(Or see
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg02372.html
to get the entire message with the context of the discussion)

In the actual discussion, this was just an intermediate post, and we
did not actually "remove" the corresponding sections for the M/O flags
altogether.  But I believe our consensus in this discussion was that
we'd need more time to bake the precise behavior for the M/O flags
and that the status of the specific action had not reached the level
of a DS.  That's why we decided to leave the specific behavior to a
separate document.

I'd first like to know whether the decision so far is acceptable.

If this is acceptable, the "resolution" for this issue is to make
rfc2462bis (and perhaps 2461bis) less confusing (if it currently is)
on the status of the M/O flags.

I personally do not think it is that confusing to say like: "The
details of how a host may use the M flag, [...] will be described in a
separate document" (rfc24622bis-06, Section 4).  In fact, when RFC2462
became a DS, we even did not have a (standardized) specific "stateful
protocol", but we could still say in the RFC that "the details of
autoconfiguration using the stateful protocol are specified elsewhere."
(abstract of RFC2462)

A possible approach that may help is to clarify why we decided to
leave the specific usage to a separate document, explaining the
current maturity of the M/O flags, without referring to a particular
document.  This is my first (and preferred) proposal.

If this is not enough, we'd need to refer to the "separate document".
In this case, we seriously have to consider the reference category as
you pointed out.  But I personally think we can refer to it (whatever
it is) as an Informational reference, considering the current
maturity.  I also believe we'll then have to wait for at least one wg
document for this (since individual documents are so fragile even as
an informational reference).

Thus, my second proposal is to wait for a wg document and to refer to
it as an informational reference.  (This is the "second" proposal
because I *personally* believe we can safely explain the current
situation without specifying a concrete reference and also because
even wg I-Ds are still often subject to change.)

Again, I'd like to know whether the background motivation is
acceptable, and if it is, whether one of the above proposals can be a
resolution for the issue.

Hi Pekka,
  I am proposing the following changes to resolve the issues that you 
raised. 

* I have made all the changes we both agreed on.

* I have added the following problem statement

  "Addresses generated using Stateless address autoconfiguration
   [ADDRCONF]contain an embedded 64-bit interface identifier, which
   remains constant over time.  Anytime a fixed identifier is used in
   multiple contexts, it becomes possible to correlate seemingly
   unrelated activity using this identifier.

   The correlation can be performed by
   o  An attacker who is in the path between the node in question and
      the peer(s) it is communicating to, and can view the IPv6
      addresses present in the datagrams.
   o  An attacker who can access the communication logs of the peers
      with which the node has communicated.

   Since the identifier is embedded within the IPv6 address, which is a
   fundamental requirement of communication, it cannot be easily hidden.
   This document proposes a solution to this issue by generating
   interface identifiers which vary over time."

* I have added the following text to the background section 2.1

  "Although it might appear
   that changing an address regularly in such environments would be
   desirable to lessen privacy concerns, it should be noted that the
   network prefix portion of an address also serves as a constant
   identifier.  All nodes at (say) a home, would have the same network
   prefix, which identifies the topological location of those nodes.
   This has implications for privacy, though not at the same granularity
   as the concern that this document addresses.  Specifically, all nodes
   within a home could be grouped together for the purposes of
   collecting information.  If the network contains a very small number
   of nodes, say just one, changing just the interface identifier will
   not enhance privacy at all, since the prefix serves as a constant
   identifier."

* Added an informative reference to the dnsop issues draft.

* I hope the problem statement above justifies the use of privacy 
addresses for ULAs

* Added the following text specifying the conditions for DHCPv6 to be used 
for privacy 

  "One way to avoid some of the problems discussed above is to use
   DHCPv6 [DHCPV6] for obtaining addresses.  The DHCPv6 server could be
   configured to hand out addresses that change over time.  But DHCPv6
   will solve the privacy issue only if it frequently handed out
   constantly changing addresses to the nodes.  Since this does not
   happen automatically, and is difficult to configure manually, DHCPv6
   is not really suited for solving the privacy issues addressed by this
   document."

* Removed the text about processing router advertisements and added a 
normative reference to rfc2462bis

* Removed the v6 specific text in "Address Usage in IPv4 today"

Let me know if these changes address your concerns.

Thanks
Suresh

In other words, this extension is not only aimed at protecting the
privacy the outside observers (like the nodes you're communicating
with), but also those who are able to perform on-the-path privacy
violations (ISPs, FBI/NSA intercepting the packets, etc.).

Has the protection from your ISPs and federal agencies etc. really
been the requirement/goal from the start?

I'd like to observe that anyone who will be able to do on-the-path
analysis will be able to jeopardize the privacy of the user typically
in any case.  While I think privacy is pretty important, I fear that
this mechanism is insufficient to provide privacy to the users if
we're concerned about on-path analysis, and I'd be hesitant to include
it in the problem statement without warnings.

I'm interested if others have comments on this.

> * I hope the problem statement above justifies the use of privacy 
> addresses for ULAs

I'm not so sure: so, you'd assume that the evil enterprise 
administrator would be eavesdropping and correlating enterprise's 
internal traffic, or the enterprise's internal web servers would be 
correlating the behaviour?

As far as I can see, it's exactly the opposite -- privacy extensions 
should not be enabled by default for ULAs.

This doesn't mention that DHCPv6 can hand out the temporary addresses, 
but that there is little benefit to do so compared to just doing 
RFC3041 (unless the site has disabled stateless address autoconf 
complately), but this is good enough for me now.

Yes.

On-path does not have to be FBI/NSA or ISPs. It can be anyone on an 
upstream network (even in the same organization as the user). I would
assume if the FBI/NSA or the ISPs wanted to intercept they could do 
so at the layer 2 connection to the provider. Do you want me to add a 
statement about lawful intercept still being possible?

This is already the case. Privacy extensions are disabled by default for 
ALL types of global addresses (including the ULA).

I disagree with the wording of this section regarding the use of DHCPv6 for
privacy addresses:

DHCPv6 includes mechanisms for assignment and management
of "temporary addresses" (see section 12 of RFC 3315).  The frequency of
reassignment for temporary addresses can be as often as desired, and is
independent of the lifetimes for non-temporary addresses.  "difficult to
configure manually" is an entirely subjective assessment, and is dependent
on the specific implementation rather than the protocol itself.

Therefore, I think the text should be edited to read:

    One way to avoid some of the problems discussed above is to use
    DHCPv6 [DHCPV6] for obtaining addresses.  Section 12 of RFC 3315
    discusses the use of DHCPv6 for the assignment and management of
    "temporary addresses" (privacy addresses).  Temporary addresses are
    managed separately from non-temporary addresses, so a host can
    differentiate between the two types of addresses.  The lifetimes of
    temporary addresses are independent of the lifetimes of any other
    addresses, so the frequency of replacement for temporary addresses
    can be adjusted as required.

I wonder if section 2.2 is required at all?  I don't think experience with
IPv4 addressing has much bearing on IPv6.  For example, a device gets an
entirely new IPv4 address when it moves to a new connection point, so
tracking that device as it moves between connection points is hard.  If
section 2.2 is retained, some of the details should be corrected.

Finally, at the risk of nit-picking, I wonder if the phrase "without the
necessity of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server" is really
necessary?  Is the sole purpose of stateless address autoconfiguration to
avoid the menace of DHCP, or does stateless address autoconfiguration avoid
manual configuration, as well?  How about "Nodes use IPv6 stateless address
autoconfiguration generate addresses using a combination of locally
available information and information advertised by routers." (borrowed from
RFC 2462)?

Certainly not by default; the default IID for ULAs is whatever it is
for any other native IPv6 address. Actually, it will be a matter of
corporate IT policy what IIDs are used within an enterprise network.
As draft-vandevelde-v6ops-nap-00.txt discusses, privacy addresses
will be useful in enterprise networks for use with global prefixes,
but there is no obvious need to use them with ULA prefixes.

But I don't find anything in draft-ietf-ipv6-privacy-addrs-v2-00
that makes privacy addresses a default, unless the implementer
happens to make that a configuration choice, which isn't the
IETF's decision.

It doesn't need to be about lawful intercept, but I'd add something 
about the power of being on the path, maybe like:

o  An attacker who is in the path between the node in question and
       the peer(s) it is communicating to, and can view the IPv6
       addresses present in the datagrams.  

                                   However, note that such on the path 
       attacks are likely able to perform significant correlation 
       even with RFC 3041 addresses especially if the payloads are not 
       encrypted.

Yes, it's not default -- but what I want to have is being able to 
distinguish between "enabling privacy for all prefixes" and "enabling 
privacy for global range prefixes".

I.e., the implementations, when privacy is enabled, should not start
using privacy extensions by default for ULA addresses, but doing so
might be configurable.

I think that would be in line with most ULA users' goals.. too bad 
it's relatively difficult to unambugously say what those global, 
non-ULA addresses should be called..

The statement was referring to the changing the permanent addresses 
regularly to avoid giving out stable identifiers.

I think this misses the main point.  The text seems to be saying, "if
you want privacy, DHCPv6 allocating public + privacy addresses
provides you a way to do that", but there is no fundamental reason why 
to use DHCPv6 for that.

Certainly it wouldn't make sense to deploy DHCPv6 privacy address 
assignment (if public ones are done with SLAAC), right?

So, I think the tone of text should be something like:

 "If DHCPv6 is already used for address assignment, it makes sense to
use DHCPv6 for privacy address assignment as well especially if SLAAC
is not used at all; if not, using RFC 3041(bis) for privacy addresses
makes much more sense"

No objections from me, even though I don't think that's an issue one
way or the other.  "Menace of DHCP" for address assignment may or may
not be an issue.  Beyond that, whether or not DHCP server (e.g., for
info requests) exists is irrelevant.

I would rather state something like this

"However, note that an attacker, who is on path, may be able to
 perform significant correlation based on the payloads of the packets
 on the wire. Use of temporary addresses will not prevent such payload
 based correlation"

This clearly indicates that the correlation is done using data present 
in the payload. Is this text acceptable to you?

One way to go about this will be to attach a disable flag for specific 
prefix ranges. i.e. fc00::/7 in case of ULAs. This flag will override the 
global enable setting if present for the fc00::/7 range.

I will add the following text after the first paragraph of 
"Deployment Considerations"

"Additionally, sites might wish to disable the use of temporary 
 addresses for some prefixes while still using them for other global 
 prefixes. For example, a site might wish to disable temporary address 
 generation for "Unique local" [ULA] prefixes while still generating
 temporary addresses for all other global prefixes.To support this behavior,
 implementations MAY provide a way  to disable generation of temporary
 addresses for specific prefix subranges. This setting, if present, 
 MUST override the global settings on the node with respect to the
 specified prefix subranges."

I'm slightly unconformtable with this approach for a couple of
reasons.  First, by default, privacy addresses are generated for ULAs
as well.  Second, such a flag is just a MAY.

What I'd propose is specify that ULAs SHOULD be excluded by default
when privacy addresses are enabled, but that there MAY [or SHOULD] be 
a flag to enable privacy addresses for ULAs.

Would that be reasonable?

Note that this will create a dependency on ULA spec(s) becoming RFC
before this one does (so that the IANA assigns the prefix range), but
that might not be a problem, as AFAIR they're relatively far in the
process.  There's no need for normative reference as we want just to
know the prefix(es).

I think it would be better to RECOMMEND that an implementation should
support netmasks for privacy addresses to be enabled, e.g. enable
them for 2001::/16 and 2002::/16 only, else disable. Then you don't
have to call out ULAs at all.

I see your point, but the text is about ALTERNATIVE approaches to privacy 
addresses, which means that DHCPv6 needs to be able create random 
addresses and rotate the addresses without the aid of the client. 
AFAIK, the IA_TA option requires the client to still generate the 
interface identifier and send it to the server. Nothing in the text 
precludes the use of DHCP to hand out temporary addresses.

It is more like "why this problem did not exist with IPv4 in the same 
scale". I would like to retain the text since it provides background 
information. Do you have any specific issues with the text? I will make 
changes to correct any wrong details.

I retained the text from the previous version because I could not come up 
with anything better and accurate. I will come up with some text which 
will not vilify DHCP ;-)

Hi Brian,
  That sounds fair to me. I will come up with text with SHOULD language 
for per-prefix enabling of privacy addresses. I just have to figure out 
how it will interact/override with the global enable/disable option. 

Pekka,
  If I make this change, would you still like me to add specific defaults 
for ULAs?

Thanks
Suresh

I would also mention packet sizes and timing in addition to payload
content.  My understanding is that you can recover a surprising amount
of useful information without even looking at the payloads.

I can live with 2001::/16 + 2002::/16, but I think that's a bad choice 
for multiple reasons.  What if we invent 6to4v2 which uses 2005::/16 
and we'd like to automatically apply these semantics to it?  What if 
we run out of 2001::/16 for native allocations?  -- actually we've 
already 1/3 used it up.

Thus being generic and excluding just those that we _know_ aren't
really, really global might seem as a better approach -- one that we
might not need to tweak e.g., 2-3 years down the road..

Hello,

I'd like to find out what is the current status of the draft
'draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-name-lookups-10.txt' and what are the plans to
move or not move it forward.  I notice that it expired some time ago,
however it still appears to be on the WG schedule.

Thanks,
Sergey

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IP Tunnel MIB
	Author(s)	: D. Thaler
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-inet-tunnel-mib-03.txt
	Pages		: 27
	Date		: 2004-10-20
	
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module for
use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing
tunnels of any type over IPv4 and IPv6 networks.  Extension MIB
modules may be designed for managing protocol-specific objects.
Likewise, extension MIB modules may be designed for managing
security-specific objects.  This MIB module does not support
tunnels over non-IP networks.  Management of such tunnels may be
supported by other MIB modules.

This memo obsoletes RFC 2667.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IPv6 Host to Router Load Sharing
	Author(s)	: R. Hinden, D. Thaler
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-host-load-sharing-03.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 2004-10-21
	
The original IPv6 conceptual sending algorithm does not do load-
sharing among equivalent IPv6 routers, and suggests schemes which
can be problematic in practice.  This document updates the
conceptual sending algorithm so that traffic to different
destinations can be distributed among routers in an efficient
fashion.

Hi Pekka/Brian,
  I was thinking of enable/disable flags for separate prefixes which 
override the global settings. 

Let's say you want privacy addresses for everything but ULA 
you would have the following settings

Global   -> Enabled
fc00::/7 -> Disabled

Let's say Brian just wants to enable them for 2001::/16 and 2002::/16

Global    -> Disabled
2001::/16 -> Enabled
2002::/16 -> Enabled

I think that should address both your concern and Brian's concern.

Thanks
Suresh

Hi Bill,
  
>I would also mention packet sizes and timing in addition to payload
>content.  My understanding is that you can recover a surprising amount
>of useful information without even looking at the payloads. 

I would agree with you that a an attacker can extrapolate a lot about the 
data, using packet sizes and timing. But do you feel that the size of the 
packets and the timing can be used to correlate the IDENTITY of the victim? 

Thanks
Suresh

Hi Bill,
  Can you give me more details or a pointer to such an attack? I will add 
add some text and a reference to it.

Thanks
Suresh

Arvind,

I believe that Inverse Discovery (RFC3122) has its own rules, within its 
own scope, which is Inverse Discovery, as opposed to Discovery. These 
rules apply generically to the typical users of Inverse Discovery, like 
ATM, or Frame Relay.

I hope this helps,
Alex

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-icmp-v3-05.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader

Hi Pekka/Brian,
	This is the text I added to have a per-prefix enable/disable 
setting. Hope it resolves your issues. 

  "Additionally, sites might wish to selectively enable or disable the
   use of temporary addresses for some prefixes.  For example, a site
   might wish to disable temporary address generation for "Unique local"
   [ULA] prefixes while still generating temporary addresses for all
   other global prefixes.  Another site might wish to enable temporary
   address generation only for the prefixes 2001::/16 and 2002::/16
   while disabling it for all other prefixes.  To support this behavior,
   implementations SHOULD provide a way to enable and disable generation
   of temporary addresses for specific prefix subranges.  This
   per-prefix setting SHOULD override the global settings on the node
   with respect to the specified prefix subranges."

Thanks
Suresh

Hi Bill,
  I have added the following text to include packet sizes and timing

  "Please note that an attacker, who is on path, may be able to perform
   significant correlation based on
   o  The payload contents of the packets on the wire
   o  The characteristics of the packets such as packet size and timing
   Use of temporary addresses will not prevent such payload based
   correlation"

Hope that resolves your issue.

Thanks
Suresh

Hi Ralph,

*  The abstract no longer refers to DHCP.

  "Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate
   addresses using a combination of locally available information and
   information advertised by routers.  Addresses are formed by combining
   network prefixes with an interface identifier"

* The alternate approach text now reads

  "One way to avoid some of the problems discussed above is to use
   DHCPv6 [DHCPV6] for obtaining addresses.  The DHCPv6 server could be
   configured to hand out addresses that change over time.  But DHCPv6
   will solve the privacy issue only if it frequently handed out
   constantly changing addresses to the nodes.  Since this does not
   happen automatically, and is difficult to configure manually, DHCPv6
   is not a self contained alternative for solving the privacy issues
   addressed by this document.  However, in the absence of stateless
   address autoconfiguration, DHCPv6 can be used for distributing
   temporary addresses to clients."

Hope that resolves your issues.

Thanks
Suresh

</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After San Diego meeting, we've tried to reflect all comments and</p>
<p>feedbacks surrounding M and O flag of IPv6 RA and the revised</p>
<p>version &nbsp;is more clear than before IMO,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&lt;Change log from initial version&gt;</p>
<p>

1. 
lots of text improvement and clarification from the&nbsp;initial version.</p>
<p>2. New term. such as &quot;Host Configuration Behaviour&quot; and &quot;Information 
Configuration Behaviour&quot;</p>
<p>3. New IPv6 host variables such as &quot;M-Flag&quot; and &quot;O-Flag&quot; 
instead of &nbsp;&quot;ManagedFlag&quot; and
   &quot;OtherConfigFlag&quot;</p>
<p>4. Clarification of Host Behaviour</p>
<p>5. New section as &quot;Router Advertisement Unavailability&quot;</p>

Subject: State diagram does not consider NA with S=1 O = 0


Issue description:

>From Peter Grubmair:

In the state diagram in RFC2461-bis
in Appendic C, page 79, the event of receiving
a NA with solicitated = 1 and Override = 0
in state DELAY is not handled.
To my understanding the same treatment as in
state STALE or PROBE has to be applied.
To me it also seems, that the state DELAY can
be treated to equal to PROBE, only the start of timer in
state STALE has to use another timing value as
starting the timer uppon timeout in PROBE state.
In my model entering the PROBE state does not
send NS, but only starts the delay timer.
This can be done without changing behavior, maybe
state DELAY should be dropped.

=> I've added DELAY to the states STALE and PROBE
in the state machine. 

This issue is now resolved.

Issue description:

An NA with O=0, S=0, and no LLAO can cause neighbor cache entries to be
marked STALE. This will cause NUD to be performed on the address. See
section 7.2.5.

=> This was a simple editorial change in 7.2.5.
Starting from the third paragraph, this is how section
7.2.5 now reads:

In any state, if the link layer has addresses and an unsolicited
Neighbor Advertisement is received with the O flag cleared, with no
Target Link-Layer address option is included, the receiving node SHOULD
silently discard the received advertisement.

If the target's Neighbor Cache entry is in the INCOMPLETE state when
the advertisement is received, one of two things happens.    Otherwise,
the receiving node performs the following

Elwyn,=20

Thanks for your detailed review.
=20
Sorry for the late response, comments inline. I addressed all =
editorials.=20
BTW, I'd appreciate it if you could respond in text format.

Substantive comments:=20
S2.2 and S3:=20
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types =
(including NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.

A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable =
links...' (just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the =
previous note might take it that actually all links are =
multicast-capable.  The term should be explicitly defined so as to =
explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of links that this phrase is =
not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be done optionally on this =
sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.  This is also related =
to the comment on 6.2.1 below.=20

=3D> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 =
thread). We can make the=20

link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But =
apart from that the current

spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses =
NBMA links.

The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which =
is a different issue.

So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do =
the job IMO.

=20

S3: Technically DAD is not defined in 2461 but in 2462 =20

=3D> Changed it to :

Address Autoconfiguration: Introduces the mechanisms needed in =
<?xml:namespace prefix =3D o ns =3D =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

              order to allow nodes to automatically configure =20

              an  address for an interface .

=20

S3.1: Next to last para:  'Using the Hop Limit equal to 255 trick'  is =
rather informal and also what the trick is should either be defined here =
or a forward ref given as this is the first mention of this 'trick'. =
[Metaquestion: should the same trick be used in MLD?]=20

=3D> Changed the wording there. I don't really have an answer to the MLD =
question right now. Interesting point=20

though.=20

S4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5:  I believe that in many circumstances the =
addressing of the ND packets does not meet the standard scope =
consistency rules for source and destination addresses.  This is not a =
problem but it would probably be wise to add a note that these packets =
should not be subject to such consistency checks.=20

=3D> Done. I added the following text to the end of S2.3:

    Note that this specification does not strictly comply with the =
consistency requirements for the scopes of source and  destination =
addresses. It is possible in some cases for hosts to use a source =
address of a larger scope than the destination address in the IPv6 =
header.=20

S4.6, S4.6.1, S4.6.3: Option lengths are measured in units of 8 octets =
but nothing is said about padding out options if the content does not =
make it up to an even multiple of 8 bytes.  Some link layer addresses =
(s4.6.1) might not be obliging and there is no guarantee that the packet =
body in 4.6.3 will be an obliging multiple of 8 octets.=20

=3D> S4.6 now starts with the following paragraph:

Neighbor Discovery messages include zero or more options, some of   =
which may appear multiple times in the same message.  Options should be =
padded when necessary to ensure that they end on their natural 64-bit =
boundaries. All options are of the form:=20

[S5:  Prefix List:  Having removed the 'assume it is on link' if no =
routers, it might be useful to allow a prefix to be inserted into the =
prefix list by manual configuration when dealing with a single link =
net.]=20

=3D> Is this really needed? Isn't enough to be able to configure an =
address given that the next hop

determination is based on a longest prefix match? I won't add this =
unless you see a reason for it.=20

s5.2: It ought to be stated that if the default router list is empty =
then off-link unicast packets will have to be dropped and an =
'unreachable' ICMP message sent.[whether the packet ought to have got as =
far as the interface processing is a moot point].=20

=3D>   Hmmm. How does this work in the case where the destination =
address is on the other

end of an IPv4 tunnel and there is no default router in the list? This =
is why the onlink assumption

was removed.=20

s 6.3.4: (next to last para on p49):  The restriction in setting the =
LinkMTU to be not greater than the default value specified in the link =
type specific document is odd and actually inconsistent with the =
statements in RFC2590 for example (which allows LinkMTUs both larger and =
smaller than the default).=20

=3D> I don't know why this restriction was put, so I'll start a separate =
thread on this issue. =20

S6.3.6 (Item 3) should be removed (agreed elsewhere) - but it should be =
emphasised that this may result in the default router list being empty=20

=3D> Done.=20

S6.1, 7.1, 8.1: S7.1 refers to checking that if the message has an AH =
header then it should authenticate correctly:  S6.1 and 8.1 should be =
consistent with this and there should probably be mention of =
authentication with ESP and ensuring that the packet decrypts properly =
(or alternatively remove the note from 7.1 perhaps).=20

=3D> I think you meant 8.1. I removed the reference to AH there.=20

s6.2.1: What is a 'multicast interface'? Is it a 'multicast-capable' =
interface?  But most of this ought to apply to any interface on a router =
if it does ND. This is tied into the lack of precision as to what a =
'multicast capable' interface is.=20

 =3D> I removed "multicast", it now reads: "For each interface". I think =
this is more accurate because it works

for any interface where ND is used, including point to point links. Is =
this ok? or do you prefer to keep=20

it and instead make it "multicast capable interface" given the =
definition of multicast capable in 2.2?

S6.2.2, 7.2.1,7.2.8: The expression 'join the multicast group' needs to =
be reinforced to explicitly call out the use of MLD i.e. the interface =
has to be configured to listen to the multicast address and send the =
appropriate MLD Listener message in all cases. It should probably also =
be made clear that the the Listener report has to be sent again after =
the interface has acquired a preferred address.=20

=20

=3D> 6.2.2 talks about routers joining the all routers multicast =
address. This doesn't need MLD,=20

it's a constant.=20

7.2.1 Talks about both, all nodes and the solicited node's multicast =
address. I agree with you

on the latter and added text to clarify the nodes should use MLD.=20

 7.2.8 was updated to include a SHOULD use MLD as was done for 7.2.1.

Thanks,

Hesham=20

Hi,=20

The following comment was received from Elwyn Davies:

	S6.3.4: (next to last para on p49):  The restriction in setting the =
LinkMTU to be not 	greater than the default value specified in the link =
type specific document is odd and 	actually inconsistent with the =
statements in RFC2590 for example (which allows LinkMTUs 	both larger =
and smaller than the default).=20

I'm not sure about the history of this so I wanted to get some=20
feedback from the authors or other members if possible. It is=20
true that RFC 2590 allows for MTUs to be larger or smaller
than the default, provided that they're above 1280.=20

Thoughts?

Hesham

I think this is an error in RFC 2461. To correct it there is perhaps a 
need to make the destinction between the default MTU and the upper 
limit. In the case of Ethernet (ignoring jumboframes) both values are 
the same which is why the wording is off.

So if the IP-over-foo specification has a hard upper limit, then MTU 
options larger than this should be ignored. But is it ok for the MTU 
option to be larger than the default MTU.

I would like to see a new Code added to the Parameter Problem Message
Type ([ICMPv6], section 3.4) whereby the end host or a router on the path
can inform the source that unspecified data corruption was encountered
in the packet. The code definition should appear as a new item at the
end of the current list as follows:
 
    3 - unspecified data corruption encountered
 
Note that in this case, the Pointer might point to a byte offset in the
packet body beyond the end of the IPv6 header and header extensions.
The Description text should therefore also be re-worded slightly to allow
for this fact as follows:

   "If an IPv6 node processing a packet finds a problem such that it cannot
   complete processing the packet, it MUST discard the packet and SHOULD
   send an ICMPv6 Parameter Problem message to the packet's source,
   indicating the type and location of the problem.

   The pointer identifies the octet of the original packet where the error was
   detected.  For example, an ICMPv6 message with Type field = 4, Code
   field = 1, and Pointer field = 40 would indicate that the IPv6 extension
   header following the IPv6 header of the original packet holds an
   unrecognized Next Header field value."

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
	Author(s)	: T. Narten, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-privacy-addrs-v2-01.txt
	Pages		: 29
	Date		: 2004-10-25
	
Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate
   addresses without the necessity of a Dynamic Host Configuration
   Protocol (DHCP) server.  Addresses are formed by combining network
   prefixes with an interface identifier.  On interfaces that contain
   embedded IEEE Identifiers, the interface identifier is typically
   derived from it.  On other interface types, the interface identifier

   is generated through other means, for example, via random number
   generation.  This document describes an extension to IPv6 stateless
   address autoconfiguration for interfaces whose interface identifier
   is derived from an IEEE identifier.  Use of the extension causes
   nodes to generate global scope addresses from interface identifiers
   that change over time, even in cases where the interface contains an
   embedded IEEE identifier.  Changing the interface identifier (and the
   global scope addresses generated from it) over time makes it more
   difficult for eavesdroppers and other information collectors to
   identify when different addresses used in different transactions
   actually correspond to the same node.

Hi, Hesham,

Thanks for the updates - for the majority I'll check the draft when it
appears.

I split out the multicast and prefix issues into separate threads.

Regards,
Elwyn

PS
Hope my stupid mail server remembers to send this as plain text.

Subject: RE: Comments for rc2461bis


Elwyn, 

Thanks for your detailed review.

Sorry for the late response, comments inline. I addressed all editorials. 
BTW, I'd appreciate it if you could respond in text format.
Substantive comments: 
S2.2 and S3: 
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types (including
NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.
A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable links...'
(just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the previous note might
take it that actually all links are multicast-capable.  The term should be
explicitly defined so as to explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of
links that this phrase is not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be
done optionally on this sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.
This is also related to the comment on 6.2.1 below. 
=> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 thread).
We can make the 
link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But
apart from that the current
spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses NBMA
links.
The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which is a
different issue.
So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do the
job IMO.

S3: Technically DAD is not defined in 2461 but in 2462  
=> Changed it to :
Address Autoconfiguration: Introduces the mechanisms needed in 
              order to allow nodes to automatically configure  
              an  address for an interface .

S3.1: Next to last para:  'Using the Hop Limit equal to 255 trick'  is
rather informal and also what the trick is should either be defined here or
a forward ref given as this is the first mention of this 'trick'.
[Metaquestion: should the same trick be used in MLD?] 
=> Changed the wording there. I don't really have an answer to the MLD
question right now. Interesting point 
though. 
S4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5:  I believe that in many circumstances the
addressing of the ND packets does not meet the standard scope consistency
rules for source and destination addresses.  This is not a problem but it
would probably be wise to add a note that these packets should not be
subject to such consistency checks. 
=> Done. I added the following text to the end of S2.3:
    Note that this specification does not strictly comply with the
consistency requirements for the scopes of source and  destination
addresses. It is possible in some cases for hosts to use a source address of
a larger scope than the destination address in the IPv6 header. 
S4.6, S4.6.1, S4.6.3: Option lengths are measured in units of 8 octets but
nothing is said about padding out options if the content does not make it up
to an even multiple of 8 bytes.  Some link layer addresses (s4.6.1) might
not be obliging and there is no guarantee that the packet body in 4.6.3 will
be an obliging multiple of 8 octets. 
=> S4.6 now starts with the following paragraph:
Neighbor Discovery messages include zero or more options, some of   which
may appear multiple times in the same message.  Options should be padded
when necessary to ensure that they end on their natural 64-bit boundaries.
All options are of the form: 
[S5:  Prefix List:  Having removed the 'assume it is on link' if no routers,
it might be useful to allow a prefix to be inserted into the prefix list by
manual configuration when dealing with a single link net.] 
=> Is this really needed? Isn't enough to be able to configure an address
given that the next hop
determination is based on a longest prefix match? I won't add this unless
you see a reason for it. 
s5.2: It ought to be stated that if the default router list is empty then
off-link unicast packets will have to be dropped and an 'unreachable' ICMP
message sent.[whether the packet ought to have got as far as the interface
processing is a moot point]. 
=>   Hmmm. How does this work in the case where the destination address is
on the other
end of an IPv4 tunnel and there is no default router in the list? This is
why the onlink assumption
was removed. 
s 6.3.4: (next to last para on p49):  The restriction in setting the LinkMTU
to be not greater than the default value specified in the link type specific
document is odd and actually inconsistent with the statements in RFC2590 for
example (which allows LinkMTUs both larger and smaller than the default). 
=> I don't know why this restriction was put, so I'll start a separate
thread on this issue.  
S6.3.6 (Item 3) should be removed (agreed elsewhere) - but it should be
emphasised that this may result in the default router list being empty 
=> Done. 
S6.1, 7.1, 8.1: S7.1 refers to checking that if the message has an AH header
then it should authenticate correctly:  S6.1 and 8.1 should be consistent
with this and there should probably be mention of authentication with ESP
and ensuring that the packet decrypts properly (or alternatively remove the
note from 7.1 perhaps). 
=> I think you meant 8.1. I removed the reference to AH there. 
s6.2.1: What is a 'multicast interface'? Is it a 'multicast-capable'
interface?  But most of this ought to apply to any interface on a router if
it does ND. This is tied into the lack of precision as to what a 'multicast
capable' interface is. 
 => I removed "multicast", it now reads: "For each interface". I think this
is more accurate because it works
for any interface where ND is used, including point to point links. Is this
ok? or do you prefer to keep 
it and instead make it "multicast capable interface" given the definition of
multicast capable in 2.2?
S6.2.2, 7.2.1,7.2.8: The expression 'join the multicast group' needs to be
reinforced to explicitly call out the use of MLD i.e. the interface has to
be configured to listen to the multicast address and send the appropriate
MLD Listener message in all cases. It should probably also be made clear
that the the Listener report has to be sent again after the interface has
acquired a preferred address. 

=> 6.2.2 talks about routers joining the all routers multicast address. This
doesn't need MLD, 
it's a constant. 
7.2.1 Talks about both, all nodes and the solicited node's multicast
address. I agree with you
on the latter and added text to clarify the nodes should use MLD. 
 7.2.8 was updated to include a SHOULD use MLD as was done for 7.2.1.
Thanks,
Hesham

Hi.

Using the term 'multicast services' around this area is confusing.  If the
link MUST provide multicast services maybe that is something that should be
in the basic definition of IPv6 (it isn't stated explicitly in RFC2460)
rather than in 2461bis.

Expanding on what I said originally, one reasonable interpretation of the
requirement that all links support multicast services is that they are in
some sense 'multicast capable': if you take this view then *all* links are
necessarily multicast capable.

So I think the problem is that the language doesn't properly convey what I
think is the intention: I believe we are trying to distinguish between:
- links that provide multicast *as a Layer 2 capability* ('The hardware does
multicast')
- links that don't, so that the multicast services have to be provided as an
overlay

Hope this clarifies my point.

Regards,
Elwyn

Original Message
================
S2.2 and S3: 
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types (including
NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.

A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable links...'
(just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the previous note might
take it that actually all links are multicast-capable.  The term should be
explicitly defined so as to explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of
links that this phrase is not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be
done optionally on this sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.
This is also related to the comment on 6.2.1 below. 

=> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 thread).
We can make the 

link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But
apart from that the current

spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses NBMA
links.

The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which is a
different issue.

So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do the
job IMO.

Hi.

Quoting from S5.2:

   Next-hop determination for a given unicast destination operates as
   follows.  The sender performs a longest prefix match against the
   Prefix List to determine whether the packet's destination is on- or
   off-link.  If the destination is on-link, the next-hop address is the
   same as the packet's destination address.  Otherwise, the sender
   selects a router from the Default Router List (following the rules
   described in Section 6.3.6).

So if there are no routers admitting to be connected to the link and the
prefix list is empty (no routers to fill it), what happens here?  Presumably
the longest prefix match will fail implying that the address is off link.
Hence we have to find a router, but there isn't one.  What do we do with the
packet?

With a point-to-point link (like the tunnels) we could just stuff the packet
down the link and hand off the decision to the other end.  For an isolated
multiaccess link the decision is not so simple: Just having our own address
doesn't allow us to decide whether any other address is on link, so if the
destination is not in the neighbor cache already what do we do? Toss the
packet or assume it is on-link? Being able to configure an on-link prefix
would solve the problem IMO.

Am I missing something here?

elwyn

Maybe some text needs to be updated to reflect the fact that in the 
previous spec, if the default router list was empty, the packet was 
tossed on the link ("onlink assumption"), which has now been removed.

If there is no default router, and the destination address isn't in 
prefix, then the host has no route to the destination, and likely 
returns an internal ICMP error message.

Hi.

Using the term 'multicast services' around this area is confusing.  If the
link MUST provide multicast services maybe that is something that should be
in the basic definition of IPv6 (it isn't stated explicitly in RFC2460)
rather than in 2461bis.

Expanding on what I said originally, one reasonable interpretation of the
requirement that all links support multicast services is that they are in
some sense 'multicast capable': if you take this view then *all* links are
necessarily multicast capable.

So I think the problem is that the language doesn't properly convey what I
think is the intention: I believe we are trying to distinguish between:
- links that provide multicast *as a Layer 2 capability* ('The hardware does
multicast')
- links that don't, so that the multicast services have to be provided as an
overlay

Hope this clarifies my point.

Regards,
Elwyn

Original Message
================
S2.2 and S3: 
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types (including
NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.

A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable links...'
(just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the previous note might
take it that actually all links are multicast-capable.  The term should be
explicitly defined so as to explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of
links that this phrase is not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be
done optionally on this sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.
This is also related to the comment on 6.2.1 below. 

=> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 thread).
We can make the 

link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But
apart from that the current

spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses NBMA
links.

The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which is a
different issue.

So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do the
job IMO.

Your mail server forgot ;)

Using the term 'multicast services' around this area is confusing.  If =
the link MUST provide multicast services maybe that is something that =
should be in the basic definition of IPv6 (it isn't stated explicitly in =
RFC2460) rather than in 2461bis.=20

=20

Expanding on what I said originally, one reasonable interpretation of =
the requirement that all links support multicast services is that they =
are in some sense 'multicast capable': if you take this view then *all* =
links are necessarily multicast capable.

So I think the problem is that the language doesn't properly convey what =
I think is the intention: I believe we are trying to distinguish =
between:

- links that provide multicast *as a Layer 2 capability* ('The hardware =
does multicast')=20
- links that don't, so that the multicast services have to be provided =
as an overlay =20

=3D> Exactly.  I guess our difference is that I get the distinction from =
the spec when

I read it now (with "multicsat capable" replacing "multicsat" in 2.2). =
Is that a sufficient

change ? Let me know if you think another change is needed.=20

S2.2 and S3:=20
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types =
(including NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.

A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable =
links...' (just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the =
previous note might take it that actually all links are =
multicast-capable.  The term should be explicitly defined so as to =
explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of links that this phrase is =
not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be done optionally on this =
sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.  This is also related =
to the comment on 6.2.1 below.=20

=3D> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 =
thread). We can make the=20

link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But =
apart from that the current=20

spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses =
NBMA links.=20

The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which =
is a different issue.=20

So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do =
the job IMO.=20

=3D> There are two basic cases to consider:
1. Dst address is off-link (i.e. longest prefix match fails).
In this case you'll either send it over the tunnel or drop
the packet if there is no tunnel.=20
2. Longest prefix match works, destination is on-link. This will
work.=20

=3D> You must be assuming that you can have a link with
no routers and inconsistent prefixes on different hosts.=20
For instance, you're assuming that you can have an isolated
link where host1's address is configured from one prefix
and host2's address is configured based on a completely
different one. When we discussed this issue last year there
was agreement that if you have this scenario, hosts should be=20
configured from the same prefix. If that happens, there should not
be a problem with on-link determination. You don't need to=20
manually add a prefix to the prefix list here, you simply=20
configure all addresses using the same prefix.

Yes, I think so.  Whatever the "stateful" protocol(s) is, or however
we invoke the protocol(s) based on the M/O flags, it is completely a
separate process from the base ND protocol or stateless address
autoconfiguration (or DAD for that matter).  In particular, we can (or
"should" when necessary) run stateless address autoconfiguration and
DHCPv6 for address allocation concurrently.

One subtle point is that DAD should apply to addresses allocated
through DHCPv6.  But I believe we can handle this separately from the
meaning/usage of the M/O flags.

I believe the existing documents (2461/2462) already clarify the point
to some extent, but perhaps we'll need to be more specific.

Point taken, and I tend to agree.

Since this may cause a significant change to the current version of
the document, I'll make a separate thread on this specific issue.

Hello,

Based on a recent discussion on rfc2462bis with Margaret in a part of
her AD review results, I now think we'll need further clarifications
on the M/O flags.

As I said in a previous response to Margaret, we have decided and made
the following change to rfc2462bis:

1. remove some "mandatory" wording on these flags and clarify that
   these flags are just hints of availability of the corresponding
   services (DHCPv6).
2. leave more details to other document(s)

The basic background of this decision is that we've not reached a
matured level for a DS on deployment experiences of DHCPv6.  (see
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg02372.html
to get the entire message with the context of the discussion)

I'm quite sure that we saw a clear consensus on the basic idea.

But as a result, we have a vague reference to the "other document",
without specifying a particular document in the references section.
This may make rfc2462bis "incomplete".

There is an ongoing work on the detailed usage of the M/O flags, and
we could refer to that document from rfc2462bis.  However, the only
"ongoing work" is currently just an individual document, and I'm not
sure how long it takes to be completed, or even whether we adopt it as
a wg item in the first place.  This would make the reference from
rfc2462bis unstable and/or would cause another delay for rfc2462bis.

We need to endure the delay if it's inevitable.  However, as Margaret
indicated, most part of rfc2462bis is independent from the usage of
the M/O flags.  In fact, creating a link-local/global address by the
stateless autoconfiguration procedure, DAD, or address lifetime
management are basically all independent from how we use the M/O
flags.  Also, whether we invoke DHCPv6 when receiving an RA with the M
flag being ON does not affect whether we perform stateless address
autoconfiguration when receiving an RA with some prefix information,
or vice versa.  In some cases (e.g., for DAD), we need to consider
addresses allocated via DHCPv6 as well as addresses configured through
stateless configuration.  However, I believe we can simply say
"addresses allocated via DHCPv6" in such cases without mentioning the
M/O flags.

So, I now tend to propose the following approach:

- clearly saying in rfc2462bis "it does not specify the use of the M/O
  flags." (not mentioning other documents).  Specifically, remove the
  7th paragraph of Section 4 (beginning with "The details of how a
  host may use the M flag...")
- also clarifying in rfc2462bis that the protocol described in
  rfc2462bis should be performed independently from these flags (in a
  clearer way).

(and, if we take this idea, the "separate document", whatever it is,
should become a PS instead of a BCP as we originally planned).

Please note that this is NOT an attempt to "remove" or "deprecate" the
M/O flags.  We've already discussed the idea and rejected it, and I
don't see a reason for revisiting the past arguments.  This is an
attempt to make rfc2462bis more self-contained and more matured as a
DS, considering the current implementation/deployment experiences of
the M/O flags and the other parts of the original RFC2462.

Still, this will require non-trivial changes to the current version of
rfc2462bis, so I'd like to get explicit agreement/disagreement from
the working group.

Dear All,

People, who are interested in IPv6 Anycast discussion, please read
this mail.

I thing there are many people who are interested in IPv6 Anycast.
Since IPv6 Anycast has many good potential functionalities, many
people are expecting that it will be widely used in the real-world.

Currently, IPv6 Anycast is only used at limited area for limited
purpose. It is a pity that IPv6 Anycast is not widely used.
This situation should be changed.

A small IPv6 Anycast discussion team has been made by people who are
interested in this topic.

http://anycast.anarg.jp/
	is a web site for IPv6 Anycast discussion.
anycast@anarg.jp 
	is a ML for it.

People, who are interested in IPv6 Anycast discussion, please join this
ML and let us know your comments. Let's discuss on IPv6 Anycast issues 
at this ML.
(Instruction how to join the ML is written in above web site.)


We have already issued four I-Ds on IPv6 Anycast.
(Of course, they are under construction.)

1. IPv6 Anycast Terminology Definition
2. Applicability Statement of IPv6 Anycasting
3. A Protocol for Anycast Address Resolving
4. Possible Deployment Scenarios for IPv6 Anycasting

You can find them at above web site.

We'd like to have a Practical Anycasting BoF in the near future. 
We have already talked with Internet Area Directors on this issue.
A draft for charter proposal is written in above web site, 
please read them and let us know your comments.

Regards,
Hiroshi

> A Protocol for Anycast Address Resolving

	due to the way the proposal resolves (or hides) anycast address
	into unicast address, we will experience a severe problem.  application
	thinks that it is communicating with anycast address AA, but ARL
	(basically a NAT within client) translates it into unicast address.

	therefore, applications which embeds address into its protocol payload
	(like ftp) won't work as expected. section 4 (applicability statement)
	is not true.

	appendix A (how to map anycast address into unicast) basically has no
	security considerations.  section 5 (security consideration) is also
	too weak.

	another issue with this approach is, that anycast is being used as
	service discovery mechnaism on the first contact only.  anycast has
	other benefits such as failure recovery/tolerance.  these benefits are
	gone with this draft.

looking back at the text in S2.2, the reason for using multicast-capable
rather than just multicast was that multicast-capable was (i think) supposed
to cover both multicast links which have native support and point-to-point
links which do multicast degenerately.  i think that my problem could be
solved by adding a sentence (or separate definition) in 2.2 to say just that
i.e.

multicast-capable link - a link which is either point-to-point or multicast
type

then i think the substitution s/multicast/multicast-capable/ elsewhere works
fine.

the remark that 'all link types are expected to provide multicast services
for IP' really deserves some exploration other than in 2461bis.  if this is
really a requirement for *all* scopes of multicast service then it is
manifestly not being met by most IPv6 implementations.  for ND all we need
is multicast at the link level. DHCPv6 may need it at the site level.  but
what should we expect from a general implementation in the way of multicast
services?  there is really a considerable amount of vagueness about this
across all the specifications.

Elwyn

Your mail server forgot ;)

=> Grr! Hate, hate.

Using the term 'multicast services' around this area is confusing.  If the
link MUST provide multicast services maybe that is something that should be
in the basic definition of IPv6 (it isn't stated explicitly in RFC2460)
rather than in 2461bis. 

Expanding on what I said originally, one reasonable interpretation of the
requirement that all links support multicast services is that they are in
some sense 'multicast capable': if you take this view then *all* links are
necessarily multicast capable.
So I think the problem is that the language doesn't properly convey what I
think is the intention: I believe we are trying to distinguish between:
- links that provide multicast *as a Layer 2 capability* ('The hardware does
multicast') 
- links that don't, so that the multicast services have to be provided as an
overlay  
=> Exactly.  I guess our difference is that I get the distinction from the
spec when
I read it now (with "multicsat capable" replacing "multicsat" in 2.2). Is
that a sufficient
change ? Let me know if you think another change is needed. 
Hesham

Hope this clarifies my point.

Original Message 
================ 
S2.2 and S3: 
The note after the NBMA definition says that '...all link types (including
NBMA) are expected to provide multicast service for IP...'.
A naive interpretation of the phrase in S3 'On multicast-capable links...'
(just after the Redirect bullet) in conjunction with the previous note might
take it that actually all links are multicast-capable.  The term should be
explicitly defined so as to explicitly exclude NBMA and any other sort of
links that this phrase is not supposed to apply to - or to allow it to be
done optionally on this sort of link - the current wordings are too vague.
This is also related to the comment on 6.2.1 below. 
=> I'm not sure I see the problem you see (and I looked at the 2462 thread).
We can make the 
link definition for multicast, a definition for "multicast capable". But
apart from that the current 
spec states refers to other docs in the introduction when it discusses NBMA
links. 
The text you refer to above is talking about multicast services, which is a
different issue. 
So for now, I'll s/multicast/multicast capable in 2.2 and that should do the
job IMO.

I think it was forgotten to clarify the ICMPv6 rate-limiting language 
(at the very least, using 'originate' instead of 'send') based on the 
consensus called at:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg03539.html

One attempt by me to fix this was at:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg03421.html

Other than that, I think the doc should be fine.

My comments have been satisfactorily resolved, and I support moving it

FWIW, I don't think this should be added, remembering that we're 
recycling at DS, because:
  1) there doesn't seem to be clear need for it in this spec, and
  2) if some other spec needs it, it can just define it

(Because the packets whose ICMP checksum is incorrect are silently 
discarded, and there is no checksum for the data payload, I can't 
figure how ICMPv6 could notice any further data corruption in any 
case, so I see no direct justification in *this* spec.)

I think this is valuable clarifying work, and a good starting point 
for the work.  I think it's worth adopting.

A couple of comments on the draft for improvement:

- just a question on how full DHCPv6 client works with stateless 
DHCPv6 server:

   If M-Policy is 1, the host SHOULD invoke Host Configuration Behaviour
    for address and other configuration information, regardless of the
    change of the state variables.  The host SHOULD NOT invoke
    Information Configuration Behaviour regardless of O-Policy.  Note,
    however, that if the available DHCPv6 servers only provide the
    service for the Information Configuration Behaviour, the host will
    even not be able to configure other configuration parameters than
    addresses.  Thus, it is generally inadvisable to set M-Policy to 1,
    unless there is a particular reason to do so.

==> is it really true that if a full DHCPv6 client is initiated, and 
the server is 'stateless', the DHCPv6 client doesn't get back the 
stateless information?

That would seem to be a big problem for DHCPv6 deployment if servers 
are stateless, and I think someone has claimed that this shouldn't be 
a problem.

If the text you wrote is correct, that would mean that to get robust 
behaviour, the host would have to either rely that the capabilities of 
the DHCPv6 servers match those that are advertised in the route 
advertisements, or to always just "prepare for the worst" by firing 
off a parallel information-request as well.

And then it would seem to make sense for prudent DHCPv6 implementers 
to do everything they can to ensure they'll receive information-reply 
from stateful servers as well.. because that's better than nothing, 
and better than relying on how the bits in RAs have been configured!

- minor issue wrt inconsistent M/O information:

    If the host frequently receives inconsistent M and O flags of Router
    Advertisement (e.g., in a mobile environment for supporting fast
    movement detection), it may need complex consideration on an
    erroneous case.  However, this case is not closely related to this
    document; rather, it is a general issue on the inconsistent Router
    Advertisement parameters from multiple routers.  In fact, other
    configuration parameters such as the MTU size and the hop limit are
    also possible to be inconsistent in different Router Advertisements.

==> actually M/O is IMHO a bit worse than these two, because these are 
just internal variables, typically implemented in the kernel, and 
toggling back and forth between them is not a problem.

Presumably, initiating DHCPv6 requires running a non-trivial user-land 
process.  Hence, I'd dare to say that the transitions are a bigger 
problem with M/O flags, as has already been discussed a bit in 
security considerations.

Thus I'd like to see some further text, e.g. 1-2 sentences, describing 
why M/O transitions are a bigger problem than other inconsistent 
information.

OK.  Are there link layer specifications which do this?  And if so, 
are there implementations that do that?

I have no doubt that there may be link-layers which might detect or be 
able to detect corruption. But the typical approach then, AFAICS, is 
either to silently discard packet, or to try to retransmit at 
link-layer if there was a link-layer problem.

Persistent reception of packets with data corruption could be an indication
of congestion, in which case link-layer retransmit might not be the best thing.
Also, silent discard would miss out on an opportunity to provide congestion
feedback to the source whereas the ICMPv6s with the new parameter
problem code could be used to provide the necessary feedback.

I may be rather naive here, but if you detect that the packet is corrupt 
then how do you know if the source address is valid?  How is the remote 
end supposed to tie it back to a packet it sent given that you've just 
said "this packet is corrupt, and you can't rely on any data in it"?

While I agree that something like TCP would love to know if loss was due 
to transmission error, or due to congestion, I don't see how TCP could 
reliably deal with a packet that says "A packet you, (or someone else) 
sent that may have been from this protocol (or some other protocol, we 
dunno), with ports that might be a  and b (but could equally be any 
other port), was corrupt.  Good luck!"

It wasn't specified, but the IPv6 layer should have reasonable assurance that
the corruption occurred beyond the end of the header before sending ICMPs.

It is hard to imagine the IESG allowing functionality this speculative
to arrive in a specification that is recycling at DS.  And for good
reason.  There is no chance that any functionality like this could get
implementation reports sufficient to qualify for DS within three IETFs
let alone within a couple of days or weeks.

This work doesn't belong in this specification.  It may not belong
anywhere because of the issues cited by Perry.

Various points...

Section 1:  The first sentence (The Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6) is a
new version of IP.)  is not really useful for an ongoing standards document,
and could be deleted without loss.

Section 2.1 would be better split into three sections and reordered - it
covers three things rather than just the general message format:

2.1 Message General Format

   Every ICMPv6 message is preceded by an IPv6 header and zero or more
   IPv6 extension headers. The ICMPv6 header is identified by a Next
   Header value of 58 in the immediately preceding header.  (NOTE: this
   is different than the value used to identify ICMP for IPv4.)

   The ICMPv6 messages have the following general format:

       0                   1                   2                   3
       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |     Type      |     Code      |          Checksum             |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                                                               |
      +                         Message Body                          +
      |                                                               |

   The type field indicates the type of the message. Its value
   determines the format of the remaining data.

   The code field depends on the message type. It is used to create an
   additional level of message granularity.

   The checksum field is used to detect data corruption in the ICMPv6
   message and parts of the IPv6 header.

   ICMPv6 messages are grouped into two classes: error messages and
   informational messages.  Error messages are identified as such by
   having a zero in the high-order bit of their message Type field
   values.  Thus, error messages have message Types from 0 to 127;
   informational messages have message Types from 128 to 255.

2.2 ICMP Messages Defined in the Document

   This document defines the message formats and functions for the following
ICMPv6
   messages:

        ICMPv6 error messages:

             1    Destination Unreachable      (see section 3.1)
             2    Packet Too Big               (see section 3.2)
             3    Time Exceeded                (see section 3.3)
             4    Parameter Problem            (see section 3.4)

        ICMPv6 informational messages:

             128  Echo Request                 (see section 4.1)
             129  Echo Reply                   (see section 4.2)

2.3 Format of ICMP Error Messages

   The subclass of ICMPv6 messages used for reporting errors, i.e.,
   those with a Type value between 0 and 127, inclusive, all have the
   following, more specific format:

       0                   1                   2                   3
       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |     Type      |     Code      |          Checksum             |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                  type-specific data (32 bits)                 |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                    As much of invoking packet                 |
      +                as will fit without the ICMPv6 packet          +
      |                exceeding the minimum IPv6 MTU [IPv6]          |

(Renumber remaining subsections of 2).

Section 2.4 [current numbering scheme]

Many implementations implement the ability to suppress responses to pings
and some error messages by policy choice.  Is this something that might be
documented given that it is considered to be a matter of security?

Section 2.4(d):

There is another related circumstance in which it may not be possible to
determine the protocol or port numbers: if the errored packet has an ESP, it
would be necessary to decrypt the packet to determine both.  This may not be
possible either because the packet is truncated or because the encryption
algorithm does not have the necessary state needed to decrypt this packet.
This situation may become much more relevant than the truncation of long
headers in future.

Section 2.4(e) - Editorial nit:
         (e.4) a packet sent as a link-layer multicast, (the exception
                                                             ----------
                                                             exceptions
               from e.3 applies to this case too), or
                        -------
                        apply
Similarly for (e.5)

Sections 3.1-3.4:

Given the caveat in Section 2.4(d)(and the extra, possibly more common case,
identified above), the comments on the individual messages about informing
the upper layer protocol should be qualified accordingly.  This affects the
last paragraphs of sections 3.1-3.4 - suggest changing to: 

   A node receiving the ICMPv6 [xxx error] message MUST
   notify the upper-layer process if the relevant process can be
   identified (see Section 2.4(d)).


Section 3.4 Parameter Problem message

It might be useful to add a note that (presumably) Code 0 is the fallback
case in case neither of the other two fit the bill.

The description of code 2 (IPv6 Option) could be improved - it is
(presumably) about options in hop-by-hop and destination extension headers
from the base standard.  Since, in principle, other headers of the same kind
could be defined, would this code be used for options in those headers?

Fred,

Looking at all the discussion/arguments, I think we have=20
consensus about not adding the proposed code point to the
spec.

I agree with all others that it is not required in this
spec and it is not a good idea to add this code point at
this (DS) stage.

Mukesh

Pekka,

Sorry to have that missed.  I somehow assumed that we needed no=20
modification after the consensus.  My bad !

I will try to rephrase the text while addressing all the other
LC comments.

There's a wealth of information about traffic analysis capabilities in
many books about WW-II-era codebreaking. 

As a more modern example:

By observing the timing and size of a sequence of packets in and out of
a system acting as a traditional SMTP mail relay, one can most likely
identify probable SMTP flows (3-way handshake of tinygrams, SMTP banner,
HELO, MAIL FROM, one or more RCPT TO, DATA+message, QUIT, tcp
termination tinygrams).

This gives you message size, recipient count, and length of each email
address in the envelope.

You can now correlate messages in with messages out (message out will be
larger by the typical size of a received: header), and may let you
identify messages and possible replies in 1:1 email conversations by
matching the sender and recipient address lengths...

With sufficient data you could also probably also pick out behavioral
quirks such as which correspondents habitually fail to trim quoted
material in replied-to messages.

You may also want to reference the new traffic-flow-security extensions
(extended padding, dummy traffic discards) in the current drafts of
IPsec ESP.

A node that performs Information Configuration Behaviour (is newly defined
in this document instead of stateless DHCPv6) MUST have obtained
its IPv6 addresses through some other mechanism. So if the node
is supposed to perform Information Configuration Behaviour without
IPv6 addresses, it is a problematic situation (further, IMO, it is a rare
environment). That is why we said *inadvisable* in this document. 
IMO, it does not occur severe problems since RFC3736 is just a subset 
of the full DHCPv6 service, thus a full DHCPv6 client (as you said) can do 
both or either Host Configuration Behaviour for configuring the IPv6 address 
and Information Configuration Behaviour for the other information.

If required, your concern will appear in the revision.

I think this missed the point; maybe I didn't articulate it well 
enough.

I'm not concerned about how nodes configure addresses, but rather how 
nodes get the other information.

The text above could be read so that a full DHCPv6 client would not 
get addresses (obviously!) and neither other information (that would 
be surprising, but I could imagine why this could happen) from a 
stateless DHCPV6 server.  The question is, does it really not get 
'other information', and if so, this calls for several other actions. 
If not, the draft needs to be revised for clarity.

Hi All,

We're having a discussion on URIs and IRIs in the IESG that has led 
me to realize that the URL literal IPv6 address format described in 
RFC 2732 does not contain any provision for including a zone ID.  I 
don't think that we could simply add a "%zone-id" to the end of the 
IP address, because % is a special character in URLs.

Thoughts?  Is this something we should update?

Margaret

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
	Author(s)	: T. Narten, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-01.txt
	Pages		: 86
	Date		: 2004-10-29
	
This document specifies the Neighbor Discovery protocol for IP
   Version 6.  IPv6 nodes on the same link use Neighbor Discovery to
   discover each other's presence, to determine each other's link-layer
   addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information
   about the paths to active neighbors.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-01.txt

To remove yourself from the I-D Announcement list, send a message to 
i-d-announce-request@ietf.org with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message.  
You can also visit https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-announce 
to change your subscription settings.


Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-01.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-01.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Hi Margaret,

Why not ? We are using the [] to enclose the IPv6 address, so then the %
will be also inside the square brackets, right ?

Jordi

I don't know...  I am far from a URL expert, but in discussions about 
how to encode IPv6 literals in URIs and IRIs, the square brackets 
don't seem to be enough.  The percent sign also has to be encoded as 
a %25 and/or changed to another character.

Does this apply to URLs, too?

Margaret

Yes, I believe this is a problem.

Possibly the best solution is specifying a BCP that limited scope 
addresses should not be used in URLs or in applications like that.

People trying to use link-local addresses for "normal" applications is 
just causing grief.  Perhaps that needs to be stopped.

We discussed this with respect to the scoped address document a
while back (message attached below).

Here's my view (clipped from some off-line dialogue) about why we
didn't go into panic mode to get this fixed in the URI syntax
(2396bis, already approved as full Standard, which obsoletes 2732)
at that time:

> Because it has no *reasonable* use? Is it reasonable to use HTTP this way?

In any case this is a dead duck, unless the IESG wants to recall 2396bis
from the RFC Editor, which seems absolutely unjustified to me.

Your suggested changes seem fine to me. I certainly don't
think we should recall the draft from the RFC Editor. If the
changes can be made as editorial updates, that's fine. If not,
they can simply be kept for the next version.

I'm really sorry I didn't spot this during the Last Call.

Brian originally made this statement in an exchange with some URI/IRI 
authors/experts and the IESG regarding my "discuss" position on 
draft-duerst-iri-10.txt.  My response was:

"I don't know.  A year ago, I would have said "no", but with 
documents on the IESG agenda like draft-black-snmp-uri-08.txt, I am 
taking a new view of URIs.  This document defines a URI syntax that 
can be used for access to SNMP objects, and one of the use cases 
includes having a local SNMP manager that is accessed through a URI 
-- the URI then being translated into an SNMP request that is sent to 
the agent via SNMP.

So, URIs can, effectively, be used as a programmatic interface to 
other applications running on the local system.  In that sort of 
case, I think we very well might need to include scoped addresses in 
URIs.  And, IMO, it would be better to have a standard way to do this 
than to live in a world where folks just insert an unencoded % and 
some parsers pass it through cleanly, others escape it for you and 
still others return an error -- which is how the current behaviour of 
URI parsers has been described in this thread."

BTW, I don't think it was a mistake to omit this when RFC 2732 was 
published, as the IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture (which defines 
zone IDs) was only recently approved by the IESG for publication at 
PS.

>In any case this is a dead duck, unless the IESG wants to recall 2396bis

The discussion with the URI/IRI authors doesn't seem to be moving in 
the direction of recalling 2396bis.  It seems preferable to write a 
new document that defines an IPv6 address encoding that includes a 
zone ID.  This could be done under the IPvFuture mechanism described 
in 2396bis.

I'm certainly willing to let the URI/IRI folks figure out the best 
way to fix this problem, but I don't understand how the fact that 
2396bis is in the RFC editor queue makes this problem a "dead duck". 
In fact, I'm not sure I understand what "this" is referring to in the 
sentence above.

I don't know exactly where this will end up, but given the fact that 
2396bis will obsolete RFC 2732 when it is published (which I didn't 
realize when I started this thread), I agree that an update to RFC 
2732 doesn't make sense.

Just to explain my "dead duck" comment, indeed I meant it only
in the context of the documents currently in the publication
queue. If a real requirement appears then it is pretty obvious
what to do - extend the URI syntax appropriately and modify
every URI parser.

Ok. I was referring to "addresses" only, not names.

In that case, I still think that [2001::DEAD%1] still should work, but not
www.mydomain.com%1.

Not sure either if this kind of scope option in an http request has some
use, but probably I'm missing a lot of options for that !

Regards,
Jordi
