A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts director=
ies.
 This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IET=
F.

	Title           : UDP Checksums for Tunneled Packets
	Author(s)       : Marshall Eubanks
                          P.F. Chimento
                          Magnus Westerlund
	Filename        : draft-ietf-6man-udpchecksums-04.txt

	Date            : 2012-09-05

Abstract:
   This document provides an update of the Internet Protocol version 6
   (IPv6) specification (RFC2460) to improve the performance of IPv6 in
   the use case when a tunnel protocol uses UDP with IPv6 to tunnel
   packets.  The performance improvement is obtained by relaxing the
   IPv6 UDP checksum requirement for suitable tunneling protocol where
   header information is protected on the "inner" packet being carried.
   This relaxation removes the overhead associated with the computation
   of UDP checksums on IPv6 packets used to carry tunnel protocols and
   thereby improves the efficiency of the traversal of firewalls and
   other network middleboxes by such protocols.  We describe how the
   IPv6 UDP checksum requirement can be relaxed in the situation where
   the encapsulated packet itself contains a checksum, the limitations
   and risks of this approach, and defines restrictions on the use of
   this relaxation to mitigate these risks.

WG,

This is a very minor update to resolve some nits the WG chairs noticed
while preparing the publication request.

Cheers

Abstract:
   Appendix A of the IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) document in
   RFC 4862 discusses Loopback Suppression and DAD.  However, RFC 4862
   does not settle on one specific automated means to detect loopback of
   Neighbor Discovery (ND of RFC 4861) messages used by DAD.  Several
   service provider communities have expressed a need for automated
   detection of looped backed ND messages used by DAD.  This document
   includes mitigation techniques and then outlines the Enhanced DAD
   algorithm to automate detection of looped back IPv6 ND messages used
   by DAD.  For network loopback tests, the Enhanced DAD algorithm
   allows IPv6 to self-heal after a loopback is placed and removed.
   Further, for certain access networks the document automates resolving
   a specific duplicate address conflict.

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'The Line Identification Destination Option'
  (draft-ietf-6man-lineid-08.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ralph Droms.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-lineid/




Technical Summary

In Ethernet based aggregation networks, several subscriber premises may be logically connected to the same interface of an edge router. This document defines a method for the edge router to identify the subscriber premises using the contents of the received Router Solicitation messages. The applicability is limited to broadband network deployment scenarios where multiple user ports are mapped to the same virtual interface on the Edge Router.

Working Group Summary

It was difficult reaching a consensus on this document, hence the two w.g. last calls. This approach was requested by the Broad Band Forum. The issues were resolved by some changes in the document and an explicit statement on its applicability in a limited deployment environment.

Document Quality

This document has been reviewed by many people and the chairs believe there is agreement in the w.g. to move it forward. Significant reviews have been done by Wojciech Dec and Ran Atkinson.

Personnel

Bob Hinden is the Document Shepherd.
Brian Haberman is the Responsible Area Director.

I think this is an important change, and I think our work on the problem 
side of the things underscores that.

As a contributor I am in favor of advancing this document.

That said I'd also like to hear from implementers that this is a 
reasonable fix with few if any negative consequences (something I 
believe to be the case).

I have read this draft, and think this work is important.

Some dumb questions for your consideration:

Since the (tentative) IID and DAD operation is address and interface 
specific; as well as the nonce, should the node also remember on which 
interface the NS(DAD) was sent, and also for which (tentative) address?

Should the node generate a separate nonce per instance of the DAD 
algorithm, or per interface initialisation?
[DAD may be performed multiple times for initialising a single 
interface, and these may run in parallel if there are multiple prefixes 
per interface, or if temporary addresses are in use as well as SLAAC and 
DHCPv6...]

Section 4.3 says "an interface on the node"

What should a receiver do if a node receives its own NS(DAD) on another 
interface other than the source interface which is performing DAD?
[use case: two L3 interfaces on one node connected to one common L2 
link, where one interface re-initialises or wants to use a new temporary 
address and thus performs DAD. That isn't a loopback condition or error 
condition at all if that NS(DAD) packet is received on the other interface.]

I think the text in section 4.3 could do with some clarification on 
sending and receiving interfaces.

There are high availability situations that intentionally cause 
collisions of IID and a virtual IPv6 address [e.g. HSRP IPv6].
Do these need to be explicitly excluded from this draft? Or is that 
someone else's problem?
[There is a table on the relevant manufacturers website labelled Table 
19 "HSRP and IPv6 ND Addresses " which shows when the virtual MAC/ 
Virtual IPv6 is used for messages. AFAIK DAD is never performed on the 
virtual address, as prevention of duplicate addresses is handled in the 
HSRP protocol itself]

There are high availability cases where multiple NICs are connected in 
parallel [Teaming].
Does this require any special treatment? Or simply a clarification that 
DAD is performed on the resulting virtual NIC interface or LACP bundle 
rather, than individual physical links? Or is this plain obvious?

When is it safe for a node to garbage collect the stored nonce?
When should a node garbage collect the stored nonce [e.g. to  cover 
equipment moves and interface re-patching]?
Once DAD completes?

RayH

Yes.  Note RFC 4862 is interface-specific for DAD of each IPv6 address used=
 by the interface and RFC 4861 is also interface-specific for the ND protoc=
ol.=20

>Should the node generate a separate nonce per instance of the DAD=20

Anytime DAD is performed by a network interface for an IPv6 address, a sepa=
rate nonce is generated.  The reason is because, by definition, a nonce is =
used only once and the interface has to perform DAD for each IPv6 address u=
sed by the interface.  Our document is using the nonce defined by RFC 3971.=
  See section 2 of RFC 3971 and the definition of the "Nonce" term on page =
5.  Other sections in RFC 3971 has additional details on the Nonce Option.

Once DAD completes.

For your use case, the issue won't happen during DAD for the global IPv6 ad=
dress assigned to a L3 interface.  A node won't be able to configure two se=
parate interfaces with the same IPv6 global address. The two L3 interfaces =
have different IPv6 global address(es) and for global address(es) each L3 i=
nterface is a separate link-local domain.  It's only for the link-local add=
ress that the two L3 interfaces may share one link-local domain.  Say, the =
two L3 interfaces are int1 and int2.  Then if int1 issues a NS(DAD) for the=
 link-local address, and an identical NS(DAD) is received on int2 the imple=
mentation has to deal with DAD duplicates for all interfaces in the same li=
nk-local domain.

I think it's obvious.  The manufacturer has also included documentation hig=
hlighting which IPv6 set of addresses are skipped for DAD.  Note, there are=
 other networks where DAD is disabled such as a point-to-point links.

Humbly suggest you read Section 4.3 one more time to double check that 
the text reflects what you mean.

I never claimed the two interfaces would have the same address.

Say Interface 2 is a stable interface. Interface 1 generates a new 
temporary address and performs DAD on it. The node remembers Interface 
1's address is tentative, and the nonce that was sent.

So one interpretation of the current text for me is that if Interface 2 
receives a NS(DAD) for interface1's address (which is in tentative or 
optimistic state) then the node should generate a system management message.

All I'm saying is that IMVHO it isn't entirely clear from the current 
text whether the filtering action is performed at node level, or locally 
per interface, or per (tentative) address.

IMHO the filtering action should only be applied if all 3 of the 
following constraints match:
1) the received nonce in the NS(DAD) message matches a saved nonce, and
2) the interface that received the NS(DAD) message is the same interface 
which was used to send this nonce (and associated NS(DAD) message), and
3) the (tentative) address in the received NS(DAD) message matches the 
(tentative) address associated with this receiving interface.

Then you have a loopback. And I think the text could be improved to make 
that clear.

Equally if a nonce is truly a nonce, then can't the nonce also be 
garbage collected immediately from local storage as soon as the first 
NS(DAD) loopback packet is received i.e. when the received NS(DAD) 
message is dropped? Is there really a need to always wait for DAD to 
complete in that case?

regards,
RayH

>
> Since the (tentative) IID and DAD operation is address and interface 
> specific; as well as the nonce, should the node also remember on which 
> interface the NS(DAD) was sent, and also for which (tentative) address?
>
> Should the node generate a separate nonce per instance of the DAD 
> algorithm, or per interface initialisation?
> [DAD may be performed multiple times for initialising a single 
> interface, and these may run in parallel if there are multiple 
> prefixes per interface, or if temporary addresses are in use as well 
> as SLAAC and DHCPv6...]
>
> Section 4.3 says "an interface on the node"
>
> What should a receiver do if a node receives its own NS(DAD) on 
> another interface other than the source interface which is performing 
> DAD?
> [use case: two L3 interfaces on one node connected to one common L2 
> link, where one interface re-initialises or wants to use a new 
> temporary address and thus performs DAD. That isn't a loopback 
> condition or error condition at all if that NS(DAD) packet is received 
> on the other interface.]
>
> I think the text in section 4.3 could do with some clarification on 
> sending and receiving interfaces.
>
> There are high availability situations that intentionally cause 
> collisions of IID and a virtual IPv6 address [e.g. HSRP IPv6].
> Do these need to be explicitly excluded from this draft? Or is that 
> someone else's problem?

I support this document - it's important work and the document is really cl=
ose to ship to the IESG.=20

I thought this document should be on Standards Track but the document does =
not say anything about the Intended Status of the document.  Please fix tha=
t so that document includes Intended Status.  Additionally, if the document=
 is on Standards Track, do we have at least one implementation of the proto=
col changes covered in the document?  Or the protocol changes are deemed mi=
nor and one does not need at least one implementation?=20

Comments included below.

COMMENTS:

1.  In the first paragraph of the Protocol Update section, please replace "=
route" by "router".  At least all of RFC 4861 works with a default router n=
ot a default route.

2. I think the following text in the Protocol Update section can be removed=
 because the text is redundant with RFC 4861.

[The UNREACHABLE state is conceptual and not a required part of this
specification.  A node merely needs to satisfy the externally
observable behavior of this specification.]


Editorial comments:

1. In the first paragraph of the Introduction section, please add a space b=
etween the two words shown below.

[reachable.The].

2. In the Protocol Update section, change

"Cache Entry as any time"

to=20

"Cache Entry at any time"

In the same section change

"no IPv6 packets"

To

"no IPv6 packet"


3. In the Example Algorithm section, do we need to change

"An Implementation"

to

"An implementation"?


4. In the Security Considerations section, "belived" is misspelled.

Regards,

Hemant

The authors believe that this version meets Ole's proposed consensus at
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg16258.html

(Note: the final point in the proposed consensus "interface names may
themselves have to escaped (non-roman or [] characters)" isn't mentioned
in the text, but follows from the ABNF rules.)

        URL:        http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6724.txt

This document describes two algorithms, one for source address
selection and one for destination address selection.  The algorithms
specify default behavior for all Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
implementations.  They do not override choices made by applications
or upper-layer protocols, nor do they preclude the development of
more advanced mechanisms for address selection.  The two algorithms
share a common context, including an optional mechanism for allowing
administrators to provide policy that can override the default
behavior.  In dual-stack implementations, the destination address
selection algorithm can consider both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses --
depending on the available source addresses, the algorithm might
prefer IPv6 addresses over IPv4 addresses, or vice versa.

Default address selection as defined in this specification applies to
all IPv6 nodes, including both hosts and routers.  This document
obsoletes RFC 3484.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]

This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

The text does include:

   If an operating system uses any other characters in zone or interface
   identifiers that are not in the "unreserved" character set, they MUST
   be escaped with a "%" sign according to RFC 3986.

This was in the earlier versions of the draft and I think it covers this =
case.

I thought it's prudent to also include the 6man mailer in my reply to Tina.

Do you really think a 6 bytes number has a chance of collision?  It's very =

Please see the above question answered in the 6man mailer.  Each interface =
uses a nonce per IPv6 address used by the interface.

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg16298.html


>Moreover, the enhanced DAD algorithm is to enabled on both sides of the in=

Same as RFC 4862.  Whatever side of an interface RFC 4862 works on, the Enh=
anced DAD also does the same.  Our document hasn't said anything to the con=
trary.

>If the nonce option does not match, and the target address is same ( genui=

See section 5 of the document where automated actions are recommended for a=

Thanks and regards,

My take is that draft-ietf-6man-nd-extension-headers is ready for WGLC, too.

Thoughts?

All,
      I have completed my AD review of the two UDP checksum zero drafts 
and think they are in good shape.  I will be starting the IETF Last Call 
shortly.

Abstract


   This document provides an update of the Internet Protocol version 6
   (IPv6) specification (RFC2460) to improve the performance of IPv6 in
   the use case when a tunnel protocol uses UDP with IPv6 to tunnel
   packets.  The performance improvement is obtained by relaxing the
   IPv6 UDP checksum requirement for suitable tunneling protocol where
   header information is protected on the "inner" packet being carried.
   This relaxation removes the overhead associated with the computation
   of UDP checksums on IPv6 packets used to carry tunnel protocols and
   thereby improves the efficiency of the traversal of firewalls and
   other network middleboxes by such protocols.  We describe how the
   IPv6 UDP checksum requirement can be relaxed in the situation where
   the encapsulated packet itself contains a checksum, the limitations
   and risks of this approach, and defines restrictions on the use of
   this relaxation to mitigate these risks.

Abstract


   This document examines the role of the UDP transport checksum when
   used with IPv6, as defined in RFC2460. It presents a summary of the
   trade-offs for evaluating the safety of updating RFC 2460 to permit
   an IPv6 UDP endpoint to use a zero value in the checksum field as an
   indication that no checksum is present.  This method is compared with
   some other possibilities.  The document also describes the issues and
   design principles that need to be considered when UDP is used with
   IPv6 to support tunnel encapsulations.  It concludes that UDP with a
   zero checksum in IPv6 can safely be used for this purpose, provided
   that this usage is governed by a set of constraints.

Abstract:
   The document describes a mechanism allowing the use of Duplicate
   Address Detection (DAD) by IPv6 nodes in a point-to-multipoint
   architecture with "split-horizon" forwarding scheme.  Based on the
   DAD signalling, the first hop router stores in a Binding Table all
   known IPv6 addresses used on a point-to-multipoint domain (e.g.
   VLAN).  When a node performs DAD for an address already used by
   another node, the first hop router replies instead of this last one.

Greetings,

On the heals of work on draft-ietf-6man-impatient-nud-02 and rfc 6583 the authors have decided to take a lot at their proposal for gratuitous neighbor advertisement. We believe that this approach has the potential to ameliorate some problems experienced today in large broadcast domains where control plane processors may spend a significant chunk of their cpu cycles mananging NDP even under normal circumstances. There is some real world experience of meltdowns not caused by deliberate DOS that we ascribe to the current handling of NDP so we'd like to see some additional effort in this area.

	Title           : Neighbor Discovery Enhancement for DOS mititgation
	Author(s)       : Warren Kumari
	Filename        : draft-gashinsky-6man-v6nd-enhance-01.txt
	Pages           : 10
	Date            : 2012-09-20

Abstract:
    In IPv4, subnets are generally small, made just large enough to cover
    the actual number of machines on the subnet.  In contrast, the
    default IPv6 subnet size is a /64, a number so large it covers
    trillions of addresses, the overwhelming number of which will be
    unassigned.  Consequently, simplistic implementations of Neighbor
    Discovery can be vulnerable to denial of service attacks whereby they
    attempt to perform address resolution for large numbers of unassigned
    addresses.  Such denial of attacks can be launched intentionally (by
    an attacker), or result from legitimate operational tools that scan
    networks for inventory and other purposes.  As a result of these
    vulnerabilities, new devices may not be able to "join" a network, it
    may be impossible to establish new IPv6 flows, and existing IPv6
    transported flows may be interrupted.

    This document describes a modification to the [RFC4861] neighbor
    discovery protocol aimed at improving the resilience of the neighbor
    discovery process.  We call this process Gratuitous neighbor
    discovery and it derives inspiration in part from analogous IPv4
    gratuitous ARP implementation.

Hi,
=A0
I am one of the many Network Engineers/architects that are today on the ver=
ge of assigning IPv6 addressing in their core networks.

There=A0are two points that I would like to open a debate on and really loo=
king for some substantial reasoning and logic on.
=A0
And the points are:=20
=A0
Q1: "What is the IETF best-practice / recommendation for assigning IPv6 add=
ressing to strictly point-to-point links where we know there will never be =
more than one device on each end of the link for the foreseeable future"
=A0
Q2: "What is the IETF best practice / recommendation for assigning IPv6 add=
ressing for Loopback interfaces on routers"

I have gone through some RFCs (RFC 4291, RFC 5375, RFC 3627, RFC 3177 / 617=
7 and RFC 6164)
=A0
As a network engineer with IPv4 and some IPv6 background, I am inclined to =
use /127 addressing on strictly point to point links and /128 for Loopbacks=
 - but after discussion with peers in the industry have learnt that althoug=
h the recommendations are to use /127 for p2p and /128 for Loopbacks, its b=
etter to reserve the whole /64 for each p2p inter-router link.
=A0
There are conflicting recommendations and are not giving me the right direc=
tion e.g.:
RFC 4291 states: "For all unicast addresses, except those that start with t=
he binary value 000, Interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long and to b=
e constructed in Modified EUI-64 format."
=A0
RFC 5375 states: "126-bit subnet prefixes are typically used for point-to-p=
oint links similar to a the IPv4 address-conservative /30 allocation for po=
int-to-point links.=A0 The usage of this subnet address length does not lea=
d to any considerations beyond those discussed earlier in this section, par=
ticularly those related to the 'u' and 'g' bits (see B.2.4.)
For /128 assignment..... it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits int=
o consideration and to make sure that there is no overlap with any of the f=
ollowing well-known addresses:
=A0=A0 o=A0 Subnet Router Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Addresses used by Embedded-RP
=A0=A0 o=A0 ISATAP Addresses"
=A0
My main concern is the following:
=A0
Some standards "assume" that the lower-order 64-bits of an IPv6 address are=
 reserved for host addresses (following from an EUI-64 format) and you see =
some specific addresses in those lower order 64 bits reserved for specific =
purposes (router anycast, embedded IPv6 RP, ISATAP etc). This gives indicat=
ion that in future if vendors continue on with this assumption of 64 bits h=
ost space and dont take into account that there may be deployments out ther=
e where operators / carriers have chosen to use /126 or /127s on their p2p =
inter-router links from the same /64 subnets=A0- this could lead to major i=
ssues for both the operators and their end-customers.
=A0
I suppose bodies like IETF all need to ensure that there are definitive gui=
delines around addressing architectures so that future implementations of p=
rocotol stacks and features donot overlap with bits in the IPv6 address spa=
ce that could potentially be used on p2p inter-router links (i.e. there cou=
ld be address assignments done based on subnet prefixes longer than /64 on =
p2p links) and obviously if some implementation in future uses the bits fro=
m that space, it would become a big challenge for operators and their custo=
mers to re-address their p2p inter-router links.
=A0
In summary we need clear guidelines on the following:

- For IPv6 implementation on strictly p2p (inter-router links) and for devi=
ce Loopbacks, we can use /127 and /128 respectively but are required to res=
erve the whole=A0corresponding /64 for each of the p2p links (and loopbacks=
) i.e. a seperate /64 needs to be reserved for each p2p and loopback.

OR

- For IPv6 implementation on strictly p2p (inter-router links) and for devi=
ce Loopbacks, we can use /127 and /128 respectively and are NOT reuqired to=
 reserve the whole corresponding /64 for each of the p2p links (and loopbac=
ks) i.e. for example multiple p2p links can be assigned /127 from the same =

<table cellspacing=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"0" border=3D"0" ><tr><td valign=3D"=
top" style=3D"font: inherit;"><DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I am one of the many Network Engineers/architects that are today on th=
e verge of assigning IPv6 addressing in their core networks.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>There&nbsp;are two points that I would like to open a debate on and re=
ally looking for some substantial reasoning and logic on.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>And the points are: </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Q1: "What is the IETF best-practice / recommendation for assigning IPv=
6 addressing to strictly point-to-point links where we know there will neve=
r be more than one device on each end of the link for the foreseeable futur=
e"</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Q2: "What is the IETF best practice / recommendation for assigning IPv=
6 addressing for Loopback interfaces on routers"<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have gone through some RFCs (RFC 4291, RFC 5375, RFC 3627, RFC 3177 =
/ 6177 and RFC 6164)</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>As a network engineer with IPv4 and some IPv6 background, I am incline=
d to use /127 addressing on strictly point to point links and /128 for Loop=
backs - but after discussion with peers in the industry have learnt that al=
though the recommendations are to use /127 for p2p and /128 for Loopbacks, =
its better to reserve the whole /64 for each p2p inter-router link.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>There are conflicting recommendations and are not giving me the right =
direction e.g.:</DIV>
<DIV>RFC 4291 states: "For all unicast addresses, except those that start w=
ith the binary value 000, Interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long and=
 to be constructed in Modified EUI-64 format."<BR>&nbsp;<BR>RFC 5375 states=
: "126-bit subnet prefixes are typically used for point-to-point links simi=
lar to a the IPv4 address-conservative /30 allocation for point-to-point li=
nks.&nbsp; The usage of this subnet address length does not lead to any con=
siderations beyond those discussed earlier in this section, particularly th=
ose related to the 'u' and 'g' bits (see B.2.4.)<BR>For /128 assignment....=
. it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to =
make sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known add=
resses:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; o&nbsp; Subnet Router Anycast Address</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; o&nbsp; Reserved Subnet Anycast Address</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; o&nbsp; Addresses used by Embedded-RP</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; o&nbsp; ISATAP Addresses"<BR>&nbsp;<BR>My main concern is=
 the following:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Some standards "assume" that the lower-order 64-bits of an IPv6 addres=
s are reserved for host addresses (following from an EUI-64 format) and you=
 see some specific addresses in those lower order 64 bits reserved for spec=
ific purposes (router anycast, embedded IPv6 RP, ISATAP etc). This gives in=
dication that in future if vendors continue on with this assumption of 64 b=
its host space and dont take into account that there may be deployments out=
 there where operators / carriers have chosen to use /126 or /127s on their=
 p2p inter-router links from the same /64 subnets&nbsp;- this could lead to=
 major issues for both the operators and their end-customers.<BR>&nbsp;<BR>=
I suppose bodies like IETF all need to ensure that there are definitive gui=
delines around addressing architectures so that future implementations of p=
rocotol stacks and features donot overlap with bits in the IPv6 address spa=
ce that could potentially be used on p2p inter-router links (i.e.
 there could be address assignments done based on subnet prefixes longer th=
an /64 on p2p links) and obviously if some implementation in future uses th=
e bits from that space, it would become a big challenge for operators and t=
heir customers to re-address their p2p inter-router links.<BR>&nbsp;<BR>In =
summary we need clear guidelines on the following:<BR><BR>- For IPv6 implem=
entation on strictly p2p (inter-router links) and for device Loopbacks, we =
can use /127 and /128 respectively but are required to reserve the whole&nb=
sp;corresponding /64 for each of the p2p links (and loopbacks) i.e. a seper=
ate /64 needs to be reserved for each p2p and loopback.<BR><BR>OR<BR><BR>- =
For IPv6 implementation on strictly p2p (inter-router links) and for device=
 Loopbacks, we can use /127 and /128 respectively and are NOT reuqired to r=
eserve the whole corresponding /64 for each of the p2p links (and loopbacks=
) i.e. for example multiple p2p links can be assigned /127 from the
 same /64 - this has implication that any future implementation of protocol=
/stack needs to be careful not to "assume" and&nbsp;reserve some or all of =
the&nbsp;lower-64 bits in IPv6 address for its implementation.</DIV>

	Title           : Distributing Address Selection Policy using DHCPv6
	Author(s)       : Arifumi Matsumoto
                          Tomohiro Fujisaki

	Date            : 2012-09-21

Abstract:
   RFC 6724 defines default address selection mechanisms for IPv6 that
   allow nodes to select appropriate address when faced with multiple
   source and/or destination addresses to choose between.  The RFC 6724
   allowed for the future definition of methods to administratively
   configure the address selection policy information.  This document
   defines a new DHCPv6 option for such configuration, allowing a site
   administrator to distribute address selection policy overriding the
   default address selection parameters and policy table, and thus
   control the address selection behavior of nodes in their site.

This quick update adds Stuart Cheshire as a co-author, since he proposed the
final compromise.

Ole, over to you.

Thanks for the feedback.
I just want to confirm something.

You wrote:=20
"If you choose to do this, it is further recommended that you reserve the en=
tire /64 so that - if needed in the future - you can expand this configurati=
on _without_ a major renumbering event."

This is the essence of what I want the IETF to put in one of its address rec=
ommendation RFCs because I have yet to see an RFC that says when you assign a=
 /127 to a p2p link, you should/must reserve the whole parent /64 for that p=
2p link also.

Without this stated clearly there is likely to be some instances where reade=
rs interpret it the wrong way and end up assigning multiple p2p links with /=
127 subnets from a single given /64 and end up having to re-address their ne=
twork in future when/if future standards use lower order 64 bits for special=
 purposes.

Also you didn't talk about loopbacks at all.

IMO any single loopback although a /128 should also have the whole parent /6=
4 assigned to it because the issues with not doing that are pretty much the s=
ame as for p2p links

What do you think?

Regards,
Usman

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There are conflicting recommendations and are not giving me the right d=

Right, each PtP link should have it's own /64 assigned.
It should also be so-configured, but if you choose to alter that something
else (e.g. - a /127) may be configured.
But with that specific /64 still reserved per PtP link!

Correct, in fact - I intentionally excluded them :).
I would say a single /64 per site (or whatever demarcation / term you
choose to use) should be reserved for the purpose of assigning /128s to
loopbacks.  Not a /64 per loopback, a /64 per ~site to cover all of the
loopbacks within that ~site.
*I presume 18BB loopback addresses per ~site is sufficient? ;)*

Indeed; however - if your addressing plan needs to be redone
to accommodate the renumbering there may be no small amount of pain
involved.

While I do not set out to tell anyone how they must run their network, I do
embrace the idea of minimizing future problems / rework ... :)

Again, agreed - but if I can, with relative ease, mitigate a potential
source of that problem I'll take it :).

Fair point - other values for PrefLen have been proposed/mentioned over the
years  (/112 and /126 come to mind).
Just that, IMHO, if you aren't using a /64 a /127 is the next best thing
... I'm always interested in hearing additional justifications / deployment
drivers :).

Thanks Wes for the feedback.
Some points I'd like to further comment on:

i. You mentioned that a re-address event is no different from re-masking the=
 links-=20
this is true to an extent but I think changing subnet mask would still be re=
latively easier to manage than having to re-address all links and loopback i=
nterfaces. If we can think of an alternative to re-masking, I am open to con=
sider and talk about it.
I think the impact is considerable and obviously different people may have d=
ifferent views on the extent of impact.
Note: having to renumber loopbacks that have been assigned /128 from the sam=
e /64 e.g. is an even bigger risk because protocol adjacencies and a lot of c=
ontrol plane peering relationships are bound to it
Also as a service provider, the impact may not just be limited to the SP bac=
kbone but also the SP's end-customers which which means there will be politi=
cal and legal issues arising out of SP wanting its customers to renumber e.g=
 PE-CE links where the SP may have used /127s from the same /64 block
So IMO the impact is significant!

ii. You also mentioned that IP address on p2p links don't matter and that th=
e risk is being oversold.
I think not all implementations have p2p links with local significance only a=
nd also a router may not need to advertise the p2p link to its routing peers=
 but it would still pose a problem if the router is in the forwarding path o=
f packets destined to/from addresses that conflict with specially assigned a=
ddresses (current/future) using lower-64 bits of the v6 address space. Again=
 the loopbacks need to be considered here too for the same reason mentioned a=
bove.

iii. You raised a point around RFC 6164 that future implementations would ne=
ed to take it into consideration and in good conscience existing implementat=
ions that have used /127 or similar on p2p links from the same /64 block can=
not be ignored.
I agree to this point but I think if a new RRC or even the existing RFC 6164=
 mentions this explicitly that a carrier may or may not have /127 from the s=
ame /64 block, it would cover all bases and ensure that we don't end up in a=
ny controversy in future.

Wes, I think that statement is even a bit weak, since 6164 actually says:

"assuming that a number of point-to-point links will be numbered out of a single /64 prefix:"

so it is very clear: it is allowed by the standard to share a /64 among
however many pt2pt links the operator cares to. This is *not* a wrong
interpretation.

As you say, any future work will need to take account of this.

As an implementer you have to assume the existence of prefixes longer 
than /64 if not, loopback addresses which are /128s would not exist.

in point of fact regarding /127s we have.

which is about as authoritative as anything gets.

Indeed, and I see a sheer wastage in blocking the entire /64 whose one /127=
 is used on p2p links.=20

There are many deployments that already assign bunch of /64 (or lower) pref=
ixes per hierarchy and encode bunch of useful info in 72-96 and then assign=
 thousands of /127s out of each /96 (or encode ipv4 loopbak address in it t=
o get /128 loopback)  to thousand of network infrastructure devices.=20

This has pros and cons, but the point is that this should be a deployment c=
hoice, not a standard mandate.

Cheers,
Rajiv

Forgot to include IPv6 group email in my last email (below)
Further to that, RFC 6164 states in the same statement that:

"When assigning and using any /127 prefixes, the following considerations=20=

apply. Some addresses have special meanings, in particular addresses=20
corresponding to reserved anycast addresses. When assigning prefixes=20
(and addresses) to links, care should be taken to ensure that addresses=20
reserved for such purposes aren't inadvertently assigned and used as=20
unicast addresses. Otherwise, nodes may receive packets that they are=20
not intended to receive. Specifically, assuming that a number of point-to-po=
int=20
links will be numbered out of a single /64 prefix:=20
 (a) Addresses with all zeros in the rightmost 64 bits SHOULD NOT be assigne=
d=20
as unicast addresses, to avoid colliding with the Subnet-Router anycast addr=
ess=20
(b) Addresses in which the rightmost 64 bits are assigned the highest 128 va=
lues=20
(i.e., ffff:ffff:ffff:ff7f to ffff:ffff:ffff: ffff) SHOULD NOT be used as un=
icast addresses,=20
to avoid colliding with reserved subnet anycast addresses"

One question that comes up here is that why did RFC 6164 exclude
additional recommendations that were stated in RFC 5375 which stated:

"it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to ma=
ke sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known addres=
ses:
   o  Subnet Router Anycast Address
   o  Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
   o  Addresses used by Embedded-RP
   o  ISATAP Addresses"

So should one only care about excluding reserved addresses as per RFC 6164 o=
r should we also care about reserving addresses as per RFC 5375?

5375 seems to have more special addresses covered and is also a hint that in=
 the hindsight there could be more special addresses in future using bits in=
 lower 64-bit portion of v6 address(?)

I wonder if it's possible to leave portions of lower 64 bits in v6 address f=
or special purposes (both EUI-64 and non EUI-64) so that we get best of both=
 worlds i.e. leave room open for future development and assignment of specia=
l addresses using portions in lower 64 bits reserved for this purpose and at=
 the same time allowing users to tap into the lower 64 bit address space for=
 general address assignment purposes using portions that are not reserved fo=
r this purposes...

Usman

To summarize the whole discussion and clarify the last points:

RFC 3627 discouraged use of /127 and most RFCs up until RFC 5375 recommende=
d using /64 even on p2p inter-router links.

RFC 6164 recommends using /127 on p2p links - however there is no explicit =
recommendation for /128 on device Loopbacks (e.g. for peering establishment=
 etc)

The specific statement in RFC 6164 states that while using /127, care shoul=
d be taken not to use following reserved address:

(a) Addresses with all zeros in the rightmost 64 bits SHOULD NOT be assigne=
d=A0
as unicast addresses, to avoid colliding with the Subnet-Router anycast add=
ress=A0
(b) Addresses in which the rightmost 64 bits are assigned the highest 128 v=
alues=A0
(i.e., ffff:ffff:ffff:ff7f to ffff:ffff:ffff: ffff) SHOULD NOT be used as u=
nicast addresses,=A0
to avoid colliding with reserved subnet anycast addresses

Whereas the RFC 5375 recommended not to use the following:


it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to ma=
ke sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known addre=
sses:
=A0=A0 o=A0 Subnet Router Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Addresses used by Embedded-RP
=A0=A0 o=A0 ISATAP Addresses
=A0
So the questions that come out of the above discussion are:

- What are the recommendations for device Loopbacks and what reserved addre=
ss ranges need to be considered by network operators while using /128s for =
Loopbacks (should these be followed based on RFC 5357?)

- Which recommendations out of RFC 5375 and RFC 6164 should be followed by =
network operators while using /127s for inter-router point-to-point links
=A0
=A0
I (like many other engineers) would be looking for some feedback on=A0the a=
bove two points to get a clear guideline for p2p and loopback addressing

Forgot to include IPv6 group email in my last email (below)
Further to that, RFC 6164 states in the same statement that:


"When assigning and using any /127 prefixes, the following=A0considerations=
=A0
apply. Some addresses have special meanings, in particular addresses=A0
corresponding to reserved anycast addresses. When assigning prefixes=A0
(and addresses) to links, care should be taken to ensure that addresses=A0
reserved for such purposes aren't inadvertently assigned and used as=A0
unicast addresses. Otherwise, nodes may receive packets that they are=A0
not intended to receive. Specifically, assuming that a number of point-to-p=
oint=A0
links will be numbered out of a single /64 prefix:=A0
=A0(a) Addresses with all zeros in the rightmost 64 bits SHOULD NOT be assi=
gned=A0
as unicast addresses, to avoid colliding with the Subnet-Router anycast add=
ress=A0
(b) Addresses in which the rightmost 64 bits are assigned the highest 128 v=
alues=A0
(i.e., ffff:ffff:ffff:ff7f to ffff:ffff:ffff: ffff) SHOULD NOT be used as u=
nicast addresses,=A0
to avoid colliding with reserved subnet anycast addresses"


One question that comes up here is that why did RFC 6164 exclude
additional recommendations that were stated in RFC 5375 which stated:


"it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to m=
ake sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known addr=
esses:
=A0=A0 o=A0 Subnet Router Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Addresses used by Embedded-RP
=A0=A0 o=A0 ISATAP Addresses"


So should one only care about excluding reserved addresses as per RFC 6164 =
or should we also care about reserving addresses as per RFC 5375?


5375 seems to have more special addresses covered and is also a hint that i=
n the hindsight there could be more special addresses in future using bits =
in lower 64-bit portion of v6 address(?)


I wonder if it's possible to leave portions of lower 64 bits in v6 address =
for special purposes (both EUI-64 and non EUI-64) so that we get best of bo=
th worlds i.e. leave room open for future development and assignment of spe=
cial addresses using portions in lower 64 bits reserved for this purpose an=
d at the same time allowing users to tap into the lower 64 bit address spac=
e for general address assignment purposes using portions that are not reser=

Wes, I think that statement is even a bit weak, since 6164 actually says:



"assuming that a number of point-to-point links will be numbered out of a s=
ingle /64 prefix:"



so it is very clear: it is allowed by the standard to share a /64 among

however many pt2pt links the operator cares to. This is *not* a wrong

interpretation.



As you say, any future work will need to take account of this.



Brian

<DIV>5375 seems to have more special addresses covered and is also a hint t=

<DIV>I wonder if it's possible to leave portions of lower 64 bits in v6 add=

Hi,

Work on the RA-Guard specification in another IETF WG
drove the creation of two I-Ds currently in this WG:
	- draft-ietf-6man-nd-extension-headers
	- draft-ietf-6man-oversized-header-chain

The RA Guard work in the other IETF WG is currently
*blocked* pending the 6MAN WG approving the 2 I-Ds above.

In turn, the RA Guard work is a high priority for all kinds
of network operators (i.e. not just ISPs), because it provides 
practical risk reduction and risk mitigation for a real-world 
operational security issue.

RA Guard implementers can't really move forward until the
RA Guard I-D is approved by the other WG -- which I believe
is at present blocked on the 2 I-Ds at top being approved 
by the 6MAN WG.

My understanding is that the technical content in these
2 IPv6 Spec update I-Ds has been presented more than once.  

Further, the drafts have been around long enough that active
6MAN WG participants already should have read them.

I am a bit confused about where we stand with these today,
so I have two questions:

- Where does the 6MAN WG stand with these two drafts ?

- How can we move them forward (soon -- i.e. BEFORE the 
  next IETF in-person meeting), so that the other active 
  IETF work (i.e. RA-Guard) can be unblocked ?

- Can these go into WG Last Call now ?

Thanks,

Ran

Hi,


Based on the response i have received so far it appears that there are stil=
l gaps in our approach towards IPv6 addressing (maybe the original way the =
stack was written also is not ideal - but lets not go there and try to find=
 the best way out with what we've got)


IMO RFC 6164 although being very authoritative and direct about use of /127=
 (from the same /64) on each p2p link is not giving us any insight into oth=
er current (or future) reserved addresses that were explained in more detai=
l in RFC 5375 so in doing that RFC 6164 is raising doubts in our minds abou=
t using /127 (from the same /64) for p2p router links and also there is no =
talk in RFC 6164 about use of /128 loopbacks and what cautions are needed t=
here - whereas we saw that in RFC 5375 (although informational only) there =
was a more comprehensive discussion around use of shorter length prefixes f=
or p2p links and loopbacks


The motivations for RFC 6164 can also be debated here e.g:


Ping-Pong issue is dealt with RFC 4443


Neighbor Cache exhaustion on p2p links=A0can be controlled if we use filter=
s to restrict a router to perform ND for only the known IP on the far-end o=
f the p2p link or a similar mechanism that provides control over creating n=
eighbor cache only for the known IP on the farend (although this would requ=
ire some additional config overhead but is worth considering)


Also there are so many other scenarios where this would still pose an issue=
 wherever we have /64 assigned so better to provide a more holistic solutio=
n than to only consider router p2p links only.


Also its a good idea to encompass recommendations for p2p and loopbacks (an=
d for that matter any assignment where prefix length is going beyond /64 in=
to smaller subnets) into one standard track because the cautions and potent=
ial overlap issues that may exist for a /127 would pretty much be similar f=
or /128 or any prefix that goes into the lower-64 bit territory...
=A0
One=A0major concern I have with using /127 and /128 on p2p and loopbacks re=
spectively is that we need to be careful that there are existing (ISATAP et=
c) and potentially future implementations that would use/reserve bits in th=
e lower 64 bits -so unless we set aside bit boundaries in the lower 64 bits=
, we are likely to overlap with these... which is why if we use /127 with a=
 whole /64 reserved for the p2p subnet, then it should be okay but if /127 =
or /128s are numbered from the same /64 consecutively, then obviously its l=
ikely that the reserved bits used by other implementations would overlap. W=
hen this happens, any scenario where the router (which has this overlap) is=
=A0SRC/DST of=A0packets would be confused whether to interpret those lower-=
64 bits as simple global unicast prefix or try to treat the lower-64 bits i=
n a different way (according to the protocol implementation which is using =
that bit pattern).


Pls let me know if there is work being done in this space...

Usman

Subject:=A0Re: IPv6 address assignment for strictly point-to-point links an=
d Device Loopbacks














To summarize the whole discussion and clarify the last points:

RFC 3627 discouraged use of /127 and most RFCs up until RFC 5375 recommende=
d using /64 even on p2p inter-router links.

RFC 6164 recommends using /127 on p2p links - however there is no explicit =
recommendation for /128 on device Loopbacks (e.g. for peering establishment=
 etc)

The specific statement in RFC 6164 states that while using /127, care shoul=
d be taken not to use following reserved address:

(a) Addresses with all zeros in the rightmost 64 bits SHOULD NOT be assigne=
d=A0
as unicast addresses, to avoid colliding with the Subnet-Router anycast add=
ress=A0
(b) Addresses in which the rightmost 64 bits are assigned the highest 128 v=
alues=A0
(i.e., ffff:ffff:ffff:ff7f to ffff:ffff:ffff: ffff) SHOULD NOT be used as u=
nicast addresses,=A0
to avoid colliding with reserved subnet anycast addresses

Whereas the RFC 5375 recommended not to use the following:


it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to ma=
ke sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known addre=
sses:
=A0=A0 o=A0 Subnet Router Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Addresses used by Embedded-RP
=A0=A0 o=A0 ISATAP Addresses
=A0
So the questions that come out of the above discussion are:

- What are the recommendations for device Loopbacks and what reserved addre=
ss ranges need to be considered by network operators while using /128s for =
Loopbacks (should these be followed based on RFC 5357?)

- Which recommendations out of RFC 5375 and RFC 6164 should be followed by =
network operators while using /127s for inter-router point-to-point links
=A0
=A0
I (like many other engineers) would be looking for some feedback on=A0the a=
bove two points to get a clear guideline for p2p and loopback addressing

Forgot to include IPv6 group email in my last email (below)
Further to that, RFC 6164 states in the same statement that:


"When assigning and using any /127 prefixes, the following=A0considerations=
=A0
apply. Some addresses have special meanings, in particular addresses=A0
corresponding to reserved anycast addresses. When assigning prefixes=A0
(and addresses) to links, care should be taken to ensure that addresses=A0
reserved for such purposes aren't inadvertently assigned and used as=A0
unicast addresses. Otherwise, nodes may receive packets that they are=A0
not intended to receive. Specifically, assuming that a number of point-to-p=
oint=A0
links will be numbered out of a single /64 prefix:=A0
=A0(a) Addresses with all zeros in the rightmost 64 bits SHOULD NOT be assi=
gned=A0
as unicast addresses, to avoid colliding with the Subnet-Router anycast add=
ress=A0
(b) Addresses in which the rightmost 64 bits are assigned the highest 128 v=
alues=A0
(i.e., ffff:ffff:ffff:ff7f to ffff:ffff:ffff: ffff) SHOULD NOT be used as u=
nicast addresses,=A0
to avoid colliding with reserved subnet anycast addresses"


One question that comes up here is that why did RFC 6164 exclude
additional recommendations that were stated in RFC 5375 which stated:


"it is recommended to take the 'u' and 'g' bits into consideration and to m=
ake sure that there is no overlap with any of the following well-known addr=
esses:
=A0=A0 o=A0 Subnet Router Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Reserved Subnet Anycast Address
=A0=A0 o=A0 Addresses used by Embedded-RP
=A0=A0 o=A0 ISATAP Addresses"


So should one only care about excluding reserved addresses as per RFC 6164 =
or should we also care about reserving addresses as per RFC 5375?


5375 seems to have more special addresses covered and is also a hint that i=
n the hindsight there could be more special addresses in future using bits =
in lower 64-bit portion of v6 address(?)


I wonder if it's possible to leave portions of lower 64 bits in v6 address =
for special purposes (both EUI-64 and non EUI-64) so that we get best of bo=
th worlds i.e. leave room open for future development and assignment of spe=
cial addresses using portions in lower 64 bits reserved for this purpose an=
d at the same time allowing users to tap into the lower 64 bit address spac=
e for general address assignment purposes using portions that are not reser=
ved for this purposes...

Usman

Without this stated clearly there is likely to be some instances where read=

[WEG] Given the fact that there is a standard that documents the use of a /=

Wes, I think that statement is even a bit weak, since 6164 actually says:



"assuming that a number of point-to-point links will be numbered out of a s=
ingle /64 prefix:"



so it is very clear: it is allowed by the standard to share a /64 among

however many pt2pt links the operator cares to. This is *not* a wrong

interpretation.



As you say, any future work will need to take account of this.

> IMO RFC 6164 although being very authoritative and direct about use of /127 (from the same /64) on each p2p link is not giving us any insight into other current (or future) reserved addresses that were explained in more detail in RFC 5375 so in doing that RFC 6164 is raising doubts in our minds about using /127 (from the same /64) for p2p router links and also there is no talk in RFC 6164 about use of /128 loopbacks and what cautions are needed there - whereas we saw that in RFC 5375 (although informational only) there was a more comprehensive discussion around use of shorter length prefixes for p2p links and loopbacks

*You* may feel that RFC 6164 is raising doubt. I don't. I'm glad to see
an RFC that fills a needed hole, and clearly describes something which
is already used by service providers (including my employer).

RA-guard work mostly done at v6ops.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-08
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-implementation-04

Probably drafts should be circulated on v6ops mailing list and have 
support from there.

> Also its a good idea to encompass recommendations for p2p and =

the cautions and potential overlap issues that may exist for a /127 =
would pretty much be similar for /128 or any prefix that goes into the =
lower-64 bit territory...

> One major concern I have with using /127 and /128 on p2p and loopbacks =
respectively is that we need to be careful that there are existing =
(ISATAP etc) and potentially future implementations that would =
use/reserve bits in the lower 64 bits -so unless we set aside bit =
boundaries in the lower 64 bits, we are likely to overlap with these... =
which is why if we use /127 with a whole /64 reserved for the p2p =
subnet, then it should be okay but if /127 or /128s are numbered from =
the same /64 consecutively, then obviously its likely that the reserved =
bits used by other implementations would overlap. When this happens, any =
scenario where the router (which has this overlap) is SRC/DST of packets =
would be confused whether to interpret those lower-64 bits as simple =
global unicast prefix or try to treat the lower-64 bits in a different =
way (according to the protocol implementation which is using that bit =
pattern).

a few general points:
 - the 64 bit boundary is a "policy". implementations should handle any =
prefix length.
   implementations should, and as far as I know do, consider all bits in =
the address as transparent.
 - a loopback interface using a /128 cannot by definition overlap with =
anything else.=20
 - for a point to point link the operator should know if there =
applications at either of two end points requiring the use of
   reserved addresses, if so the link must use a /64 otherwise /127 is =
fine.

these are operational choices, and I don't see a need to change IPv6 =
addressing architecture or protocol specifications.

cheers,

draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-implementation cannot be published as RFC
because of normative references to draft-ietf-6man-nd-extension-headers
and draft-ietf-6man-oversized header chains. i.e., the 6man drafts need
to be published as RFCs along or before
draft-ietf-v6ops-ra-guard-implementation.

FWIW, my take is that the aforementioned two 6man documents are ready
for WGLC.

Thanks,

IETF v6ops WG Charter does not include updates to the
IPv6 specifications.  Quoting from this WG Charter:
	"Specifying any protocols or transition 
	mechanisms is out of scope of the WG."

IETF 6MAN WG Charter DOES include updates to the
IPv6 specifications, again quoting from this WG Charter:
	"The working group will address protocol limitations/issues
	discovered during deployment and operation."

This is why the draft-*-ra-guard-* documents (quoted above)
belong in the IETF v6ops WG, while the 2 different I-Ds 
that I mentioned belong here in the IETF 6MAN WG.

Now, in practice, the 2 draft-ietf-6man-* I-Ds that I mentioned 
before already have been reviewed by many folks in v6ops, 
as part of examining the RA Guard documents, and I believe
there is broad support for these updates within v6ops.
However, these 2 protocol specification updates are required 
to be handled by the IETF 6MAN WG, simply as a matter
of the applicable IETF WG charters and usual IETF processes.

Yours

Some vendors are permitting the use of the link local interface address to b=
e used in next hop routing there for negating the need to us additional unic=
ast addresses on P2P links. When using routing protocols of OSPFv3 and BGP, I=
 have used /128 loopback global unicast and configured advertisements for ag=
gregated prefixes between a /32 and /64 with policy based routing. This has m=
inimized the potential for overlap and has also allowed the routing tables t=
o be much smaller.  Has anyone else tried this approach?

I am not trying to stir up a debate over something that only "I" feel
=A0
There is clearly two set of recommendations over the same addressing scenar=
io which I am only trying to clarify with the IETF community.

RFC 6164 has recommendations that do not encompass all the recommendations =
that were put forward in RFC 5375

So although when RFC 6547 moved the RFC 3627 to historical status, it compl=
etely ignored that RFC 5375 has additional recommendations for the same /12=
7 and /128 addressing scenarios.

What I am now trying to clarify is - should we consider recommendations in =
RFC 5375 (section B.2) as obsolete ?=20

When the two set of recommendations for /127 assignment=A0i.e. one coming f=
rom RFC 6164 and the other coming from RFC 5375 are competing with each oth=
er, should we ignore those in 5375 and only comply with 6164

For those who feel that manual (and consecutive) assignment of /127 for p2p=
 links from the same /64=A0or /128 for loopbacks from the same /64 subnet i=
s not going to cause any overlap - I would recommend to read section B.2 of=
 RFC 5375 and then provide some comments afterwards.

a few general points:

=A0=A0=A0implementations should, and as far as I know do, consider all bits=
 in the address as transparent.
- a loopback interface using a /128 cannot by definition overlap with anyth=

- for a point to point link the operator should know if there applications =
at either of two end points requiring the use of
=A0=A0=A0reserved addresses, if so the link must use a /64 otherwise /127 i=

these are operational choices, and I don't see a need to change IPv6 addres=

Hi,
=A0
I am still confused - And I'll try to explain my confusion.

While we can still go ahead and say recommendations on /127 that exist in s=
ection B.2.2 of RFC 5375 no longer hold true and the recommendations on /12=
7 that exist in RFC 6164 prevail over 5375

The above is fine - but if you read RFC 5375 section B.2 in detail, it talk=
s about all prefix lengths above /64 and encompasses /128 for loopbacks in =
its recommendations as well (section B.2.3) - whereas RFC 6164 does NOT tal=
k about addressing for loopback interfaces at all

What is even more confusing is that if you consider the recommendations for=
 /128 as per RFC 5375 as TRUE, then you go back into a loop thinking that t=
here should be no discrimination between /127 or /128 because RFC 5375 talk=
s about "overlap" and restricts / cautions us about reserved bits that shou=
ld not be used for /128 assignments and uses the same recommendation for /1=
27

Question: How can those reserved bits NOT be a problem for /127 assignments=
 but a problem for /128 assignments?

This is why I think if (for whatever reason which I am still trying to dige=
st) we have decided to use /127 without considering reserved bits for IEEE =
or other protocols, we need to provide similar or atleast some recommendati=
ons for /128 on loopbacks=A0that sit inline with what we have recommended i=
n RFC 6164 - otherwise the confusion still exists !!
=A0
I hope I am able to convey my confusion correctly... and this is shared by =
many peers in the industry that I have spoken to... hence the reason in pra=
ctice although they are assigning /127 on p2p links, they are still reservi=
ng the whole parent /64 for each p2p link seperately......
=A0
=A0
Regards
Usman

There aren't really. The world moved on from 3627 and the scenario 
described in 6164 represents both observed reality and expectations.

The confusion aired from Usman is also with me.

The potential address overlap in lower-64 bit space while assigning prefix
longer than /64 (in RFC5375) seems to me a valid concern.I am wondering if
the community regarded these potential address overlaps are no longer of
concerns at all while RFC 6164 was published.

Hi Joel,

RFC 6164 overriding 3627 seems logical
However, I am looking more from perspective of 5375

Also If one has to "go read the discussion on 6164" to understand it - this i=
s itself an indication that 6164 has not done a good job of providing a conc=
lusive recommendation on use of prefixes with subnet lengths longer than /64=


If 6164 was going to override recommendations of 5375, the least one would e=
xpect is the RFC 6164 to document the reasons why it felt that the additiona=
l considerations provided in section B.2.4  B.2.6 and B.2.7 of RFC5375 are t=
o be ignored or don't hold true anymore- this reasoning should have been mad=
e part of the RFC6164...

Instead the 6164 provided reasons around ping-pong issue and neighbor cache i=
ssue - both of which appear weak as one is resolved thru 4443 and the other c=
an be resolved thru feature enhancements in the neighbor caching process...

Usman

RFC 5375 is an Informational document. You are at liberty to read it or not,
and to make use of it or not.

RFC 6164 is a Standards track document. It is of course a voluntary standard
like all IETF standards, but if you claim to implement it, it clearly preempts
an older Informational document such as RFC 5375.

As SM reminded us, it was probably a mistake that RFC 6164 didn't formally
update RFC 5375, but so what? There are many minor inconsistencies between
RFCs. Please don't lose any sleep over it. As long as you aren't accidentally
running SLAAC on a pt2pt link, none of this matters, as far as I can see.

P.S. I am now adding this thread to my "ietf-silly-subj" filter.

I'll conclude on the following points:

i. The only guidance that's out there today for device loopbacks (whether in=
formational or standards track) is 5375 -because 6164 (whether voluntarily o=
r involuntarily) chose not to provide any considerations for /128 loopbacks

ii. A reader following considerations of /128 from 5375 is led to also consi=
der B.2.4  B.2.6 and B.2.7 for any prefixes where the subnet length is longe=
r than /64

iii. If 6164 overrides any previous RFCs, IMO it should provide some reasoni=
ng of why it no longer felt that the sections B.2.4. B.2.6 and B.2.7 of 5375=
 should be considered

(Hopefully) my last email on this topic:

- Not only has RFC 6164 failed to properly update RFC 5375 with any reasonin=
g provided for 5375 section(s) B.2.xx

- It has also defied and failed to update RFC 4291 which says (section 2.5.1=
) - "For all unicast addresses, except those that start with binary value 00=
0, interface IDs are required to be 64 bits long"

- IMO 6164 seems to be justifying actions of those deployments where ppl hav=
e simply gone ahead and deployed /127s without properly doing their homework=
 on v6 addressing

- This has put a constraint on greenfield deployments where we are in a posi=
tion to implement /64s but are now having to deal with a compromise for exis=
ting deployments

- We are fine to follow 6164, but since RFCs come and go, if tomorrow the ap=
plications demand specific use of interface identifiers in the lower 64-bit s=
pace, and you folks send out a new RFC to override 6164, then we'll be requi=
red to re-address our network - then "I Will Come Back To Haunt You Guys - i=
f I am alive" :)

Pls don't take me the wrong way, I have read many RFCs and think you have do=
ne a great job buy I was never confused the way I am now after successively g=
oing through 3627, 4291, 5375 and now 6164....

Usman

Minor point about this draft: To me there's a contradiction between

2.1 "These link-local addresses SHOULD be hard-coded to prevent

and

2.2 "Lower configuration complexity: LLAs require no specific
configuration"
