I also remember Gert D=C3=B6ring running into this when implementing =

For simplicity let's focus on SLAAC for address configuration and
RA-based on-link determination.  Then, do you mean you don't
understand how these two can be different?
- a prefix advertised in an RA PIO with the A flag on, for SLAAC
- a prefix advertised in an RA PIO with the L flag on, for on-link
  determination

If that's what you mean, I'd suggest you read
draft-jinmei-6man-prefix-clarify-00.  Essentially, there's nothing new
in this draft itself - one can reach the conclusion from existing
RFCs, but this draft gives a set of facts regarding this specific
question.  You may not like the conclusion or might even want to call
it "broken configuration" etc, but at least today these two can be
different.  And that's intentional for the protocol designer,
explicitly discussed while the wg worked on rfc2462bis and confirmed.

Personally, I can generally live with the proposed text in terms of
making progress (with one reservation, see below), but I don't see
much advantage over the way simpler proposal by Brian:

And, at least I don't think this is a good idea:

I'm afraid this is not only controversial but also technically not
very accurate.  If a host receives an on-link prefix 2001:db8:1:abc0:/60
in an RA PIO, for example, this prefix might actually be an aggregated
on-link prefix for the following 16 /64 prefixes:
2001:db8:1:abc0::/64
2001:db8:1:abc1::/64
...
2001:db8:1:abcf::/64
each of which is used as the subnet prefix for SLAAC.  In this case
the intermediate 4 bits are actually used as some intra-link group
ID, and the remaining 64 bits are the "interface identifier".  We
could still call the combined 68 bits an "interface identifier" (after
all, when you introduce a new definition it can have any name as you
like), but I think it's rather confusing.

To me, the simplest way to get the point across is to explicitly state that=
 in principle, SLAAC can be used to configure interfaces that are not on-li=
nk. And then, you let the reader wonder what good such addresses would be. =
But the point is simple enough to make, using your example. It is conceivab=
le that SLAAC creates an address, but too bad, so sad, it can=1B$B!G=1B(Bt =
be used on this link.

Yes, stating also this explicitly helps, and it eliminates the need to list=
 exceptions. As of today, I don=1B$B!G=1B(Bt think there's any intention of=
 creating IIDs other than 64 bits using SLAAC, *and* I don=1B$B!G=1B(Bt thi=

Agreed. I've wondered about this very example. However, if IIDs longer than=
 64 bits are not contemplated, then the situation is identical to what is a=
lready the case in IPv4. A prefix assigned by, say, an ISP, can be further =
lengthened on your premises. On the other hand, there's also no reason to d=
ismiss the possibility of IIDs longer than 64 bits, on certain links, for w=
hatever weird circumstances in the future.

Just to clarify this:

"To me, the simplest way to get the point across is to explicitly state tha=
t in principle, SLAAC can be used to configure interfaces that are not on-l=
ink."

This would not be the responsibility of RFC 4291-bis, I shouldn't think. It=
's a quirk of SLAAC that RFC 4862-bis should elaborate.

Oops, I've just noticed I made a cut-and-paste error and referred to
the wrong text.  What I meant here is this one:

The rest of my point was about this text.  Sorry for any possible

For simplicity let's focus on SLAAC for address configuration and
RA-based on-link determination.  Then, do you mean you don't
understand how these two can be different?
- a prefix advertised in an RA PIO with the A flag on, for SLAAC
- a prefix advertised in an RA PIO with the L flag on, for on-link
  determination


No, completely understand that e.g.

https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/MarkSmith214/ipv6-ras-mostly-necessary

I'm pretty confident of my understanding of all of these things. That's why
I don't understand the need for any new terminology or concepts. The need
is not obvious to me, which is why I need more stated and explained context
and description of the problem and confusion.

The problem may be that some of the concepts aren't as clear to others. I
think that would argue for more clarity and explanation, perhaps in another
ID. I think creating new terms and concepts may create more confusion
rather than eliminating it.


If that's what you mean, I'd suggest you read
draft-jinmei-6man-prefix-clarify-00.  Essentially, there's nothing new
in this draft itself


Agree.

I haven't fully read it, however one thing I'd suggest adding (discovered
missing by searching for 'DHCP') is that the use of stateful DHCPv6 for
addressing is only an alternative to SLAAC addressing, and is not making
any implied statements about the prefix the DHCPV6 addresses are coming
from.

If nodes receiving addresses via DHCPV6 are to consider other addresses in
the link's prefix onlink, then there also needs to be an RA PIO with the L
bit set for the prefix.

I'd also mention that SLAAC and DHCPv6 addressing can coexist within the
same prefix (and do in deployed practice, because that is the default IPv6
configuration for OpenWRT/LEDE).


- one can reach the conclusion from existing
RFCs, but this draft gives a set of facts regarding this specific
question.  You may not like the conclusion or might even want to call
it "broken configuration" etc, but at least today these two can be
different.  And that's intentional for the protocol designer,
explicitly discussed while the wg worked on rfc2462bis and confirmed.


Regards,
Mark.

Not "on link" =3D/=3D "not usable on this link". AIUI, all it means is =

Or have I misunderstood ?

To step up back to the original question, what specific text or guidance sh=
ould be in draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6rtr-reqs-00, or even RFC6434-bis (hence my =
interest), with respect to IPv6 CPEs shipping with IPv6 enabled by default?

This is what the draft currently says about provisioning: https://tools.iet=
f.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6rtr-reqs-00#section-3.3

Is that sufficient?=20

Okay. I suppose this could be true in some odd cases like IPv6 over ATM, or=
 whatever, or it could be that the prefix is not on link at all. Don't want=
 to speculate on all the ramifications or possible uses.

However I agree with Mark, this has no impact on address format. It's not a=
 "different type" of IPv6 unicast address. RFC 4291 is about address archit=
ecture, so the fine nuances of SLAAC don't need to be addressed here at all=
?

This seems under-specified to me:
"SLAAC MUST be able to be disabled by operators
who prefer to use some other mechanism for address management and
assignment (specifically for customer facing edge ports)."

Shouldn't that be more precise? Running SLAAC is actually mandatory, as far as
configuring LL addresses goes. So it can't be "disabled" as such. I think this
wants to say that it MUST be possible to configure RA/PIOs with A=0.

In turn that means that RFC4861 MUST be supported - and that isn't even
cited anywhere in the draft. Doh! An IPv6 router without RAs would be a
strange beast.

Or configure no RAs at all. LL address generation is *not* dependent
on RA (but *does* depend on NS/NA/DAD).

It is perfectly possible to run IPv6 routing without RA (even if you
don't normally want to do that). Check your nearest Juniper router
if you doubt this is possible.

Where does the default router address come from, then?

On the router?  "OSPF, BGP, ..."

On the host?  "static route pointing to fe80::1%eth0"  (which is the VRRP
address of your upstream router pair)

I suppose there should also be a knob to turn neighbor resolution off
too, so that people can exclusively use statically configured ND cache
entries in routers.

That's a different bag of worms, but indeed, a knob to replace NS/NA with
something reasonable would be good.  "Static ND cache" is not an exactly
common request, though - but in a fully pre-defined scenario (think=20
industrial ethernet which already does away with MAC learning), this
has benefits.


Seriously: RAs for default router announcement work nicely for certain
use cases, and are just not good enough for others, like "fast and=20
well-defined failover among multiple default gateways".

But do not let me stop you from ridiculing other people's use cases - this
is part of what has made IPv6 such a tremendous success, so by all means,
give us more of it.

It would be an alternative method of mitigating ND cache attacks,
which are exploiting dynamic ND cache entry creation.

That's what VRRP, HSRP or GLBP are for. VRRP supporting IPv6 was
specified in 2010 in RFC5798, and a search shows that Cisco have
supported IPv6 in HSRP and GLBP since 2011.

RAs plus NUD is going to be a poor mans or better than nothing VRRP.
There was no such equivalent functionality in base IPv4. The out of
the box IPv6 functionality is not better than VRRP/HSPR/GLBP, however
it is better than IPv4's.


> But do not let me stop you from ridiculing other people's use cases

I usually understand the use cases, however I don't understand why the
methods used in IPv6 must be the IPv4 methods, even though IPv6
methods exist and are deployed and are working for many people.

People usually don't actually describe why the existing and widely
deployed IPv6 methods cannot be used. They just assert it must be the
way IPv4 worked. It's understandable because of familiarity, however
things can't be improved without things being changed.

Sometimes they also assert what they're objecting to is "religion".
Asserting it is "religion" is implying that there was no objective or
rational reasoning behind the decision (there always is), which is
really just resorting to an ad hominem attack on the person they
disagree with and also those who made those design and protocol
decisions.

Things should always be objectively evaluated here. I think blindly
carrying over IPv4's practices and methods to IPv6 is closer to
religion than anything that appears in IPv6 - it is saying "even
though the situation and requirements have changed, we believe the old
ways are and will always be the best ways". I think that is a very
subjective approach.

The best way to prove the IPv6 methods don't work is to deploy the
IPv6 methods as they stand. If they fail, document the environment
they failed in and how. Come back with that evidence, which may
provide a solid reason to change how IPv6 works in that specific
regard.

Regards,
Mark.

I completely disagree, but it=E2=80=99s dependent on where the router exists.
For a home gateway router, =E2=80=9CIPv6 on by default=E2=80=9D would increase the numb=
er
of people using IPv6, although I have no way to estimate the impact.

For an enterprise edge router, =E2=80=9CIPv6 on by default=E2=80=9D might accidentally =
get
IPv6 deployed. There=E2=80=99s potential risk if =E2=80=9CIPv6 firewall on by default=E2=80=
=9D
isn=E2=80=99t also enabled, but this is mentioned in the Security Considerations
section.

In data centers and core networks, there isn=E2=80=99t a strong case either way,
because those configurations should be tightly managed, and accidentally
enabling IPv6 is unlikely to leak anywhere else.

Well, yes, but not always in the way I think you mean it.
Tens of millions of people use IPv6 daily without ever having done a
cost-benefit analysis.

Yeah, that=E2=80=99s a bad vendor relationship, and a vendor doing that must be
pretty confident that their customer otherwise loves their product and
isn=E2=80=99t tempted to find an alternative vendor.

Anyone astonished by IPv6 working needs to be astonished.

Okay, now I see what you mean, but I'm afraid your original message
didn't read that way.  Personally, I think it makes sense to introduce
a new term, since when there's a confusion naming things appropriately
is a good first step to clarify it.  But I wouldn't be surprised if
some others don't see the need for it.  Whether a particular term
(like "on-link prefix") is good choice or whether introducing a new
term is a good way forward for rfc4291bis is a different question.

Once you say "static" and "configured" you're outside the scope of
default behaviour and automatic configuration. If that's in scope
for the draft, fine, but it needs to be described much more explicitly
than a throw-away line like "SLAAC MUST be able to be disabled by operators
who prefer to use some other mechanism..." which is what I was commenting
on.

Remember that the section of the draft including that text is titled
"Supporting Zero Touch Provisioning for Connected Devices". And
(for example) VRRP isn't mentioned anywhere in the draft.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6rtr-reqs in case
anybody has lost track.)

Which is exactly what I've been saying as a possible reason why people
are running without default-route-from-RA. =20

So it seems I am misunderstanding your point.

We do use the IPv6 method:  HSRP with an IPv6 LLA (because that *is*
"the IPv6 method", as on all but one platform Cisco's HSRP for IPv6
does not permit configuring a GUA as HSRP address, which would be
"the IPv4 way").

We've done RA based failover, and it was far too slow and far too=20
non-deterministic ("honour router priorities?  why?") to be satisfying.

While I agree with you, this is just so slightly straying off the original
question I've replied to...

And yes, I've tried most of "the IPv6 ways" to get things done, and my
dislike is growing.  Like, how comes there is no remote ARP attack on=20
anything, but multiple router platforms are vulnerable to remote ND
attacks...  (not speaking of neighbor cache exhaustion, but of the
incoming queue saturation by bogus packets coming from anywhere bug).

Using ICMP with (among others) GUAs for IPv6 ND was a tremendously bad
idea.  First you open an attack surface for off-link attacks, and then
you hope that implementations would be able to do hopcount=3D255 filtering=
=20
early enough that you do not drown out legitimate packets in a rate-
limited queue later on...

So a question for you Mark, when RFC4291 says "subnet prefix", in your mind
what PIO flags does this translate to?

To me, since RFC 4291 also says that an IID must be 64 bits, I feel it must
only be referring to a PIOs with the A flag set, because RFC4682 is clear
that you need a PIO with a length of 64 bits and the A flag set to use
SLAAC.  However, both RFC4681 and RFC4682 are quite clear that a PIO with
the L flag set can be any length. So if a subnet is fixed at 64 bits, then
how can it be referring to PIOs with only the L flag set which can be any
length, therefore PIOs with only the L flag set must be something separate
from a subnet prefix as defined in RFC4291.

Now if a subnet prefix can be any length and then it could be referring to
a PIO with only the L flag set.  However, then something needs to constrain
IIDs to 64 bits, but only for SLAAC. In my opinion, we either need to talk
about on-link prefixes or we need to change the constraints on the
definition of a subnet in RFC4291bis so it fits PIOs with the A flag set or
PIOs with only the L flag set.

So I think something like this would work;

IPv6 unicast routing and on-link determination are based on prefixes
of any valid length up to 128 bits[BCP198]. However, 64 bit prefixes
are recommended for both subnet assignment and on-link determination.


and;

64 bit Interface Identifiers are required for Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)[RFC4862], except if the first three bits of
the address are 000, otherwise 64 bit Interface Identifiers are
recommended. The rationale for using 64 bit Interface

Identifiers can be found in [RFC7421].


A definition of subnet prefix and IID something like that leaves room for
it to be referring to PIOs with the A flag set or PIOs only the L flag set,
then the gory details can be left to RFC4681 and RFC4682.  However a
definition tightly constrained to 64 bits for subnet prefixes and IIDs
means it can't be referring to PIOs with only the L flag set, and I believe
they are architectural important, therefore something needs to describe
them that is distinct from a subnet prefix, in my mind that would be an
on-link prefix.

So, if you think the details of on-link prefixes don't belong in
RFC4291bis, I'm fine with that, then just relax the definition of a subnet
prefix so that PIOs with only the L flag fit within the definition of a
subnet prefix.

Thanks

No it isn't. Quite the opposite; it's carefully written to avoid
such a statement.

Well, yes, by itself it it was carefully worded not to say that, but
combined with RFC4291 its quite clear, and I'm not aware of any
implementations of SLAAC that will generate addresses for PIOs with the A
flag set and any-other length than 64. (If you are please tell, I'd really
like to be able to argue this differently)

So, I don't think the combination of RFC4291bis and RFC4682 could
legitimately allow any-other length than 64 for PIOs with the A flag set as
well, otherwise its more than a just a bis, it would be an actual change.

Thanks

I'm afraid we're now in another distraction for 4291bis, but I'll
answer this particular question.  I'd say the SLAAC
implementation of most if not all BSD variants carefully interpret the
sense of RFC4862 in that the SLAAC spec itself doesn't specify the IID
(or subnet prefix) length.   As I'll explain below, it's true that
this implementation (happens to) only allow 64-bit IID for SLAAC, but
it has nothing to do with RFC4291.

To be more specific, see the prelist_update() function of the FreeBSD
implementation:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/netinet6/nd6_rtr.c#L1469
in particular, this part:

		/*
		 * Prefix Length check:
		 * If the sum of the prefix length and interface identifier
		 * length does not equal 128 bits, the Prefix Information
		 * option MUST be ignored.  The length of the interface
		 * identifier is defined in a separate link-type specific
		 * document.
		 */
		ifidlen = in6_if2idlen(ifp);
...
		if (ifidlen + pr->ndpr_plen != 128) {
			nd6log((LOG_INFO,
			    "prelist_update: invalid prefixlen "
			    "%d for %s, ignored\n",
			    pr->ndpr_plen, if_name(ifp)));
			goto end;
		}

and, you can see the implementation of in6_if2idlen():
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/netinet6/in6.c#L1961
It only refers to link-type spec like RFC2464, etc, and has nothing to
do with the addressing architecture (if you read the entire function
you may find the default case interesting in this context, but this
should actually be an "impossible" case, and in any event irrelevant
to the addressing architecture).

So, yes, the current implementation only allows 64-bit IID in the end,
but that's simply because all published link-type specifications adopt
this value.  The "SLAAC implementation" (the prelist_update()
function()) itself is completely agnostic about these values, and if
and when some link type defines a non-64-bit IID, all you have to do
would be to update another 'case' to in6_if2idlen() (which is an
implementation of "link-type specification", not SLAAC itself).

I tend to agree on the conclusion (i.e., talking about non-64 IID for
SLLAC would be a subject of bis), but to be very accurate, it's not
directly because of the combination of RFC4291 (or its bis) and
RFC4862.  It's because of the combination of RFC4862 and currently
published link-type specifications such as RFC2464 (RFC4862
assumes the latter is consistent with RFC4291, and it's the case
today, but that's an indirect cause).

The only way to interpret the RFC 4291bis text

  "Interface Identifiers are 64 bit long except =E2=80=A6 when the =
addresses are manually
   configured=E2=80=9D

should be that the length is 64 bits long if the addresses are =
auto-configured by SLAAC.

In constrast, SLAAC doesn=E2=80=99t for itself constrain the length of =
the IID.

Then, it=E2=80=99s RFC 4291bis which mandates the IID length of IID =
before anyone else does; even before any link-layer-specific documents =
mandate it.

I=E2=80=99d assume RFC 4291bis is the primary place for the idea of IID =
length of 64 bits. No one else to blame.

Am I correct?

DY

So by itself, the term "subnet prefix" or an instance of a subnet
prefix (e.g., 2001:db8::/64) doesn't really tell me anything about the
context it is being used in, so it doesn't automatically translate in
my mind into a set of PIO flags. A "subnet prefix" could be appearing
in a route table, in an ACL, in an RA PIO, or on a training course
page. I don't know or can accurately guess anything further about the
subnet prefix without knowing the use context.

If the use context is added, e.g. "a subnet prefix within a PIO", then
the associated properties of what the L and A bit values are become
relevant because the use context of the subnet prefix was stated.

So in section 2.5, "Unicast Addresses", which I think is the formal
definition of the structure of addresses, there are no statements that
the context of the "subnet prefix" and "interface ID" definitions are
only when SLAAC is used to generate and configure them.

There isn't mention of any address generation or configuration method
at all (i.e, no mention of SLAAC, DHCPv6 or manual configuration), so
that says to me that those definitions of address format and structure
apply in all cases - they're properties of an address as an entity by
itself, and are not properties that may or may not apply for different
address configuration methods.

So from

"2001:db8::1/64"

you can say that the boundary between the subnet prefix and the IID is
64 bits into the address, that the subnet prefix value is 2001:db8:0:0
and the IID value is 0:0:0:1. However you cannot accurately say
anything else about it, because there is no other information provided
including use context.

I may not be fully understanding this, however I think you might be
saying that the following could be interpreted as valid in theory in
an RA:

RA PIO 1: 2001:db8::/64 [L=3D0][A=3D1]
RA PIO 2: 2001:db8::/120 [L=3D1][A=3D0]

meaning that for SLAAC's purposes, there are 64 bits available to
generate the IID, where as the host will only consider the range of
addresses 2001:db8::0 through 2001:db8::ff to be onlink, and the other
2^64 - 256 addresses within 2001:db8::/64 are off-link (or the
opposite could be valid in theory - the onlink prefix size is larger
than the SLAAC prefix size).

It might be valid. Although RFC4861 says,

"Prefix Information options: one Prefix Information option
             for each prefix listed in AdvPrefixList with the option
             fields set from the information in the AdvPrefixList entry
             as follows ..."

the subnet prefixes are have different prefix lengths so they are
different subnet prefixes.

If it were valid, I wonder if there is a useful use case. I suppose
you could use it to do something like divide the /64 subnet prefix up
into e.g. half SLAAC, half DHCP e.g., RA PIO 1: 2001:db8::/65
[L=3D0][A=3D1], and a DHCPv6 address range of 2001:db8:0:0:8000::/65.
Although in practice we now have 2 x /65s, the IID is still 64 bits in
size. A bit of a bodge.

Broadly do.

While the line is probably already blurred, and perhaps it may not be
realistically possible, however it would be nice to have RFC4291bis
dealing with properties of addresses, subnet prefixes and IIDs that
are common across use contexts, and then have other RFCs provide and
describe those specific use contexts, and which then add properties to
the addresses and subnet prefixes that suit the specific use context.

It's subtle.  The facts are:

- RFC4291 specifies the length of IIDs for some set of addresses to be
  64 bits.  rfc4291bis-09 introduces some more exceptions, but
  essentially it's the same as RFC4291 in this sense.
- Some link-type specifications such as RFC2464 also specify the
  length of IIDs independently (RFC2464 only refers to the addressing
  architecture RFC for the concept IID, not for the length of it).  As
  far as I know all existing such link-type specs use 64 bits for the
  length of IIDs.
- SLAAC spec (RFC4862) doesn't specify the length of IIDs.  It simply
  uses link-type specs for the primary reference of it with the
  assumption that those link-type specs are consistent with the
  addressing architecture.

>From these I can only say for sure that RFC4862 itself is agnostic
about the length of IIDs.  At least to me, it's not so obvious
whether "RFC 4291bis is the primary place for the idea of IID length
of 64 bits".

RFC2464 is =E2=80=98by exception=E2=80=99, according to the wording used =
in RFC4291bis.

For that, RFC 4291bis should be the primary (albeit not =E2=80=98the =
only=E2=80=99) place mandating the IID length of 64 bits.

This is my understanding.

If you mean "by exceptions defined in standards track documents"

   Interface Identifiers are 64 bit long except if the first three bits
   of the address are 000, or when the addresses are manually
   configured, or by exceptions defined in standards track documents.

then no, this phrase actually has RFC6164 (and future similar RFCs) in
mind.  Besides, RFC2462 can't be an "exception" in this context as it
says the IIDs are 64 bit long.  RFC2462 is actually one of the cases
where link-type specifications and the addressing architecture are
consistent.

Yes, although defined separately, RFC2462 comes up with the same IID =
length.

Other than that, do you know any other standards of the same case =
wherein the IID length is defined to be 64 bits long?

If such cases are not prevalent, =E2=80=98primary=E2=80=99 might be in =
place if not =E2=80=98only=E2=80=99.

I=E2=80=99m not sure whether you agree or don=E2=80=99t.

So, the only practical places to confine the IID length to 64 bits are =
the link-type specs like rfc2464.

Then, why not simply state as such in rfc4291bis like, e.g.:

  =E2=80=9CThe length of the interface identifier is defined in =
link-layer-specific standard track documents.=E2=80=9D PERIOD,

which should replace the current text,

   Interface Identifiers are 64 bit long except if the first three bits
   of the address are 000, or when the addresses are manually
   configured, or by exceptions defined in standards track documents.
   The rationale for using 64 bit Interface Identifiers can be found in
   [RFC7421]. An example of a standards track exception is [RFC6164]
   that standardises 127 bit prefixes on inter-router point-to-point
   links.

RFC2467, RFC2470, RFC2497, RFC2590, RFC3146, RFC5072.
Perhaps some more.

Whether something is "primary" is quite subjective in general, and
especially so in this specific case.  I respect your own opinion, but,
to me, it's not that obvious as I explained in a few messages ago.
Anyway, almost lost in context I don't what you're trying to achieve,
but at least I'm pretty sure it's even quite difficult to reach a
consensus that rfc4291bis is the primary reference about the IID
length.

OK. Let=E2=80=99s pin down two points:

  o SLAAC is agnostic to the length of IID.
  o Explicit definition on the length of IID are with other standard =
track documents.

Then, why not simply state as such in rfc4291bis like, e.g.:

 =E2=80=9CThe length of the interface identifier is defined in =
link-layer-specific standard track documents.=E2=80=9D PERIOD,

which should replace the whole of the current related text,

  Interface Identifiers are 64 bit long except if the first three bits
  of the address are 000, or when the addresses are manually
  configured, or by exceptions defined in standards track documents.
  The rationale for using 64 bit Interface Identifiers can be found in
  [RFC7421]. An example of a standards track exception is [RFC6164]
  that standardises 127 bit prefixes on inter-router point-to-point
  links.

I think we give a non-normative statement that gives a sense of the answer
in RFC4291bis like they "are usually 64 bits" and then point to where is is
normatively defined. That seems like the what should be said in an
architectural document like RFC4291bis.

You can't ignore this:

   o RFC4291 and rfc4291bis also say the length of IID is 64 bits for
   some set of IPv6 addresses.

Reconciling the 2nd and 3rd points would be quite tricky, and that's
one main reason why I don't think "what's the primary definition" is
so obvious.  So...

...it can't be that simple anyway.  In addition, (in my understanding)
because it's too substantial a change from RFC4291.  rfc4291bis is
basically an attempt of elevating the original RFC to an Internet
Standard, so, in general, we can only make clarifications or minor
changes.

>From a purely technical point of view, such a change can be a subject
of discussion.  IIRC some people have actually proposed ideas like
that.  But this won't be in the scope of rfc4291bis.

Could you please point me to?

In light of the upcoming standard track document =
<draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host-07> which deals with =
=E2=80=98host prefix=E2=80=99, may I suggest to change the text now in =
the beginning of Sec. 2.4

  |          n bits               |           128-n bits            |

for generalization and to leave room for other types of prefix could =

If you think it's an error in RFC6164, you should report it:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata.php#reportnew

It's an interesting question whether, if such an erratum is accepted,
the RFC Editor would then update the metadata for RFC4291.

However, if we manage to get rfc4291bis out, the issue will be resolved
anyway.

Regards

Correct. That's why I most recently suggested:

"Interface Identifiers are 64 bits long when used for Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) [RFC4862]."

That's a statement of fact. IMNSHO anything more than that is basically
noise, in terms of rough consensus and running code.

Agreed. These two RFCs do not differ, in regards to requiring 64 bits,
*and* EUI-64 in particular.

No, RFC 4291 is agnostic on SLAAC IID length. It refers the reader to
whatever IPv6-over-foo RFC, for IID length and formulation. But RFC 4193
(ULA) seems more insistent that it must be 64 bits and EUI-64. After all,
as specific as RFC 4193 is on how to create ULA prefixes, there's no other
option than 64-bit IIDs, for ULAs.

What I am saying is that 6man seems to have come to an agreement that SLAAC
should be restricted to using 64-bit IIDs.

This SLAAC restriction is not directly related to RFCs 2464, 4291, or 4862,
because these all mandated EUI-64. Still, we seem to want 64-bit IIDs
mandatory for SLAAC. Why? Because we want 64-bit IIDs to be the "default"
and "recommended" length, and because we figure that SLAAC will be the most
popular way of forming IPv6 addresses.

So, if RFC 4291-bis wants to state as much, that's okay with me.

I think the IID length rules can be considerably simplified, compared with
the "exceptions" listed in RFC 4291. Instead of "exceptions" to the 64-bit
hard boundary, list the cases where it applies. SLAAC mostly, maybe a
mention of Ethernet LLAs (although subject to update of RFC 2464), and
ULAs. Just trying to be consistent here.


Look at RFC8064, the list of Foo-over- IPv6 RFCs that it updates all
generate 64 bit IIDs.

We simplify in computing by generalising and by reducing or avoiding
exceptions. Simplicity makes things more robust, as there is less
opportunity for faults to occur (e.g., coding bugs, misconfiguration,
unexpected function or system interaction).

Tying IID size to specific link layers or specific address configuration
methods is increasing complexity, not reducing it. What justifies this
increased complexity? I don't think "because that's how IPv4 worked" does.
IPv4 is complex (e.g. classes, subnets) because there weren't enough
addressing bits.

(People may not be aware, the first IPv4 address structure was a simple
N.H.H.H format. Classes were introduced between RFC760 and RFC791 because
they were going to run out of network numbers and couldn't increase the
size of the IPv4 address.)

Mark.

</div>No, RFC 4291 is agnostic on SLAAC IID length. It refers the reader to=
 whatever IPv6-over-foo RFC, for IID length and formulation. But RFC 4193 (=
ULA) seems more insistent that it must be 64 bits and EUI-64. After all, as=

<br>
What I am saying is that 6man seems to have come to an agreement that SLAAC=
 should be restricted to using 64-bit IIDs.<br>
<br>
This SLAAC restriction is not directly related to RFCs 2464, 4291, or 4862,=
 because these all mandated EUI-64. Still, we seem to want 64-bit IIDs mand=
atory for SLAAC. Why? Because we want 64-bit IIDs to be the &quot;default&q=

Why do you have to mention SLAAC at all here? It will by itself generate 64
bit IIDs based on other link-layer-specific standard track documents,
without necessarily resorting to 4291bis.

4291bis just can leave any more details of IID to SLAAC and other std track
docs.

1) Because it is a fact that SLAAC today uses 64 bit IIDs, and the purpose of
a full Internet Standard is to define precisely the solution that has been
proved to work by widely deployed running code.

2) Because there is no need to define a globally fixed IID length for other
methods of address generation.

(Yes, there is an alternative - to say nothing about the length in 4291bis,
and define it either in a 4862bis or a completely separate document, but
that seems like more work for no gain. The result will be the same whatever
we do: SLAAC will continue to use 64 bit IIDs, and nobody will change a thing
in their software or configurations.)

In theory I agree with that, but we didn't reach consensus on that approa=
ch
when it was proposed some months ago. I'm hoping we can reach rough conse=
nsus
on something, sometime.

This is indeed very regretful. So long as the document is addressing =
=E2=80=98architecture=E2=80=99, addresses (or part thereof) (A) should =
best be described independently of the way (B) they are generated. B =
surely should be subject to A, but not the other way around. The logical =
relation should be unidirectional (A -> B), not looped bidirectional (A =
<-> B).

If the two are bidirectionally looped, the next immediate question =
should be 'which overrides the other?' Now that they are loop-linked, =
none of which, or both are equal=E2=80=A6 confusion,... logical fallacy.

This logical fallacy, I=E2=80=99d think, might be one of the sources of =
reasons for the endless debates on this list in regard to the IID =
length.

It=E2=80=99d be my last intention ever to represent any of the two =
camps, but before any debates I=E2=80=99d hope the group acknowledge =
that the document in this specific part is subject to logical fallacy, =
lacking in logical integrity. Before anything, one might clean up the =
text, fist of all, I=E2=80=99d hope.

The firm reference pole

	RFC7421

along with a number of docs prescribing 64 bits for the IID length

	RFC2464, RFC2467, RFC2470, RFC2497, RFC2590, RFC3146, RFC5072
	(thanks to Tatuya Jinmei for the list)

would be enough to ensure that

	SLAAC will accept only 64-bit long prefixes
		and produce 64-bit long IIDs.

not to disturb the wide deployment of SLAAC implementation as such.

RFC4291bis doesn=E2=80=99t need (or even ought not to, for it's about =
=E2=80=98architecture=E2=80=99) mention or mandate the length of IID, =
leaving such implementation specific details to companion docs like =
those listed above.

Erik,

I think your point is valid, but do you have any suggestions how to move
this forward, other than that ain't it?

I think some version of Brian's suggestion of scoping the requirement for
64 bit IIDs to SLAAC with a recommendation for 64 bit prefixes for subnets
and on-link determination works, what do you think of that?

Thanks.

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6164,
"Using 127-Bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-Router Links".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5080

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: toerless Eckert <tte+ietf@cs.fau.de>

Section: GLOBAL

Original Text
-------------
Request for Comments: 6164
Category: Standards Track

Corrected Text
--------------
Request for Comments: 6164
Category: Standards Track
Updates: RFC4291

Notes
-----
The solution described in RFC6164 updates RFC4291 because it violates the requirement of RFC4291 section 2.5.1 for the IIDs to be 64-bit long and be constructed from EUI-64 format.

Please feel free to reconfirm with 6man WG. In Prague, the suggestion was made that all documents introducing solutions that are not compliant with this requirement must be tracked as updated to RFC6164. When i asked on the list recently, i was given the suggestion to file an Errata as i am doing right now.

Note that i think that i do not think that "just wait for rfc4291bis" would be a good answer to this errata because rfc6164 of course predates it, and even more so, correct proedural tracking of rfc4291 updates can potentially help the process of getting to rfc4291bis.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.

I am wondering if there is some RFC i could reference that defines the following
functionality specifically for IPv6. If not, i'll have to write it into
a draft of mine and would welcome suggestions on some details:

I have a full mesh of p2p tunnels between a set of routers, and i want
to make this look like a single multiaccess subnet for IPv6.  How i
create these tunnels is out of scope (resolved). The tunnels would carry
only IPv6 packets (not ethernet header etc..).

So, a node would enable link-local multicast on this virtual multi-access subnet
by just replicating it to all p2p tunnels. And now we run ND. And wonder
what to put into the link-layer address field. In my case we can assume
the nodes all have the same underlying L2 across which they runn the tunnels,
so as long as this is ethernet and we assume unique MAC addresses, we can just
use them. Otherwise we would need to come up with some other unique link-layer
address. Or we could simply leave this field empty and learn which tunnel
is connected to which IPv6 neighbor address by tracking the p2p tunnel frm
which the Neighbor advertisements arive. Could even be any unicast packets
source-address. Except that it is for a router (not having HW like an L2 switch)
easier to learn source addresses from protocols explicitly punted to a control plane
(like ND).

Existing references i could point to ? 
Sugestions for the detail (link-layer address encoding, learning of neighbor tunnel ?)

IMHO its pretty simple, but wanted to see i am not overlooking anything.

Thanks
    Toerless

There are some I-Ds published on other purpose than this 64 dicussion,
and that could hint at IIDs for SLAAC.

The implementation of a Client forming an address out of a /56 or of /65
could be something like
'tcpdump|grep RA|grep prefix|grep plen
  && ifconfig add prefix::$RANDOM/plen eth0'.

Such mechanism and draft would not break anything.

Hi Toerless,

We have been working with point-to-multipoint tunnels (actually NBMA) for a=
 long
time. The earliest examples were RFC2529 and RFC5214, but we have carried t=
he
model forward into our current AERO proposal:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-aerolink/

Of these proposals:

 - RFC2529 uses multicast-in-multicast encapsulation so that true multicast=
 is used
   in the underlay.
- RFC5214 is unicast-only
- AERO can use either multicast-in-multicast or unicast-emulated multicast =
such
  as your message described.

All of these works use IPv6 ND messaging over tunnels.

Thanks - Fred
fred.l.templin@boeing.com

FYI. I decided to raise an errata against RFC6275 that seems to update 
RFC4861 without this being noted anywhere in either document.

I am still unsure if I also need to raise an errata against RFC4861, but I 
think this single errata would take care of both documents gaining 
updates/updated-by references?

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6275,
"Mobility Support in IPv6".

Section 7.2 of RFC6275 introduces a new flag, called the R bit. This seems to update RFC 4861 section 4.6.2. However, there is no mention in RFC6275 or in RFC4861 that this happened.

Are we able to update the metadata on RFC4861 in response to this errata?
I realize we can't re-issue 6275.

Since the Updates is to make sure that readers of 4861 know about new things,
the metadata 4861->6275 (which shows up in the tools page and datatracker for
the old documents) is really the important direction.

This is a question for the IESG (it's more a question of policy than it 
is tool capability).

I'm pretty sure the question's been asked before (and the discussion led 
to a "no, if you want to fix this, do it with an RFC").

My https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=5080
also only describes that 6164 updates 4861, seems like the
same thing. I am expecting that the metadata update will be
done for both documents. Otherwise there is too much bureaucracy.

Hmm... the way i understood it, this is just missing metadata
linking the two documents. But of course i have no experience
with current practices whether metadata will be fixed or not.

Metadata is a lot more like what i think metadata is if it can
be updated sedparately from the doc. Otherwise its a lot more like data ;-P

I would say it's a question for the RFC Editor, who would ask for advice
from the IESG since these are IETF stream documents. (It's the RFC Editor
who maintains the metatdata for RFCs.)

Hi all,
  I had a short chat with Mikael about this during the Prague IETF. One =
of the major issues I have encountered is that we do not, as a =
community, have a common understanding of what the =E2=80=9CUpdates:=E2=80=
=9D tag means (or even what it is supposed to mean). Until that gets =
resolved, there will be no clear indication on when to mark a document =
as updated and when not to. As for this Erratum, I will hold onto it =
until we have a better idea on how to proceed. As an example another =
document in this category is RFC4191 that I personally think should =
update RFC2461/RFC4861 because of changing the RA flag bits. Similarly, =
should RFC4389 update RFC4861 for the same reason as well?

Thanks
Suresh

THanks for this. First time this was brought up was in november last year, 
when me and Erik Kline were notified that our proposed PIO-X bit was 
overlapping with the R bit.

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg25491.html

I then raised this with the authors of 6275 without getting any meaningful 
response, I have raised it with multiple ADs as well.

I find that the current situation is very dangerous, and it needs to be 
resolved. I don't much care if we fix it by having an IANA registry for 
all fields in everything, or if we fix the updated-by references, or if we 
have "please also read"-reference, or if we just log erratum against RFCs 
that seem to have no updated-by but have more recent documents that change 
bits in them.

SOMETHING needs to happen. I wasn't told that there were things happening, 
that's why I wanted to "force the issue" by issuing an errata.

And by writing the above text, I realise that I agree with that 4861 
probably need to have some kind of "errata" against it as well, becuase 
the important part is that readers of 4861 finds 6275, not the other way 
around.

That's why the RFC Editor needs to update the metadata for both RFCs.

The error is the missing "updates", and that is an error in 6275.

The consequence of validating that error is a change to the metadata
for both RFCs.

There is no error in 4861. There is a gap in its metadata.

(Same situation for https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=3D50=
80)

Exactly!!

I think that the IESG should be able to create new forward references without
publishing new documents.   It should be a relatively cheap operation.

Agreed. Potentially it could be done with a 2 week last call announcement 
so that if anyone disagrees, their voice can be heard.

I ran into it when writing the code to figure out where a given IPv6
address is currently routed to (to be able to install a /128 host=20
route for the VPN Server via "outside interface" when all IPv6 is=20
routed "inside" the VPN).  Since gateways happen to be RA-installed,
I saw fe80:<ifindex>::<hostid> route next-hops...

The code currently uses what FreeBSD route.c used to do:

        struct sockaddr_in6 *s6 =3D (struct sockaddr_in6 *)gate;
        struct in6_addr gw =3D s6->sin6_addr;

        if (gate->sa_len =3D=3D sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)
            && IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL(&gw) )
        {
            gw.s6_addr[2] =3D gw.s6_addr[3] =3D 0;
        }

=2E.. just zero'ing the fields on receive-from-kernel, as we're not=20
using the scope ID directly (we use the interface name, which is
delivered as RTA_IFP in the routing socket response).  I said "used to
do", as FreeBSD changed their interface already, delivering scope_id
and not using s6_addr[2] and [3] any longer (if I remember correctly).


But that's indeed a special case application, talking routing sockets
directly - for us, it would not be a problem if these two fields were
always zero.  Other software talking to the routing socket is likely
aware of the operating system variants and does whatever is needed -
especially since there's differences in the data structures used=20
already today.

I don't think adding a new flag in a "Reserved" field qualifies as =
updating an RFC.
That's what we have IANA registries for.

So where is the IANA registry for the bit fields that RFC4861 
standardises?

Or so say it another way:

If I want to use a new bit field that for instance RFC4861 specifies, how 
am I going to find what other RFCs has touched this, if there is no IANA 
registry (as far as I know there isn't, I can't find one).

Someone (IETF leadership) has to put their foot down and say one of two 
things (or something completely different):

1. If you move reserved bits to in-sure, you update the original RFC that 
defined these bits as reserved. Metadata is added to the original RFC so 
this can be found.

2. There must be IANA registries for all bit fields, and if you change 
reserved bits to in-use, this must be reflected in the IANA registry.

The way we do things now by not having IANA registries and not updating 
RFCs when changing reserved bits to in-use is extremely prone to mistakes. 
We missed this completely when we wrote PIO-X and it was caught because 
someone happened to notice it and who was into MIPv6.

Or what am I missing?

The closest thing I can find:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmpv6-parameters/icmpv6-parameters.xhtml#icmpv6-parameters-5

3	Prefix Information	[RFC4861]

If RFC6275 was listed there, then at least there would be a better chance 
of finding it. So is that the errata that should have been filed instead, 
that 6275 didn't send an IANA request to add it to the above item, and 
that this should now be sent?

As far as I can see you are correct.

The resolution I would prefer in this case would be that you wrote a =
draft instructing IANA to create the new PIO flags registry.

Good idea. But Mikael does have a point: changing a "reserved" field (which is typically
also specified as MBZ) to an assigned status is a substantive change to the RFC that
reserved it.

I wish we'd noted that in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6709#section-4.2

A reserved field is there for forward extensibility...
How can using that extensibility (which as you state is specified as MBZ =
specifically to be forward compatible) be a substantive change to the =
RFC that reserved it??

Thanks for the pointer. That section looked good to me.

Because the reserved bits are no longer reserved if another RFC now says 
they're used for something.

So for this I-D you wanted me to write. Is the request to IANA to go over 
4861 and create registries for all bit fields? What other RFCs should we 
include in this request?

Because if someone (I don't know who, IETF leadership?) has decided that 
"taking" bits is not an substantitive change to an RFC and that there 
should be no metadata updates when reserved bits are "taken", then the 
IANA registry is crucial for all bit fields, not just the PIO bits I was 
talking about here.

with regards to change. I think the point here is that an implementor of =
4861 doesn't need to know about 6275 to implement 4861.

I agree that an implementor of 4861 does not, technically, need to know 
about 6275.

The more interesting problem, in the absence of a registry or updated-by 
flag, is how someone proposing to use one of the reserved bits in 4861 
is supposed to know which bits are available?

Yours,
Joel

And how does a person *maintaining* an existing implementation of 4861
know that something has changed, so their code might be out of date?

This is quite similar to one problem we tried to deal with in RFC 7045.
How do product maintainers know that a new extension header has been
standardised? In some ideal world, one could sign up to get a warning
whenever something changes in specified IANA registries.

This problem is much wider than IPv6, of course.

Well we just poll the registries we are worried about daily and if
there is a change we generate a email message.  There are not a lot
of companies in the world that look at these registries.

Hi Mikael,
  I understand and agree with your point and I made the same point about =
11 years ago regarding RA flags :-)

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg06561.html =20

Quoting from there=20

"In a slightly related note, I feel that any document which is assigned =
one of these flags MUST be indicated as updating the ND specification =
(RFC2461/RFC2461bis). If this is not done it is highly likely people =
would assume that those bits are unallocated. e.g. RFC3775, RFC4191 and =
RFC4389 use these flag bits but do not update RFC2461. So a new draft =
author may wrongly assume the bit to be available for use. I saw a =
presentation in the 16ng meeting where the authors were trying to reuse =
the MIPv6 Home agent bit for their proposal.=E2=80=9D

To be very frank, we have usually identified these issues whenever =
people wanted to extend these fields, and (thankfully) have not run into =
an actual conflict. I do think this is a problem that is wider in scope =
than 6man and we need to solve it in a systematic manner. I think the =
first step would be to have a common understanding of what an Update: is =
supposed to signify and get community consensus on that so that we can =
apply these rules in a consistent manner. I have now volunteered to help =
out on a document in this space.

Thanks
Suresh

But is this really a valid reason? Wouldn't it potentially be better for 
an 4861 implementation to at least be aware of the R flag, potentially? Is 
the implementor better kept in the dark about this, than to have to spend 
a minute to see if some aspect of RFC6275 might apply to it?

That's the point. The 4861 implementation is not out of date. Not by =
6275 nor by PIO-X.
If a 4861 implementation was required to change then an update would =
have been appropriate.

Cheers,

Mikael,

>> with regards to change. I think the point here is that an implementor =
of 4861 doesn't need to know about 6275 to implement 4861.
>=20
> But is this really a valid reason? Wouldn't it potentially be better =
for an 4861 implementation to at least be aware of the R flag, =
potentially? Is the implementor better kept in the dark about this, than =
to have to spend a minute to see if some aspect of RFC6275 might apply =
to it?

If an 4861 implementation is not affected by the other specification =
(6275) then I think using update is wrong.
(I don't think you should make too many assumptions about the level of =
darkness that implementors live in...)

Cheers,
Ole

I still think there should be some kind of forward reference to the 
document that has assigned or changed bits. If we can't use updated-by, 
then we need to invent some other kind of reference.

The way things are right now, things will be missed and there will be 
multiple uses of the same information. I'm surprised this hasn't happened 
more often. I especially think the risk will increase as more of the 
people who have been here a long time goes into retirement and their 
first-hand knowledge isn't available anymore.

I don't think that works.
Think of RFC3315 as an example. Should it have a forward reference to =
every DHCP option?

That's what an IANA registry is for.

Don't assume implementors are idiots. The reason why they don't do what =
you want are typically not because of lack of intelligence or reading =
skills. ;-)

Hi Ole,

>> I still think there should be some kind of forward reference to the =
document that has assigned or changed bits. If we can't use updated-by, =
then we need to invent some other kind of reference.

every DHCP option?

I think there is a difference here between adding new options (where =
there is a clear expectation of new options being developed and the =
original RFC pointing to the registry) and using a reserved bit-field =
(which changes the meaning of an existing bit from "doesn't mean =
anything (yet)" to "means X").

>> The way things are right now, things will be missed and there will be =
multiple uses of the same information. I'm surprised this hasn't =
happened more often. I especially think the risk will increase as more =

their first-hand knowledge isn't available anymore.
>=20
> That's what an IANA registry is for.

For options: yes. For bit fields: an IANA registry is not where I would =
look for possible changes to each and every field.

> Don't assume implementors are idiots. The reason why they don't do =

reading skills. ;-)

As an implementor I have been confused about the meaning of bits with =
only Google to help in finding what it means. My personal preference =
would be to have an updated-by references for such changes. I agree that =
this isn't feasible for option codes and things like that because of the =
possibly huge number of options, but for updates to fields I think it is =
the right place.

Cheers,
Sander

I've never assumed implementors are idiots. It seems to me that you're the 
one treating them as idiots, in that they can't handle an updated-by 
reference.

My problem is that from a document writer perspective, me and Erik sat 
there and was looking for a reserved bit field to put a flag. We looked at 
4861, saw no relevant updated-by documents, and chose one of the reserved 
bits.

I still don't see what we could have done better as a document writer. Yet 
here we are, 10 months after I initially brought this up, and the IANA 
registry still doesn't list 6275 for the PIO option, we still have no 
updated-by references or anything.

This is going nowhere really slowly.

Does that make sense?

The obviously bad thing is to allocate a bit in an RFC and not telling anyone
about that beyond publishing the RFC.

So there seem two ways around that:
1) the RFC that allocates the bit explictly updates the RFC that introduced the
field. Of course this requires the rfc editor to accuratly track this.
2) the RFC that introduces the field opens an IANA registry for the field.

When reading RFCs, those two seem roughly equivalent. If you read an RFC and
it is updated by a few other RFC, you need to quickly skim those to see if
they are relevant. If an RFC introduces an IANA registry then a quick check
at IANA is in order.

Of course it doesn't make sense to open lots of IANA registries on the off
chance that some future RFC will need to allocate a bit. Likewise, it doesn't
make sense to have an RFC that is updated by dozens of other RFCs just to
allocate some bits. 

Given the relatively high overhead of publishing an RFC that introduces an IANA
registry for RFC 4861, it may make sense to just mark RFC 4861 as updated.

I don't think that is necessary for MBZ fields.

Hi,

>> Does that make sense?
>=20
> I don't think that is necessary for MBZ fields.
>=20
> Reserved       This field is unused.  It MUST be initialized to zero by th=
e sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

That confirms the "updated-by" is necessary. With the definition of the new f=
lags that "MUST" is overruled, and implementations are allowed to put a non-=
zero value in it :)

Cheers,
Sander

Hi,

>> That confirms the "updated-by" is necessary. With the definition of =
the new flags that "MUST" is overruled, and implementations are allowed =
to put a non-zero value in it :)
>=20
> Quite the contrary. ;-)

Sorry, but I strongly disagree.

Look for example at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-4.2. It =
explicitly states:

>       Reserved       A 6-bit unused field.  It MUST be initialized to
>                      zero by the sender and MUST be ignored by the
>                      receiver.

This text is simply not accurate anymore after =
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6275#section-7.1, which explicitly is =
titled "Modified Router Advertisement Message Format":

>    Home Agent (H)
>=20
>       The Home Agent (H) bit is set in a Router Advertisement to
>       indicate that the router sending this Router Advertisement is =
also
>       functioning as a Mobile IPv6 home agent on this link.
>=20
>    Reserved
>=20
>       Reduced from a 6-bit field to a 5-bit field to account for the
>       addition of the above bit.

If that isn't an update to rfc4861 then I don't know what would be...

Cheers,
Sander

An update to 4861 would be something that would affect the implementor =
of 4861 and changes that could be incorporated if 4861 would be updated. =
that's not at all 6275. 6275 can be completely ignored from a 4861 =
perspective, unless you chose to implement 6275.

Perfect, as long as it's clear where to find such information in the =
original RFC. If the author wrote explicit text on where to document =
changes (IANA registry) then that should be used. If no explicit place =
has been defined then all changes should be considered updates to the =
original RFC so that implementors can find them.

Agree. In the worst case the author of the original RFC didn't =
anticipate the large number of bit/codepoint/etc allocations, and a new =
RFC can update the original and introduce an IANA registry.

> Given the relatively high overhead of publishing an RFC that =
introduces an IANA

updated.

I think this would be the appropriate choice in this case. Other cases =
might warrant a different choice though. I can see Ole's point for =
certain cases, just not this specific one :)

Cheers,
Sander

6275 overrides text in 4861, it's as simple as that. If you only =

implementations like protocol analysers, security devices etc then it =

Then we need new meta tags.

Either there needs to be a "bitfield-updated-by" metatag to handle this 
usecase, or there needs to be an 
"IANA-registry-now-for-bitfields-mentioned-in-this-RFC" metatag, or both.

Having no mention what so ever that reserved bits are no longer reserved 
is just... I don't know, I just can't graps why you think it's ok for 4861 
to have no mention what so ever that some reserved bits are no longer 
reserved and that the MUST for them to be ZERO no longer applies.

The point is that it deserves an "Updates".
Someone reason 4861 should be directed to read the update so that they see
why the reserved bits might not be zero anymore.  It might be functionality
that they actually want to implement.  Or not.


("MBZ" is the wrong sense, because it "security" devices get it wrong.
Must send as zero and ignore upon receipt is the functionality that we want.
I wish that our compliance testing suites actually checked that these
reserved fields are ignored properly)

+1.
I don't care how we cause the forward references to be created, but they need
to be created.  Updates: is appropriate.  6275 may not FORCE an 4861
implementation to change, but a 4861 implementation might WANT to change.

I looked thru the IPv6 Ready Logo Test Specification for this, we test this
for NAs and NSs but not RSs/RAs.   I've filed a bug to update the Test
Specification to check this in the next release.

Great takeaway from this discussion. I have personally run into problems 
with an implementation that did not ignore MBZ bits but instead required 
them to be 0. Since the sender of the packet had a bug and didn't zero 
them, this caused things not to work.

The sender of the packet which didn't zero the bits immediately understood 
what the problem was and offered to correct things, however the vendor of 
the device that didn't ignore the bits took a lot longer to convince that 
they were doing something wrong.

This was OSPFv3 and it had a 24 bit field in there with the remaining 8 
bits being MBZ and ignored. The vendor put this into a 32 bit field and 
compared meaning that when the other end messed up their zeroing the 
reserved bits, the compare failed. I'd imagine this is not too uncommon 
problem.

It's not just the protocol implementers that get this wrong.  Firewall
vendors also get this wrong by blocking packets with reserved bits
set.  It then takes years longer to deploy extensions that use the
reserved bits.

Absolutely. PIX killed ECN for many years.

We have a long tradition of misidentifying bits in packets that really =
are extension points.

=E2=80=9CReserved=E2=80=9D is only marginally better than =E2=80=9CMBZ=E2=80=
=9D (which turns untrue with the next extension using them); both signal =
to the implementer =E2=80=9CI don=E2=80=99t have to think about these =
fields=E2=80=9D.

To avoid those misconceptions coming up with the readers of specs, in =
box notation, I like to mark those bits available as extension points =
with an underscore (see Figure 5 of RFC 7400):

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7400#section-3.3

This does make people wonder, and maybe readers then go ahead and read =
what is actually said about these bits.

Yes.  Having worked on rfc3315bis, that would have been a great thing to
have. Did we need to merge them all into 3315bis?  No, but we did need to
look at them to see if they used some feature.  Maybe we could have removed
some unused feature from 3315 because it was never used.

Implementors generally work for idiots called "Product Marketing"

Since RFC4861, or it's predecessors, didn't create a registry for the flags
in question, it (RFC4861) is the primary and best source for the definition
of those flags. If and only if, the authors of RFC4861 had created a
registry for the flags would such a registry become the primary source
instead.  Since RFC4861 is the primary source, the subsequent creation of
such a registry would need to at least be update to RFC4861 as well.
Finally, RFCs and their metadata, serve more than just implementers, they
may be the primary intended audience, but there are many secondary
audiences, operators, developers of other (future) standards, students,
etc...  A change in these flags may or may not be relevant to an
implementer of RFC4861, but it could be of critical importance to these
other audiences, and as the primary source for the meaning of those flags,
it seems quite appropriate for any and all changes in the meaning of those
flags to be an update to RFC4861.

Thanks.

Sorry to repeat myself, but that's exactly the point we made in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6709#section-4.2
In other words, it's a quite general problem, and an excellent area
for test suites to exercise.

And IMNSHO it clearly shows why we need an "updates" for such cases, as
well as an IANA registry. Implementers make mistakes, and we should use
every tool we have to make this less likely.

Right. So either way, 4861 has errata.
Either it's missing a registry, or it's missing a forward reference :-)

I suggest the following policy, and maybe I'm signing up to write a BCP here.

a) Reserved, (Send as zero, do not examine on receive) fields are simply
   noted as they are now.

b) The first document to do anything with that Reserved area, if it's creating
   new bits, or putting some new field there, Updates the original document,
   and creates the IANA Registry.

c) Additional documents cite the Registry rather that Updates.

Ole, could you get on board with that?

If you think that is what =E2=80=9CReserved=E2=80=9D means, more power =
to you, but a rather common understanding of =E2=80=9CReserved=E2=80=9D =
is =E2=80=9CWe may define those bits later=E2=80=9D, with the implied =
conclusion that a receiving implementation simply gives up and croaks =
when finding a reserved bit set.

So don=E2=80=99t use the term =E2=80=9Creserved=E2=80=9D without =
qualification (or, better, not at all).

> fields are simply

Having these =E2=80=9Ccould be used later for extension points=E2=80=9D =
bits in a protocol is fine, even without a registry, because you cannot =
define the registry if you don=E2=80=99t know what the structure of =
these bits is going to be.

> b) The first document to do anything with that Reserved area, if it's =

Well, any document that starts eating bits for extension points needs to =
do that.
The registry created for the first document that comes up may not be the =
right one for the second document.

(The bug here was that 4861 should have foreseen that these bits were =
going to be allocated.
So here, the first document would indeed simply repair that defect.
But that is not true in the general case where you have scattered random =
unused bits in your packet.)

> c) Additional documents cite the Registry rather that Updates.

Right.  Once you have the right structure for the registries.

You said host and not router. Assuming that the prefix length is the same f=
or the intended destination of the packet and for the host that received th=
e packet, so the packet is not misrouted, then this sounds like what you'd =
frequently expect to see in older Ethernets, either coax Ethernets or half =

e packet? The MAC address should not have matched. Was it a ND failure scen=

(In general, I don't see why a host should send host unreachable ICMP messa=
ges.)

Yes - assume that the prefix 2001:db8::/64 is assigned to the incoming inte=
rface.

I am assuming that the bogus packet uses a correct MAC destination address
but with an incorrect IPv6 destination address. So, the packet gets handed
up to the IPv6 layer.

Drop silent would make sense to me, too - but do others think an ICMP
should be generated?

2001:db8::f00

Hmm, at face value it appears to be a simple question and the answer
would be DU.

Looking at RFC4443, it limits generation of DUs to routers or the
packet source host:

"A Destination Unreachable message SHOULD be generated by a router, or
   by the IPv6 layer in the originating node, in response to a packet
   that cannot be delivered to its destination address for reasons other
   than congestion.  (An ICMPv6 message MUST NOT be generated if a
   packet is dropped due to congestion.)A Destination Unreachable
message SHOULD be generated by a router, or
   by the IPv6 layer in the originating node, in response to a packet
   that cannot be delivered to its destination address for reasons other
   than congestion.  (An ICMPv6 message MUST NOT be generated if a
   packet is dropped due to congestion.)"


Per RFC8200 (a.k.a. new RFC2460), we have these definitions for a
router and a host

   router       a node that forwards IPv6 packets not explicitly
                addressed to itself.  (See Note below.)

   host         any node that is not a router.  (See Note below.)



A host is therefore to ignore "IPv6 packets not explicitly addressed
to itself", which I think means a host does not generate a DU for
misdirected packets.


I was wondering about how this could happen and I think there could be
two possible causes,

- incorrect ND cache entry for 2001:db8::baa2001:db8::baa, somehow
with the link layer address of 2001:db8::f00

- host attached to one end of a point-to-point link, and the upstream
device (likely router) is blindly forwarding packets over the p2p link
assuming the destination is at the other end rather than performing ND
to discover and continue to verify the presence of the specific
addresses at the other end of the link (That's why I think ND should
be performed on p2p links. Even a /127 configured on one end of the
link doesn't guarantee the other address within the /127 is present.
If a router performed ND on p2p links, it could discover the DA for a
packet is not present and generate a DU for it.)

Regards,
Mark.

Or maybe there's another more or less legitimate reason, Fred. Ethernet in =
promiscuous mode. In which case, it's working as intended. Still, like Mark=
 showed aptly, a destination host wouldn't be sending host unreachable ICMP=
 messages.

You can induce this trivially with a /128 host route to 2001:db8::baa
via 2001:db8::f00 (or via its LL address).

I just tested this on a Windows machine, with the innocent victim being 
a Linux machine. TL;DR: The result was silent discard.

Here's what happens in detail. I slightly obscured the GUA prefix:

1. No route installed, just sending a bogus ping:

C:\windows\system32>ping 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00

Pinging 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00 with 32 bytes of data:
Destination host unreachable.

(In this case there was a failed Neighbor Discovery, of course.)

2. Install a host route via the GUA of the target:

C:\windows\system32>route add 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00/128 2406:e007:59ce:1:5967:affa:3750:b289
 OK!

C:\windows\system32>ping 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00

Pinging 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

3. Replace that with a host route via the LLA of the target:

C:\windows\system32>route delete 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00/128 2406:e007:59ce:1:5967:affa:3750:b289
 OK!

C:\windows\system32>route add 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00/128 fe80::9051:543a:4c9e:e93e
 OK!

C:\windows\system32>ping 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00

Pinging 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I checked with WireShark, and the ICMP Echo Request messages were definitely
sent to 2406:e007:59ce:1::f00 at the MAC address of the host known as
2406:e007:59ce:1:5967:affa:3750:b289 or fe80::9051:543a:4c9e:e93e, and
there were no reply packets.
