Well, the original Link 11 setup was what we'd today call a broadcast ring LAN.

Vintage mid-1950s.  Each participating unit took a number and each 
would send it's queue of track reports, followed by a token that was 
the cue for the next participating unit to send.  The problem was 
that if any member of the ring missed the cue, not only did that 
participating unit not send, but the whole network crashed.  This is 
not a Good Thing when you're under air attack.

Upon discovery of this behavior, Link 11 was changed to a polled 
broadcast network.  A network controller cues each participating unit 
in turn.  If a unit misses two polls, the controller gives up in 
disgust and goes on to the next unit.  This made the system much more 
robust against random receive failures, at the price of introduction 
of a single point of failure (the controller).  This weakness, in 
turn, was offset by designation of a backup network controller.

problem was that if any member of the ring missed the cue, not only
did that participating unit not send, but the whole network crashed.&nbsp;
This is not a Good Thing when you're under air attack. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Upon discovery of this behavior, Link 11 was changed to a polled
broadcast network.&nbsp; A network controller cues each participating
unit in turn.&nbsp; If a unit misses two polls, the controller gives
up in disgust and goes on to the next unit.&nbsp; This made the system
much more robust against random receive failures, at the price of
introduction of a single point of failure (the controller).&nbsp; This
weakness, in turn, was offset by designation of a backup network
controller. </div>

Hi,

this is a call for everybody who is dealing with ad-hoc-routing protocols and 
OMNeT++.
I, for myself, think it is difficult to proper evaluate an algorithmen without 
comparisons to as much as possible.  ;-)
So, it would be nice to have a testbed in which every algorithmen could 
compete (somehow similar to "Corewars" if somebody remembers).

So,, hmm, what I want to say ,,,... I am working with such a kind of testbed, 
developed at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. It makes it possible to 
integrate every kind of routing prortocol (either proactive and reactive). 
At the moment FSR and TORA were implemented there. 

So to my points:

- OMNeT++ is freely availabe
- our framework as well
- there are protocols imlplemented, which showed, pro- or reactive ones could   
easily be integrated

--> more to come ????

I would be happy to hear from everybody, willing to compete !!!!  

Regards and ad-hoc

Frank Dinies

Hi Jaehoon,

I don't know whether the two IPv6 implementations are publically
available.  To my knowledge they are not.  However, the two developers
of those implementations are on this list, so if the implementations
are available I'm sure they will let you know.

I have heard of people implementing MAODV, but I have not yet heard
of any completed implementations.  Does anyone out there have one?

There are three available AODVv4 implementations on the AODV webpage
(http://moment.cs.ucsb.edu/AODV/aodv.html).  One more will be released
very soon.

Elizabeth

Hello,

I promised I'd come back with more comments.  Some are just my thoughts I 
tried to scribble down when reading the draft.  Hope they help..


- I'm a bit unsure what happens if a packet which has a DSR header but 
also has piggybacked data is in send/maintenance queue.  Is this possible?  
These could in some cases perhaps lead to data being delivered more than 
once to the destination.

- I didn't get a good picture which DSR options can be seen in the same 
DSR header and which not.  Also, as sections in chapter 5 list what IP 
header fields would look like when there are multiple options in a packet, 
the multi-option combinations seem to be less covered than their full 
counterparts.

Some comments based on the text.


1. Introduction

[...] Each data packet sent then carries in its header the
   complete, ordered list of nodes through which the packet will pass,
   allowing packet routing to be trivially loop-free and avoiding the 
   need for up-to-date routing information in the intermediate nodes  
   through which the packet is forwarded. [...]

==> the need for up-to-date information may not necessarily be a bad 
thing.  Now the sources are in charge of that.  Moreover, the sources are 
also in charge of the whole network, as their source routes will be cached 
and used for other communications.

This is quite effective, but can be very dangerous in case of e.g.  
implementation bugs, unforeseen problems (e.g. a source getting out of
sync, and "competing with the cache" with the rest of manet nodes) and
such: one node can pretty much wreck the whole routing fabric without even
trying hard.

[...]  For
   example, DSR does not use any periodic routing advertisement, link
   status sensing, or neighbor detection packets, and does not rely on  
   these functions from any underlying protocols in the network.  This
   entirely on-demand behavior and lack of periodic activity allows
   the number of overhead packets caused by DSR to scale all the way
   down to zero, [...]

==> I see DSR header functions rather equivalent to link status sensing 
(maintenance procedures, Send Queue, etc.) and others above.

   In response to a single Route Discovery (as well as through routing
   information from other packets overheard), a node may learn and cache
   multiple routes to any destination.

==> just a trivial comment: cache management strategies will be quite 
critical.

3.1. Basic DSR Route Discovery

   Node E could instead simply reverse the sequence of hops in the route
   record that it is trying to send in the Route Reply, and use this as 
   the source route on the packet carrying the Route Reply itself.  For 
   MAC protocols such as IEEE 802.11 that require a bidirectional frame 
   exchange as part of the MAC protocol [11], the discovered source
   route MUST be reversed in this way to return the Route Reply since it
   tests the discovered route to ensure it is bidirectional before the  
   Route Discovery initiator begins using the route; this route reversal
   also avoids the overhead of a possible second Route Discovery.

==> This (and various other places in the text, e.g. Appendix A) assumes 
that the link-layer technology, at least from the point of view of 
directionality, must be the same all over the manet, or at least all manet 
nodes know the directionality of each device.

This seems a rather big aasumption.

   When initiating a Route Discovery, the sending node saves a copy of  
   the original packet (that triggered the Discovery) in a local buffer 
   called the "Send Buffer".

==> might this create extra delays in the case of Route Discoveries 
failing too (e.g. link failure, no manet nodes/AP's temporarily in range, 
...) ?

4.1. Route Cache

    -  In DSR, the route returned in each Route Reply that is received
	by the initiator of a Route Discovery (or that is learned from
	the header of overhead packets, as described in Section 6.1.4)
       represents a complete path (a sequence of links) leading to the  
 	destination node.  By caching each of these paths separately,
       a "path cache" organization for the Route Cache can be formed.   
	A path cache is very simple to implement and easily guarantees
	that all routes are loop-free, since each individual route from
       a Route Reply or Route Request or used in a packet is loop-free.
   
==> as pointed above, this puts quite much trust on the sender's cache 
data/cache being up-to-date.  A normal security procedure would be to 
verify received loop-freeness, but here normal security procedures might 
not apply...

5. DSR Header Format

   To add a DSR header to a packet, the DSR header is inserted following
   the packet's IP header, before any following header such as a
   traditional (e.g., TCP or UDP) transport layer header.  Specifically,
   the Protocol field in the IP header is used to indicate that a DSR
   header follows the IP header, and the Next Header field in the DSR
   header is used to indicate the type of protocol header (such as a
   transport layer header) following the DSR header.

==> this has strong implications if packet filtering is perfomed.  First, 
almost all packets will be discarded unless the packet filter/firewall 
supports DSR header processing and has some extra semantics on how to 
proceed past the first, DSR header.  This is similar to issues associated 
with IPv6 packet filtering..

6.2.2. Processing a Received Route Request Option

- [...]  If the node does
       not receive a Reply within some reasonable amount of time, MUST
	silently discard the Route Request packet.

==> perhaps this should be defined more precisely?

	o  If the node does not return a cached Route Reply, then this
           node SHOULD link-layer re-broadcast this copy of the packet,
           with a short jitter delay before the broadcast is sent.  The
           jitter period SHOULD be chosen as a random period, uniformly
           distributed between 0 and BroadcastJitter.

==> is it required that all possible media should support link-layer 
broadcasts?

6.3.6. Salvaging a Packet

   When an intermediate node forwarding a packet detects through Route  
   Maintenance that the next-hop link along the route for that packet is
   broken (Section 6.3), if the node has another route to the packet's  
   IP Destination Address in its Route Cache, the node SHOULD "salvage"
   the packet rather than discarding it.

==> s/discarding/discard/ ?

11. Security Considerations

==> nodes feeding wrong (out-of-date) information, acting by their best
knowledge?

hi everybody

I will take some research about compatibilty between IP stack and Ad Hoc
routing protocol and hope to find response to my question. when I study
manet routing protocol I find them uncompatible with IP stack (please
correct me if I am wrong), if we want to deply such protocols what's the
proposed solution

Minutes
-------

1. Agenda bashing

2. Charlie Perkins presented AODV EXPERIMENTAL submission progress:

 - Changes since draft 09 (current draft version is 10)
 - New version of draft will be released before April which will 
   incorporate late last call comments from Yih-Chun Hu, Manuel Zapata
   and input from the Routing ADs Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin.
-  AODV interoperability testing at UC Santa Barbara is taking place
   next week using seven different implementations of AODV.
-  AODV workshop after Mobihoc 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland.  The 
   workshop is intended to "provide vision for the future evolution of
   AODV".

3. Yih-Chun Hu presented updates to the DSR draft (version 7)

 - Added black lists to enable routing in the presence of 
   unidirectional links.
 - Added multiple interface support.
 - Specified fragmentation and reassembly for DSR based on existing
   standards.
 - Still to do: 
	* Integrating Route Requests and Route Replies for CIDR blocks.
      * Would like to add the DSR flow state mechanism as an option to
        the DSR draft.
      * Applicability statement (up to 100 nodes; mobility up to 15 
        seconds per transmission radius). 

Discussion with the WG chairs regarding authors' desire to add flow
state back into the DSR draft.  QoS was removed from the flow state draft at the 
request of the WG chairs.  The DSR authors suggested that flow state be included 
in DSR before DSR goes through WG last call.  The WG Chairs suggested soliciting 
opinions from the mailing list on this issue before making a decision.

4. Richard Ogier presented an update to the TBRPF draft including the following:

   - Overview of TBRPF.
   - Changes from version 03 to version 05
   - IPR Issues Raised:
        * Only protects SRI if TBRPF does not become an IETF standard.
        * If TBRPF (or any part of it) becomes a standard, anyone can
          use it for any purpose for free.
        * SRI will give licenses to people who would like to implement 
 	    TBRPF before it becomes an IETF standard.
 
Related to IPRs, a question was raised regarding IETF action on
investigating potential AODV related IPR.  The WG chair replied that 
(Bradner/Coya) had previously been consulted on process and appropriate IETF 
action was taken by Coya (IBM was contacted) based upon input from the WG 
chairs.

  - Clarification of the advantages of modular neighbor sensing.
  - Overview of TBRPF routing.
  - Some perceived drawbacks of using OLSR MPRs were presented.

A comment was raised that the presentation of MPR disadvantages was misleading, 
because it discussed only a partial topology mode application of MPRs where 
several implementors have applied MPRs in a more flexible manner, including full 
topology modes.  Also, it was noted that MPR advantages were not mentioned to 
balance out the arguments presented.

A TBRPF document review by the WG chair suggested that OLSR references and 
references to non-static documents be avoided/removed from the TBRPF 
specification.  There were numerous cross references and comparisons that were 
seen as not appropriate for a specification document.

  - Potential advantages of using differential topology updates were
    presented
  - It was pointed at that there was no link-layer notification OLSR 
    implementation from INRIA yet

In response, Joe Macker mentioned that NRL has an independently developed an ns-
2 OLSR v4 implementation that includes link-layer notification.

  - Support for multiple interfaces was recently added
  - IPv6 operation is discussed

Joe Macker raised the question of whether declaring a link down as a result of a 
single link layer failure notifications in TBRPF and other protocols is a good 
idea. He suggested that this is a drastic measure given that time varying 
effects may cause such failure but is not an indication that the link is 
actually down.  To minimize route flapping, etc further filtering on such 
signals was suggested.

  - The TBRPF flooding mechanism was reviewed

  - Simulation of OLSR and TBRPF: still trying to determine why 
    different performance results are reported by different groups 
    using the same code

  - TBRPF ns-2 and linux code is available from the SRI website.

Thomas Clausen pointed out that his comments on the complexity of the TBRPF 
draft were made regarding the draft's readability rather than the complexity of 
the protocol itself.

5. Thomas Clausen presented updates to the OLSR draft

  - The OLSR draft is stable and mature: no core changes since version
    00.
  - Updates from version 05 to version 06: no major changes
  - OLSR overview
  - Neighborhood management
  - Support for multiple interfaces
  - Generalized and discussed MPR heuristics
  - Graphs showing OLSR simulation results for MPR coverage for 50 and
    100 nodes for the MPR mechanism in the 05 draft and the improved
    MPR mechanism which includes the new heuristics described in the 06 
    draft.
  - Fast rerouting with link-layer notification described
  
Joe Macker raised the issue that the OLSR draft does not specify how packet 
duplicate detection is performed in the presence of packet aggregation. Thomas 
Clausen responded that possible implementations of duplicate detection in the 
context of packet aggregation will be discussed in future versions of the OLSR 
draft.

6. Fred Baker presented: OSPF v3 as a Manet Routing Protocol
  
  - Commercial manet protocols: what is important in the market place? 
	* application-specific protocols may be of interest
      * ease of deployment is key
  - Issues with OSPF v2  
  - OSPF v3 was presented as a better potential framework for
    implementing a set of manet extensions
  - A Manet interface type was discussed and related implications to
    an OSPF extension
  - A number of approaches and scenarios relating to inter-Area   
    mobility were presented as well

Fred Templin raised the question of whether there will be too many prefixes to 
keep track of. Fred answered that this shouldn't be a big problem as the number 
of prefixes will not be too large.

Dave Johnson pointed out that the concept of areas has been considered 
before in an ISPAN '99 paper published by the Rice/CMU Monarch project.  
Movement between areas is accomplished through Mobile IP.  This mechanism has 
also been implemented and tested in a DSR testbed.

  - A link state metric equation was presented	

    Richard Ogier suggested that path length should be included in the
    metric.  Fred Baker agreed.

  - Installing IPv4 routes (OSPF v3 is an IPv6 protocol)

The WG chair clarified that Fred Baker is not suggesting a replacement for the 
current proactive MANET protocol proposals, but that his proposal has likely 
application for a number of envisioned scenarios.

Charlie Perkins argued that areas may not be applicable to all ad hoc network 
environments and to protocols advocating an on-demand approach to routing.

A question is raised about whether OSPFv3 handles partitions.  Fred Baker 
answered that it can be done but not easily.

7. Fred Templin presented ICMP redirect issues in MANET

8. Announcements and General WG discussion

Yih-Chun Hu reported that a new implementation of DSR on Windows CE 
from the University of Dublin is now available.  A new implementation
of DSR under linux is also available.  Contact yihchun@cs.cmu.edu for
more information. 

Joe Macker announced that NRL has made available the OLSR Linux implementation 
with NRL modifications (this code is based upon INRIA v3 code).  It has been 
applied in live testbeds with 10-20 mobile nodes.  There is also a v4 based ns2 
model which is being released.  This model includes several optional modes 
including link layer notification and a full topology mode.  The project 
releases can be found at <http://pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil>.

Dave Johnson advertised Mobihoc 2002 to be held in the summer of 2002 in 
Lausanne, Switzerland.

        the DSR draft.
      * Applicability statement (up to 100 nodes; mobility up to 15 
        seconds per transmission radius). 

Discussion with the WG chairs regarding authors' desire to add flow
state back into the DSR draft.  QoS was removed from the flow state draft at the 
request of the WG chairs.  The DSR authors suggested that flow state be included 
in DSR before DSR goes through WG last call.  The WG Chairs suggested soliciting 
opinions from the mailing list on this issue before making a decision.

4. Richard Ogier presented an update to the TBRPF draft including the following:

   - Overview of TBRPF.
   - Changes from version 03 to version 05
   - IPR Issues Raised:
        * Only protects SRI if TBRPF does not become an IETF standard.
        * If TBRPF (or any part of it) becomes a standard, anyone can
          use it for any purpose for free.
        * SRI will give licenses to people who would like to implement 
 	    TBRPF before it becomes an IETF standard.
 
Related to IPRs, a question was raised regarding IETF action on
investigating potential AODV related IPR.  The WG chair replied that 
(Bradner/Coya) had previously been consulted on process and appropriate IETF 
action was taken by Coya (IBM was contacted) based upon input from the WG 
chairs.

  - Clarification of the advantages of modular neighbor sensing.
  - Overview of TBRPF routing.
  - Some perceived drawbacks of using OLSR MPRs were presented.

A comment was raised that the presentation of MPR disadvantages was misleading, 
because it discussed only a partial topology mode application of MPRs where 
several implementors have applied MPRs in a more flexible manner, including full 
topology modes.  Also, it was noted that MPR advantages were not mentioned to 
balance out the arguments presented.

A TBRPF document review by the WG chair suggested that OLSR references and 
references to non-static documents be avoided/removed from the TBRPF 
specification.  There were numerous cross references and comparisons that were 
seen as not appropriate for a specification document.

  - Potential advantages of using differential topology updates were
    presented
  - It was pointed at that there was no link-layer notification OLSR 
    implementation from INRIA yet

In response, Joe Macker mentioned that NRL has an independently developed an ns-
2 OLSR v4 implementation that includes link-layer notification.

  - Support for multiple interfaces was recently added
  - IPv6 operation is discussed

Joe Macker raised the question of whether declaring a link down as a result of a 
single link layer failure notifications in TBRPF and other protocols is a good 
idea. He suggested that this is a drastic measure given that time varying 
effects may cause such failure but is not an indication that the link is 
actually down.  To minimize route flapping, etc further filtering on such 
signals was suggested.

  - The TBRPF flooding mechanism was reviewed

  - Simulation of OLSR and TBRPF: still trying to determine why 
    different performance results are reported by different groups 
    using the same code

  - TBRPF ns-2 and linux code is available from the SRI website.

Thomas Clausen pointed out that his comments on the complexity of the TBRPF 
draft were made regarding the draft's readability rather than the complexity of 
the protocol itself.

5. Thomas Clausen presented updates to the OLSR draft

  - The OLSR draft is stable and mature: no core changes since version
    00.
  - Updates from version 05 to version 06: no major changes
  - OLSR overview
  - Neighborhood management
  - Support for multiple interfaces
  - Generalized and discussed MPR heuristics
  - Graphs showing OLSR simulation results for MPR coverage for 50 and
    100 nodes for the MPR mechanism in the 05 draft and the improved
    MPR mechanism which includes the new heuristics described in the 06 
    draft.
  - Fast rerouting with link-layer notification described
  
Joe Macker raised the issue that the OLSR draft does not specify how packet 
duplicate detection is performed in the presence of packet aggregation. Thomas 
Clausen responded that possible implementations of duplicate detection in the 
context of packet aggregation will be discussed in future versions of the OLSR 
draft.

6. Fred Baker presented: OSPF v3 as a Manet Routing Protocol
  
  - Commercial manet protocols: what is important in the market place? 
	* application-specific protocols may be of interest
      * ease of deployment is key
  - Issues with OSPF v2  
  - OSPF v3 was presented as a better potential framework for
    implementing a set of manet extensions
  - A Manet interface type was discussed and related implications to
    an OSPF extension
  - A number of approaches and scenarios relating to inter-Area   
    mobility were presented as well

Fred Templin raised the question of whether there will be too many prefixes to 
keep track of. Fred answered that this shouldn't be a big problem as the number 
of prefixes will not be too large.

Dave Johnson pointed out that the concept of areas has been considered 
before in an ISPAN '99 paper published by the Rice/CMU Monarch project.  
Movement between areas is accomplished through Mobile IP.  This mechanism has 
also been implemented and tested in a DSR testbed.

  - A link state metric equation was presented	

    Richard Ogier suggested that path length should be included in the
    metric.  Fred Baker agreed.

  - Installing IPv4 routes (OSPF v3 is an IPv6 protocol)

The WG chair clarified that Fred Baker is not suggesting a replacement for the 
current proactive MANET protocol proposals, but that his proposal has likely 
application for a number of envisioned scenarios.

Charlie Perkins argued that areas may not be applicable to all ad hoc network 
environments and to protocols advocating an on-demand approach to routing.

A question is raised about whether OSPFv3 handles partitions.  Fred Baker 
answered that it can be done but not easily.

7. Fred Templin presented ICMP redirect issues in MANET

8. Announcements and General WG discussion

Yih-Chun Hu reported that a new implementation of DSR on Windows CE 
from the University of Dublin is now available.  A new implementation
of DSR under linux is also available.  Contact yihchun@cs.cmu.edu for
more information. 

Joe Macker announced that NRL has made available the OLSR Linux implementation 
with NRL modifications (this code is based upon INRIA v3 code).  It has been 
applied in live testbeds with 10-20 mobile nodes.  There is also a v4 based ns2 
model which is being released.  This model includes several optional modes 
including link layer notification and a full topology mode.  The project 
releases can be found at <http://pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil>.

Dave Johnson advertised Mobihoc 2002 to be held in the summer of 2002 in 
Lausanne, Switzerland.

hi all,

  Can anyboday tell me the difference between routing table and precursor
list in AODV?
Sorry to ask this stupid question if it is. I need to understand them in
network formation.

thanks,

hi all,

  Can anyboday tell me the difference between routing table and precursor
list in AODV?
Sorry to ask this stupid question if it is. I need to understand them in
network formation.

thanks,

The NIST DSR OPNET model was downloaded by Jason T. Ballah, a student at
the Air Force Institute of Technology in Dayton, Ohio.  He upgraded the
NIST model to a later version of the DSR protocol, with more features,
and used it for his master's thesis on mutual authentication in
MANETs.  Jason's thesis and model files are available on our 
bibliography page under "Modeling and Simulation."  Also available there
is his Validation & Verification plan, which gives a summary of the
changes he made to the NIST model and his methodology for verifying the
model.

All files accessible via http://w3.antd.nist.gov/wctg/prd_dsrfiles.html

According to Jason, "The model now performs the same (within a 95% 
confidence interval) as the published data from the NS-2 models 
implemented by the research team at CMU.  It is not the full 
implementation of the DSR specifications since it still does not perform 
piggy-backing operations or flow-state, but I believe it is much closer 
and could definitely be expanded and used by other researchers."

NIST is happy to make this model available, but since it was developed
at another agency, we cannot provide support for it.  A limited amount
of support is available from AFIT: contact Maj. Rusty Baldwin at
rusty.baldwin@afit.edu

Hi All.

 John is right in his observation regarding the OPNET WLAN model. There is
work around for it.  In order to account for interference you shouldn't use
the receiver stat wire in wlan mac process model but create your own stat wire
and use that to determine whether the channel is busy or free.

I hope the above helps  and you are able to use OPNET model for your
simulations :)

Hi,

I just glanced through a summary of QoS for AODV and noticed the
following in draft-perkins-manet-aodvqos-00.txt:

--8<--
5. Security Considerations

   This draft specifies mechanisms for handling quality of service.  It
   does not introduce any special security considerations which were not
   already present in the AODV routing protocol [2].
--8<--

This is untrue, because:

--8<--
   Before forwarding the RREQ, an intermediate node MUST compare its
   NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME to the (remaining) Delay indicated in the Maximum
   Delay Extension.  If the Delay is less, the node MUST discard the
   RREQ and not process it any further.  Otherwise, the node subtracts
   NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME from the Delay value in the extension and
   continues processing the RREQ as specified in [2].

[...]

   Before forwarding the RREQ, an intermediate node MUST compare its
   approximate jitter to the (remaining) Jitter indicated in the Maximum
   Jitter Extension.  If the Jitter is less, the node MUST discard the
   RREQ and not process it any further.  Otherwise, the node subtracts
--8<--
(note subtract above)

Intermediate nodes modifying the packet for all practical purposes kills 
IPSEC except for an keys-shared-by-everyone method (only one applicable to 
e.g. DSR I think).

IPSEC (to secure the routing messages) seems to be possible with AODV, but
not with AODV QoS extensions.

Hello,

Thanks for your comments.

I guess I don't see how that (multiple data delivery) might happen. 
Obviously it's possible with salvaging, since you might not get the ACK
even when the data gets through, but any local repair mechanism might have
this problem.  Even if it were to happen, we'd still be compliant with the
semantics of IP...

Maybe we could point out in the draft which types could legally be
present. Perhaps I don't understand the concern, since the concept is that
anything can be piggybacked in anything.

The need for up-to-date information at each intermediate node is
problematic, for example, if nodes turn themselves off periodically,
effectively rebooting. Such nodes would not have state consistant with the
rest of the network, and in certain routing protocols, this could cause
routing loops.

I just don't see how you could ever get a routing loop in DSR. Your cache
determines the routes you add to packets. Those routes MUST be loop-free,
since they're finite length, and include a current-address, which is
monotone increasing.

Since each packet carries its own route, it's route is entirely determined
by the (by definition consistant) state at the sender, and no other node's
state.

And they're all on-demand (not periodic). Maybe I don't understand what
you're trying to say?

Very true. We recommend a specific cache management scheme, called
Link-MaxLife.

Not manet-wide. Yes, for your own interfaces, but this is flexibility over
most existing manet routing protocols, which require bidirectionality at
all interfaces. When you put in the special addresses indicating a
bidirectionality switch, the receivers know the directionality of their
receive interface, and can deduce which parts of a source route must be
bidirectional and which ones can have unidirectional links. For example,
when the route A->B->*->C->D->*->E is received at D, it knows whether it's
interface is bidirectional or unidirectional. If it's unidirectional, it
knows A->B is bidirectional, B->C->D is unidirectional. When it sendsi t
out a bidirectional interface, it adds a * to the source route first.

>This seems a rather big aasumption.

It seems rather smaller than assuming that all interfaces are
bidirectional. I don't really want to belabor this point, because I don't
think DSR's unidirectional support is very well tuned, and because the
commodity standard for wireless interfaces these days is 802.11, which
does require bidirectionality.

Yes, that's the price you pay for an on-demand protocol. Discovery can
fail. You may have to wait. AODV, ZRP, SSA, ABR, ... all share this
problem.

No, it doesn't. You pick a route for the packet. You include the route in
the packet. That route is loop-free, regardless of whether or not your
cache is up-to-date.

I also don't see why you couldn't verify loop-freedom if you really cared.
If an address appears twice in the source route, then you've found a loop?

True, but that same firewall would also have to support DSR routing to
know the next hop, just like the same firewall would have to support IPv6
routing.

Agreed.

How else do you do neighbor discovery? This seems like it should be taken
up as a manet-wide issue.

? This is in the present tense; if I were to say "the node SHOULD discard
the packet rather than salvage it," that doesn't sound quite right.

What's the attacker model? Legitimate nodes failing in Byzantine ways? 
Multiple coordinated attackers with several compromised nodes? We specify
that security considerations are out-of-scope, as in BGP (RFC1771). 
Security in manets are an active area of research...

I guess I don't see how that (multiple data delivery) might happen. 
Obviously it's possible with salvaging, since you might not get the ACK
even when the data gets through, but any local repair mechanism might have
this problem.  Even if it were to happen, we'd still be compliant with the
semantics of IP...

Maybe we could point out in the draft which types could legally be
present. Perhaps I don't understand the concern, since the concept is that
anything can be piggybacked in anything.

The need for up-to-date information at each intermediate node is
problematic, for example, if nodes turn themselves off periodically,
effectively rebooting. Such nodes would not have state consistant with the
rest of the network, and in certain routing protocols, this could cause
routing loops.

I just don't see how you could ever get a routing loop in DSR. Your cache
determines the routes you add to packets. Those routes MUST be loop-free,
since they're finite length, and include a current-address, which is
monotone increasing.

Since each packet carries its own route, it's route is entirely determined
by the (by definition consistant) state at the sender, and no other node's
state.

And they're all on-demand (not periodic). Maybe I don't understand what
you're trying to say?

Very true. We recommend a specific cache management scheme, called
Link-MaxLife.

Not manet-wide. Yes, for your own interfaces, but this is flexibility over
most existing manet routing protocols, which require bidirectionality at
all interfaces. When you put in the special addresses indicating a
bidirectionality switch, the receivers know the directionality of their
receive interface, and can deduce which parts of a source route must be
bidirectional and which ones can have unidirectional links. For example,
when the route A->B->*->C->D->*->E is received at D, it knows whether it's
interface is bidirectional or unidirectional. If it's unidirectional, it
knows A->B is bidirectional, B->C->D is unidirectional. When it sendsi t
out a bidirectional interface, it adds a * to the source route first.

>This seems a rather big aasumption.

It seems rather smaller than assuming that all interfaces are
bidirectional. I don't really want to belabor this point, because I don't
think DSR's unidirectional support is very well tuned, and because the
commodity standard for wireless interfaces these days is 802.11, which
does require bidirectionality.

Yes, that's the price you pay for an on-demand protocol. Discovery can
fail. You may have to wait. AODV, ZRP, SSA, ABR, ... all share this
problem.

No, it doesn't. You pick a route for the packet. You include the route in
the packet. That route is loop-free, regardless of whether or not your
cache is up-to-date.

I also don't see why you couldn't verify loop-freedom if you really cared.
If an address appears twice in the source route, then you've found a loop?

True, but that same firewall would also have to support DSR routing to
know the next hop, just like the same firewall would have to support IPv6
routing.

How else do you do neighbor discovery? This seems like it should be taken

? This is in the present tense; if I were to say "the node SHOULD discard

What's the attacker model? Legitimate nodes failing in Byzantine ways? 
Multiple coordinated attackers with several compromised nodes? We specify
that security considerations are out-of-scope, as in BGP (RFC1771). 
Security in manets are an active area of research...

Hi,

Additional comment I just noticed: 'ACK Destination Address' in
Acknowledgment DSR Option seemed redundant to me, as the dstaddr in IP
header seems to serve exactly the same purpose.  Did I miss something?

I'll respond to some issues below.

.. except for a few exceptions.  I don't see a concern as such here, but a
thing perhaps worth clarifying ("the usual DSR header combinations" or
whatnot).

The last paragraph is not entirely true: the route can be affected by e.g. 
an intermediate node salvaging the packet, right?  The maximal salvage 
count does limit how many times this can happen, so this couldn't result 
in an endless loop, but quite often that's a tranistory state in regular 
protocols too.

Well, I just think that periodicity, as an "only" criterion, is not 
necessarily an usable on.  DSR does similar things like periodic activity, 
with overhead in the form of DSR header, anyway -- at least when there is 
traffic on the wire (e.g. network acknowledgements in route maintenance).

I have a failure to grasp this.  Do you mean that addressing could be used 
to indicate bidirectionality?  Well, this is one approach, but I don't 
recall this in the draft?

I'm not sure what you mean '*' here, so my comment may not be off the
mark.  I fail to see how D could conclude anything of A->B or B->C based
on the bidirectionality of its own link?  (Except if it knows the
directionality based on addresses or similar, but that's one approach I
was implicitly suggesting.)

I disagree, on practical terms: it is a rather big assumption *when* one 
feature of DSR is exactly unidirectionality.  If there is support, the 
support should work.  If there is no support, people who have this as a 
requirement use different protocols.

If this is a practical "non-issue", I wonder if it would make sense to try 
to define the main DSR proposal as bidirectional, and move unidirectional 
parts to a separate draft.

True, for "loop-freeness" in the traditional meaning.  If one includes 
"inserting too long, very suboptimal paths, which do not have a loop", 
this would be more difficult to verify.  

But I'm not sure of the threat model of this; my main worry was that if a 
source knows a sub-optimal path, and that path will be cached on 
intermediate nodes too, and that way it might be propagated to all nodes 
querying for that destination (replies from the cache).

I'm not all that worried (except for severe implementation bugs) about 
loopfreeness as such, but rather unoptimal paths (which may be "almost 
loops") getting there.

The firewall could also work in a bridging mode (which is a bit more rare, 
but we use one too), but you're right.  

I'd add a note in security considerations about this at least, though, 
because supporting DSR routing and supporting DSR header in the firewall 
software are two rather separate issues, and the connection may not be 
apparent.

I was suggesting like:

'the node SHOULD "salvage" the packet rather than discard it.'

, because I find using the -ing form of the verb unnatural here when 
"salvage" does not use that.  But I'm not a native speaker, so you're 
probably right if it sounds better.

The attackers have many models, most of which are out of scope here,
especially if one wants byzantine robustness in the case of a captured
node feeding deliberately wrong information.

One particular scenario I mentioned here was that a node that has old
cached data keeps propagating that information to nodes which do route 
requests through it.  Or salvage packets in non-optimal ways.  This could 
lead to a security problem (denial of service).  But perhaps this "cache 
freshness ensurance problem" needs to be addressed elsewhere.

Hi,

Additional comment I just noticed: 'ACK Destination Address' in
Acknowledgment DSR Option seemed redundant to me, as the dstaddr in IP
header seems to serve exactly the same purpose.  Did I miss something?

I'll respond to some issues below.

.. except for a few exceptions.  I don't see a concern as such here, but a
thing perhaps worth clarifying ("the usual DSR header combinations" or
whatnot).

The last paragraph is not entirely true: the route can be affected by e.g. 
an intermediate node salvaging the packet, right?  The maximal salvage 
count does limit how many times this can happen, so this couldn't result 
in an endless loop, but quite often that's a tranistory state in regular 
protocols too.

Well, I just think that periodicity, as an "only" criterion, is not 
necessarily an usable on.  DSR does similar things like periodic activity, 
with overhead in the form of DSR header, anyway -- at least when there is 
traffic on the wire (e.g. network acknowledgements in route maintenance).

I have a failure to grasp this.  Do you mean that addressing could be used 
to indicate bidirectionality?  Well, this is one approach, but I don't 
recall this in the draft?

I'm not sure what you mean '*' here, so my comment may not be off the
mark.  I fail to see how D could conclude anything of A->B or B->C based
on the bidirectionality of its own link?  (Except if it knows the
directionality based on addresses or similar, but that's one approach I
was implicitly suggesting.)

I disagree, on practical terms: it is a rather big assumption *when* one 
feature of DSR is exactly unidirectionality.  If there is support, the 
support should work.  If there is no support, people who have this as a 
requirement use different protocols.

If this is a practical "non-issue", I wonder if it would make sense to try 
to define the main DSR proposal as bidirectional, and move unidirectional 
parts to a separate draft.

True, for "loop-freeness" in the traditional meaning.  If one includes 
"inserting too long, very suboptimal paths, which do not have a loop", 
this would be more difficult to verify.  

But I'm not sure of the threat model of this; my main worry was that if a 
source knows a sub-optimal path, and that path will be cached on 
intermediate nodes too, and that way it might be propagated to all nodes 
querying for that destination (replies from the cache).

I'm not all that worried (except for severe implementation bugs) about 
loopfreeness as such, but rather unoptimal paths (which may be "almost 
loops") getting there.

Hi,
I'm a Ph.D. student and I'm working on the use of MANETs in 
Military Tactical Networks, namely, in the routing area.
I am looking for some documentations about this subjects.
Could someone signal to me some links or documents about that?
Thanks

Dear Routing Area participants,

  Alex and I have resurrected the routing-discussion mailing list,
routing-discussion@ietf.org (routing-discussion-request@ietf.org to
subscribe, or https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/routing-discussion).
This list is intended for use for general routing area issues, especially
routing-related items that cross multiple working groups or do not fall
specifically within a given group's charter.  It will also be used for
cross-area coordination of routing issues.

  Please sign up for the list if you are interested.

Thanks,
  Bill and Alex.

Just a quick note that I just uploaded a new version of our GPL'd AODV
implementation (AODV-UU) to our website. From the CHANGELOG:

0.3:
* New timer code to fix obscure crashes (very stable now).
* Multiple network interfaces support.
* Fixed bug which caused some RERRs to not be sent.
* HELLO message jittering.
* Code is AODV-interop tested and verified.
* Updated README.
* New command line parsing, and options.
* Added command line option to disable wait on reboot (maybe Manel
  will stop whining about the 15 secs delay now ;-).

Enjoy!

Error Destination Addresses.

I guess I should think very carefully about "the prohibited DSR header
combinations." I don't know that there are any; even bizzare things like
source-routed route requests could be interesting (route request up to a
point, where you know the rest of the route from there, or source route a
request out to a certain point, then blossom it from there).

Granted. We could prohibit a path from ever looping, but that would also
prohibit backtracking. We don't allow looping (same path over and over
again); we allow backtracking.

There are things that other protocols do periodically: neighbor sense,
route discovery, route maintenance, etc. But it does them ONLY when
there's traffic on the wire. We say these are performed "on-demand" as a
characterization of their frequency and efficiency. We also argue why we
think on-demand protocols may be better in certain situations.

* is a "magic" address. So, looking at a source route backwards 
        E<-*<-D<-C<-*<-B<-A
E knows that the directionality of the c->d segment is different from the
directionality of the d->e segment. Similarly, c knows that the
directionality of the a->b segment is different from the directionality of
the b->c segment.

Hmm. Well, since you have to write a driver for an interface, I don't
think that's a huge assumption that you know the directionality of one of
your interfaces. You'd need to know that to decide whether or not you
could even use one of the other protocols.

That's an "I" as a person, not an "I" speaking on behalf of all draft
authors.

If you're worried about malicious nodes being "stupid" and using long
routes, I can assure you that there are many worse things that could be
used as attacks. Automatic Route Shortening helps reduce the length of
stale, long routes. Promiscuous overhearing works pretty well too. We have
yet to find a reason that drives us to periodic path discovery to ensure
freshness.
 
>I'm not all that worried (except for severe implementation bugs) about

Any on-demand protocol without a periodic rediscovery mechanism has the
same problem; once you set up a route, you don't really bother to look for
a better one.

That's a good idea.

You'd eventually get route errors that flush out your cache if you're
returning bogus routes on requests. For example, suppose A has two
disjoint bogus routes to B in its cache, and C does a discovery for B. A
returns a bogus route, C uses it, B forwards the corresponding route
error. Now A only has one disjoint bogus route.
 
Also, with the cache specified in appendix A, routes not actively in use
are eventually timed out.

Hello,

Btw, in section 5:

   The placement of DSR options following the fixed portion of the DSR
   header MAY be padded for alignment.  However, due to the typically
   limited available wireless bandwidth in ad hoc networks, this padding
   is not required, and receiving nodes MUST NOT expect options within a
   DSR header to be aligned.

==> is the wording about the recipient be supposed to be that strict?  IMO 
it's OK to _expect_ the header to be aligned, but the recipient definitely 
MUST NOT _require_ it?

Ok, perhaps these could be clarified, depending on how similar "duplicated 
data due to piggybacking" is currently discussed.  After reading, it wsn't 
obvious to me you could piggyback data _to multiple destinations_ in all 
packets.  Often piggubacking is only used to mean a multiplex transport 
between two nodes.

DST_I = destination in IP header
DST_A = destination in acknowledgement

What are the rules for piggybacking? I assume that from the direction of 
the source, DST_A must be on the path to DST_I, or DST_I?  What if DST_A 
moves off the path, or isn't on the path to begin with?  An intermediate 
node should "remove" piggybacking and send two separate packets?

Piggybacking when the destination is not the same seems like a potentially 
troublesome concept.

Well, at least some cannot be used more than once.  There are probably 
some practical ways how it's usually done.  Just a thought.

Hmm.  Perhaps this is isn't clear to me as from traditional routing 
background, one always assumes more than one interface.  But isn't this 
issue more generic than one for multiple interfaces only?

I don't recall the discussion on how the magic address changes the 
processing of nodes which don't have multiple addresses, btw.

What about the scenario where there are no magic addresses: every node in 
the path has only one interface?   It is clear that the interface must be 
"generally" bidirectional, else it could not do any traffic, but it may 
not need to be birectional to all the neighbors in the range.

IP layer should be separate from this kind of decisions, but anyway, 
people deploying a MANET and people writing MANET protocols and people 
writing the interface drivers may be very very different.

As said, there are much more viable attacks than this.  But my worry is 
non-malicious, but still "stupid" nodes doing something.

In some cases it might be very useful, ie. to find fresh new paths before
your current path fails.  But I guess that's more of an ideological
issue..

Good clarification.

Note that this behaviour seems different than original ARP behaviour from 
which Route Req/Route Maintenance originated: with ARP, you re-perform ARP 
*even if* the entry is being used.

Well, at least some cannot be used more than once.  There are probably 
some practical ways how it's usually done.  Just a thought.

Hmm.  Perhaps this is isn't clear to me as from traditional routing 
background, one always assumes more than one interface.  But isn't this 
issue more generic than one for multiple interfaces only?

I don't recall the discussion on how the magic address changes the 
processing of nodes which don't have multiple addresses, btw.

What about the scenario where there are no magic addresses: every node in 
the path has only one interface?   It is clear that the interface must be 
"generally" bidirectional, else it could not do any traffic, but it may 
not need to be birectional to all the neighbors in the range.

IP layer should be separate from this kind of decisions, but anyway, 
people deploying a MANET and people writing MANET protocols and people 
writing the interface drivers may be very very different.

As said, there are much more viable attacks than this.  But my worry is 
non-malicious, but still "stupid" nodes doing something.

In some cases it might be very useful, ie. to find fresh new paths before
your current path fails.  But I guess that's more of an ideological
issue..

Good clarification.

Note that this behaviour seems different than original ARP behaviour from 
which Route Req/Route Maintenance originated: with ARP, you re-perform ARP 
*even if* the entry is being used.

               The Third ACM International Symposium on
                Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing
                                   
                        Lausanne, Switzerland
                           June 9-11, 2002
                                   
              http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/

      Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE  http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/


MobiHoc 2002 is the third of a series of annual meetings sponsored by
ACM SIGMOBILE, focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing
area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing.  The first MobiHoc was
held in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the
MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE.  Since then, MobiHoc has
become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach, California, and
now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Topics of interest include all
areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc networking (above the physical
layer), ad hoc computing, and sensor networks.

PAPERS:

There will be approximately seven technical paper sessions on a wide
range of ad hoc networking topics.  The list of accepted papers can be
found at http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/program.html. Paper
topics include routing, sensor networks, scalability, multicast,
energy consumption, TCP, and priority scheduling.


POSTERS:

There will also be a poster session, describing innovative and recent
research on ad hoc networks.


TUTORIALS:

This year there is a new component to MobiHoc: technical tutorials.
On June 9th there will be two tutorials.  "Design and Modeling of
Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" will be
held in the morning, and "Routing & Multicasting in Ad hoc Networks"
will be held in the afternoon.


HOTEL and REGISTRATION:

Hotel information is currently available on-line, and the symposium
is open for registration.  Register by April 22, 2002 to get the
early registration rates.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Early Registration Deadline:            April 22, 2002
Tutorials:                              June 9, 2002
Conference:                             June 10-11, 2002

      Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE  http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/


MobiHoc 2002 is the third of a series of annual meetings sponsored by
ACM SIGMOBILE, focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing
area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing.  The first MobiHoc was
held in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the
MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE.  Since then, MobiHoc has
become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach, California, and
now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Topics of interest include all
areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc networking (above the physical
layer), ad hoc computing, and sensor networks.

PAPERS:

There will be approximately seven technical paper sessions on a wide
range of ad hoc networking topics.  The list of accepted papers can be
found at http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/program.html. Paper
topics include routing, sensor networks, scalability, multicast,
energy consumption, TCP, and priority scheduling.


POSTERS:

There will also be a poster session, describing innovative and recent
research on ad hoc networks.


TUTORIALS:

This year there is a new component to MobiHoc: technical tutorials.
On June 9th there will be two tutorials.  "Design and Modeling of
Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" will be
held in the morning, and "Routing & Multicasting in Ad hoc Networks"
will be held in the afternoon.


HOTEL and REGISTRATION:

Hotel information is currently available on-line, and the symposium
is open for registration.  Register by April 22, 2002 to get the
early registration rates.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Early Registration Deadline:            April 22, 2002

Doug,

In TBRPF, when a route fails, the source tree and routing table
are updated immediately, based on the topology database, to provide 
immediate rerouting (even if the new path is longer, unlike EIGRP 
as explained below).  Since TBRPF is a link-state protocol, the source 
node knows the entire path (and therefore knows that it is loop free).  
EIGRP is a distance-vector protocol, and must send "query" messages
if the distance to some destination increases, to ensure loop freedom.
EIGRP is not being considered for MANETs.  DSDV is another distance-vector 
protocol that is a better candidate for MANETs.

Hi,                                                                   
                                                                      
I was performing a simple simulation in glomosim 2.02.                
A static 25 node network, with nodes arranged in a grid topology      
with grid spacing of 200 m. The transmission range of every node is   
376 m                                                                 
                                                                      
I had set up CBR traffice bitween nodes  0 1, 1 2, 0 2, 2 1, 2 0.     
I am using static routes.                                             
                                                                      
When I looked at the collisions metric, I found that there are a lot  
of collisions on                                                      
node  5 6 7 8.                                                        
This is very odd as they are not involved in the communication an are 
not used for routing.                                                 
                                                                      
I changed the MAC protocol form 802.11 to CSMA but still there are a  
large number of collisions noticed                                    
at node 5 6 7 8.                                                      
                                                                      
I decreased the CBR traffic on nodes 0 1 2 and sent only about 8      
packets per node.                                                     
The collisions on node 5 6 7 8 were still there and a were very large.
                                                                      
Is this a bug in glomosim, Can some one help ???                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
Gaurav

Hi,                                                                   
                                                                      
I was performing a simple simulation in glomosim 2.02.                
A static 25 node network, with nodes arranged in a grid topology      
with grid spacing of 200 m. The transmission range of every node is   
376 m                                                                 
                                                                      
I had set up CBR traffice bitween nodes  0 1, 1 2, 0 2, 2 1, 2 0.     
I am using static routes.                                             
                                                                      
When I looked at the collisions metric, I found that there are a lot  
of collisions on                                                      
node  5 6 7 8.                                                        
This is very odd as they are not involved in the communication an are 
not used for routing.                                                 
                                                                      
I changed the MAC protocol form 802.11 to CSMA but still there are a  
large number of collisions noticed                                    
at node 5 6 7 8.                                                      
                                                                      
I decreased the CBR traffic on nodes 0 1 2 and sent only about 8      
packets per node.                                                     
The collisions on node 5 6 7 8 were still there and a were very large.
                                                                      
Is this a bug in glomosim, Can some one help ???                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
Gaurav

Thanks Richard.

I am interested any feasible manet DVs, and noted that EIGRP claims
convergence comparable to link state because it retains backup routes.  I
was wondering if anyone thought this idea worth exploiting in Manet
protocols. 

As you say, with link states replicated topology database discovering
loop-free alternates is not an issue.  

I will take a look at DSDV.

Doug,

In TBRPF, when a route fails, the source tree and routing table
are updated immediately, based on the topology database, to provide 
immediate rerouting (even if the new path is longer, unlike EIGRP 
as explained below).  Since TBRPF is a link-state protocol, the source 
node knows the entire path (and therefore knows that it is loop free).  
EIGRP is a distance-vector protocol, and must send "query" messages
if the distance to some destination increases, to ensure loop freedom.
EIGRP is not being considered for MANETs.  DSDV is another distance-vector 
protocol that is a better candidate for MANETs.

Dear Doug,

OLSR provides natural route back-up because of link state knowledge of the
network. The links that are advertized througout the network are the MPR
links that reduce the overhead of link state control. Their number can be
tuned to increase path redundancy if necessary. It is a priori not necessary
to compute the back-up route in parallel with the main route, since
recomputation will be triggered by link breakage. However if you feel that
recomputation may take time, it could be done in anticipation for fast
rerouting purpose (implementation issue).

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this,
but I had a question about Greedy Perimeter Stateless
Routing (gpsr) and was hoping someone could help me.

I am trying to get the ns-2 simulation code of gpsr
working under ns-2 from the snapshot available from
Dr.Karp's page
http://www.icir.org/bkarp/gpsr/gpsr.html.
Unfortunately I cannot get it to compile with either
ns-2.1b6 or 2.1b7. I was wondering if anyone got this
code to work properly under either ns-2 version b6 or
preferably b8. If so, some directions or help in
obtaining a working tarball would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Vamshidhar.

Yep, you can technically piggyback it on something. Same deal with Route
Error Destination Addresses.

I guess I should think very carefully about "the prohibited DSR header
combinations." I don't know that there are any; even bizzare things like
source-routed route requests could be interesting (route request up to a
point, where you know the rest of the route from there, or source route a
request out to a certain point, then blossom it from there).

Granted. We could prohibit a path from ever looping, but that would also
prohibit backtracking. We don't allow looping (same path over and over
again); we allow backtracking.

There are things that other protocols do periodically: neighbor sense,
route discovery, route maintenance, etc. But it does them ONLY when
there's traffic on the wire. We say these are performed "on-demand" as a
characterization of their frequency and efficiency. We also argue why we
think on-demand protocols may be better in certain situations.

Section 7. It's new in -07. (Sorry)

* is a "magic" address. So, looking at a source route backwards 
	E<-*<-D<-C<-*<-B<-A
E knows that the directionality of the c->d segment is different from the
directionality of the d->e segment. Similarly, c knows that the
directionality of the a->b segment is different from the directionality of
the b->c segment.

Hmm. Well, since you have to write a driver for an interface, I don't
think that's a huge assumption that you know the directionality of one of
your interfaces. You'd need to know that to decide whether or not you
could even use one of the other protocols.

That's an "I" as a person, not an "I" speaking on behalf of all draft
authors.

If you're worried about malicious nodes being "stupid" and using long
routes, I can assure you that there are many worse things that could be
used as attacks. Automatic Route Shortening helps reduce the length of
stale, long routes. Promiscuous overhearing works pretty well too. We have
yet to find a reason that drives us to periodic path discovery to ensure
freshness.

Any on-demand protocol without a periodic rediscovery mechanism has the
same problem; once you set up a route, you don't really bother to look for
a better one.

That's a good idea.

You'd eventually get route errors that flush out your cache if you're
returning bogus routes on requests. For example, suppose A has two
disjoint bogus routes to B in its cache, and C does a discovery for B. A
returns a bogus route, C uses it, B forwards the corresponding route
error. Now A only has one disjoint bogus route.

Also, with the cache specified in appendix A, routes not actively in use
are eventually timed out.

Yep, you can technically piggyback it on something. Same deal with Route
Error Destination Addresses.

I guess I should think very carefully about "the prohibited DSR header
combinations." I don't know that there are any; even bizzare things like
source-routed route requests could be interesting (route request up to a
point, where you know the rest of the route from there, or source route a
request out to a certain point, then blossom it from there).

Granted. We could prohibit a path from ever looping, but that would also
prohibit backtracking. We don't allow looping (same path over and over
again); we allow backtracking.

There are things that other protocols do periodically: neighbor sense,
route discovery, route maintenance, etc. But it does them ONLY when
there's traffic on the wire. We say these are performed "on-demand" as a
characterization of their frequency and efficiency. We also argue why we
think on-demand protocols may be better in certain situations.

Section 7. It's new in -07. (Sorry)

* is a "magic" address. So, looking at a source route backwards 
	E<-*<-D<-C<-*<-B<-A
E knows that the directionality of the c->d segment is different from the
directionality of the d->e segment. Similarly, c knows that the
directionality of the a->b segment is different from the directionality of
the b->c segment.

      Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE  http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/


MobiHoc 2002 is the third of a series of annual meetings sponsored by
ACM SIGMOBILE, focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing
area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing.  The first MobiHoc was
held in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the
MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE.  Since then, MobiHoc has
become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach, California, and
now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Topics of interest include all
areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc networking (above the physical
layer), ad hoc computing, and sensor networks.

PAPERS:

There will be approximately seven technical paper sessions on a wide
range of ad hoc networking topics.  The list of accepted papers can be
found at http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/program.html. Paper
topics include routing, sensor networks, scalability, multicast,
energy consumption, TCP, and priority scheduling.


POSTERS:

There will also be a poster session, describing innovative and recent
research on ad hoc networks.


TUTORIALS:

This year there is a new component to MobiHoc: technical tutorials.
On June 9th there will be two tutorials.  "Design and Modeling of
Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" will be
held in the morning, and "Routing & Multicasting in Ad hoc Networks"
will be held in the afternoon.


HOTEL and REGISTRATION:

Hotel information is currently available on-line, and the symposium
is open for registration.  Register by April 22, 2002 to get the
early registration rates.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Early Registration Deadline:            April 22, 2002
Tutorials:                              June 9, 2002

      Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE  http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/


MobiHoc 2002 is the third of a series of annual meetings sponsored by
ACM SIGMOBILE, focusing on the latest research in the rapidly growing
area of mobile ad hoc networking and computing.  The first MobiHoc was
held in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, as a workshop affiliated with the
MobiCom conference also sponsored by SIGMOBILE.  Since then, MobiHoc has
become a separate symposium, held in 2001 in Long Beach, California, and
now in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Topics of interest include all
areas of mobile and wireless ad hoc networking (above the physical
layer), ad hoc computing, and sensor networks.

PAPERS:

There will be approximately seven technical paper sessions on a wide
range of ad hoc networking topics.  The list of accepted papers can be
found at http://www.acm.org/sigmobile/mobihoc/2002/program.html. Paper
topics include routing, sensor networks, scalability, multicast,
energy consumption, TCP, and priority scheduling.


POSTERS:

There will also be a poster session, describing innovative and recent
research on ad hoc networks.


TUTORIALS:

This year there is a new component to MobiHoc: technical tutorials.
On June 9th there will be two tutorials.  "Design and Modeling of
Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks" will be
held in the morning, and "Routing & Multicasting in Ad hoc Networks"
will be held in the afternoon.


HOTEL and REGISTRATION:

Hotel information is currently available on-line, and the symposium
is open for registration.  Register by April 22, 2002 to get the
early registration rates.


IMPORTANT DATES:

Early Registration Deadline:            April 22, 2002
Tutorials:                              June 9, 2002
Conference:                             June 10-11, 2002

We are pleased to announce the AODV Next Generation (AODVng) 2002
Workshop, the first workshop on the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector
(AODV) routing protocol.  AODVng 2002, held in conjunction with the
Third ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and
Computing (Mobihoc) 2002, will bring together researchers and
engineers who have experience working with AODV, to discuss future
directions and enhancements for AODV.  The workshop will include
presentations by participants, as well as a discussion session on
suggested extensions to the basic AODV protocol.  The setting of the
workshop is informal, and will take place at Ecole Polytechnique
Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), the same site as Mobihoc.

Date: June 8, 2002
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland

We invite one-page abstracts describing recent work related to AODV.
If your abstract is accepted, you will be asked to give a presentation
on this work at the workshop.  There will be no formal proceedings
from the workshop, although during the workshop we may decide on some
avenue for a publication describing the event.  Participation in the
workshop is by invitation only.

Because of the limited time available, there are currently no plans
for interoperability testing at this event.   If there is interest, 
we can use part of the workshop time to plan the next such event.  
Also, informal interoperability testing may be possible.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Quality of Service
- Multi-path routing
- Security
- Uni-directional links
- Implementation and test-bed experience
- Energy usage
- Scalability
- Interoperability testing and future events
- Freely available implementations and simulations
- Location-aware routing
- Scatternet formation
- Limiting rebroadcasts for flooding (broadcast backbones)
- Parameter selection for specific mobility and traffic scenarios
- Service discovery

Note that the topic must be related to the AODV protocol, and geared
towards future improvement.

Submission Instructions:

All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in ASCII
text, PDF or PostScript format.  Submissions must be in the form of an
abstract and must not exceed *500 words*.  Because there will not be
any formal proceedings, the work may be previously published
elsewhere.  The proposal may also be a work-in-progress, although
meaningful results must be included.


Please send submissions to Charles E. Perkins at charliep@iprg.nokia.com.

Submission Deadline: *April 30, 2002*
Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2002

For more information, visit the AODVng Workshop homepage at
http://moment.cs.ucsb.edu/AODV/workshop.html, or send email to
Charles Perkins (charliep@iprg.nokia.com) or Elizabeth Belding-Royer
(ebelding@cs.ucsb.edu) for any questions or more information.

Hi,
please let me know if anyone of you has implemented the AODV multicast
extension (MAODV) on the ns. I want to develop some reliable multicast
protocol for ad hoc networks,
and for the multicast tree construction, I wish to use MAODV.
I shall therefore be needing the source files for MAODV.
Maybe you can help me.
Regards
Dennis

I don't dispute this; as you note, I was complaining about the fact that 
AODV QoS draft does not mention this "well-known fact"; the security 
considerations are not the same as with AODV, as stated in the draft.

Hello,

The first paragraph of the AODV security considerations basically says the 
AODV packets should be authenticated.

The second paragraph seems to suggest that the _data_ sent between the 
nodes could be authenticated.  This appears to be the case.  This could 
also be interpreted to mean about AODV control packets, which would be 
wrong.

Where is the discussion about securing AODV control messages?  If it 
cannot be done, it should also be stated.

From Hop Count and other values which seem to be modifiable in transit it
appears that "hop-by-hop" security associations, every node having to
trust its neighbors (thus expanding the ring of trust) would be necessary:  
security of AODV protocol between non-neighbor AODV nodes does not appear
to be possible.

Moi Pekka,

Securing AODV messages is possible.
I recomend you to take a look to my SAODV draft:
http://ant.eupvg.upc.es/~tarom/draft-tarom-manet-saodv-00.txt

You have pointed out one of the biggest problems I had when designing
SAODV: the mutable fields (i.e. hop count). Luckily Asokan came with
the proposal of using hash chains to secure the hop count. And,
although there are certain possible attacks against the authentication
of the hop count, I'm pretty satisfied about the overall security
that SAODV is now providing. (Except maybe in the RERR messages, where
more work still needs to be done)

Hello Manel,

If i understand well the hash chains mechanism described in your
draft prevents a bad guy from modifying the HopCount field, right?
But why prevents a bad guy from not performing the hash of the HopCount
and just forwarding the packet as it is?  As a result, the path might appear
shorter that what it really is and might end-up being selected (this might
be the goal of the attacker..)?
Did i miss something?
thanks in advance for the clarification,
Claude.

Maybe IPsec won't be a good solution for ad hoc networking protocols.
It seems to be totally inflexible, and we need more flexibility.

Whether or not this is true, the argument about QoS should not have
any effect.

If you claim that AODV with QoS is less secure than AODV, for the reason
that useless messages MUST be discarded, then I think that you must
be using a wrong model of security to start with.

Hi Claude,

you didn't miss anything ;)
That's why I said: "although there are certain possible attacks against
the authentication of the hop count"...
That is exactly the attack you can perform:
Bad guys can avoid the increasing of the hop count when they
forward the packet.

So the first part of a composed attack would be to try
that enough bad guys get in one of the paths the RREQ travels through
and try to be close enough to the optimal path so the difference that
they cheat is enough to be selected as best path.
That is not as easy as you might thing.
If nodes move you have to have a lot of bad guys moving close to the best
path, or just a huge amount of bad guys (people accept that if a 1/3 of
the guys are bad there is not much you can do).
I thing that in the real world the probability that the bad guys get the
path going through them is not much higher than if the they wouldn't be cheating
(because if you put a lot of bad guys close to the best path, even if they
do account for the hop count they also get the possibility to be in the
best path).

Therefore I thing hash chains are pretty reasonable, and _very very cheap_!
There are other mechanisms to protect the hop count but they are so much more
expensive that they are not really feasible ones.
But if you (or somebody else) come with a better idea, I'll be glad to
study it.

Regards,

	Manel


P.D.: Another way to do the attack is that no matter how close they are to the path,
but be one hop away from src & dst and have a whole path of bad guy
no matter how long it is. (but then you need more bad boys than hops
has the optimal path and being just one hop away form src & dst)
So I thing bad guys will have a hard time doing this (now: imagine all nodes
moving).

One particular (and probably the only currently viable) mechanism is to 
use IPSEC. (Please don't mention IEEE 802.11 :-).

I'm not discussing security models here, I'm arguing against the wording 
which is basically "AODV QoS does not make security any more difficult 
and creates no new problems".  

This is clearly false, especially in the light that AODV messages are
recommended to be authenticated etc. (AODV QoS may or may not make it more
difficult, depending on the mechanism; probably will) considering the
limited scope of current mechanisms of securing AODV.

The wording in the main AODV draft makes one assume that it is probably
talking about protecting the data packets, not AODV.  But as IPSEC was
mentioned there, one would usually assume it could be used to some extent
with AODV packets too.

But I didn't yet see what the new problem is...

How does one resolve "clearly false" with "may or may not make it
more difficult"?

I'd like to take a look at this.  I don't remember any place
in the AODV draft that was intended to discuss securing data
packets.  If you can point to these places, or better yet suggest
ways of removing the confusing, that would be helpful.

How does one resolve "clearly false" with "may or may not make it
more difficult"?

I'd like to take a look at this.  I don't remember any place
in the AODV draft that was intended to discuss securing data
packets.  If you can point to these places, or better yet suggest
ways of removing the confusing, that would be helpful.

Basically the only real securing mechanism for something like this today 
is IPSEC.  Unless otherwise stated, it's IMO fairly safe to assume it 
would be used.

Security Considerations say:
--8<--
   Since AODV does not make any assumption about the nature of the
   address assignment to the mobile nodes except that they are presumed
   to have unique IP addresses, no definite statements can be made about
   the applicability of IPsec authentication headers or key exchange
   mechanisms.  However, if the mobile nodes in the ad hoc network have
   pre-established security associations, they should be able to use the
   same authentication mechanisms based on their IP addresses as they
   would have used otherwise.
--8<--

I assumed that this applies to the data packets, as otherwise it would be 
wrong: due to Hop Count and such, which may be modified in transit, IPSEC 
would not be all that usable to secure AODV control packets without 
further elaboration.

Hi,

Some Nitpicks...

1).  Page 3, second to last paragraph.  Grammar.

      ... containing the IP address for each [of] its neighbors ...
                                                                ^
                                                                 | Add word "of"

2). All.  Document organization.  When trying to implement the draft, one would 
     find it particularly convenient if all the references on how to handle the reception
     of a particular message i.e. RREQ, RREP, etc. were in the same subsection.
     I would prefer four new sections be aggregated into the draft, with subsection 
     titles of:

"Handling RREQ Messages"
"Handling RREP Messages", etc... i.e. for each AODV message type.

An implementation question...

3).  AODV specifies the creation of its own route table structure.  RFC 1396 
      (IP Forwarding Table MIB) specifies the format for route tables that
      are used in many device implementations, for example, the Microsoft Windows
      route table.  Is there any reason, why AODV does not specify the interaction
      between its route table and the route table that may be present on the host
      (and conflicting with) it.  Also, would it not be advisable to modify RFC 1396 to
      accomodate MANET protocols?  This way we could get down to one route
      table on host and router platforms right?  The precusror list does not necessarily
      need to be in there.  Also, the route table could be treated like a relational
      database indexed on IP destination addr so the redundant information could
      be put into the "real route table".  This is particularly important on embedded 
      devices.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Casey,

That is a very good observation. Because if two nodes simulate that
they have a link, it is very complicated to detect that they actualy don't
have a link (even with misbehavior detection schemes).

I've been thinking about the whole problem for a while
and I realized about a funny thing:

I usually thing about AODV route discovery assuming that it returns
the shortest path between originator and destination.
But that's not really true. Is it?

It returns the shortest path among the paths through which the RREQ
traveled faster from the originator to each final or intermediate node
that has the route to the destination.
(Or just the fastest one, in the case no intermediate nodes know a route
to de destination). And that's the selected path in AODV.

8<-------------------------------------------------
6.5. Processing and Forwarding Route Requests

    When a node receives a RREQ, it first checks to determine whether it
    has received a RREQ with the same Originator IP Address and RREQ ID
    within at least the last PATH_TRAVERSAL_TIME milliseconds.  If such a
    RREQ has been received, the node silently discards the newly received
    RREQ. The rest of this subsection describes actions taken for RREQs
    that are not discarded.
------------------------------------------------->8

According to this ...

A-----B------C------D
\           /
  --E--F--G--

... if A initiates a route discovery to D,
and C receives first the RREQ from G than from B the discovered
route will be this one: A E F G C D
and not: A B C D.
Because when C receives the RREQ from B, C "silently discards" the packet.


So for the attack you are suggesting to succeed, they would have to manage that
the RREQ forwarded by the second bad guy (with the faked hop count) will
be the fastest one to reach one of those nodes who can issue a RREP back
(because they are intermediate nodes that have a route to the destination,
or because they are the destination).
And that is not easy because that means that they actually have to be the
fastest path (acording to AODV policy of RREQ forwarding) to at least that
intermediate node. Or, just the fastest path if there are no intermediate nodes
(And in SAODV you can tell intermediate nodes not to respond RREQs if you
want more security by sacrificing performance in route discovery.
That is by using Single Signature Extensions (SSE) instead of Double Signature
Extensions (DSE)).

So actually with the increase level of security provide by SAODV when
we don't allow intermediate nodes to reply (SSE); the attakers should be in
the best path (acording to AODV way of selecting the path) to succeed to make the system
believe that they are in the best path ;) So they are achieving nothing.

And even in Double Signature Extensions, the attackers should manage
to be the fast ones to arrive to one of the intermediate nodes to succeed.


I should have thought about this before, because now if we look to the
attack that Claude was proposing it is even less feaseble (for the same reason)
that what I was originaly thinking. It does not matter that they lie about
the hop count, they still have to be the fastest ones (therefore they have
to be the path that would be picked up by AODV anyway).


Best regards,

	Manel

P.D.: If I'm missing something or you come up with new possible attacks,
please, let me know.

This is quite ambitious for a document that is almost "finished"!
Maybe it would be better to delay such a reorganization for some
future revision past Experimental?  (I hope!)

I think it should be better to cast any discussion in the AODV specification
in such a way that it is NOT interpreted as creation of a new route table.
AODV needs more things than are in a vanilla route table, but they can
be adjuncts to a route table -- or, with more complexity, a mirror of the
route table that is consulted in conjuction with route table accesses.
It's really a platform issue, and I believe the protocol specification has
to be kept separate from considerations about structure of a route table.
Surely kernel programmers don't have to restrict their route table interface
routines to using only the variables defined in some MIB.

Presumably, this is not suggested as part of AODV.

Hello ,

How can a host A that sends a RREQ for host B specify that it
only wants to receive RREP from host B and won'' t accept any RREP
from intermediate nodes.. is that possible?

thanks,
Claude.

Hi Pete,

If Attackers broadcast the packets correctly and also do
the tunneling thing the watchdog won't detect anything
so the pathrater won't change its metrics.
So no, theses kind of misbehaving detection schemes
do not detect attacks that use tunneling.

Hi Pete,

If Attackers broadcast the packets correctly and also do
the tunneling thing the watchdog won't detect anything
so the pathrater won't change its metrics.
So no, theses kind of misbehaving detection schemes
do not detect attacks that use tunneling.

Yes, but my point here is that it is not so important that there
is some possible attack to the hop count integrity, because that is not a key
element to get a route selected among others. It does not give a real benefit
to the attackers.

I thing this is something you find only in the simulation world (that if
you broadcast a RREQ all your neighbors will rebroadcast it at the very
same time and all the packets will collide).
But in the real world, if you use some wireless card they already have
(like the ethernet cards) this small random backoff,
to avoid collisions, for every packet they send.

Since there is no added delay for rebroadcasting, the attackers
have more or less the same chances to be the fastest as if they wouldn't
be bad boys. So tunneling and breaking the hop count does not give
any advantage to the attackers in order to get the traffic going between
them.

If people are using expanding ring, then the attackers have a big chance
to be the fastest. But in scenarios more security demanding the originator
of the RREQ could decide not to use the expanding ring search technique.
And that's it. There is no attack then.

Well, if attackers just by having better radios than the rest able to be in the
faster/shorter path. They don't need to misbehave to be in the path. So then
they are just as good boys which happend to have better radios.
So their route should be selected.

And if an attacker can put himself _in_ the fastest path, then he is in
the fastest path. Although that is not so easy if nodes are moving.
 From experiences with real implementations (not simulations) a communication
between two nodes does not happen through the same path all the time,
it is changing the route quite a lot.

I have never stated than SAODV is able to "preserve availability of
communication between source and destination". Actually in the abstract of
the draft it says:

8<---------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Secure Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (SAODV) is an extension
     of the AODV routing protocol that can be used to protect the route
     discovery mechanism providing security features like integrity,
     authentication and non-repudiation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->8

But I don't say anything about Denial of Service. If an attacker wants
to do a DoS it will probably find easier to flood the network with
packets or to send a packet every time it detects one it's being sent
(so they'll collide) or just emit interferences with the max power it can.
Then, not even simetric cryptosystems will save you.

	Manel Guerrero

Yes, but my point here is that it is not so important that there
is some possible attack to the hop count integrity, because that is not a key
element to get a route selected among others. It does not give a real benefit
to the attackers.

I thing this is something you find only in the simulation world (that if
you broadcast a RREQ all your neighbors will rebroadcast it at the very
same time and all the packets will collide).
But in the real world, if you use some wireless card they already have
(like the ethernet cards) this small random backoff,
to avoid collisions, for every packet they send.

Since there is no added delay for rebroadcasting, the attackers
have more or less the same chances to be the fastest as if they wouldn't
be bad boys. So tunneling and breaking the hop count does not give
any advantage to the attackers in order to get the traffic going between
them.

If people are using expanding ring, then the attackers have a big chance
to be the fastest. But in scenarios more security demanding the originator
of the RREQ could decide not to use the expanding ring search technique.
And that's it. There is no attack then.

Well, if attackers just by having better radios than the rest able to be in the
faster/shorter path. They don't need to misbehave to be in the path. So then
they are just as good boys which happend to have better radios.
So their route should be selected.

And if an attacker can put himself _in_ the fastest path, then he is in
the fastest path. Although that is not so easy if nodes are moving.
 From experiences with real implementations (not simulations) a communication
between two nodes does not happen through the same path all the time,
it is changing the route quite a lot.

I have never stated than SAODV is able to "preserve availability of
communication between source and destination". Actually in the abstract of
the draft it says:

8<---------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Secure Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (SAODV) is an extension
     of the AODV routing protocol that can be used to protect the route
     discovery mechanism providing security features like integrity,
     authentication and non-repudiation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->8

But I don't say anything about Denial of Service. If an attacker wants
to do a DoS it will probably find easier to flood the network with
packets or to send a packet every time it detects one it's being sent
(so they'll collide) or just emit interferences with the max power it can.
Then, not even simetric cryptosystems will save you.

	Manel Guerrero

Can we agree to simple premises for MANET security?

A).  Its best to run all messages encrypted, i.e. provide a PKI for a MANET that is
       deployed with trusted fixed infrastructure that shares the MANET algorithm.
B).  This means key management is the only REAL issue.
C).  There are plenty of research papers on key management issues for ad hoc
        networks, I suggest the security enthusiests read these.
D).  In the case that the network has no fixed infrastructure, i.e. a pure ad hoc network
       a good solution for key management does not yet exist.  Please find one.

It is silly to talk about what parts of MANET (in this case AODV) messages are
vulnerable.  All messages (payload and control) MUST be encrypted.

Thanks,

Phil

Hello Phil,

I cannot agree to your premises.

I am confident that a reasonable approach can exist,
that does not rely on a trusted fixed infrastructure.

I also do not believe that all data needs to be
encrypted.  Some data is just not that important.
I also do not think that all control messages need
to be encrypted.  In the case of control messages,
however, many of them would be appropriate for
verification by way of authentication data.  Of
course, this is also true for a lot of data.

None of this should be interpreted to mean that I am
against privacy, for applications and protocols where
it is desirable.  But that is a far different assertion
than (A) below.

Regards,
Charlie P.

That's OK, I just want to reduce the polution on the list.  I must advocate
STRONGLY that even if you don't have a PKI or fixed infrastructure to
rely on, all messages MUST be encrypted.  I see no other way to guarantee
against dozens of potential attacks that could occupy this list from now until
eternity.  Also, messages must be authenticated, and this implies that a portable
authenticator must be running on hosts that are pure ad hoc, and for foreign 
nodes, they must be treated as suspect (untrusted) until a manual intervention
by the MANET group is provided (or contact with a trusted certificate authenticator
is made).  I have thought about this for a bit and  and it makes absolutely no
sense to put control or any other message in the clear on a MANET (specifically
a wireless one).  This just invites too many known attacks.

Statements like this can hinder the commercial deployment of MANETs.  We can 
deploy MANETs with trusted infrastrucute peppered in and have pretty 
darn secure networks.  I advocate we specify how to do THIS first, before
we go off waiting for a "known research topic" to materialize into something
useful.  In fact your recent draft for global IPv6 hints at this.

So you can turn off encryption when your are playing games.  Otherwise,
most things MUST be encrypted.  People expected wired equivalent 
privacy from 802.11b for a very good reason (they didn't get it but they
expected it).

IITM, replay, message insertion, stack smashing, should I go?  In a 
commercial implementation of a MANET, where people are paying for
a level of service, ALL packets MUST be encrypted and authenticated.

Yes, I agree, however, the encryption is not as heavy weight in general

Hi Phil,

I'm gonna try to explain why I don't thing that encrypting everything is the
right thing to do in manet in all kind of scenarios.

If in a MANET network all routing messages are encrypted with a symmetric cryptosystem,
it means that everybody that we want to be able to participate in the network has to
know the key. That is not a big problem if we are a 'team' of persons that meet
to let every member of the team to know the 'team-key' and then we go to
play on the ground creating a MANET network. A member of the team trust the other
members of the team, so they assume that a member of the team won't do anything
nasty to the manet communications. They trust and authorize the other members to change
their routing tables.

Maybe this is the best thing to do for military scenarios (besides the problem
of the compromissed nodes and some others).

But now, let's thing that we want to create a MANET network where everybody can participate.
Maybe in a convention, in a meeting room, in a campus, or in our neighborhood.
Then we have a problem, we don't trust the others. We are not a team.
So what do we do now? How do we force everybody to be honest?
Maybe what we can do is to only believe a routing information if the
originator of such information is the destination of the route
(in such a way that if you lie (since you can only lie about yourself) the only
_benefit_ you get is that people is not able to communicate with you.

 From this starting point, for me, the direction is to use an asymetric
cryptosystem (with public an private key pairs) so that the originator
of the route messages signs the message. We don't need to encrypt it because
it is not a secret. What we want is that people will be able to detect forged
routing messages.

When you do that, the main problem you have is that this RREQ or RREP that
you originate and that travels hop to hop has mutable fields. Mutable fields
are the fields or routing messages which value changes during its transmision.
And in manet, the typical one is the hop count. So we cannot sign the hop count
because when we originate the message, it is zero, but after one hop it will
be one and the signature will be broken.

Luckily, hop count changes, but it does in a monotonical way, so still
we can find some ways to secure it (till certain extend) hash chains
in the case of SAODV.


Besides all this, encryption is not costless, so one should only encrypt
what he or she only wants to be readed by the ones who have the key.
So I thing the: "All messages (payload and control) MUST be encrypted"
is quite a strong afirmation, and not correct for most of the possible
manet scenarios.


Best regards,

	Manel Guerrero

Hi Phil,

I'm gonna try to explain why I don't thing that encrypting everything is the
right thing to do in manet in all kind of scenarios.

If in a MANET network all routing messages are encrypted with a symmetric cryptosystem,
it means that everybody that we want to be able to participate in the network has to
know the key. That is not a big problem if we are a 'team' of persons that meet
to let every member of the team to know the 'team-key' and then we go to
play on the ground creating a MANET network. A member of the team trust the other
members of the team, so they assume that a member of the team won't do anything
nasty to the manet communications. They trust and authorize the other members to change
their routing tables.

Maybe this is the best thing to do for military scenarios (besides the problem
of the compromissed nodes and some others).

But now, let's thing that we want to create a MANET network where everybody can participate.
Maybe in a convention, in a meeting room, in a campus, or in our neighborhood.
Then we have a problem, we don't trust the others. We are not a team.
So what do we do now? How do we force everybody to be honest?
Maybe what we can do is to only believe a routing information if the
originator of such information is the destination of the route
(in such a way that if you lie (since you can only lie about yourself) the only
_benefit_ you get is that people is not able to communicate with you.

 From this starting point, for me, the direction is to use an asymetric
cryptosystem (with public an private key pairs) so that the originator
of the route messages signs the message. We don't need to encrypt it because
it is not a secret. What we want is that people will be able to detect forged
routing messages.

When you do that, the main problem you have is that this RREQ or RREP that
you originate and that travels hop to hop has mutable fields. Mutable fields
are the fields or routing messages which value changes during its transmision.
And in manet, the typical one is the hop count. So we cannot sign the hop count
because when we originate the message, it is zero, but after one hop it will
be one and the signature will be broken.

Luckily, hop count changes, but it does in a monotonical way, so still
we can find some ways to secure it (till certain extend) hash chains
in the case of SAODV.


Besides all this, encryption is not costless, so one should only encrypt
what he or she only wants to be readed by the ones who have the key.
So I thing the: "All messages (payload and control) MUST be encrypted"
is quite a strong afirmation, and not correct for most of the possible
manet scenarios.


Best regards,

	Manel Guerrero

Hi Manel,

Thanks for the rebuttal.  I respond below.

Would you agree its the thing to do in commercial money making scenarios where
people are paying for service on a MANET?  Would you agree its the thing to do
when hots spots allow MANETs in public venues like airports, hotels, busses, and
restaurants?

Not necessarily.  It could mean that each node has a "born on certificate" that is stamped into
tamper resistant storage by the OEM.  It could mean that the unit has to periodically reathenticate
to use services besides E911.  It could also be possible to re-imprint the certificate when the 
unit is stolen lost or has been black listed for some reason.

This doesn't scale to well. It would be far better to have an OEM key that is unique and have
routing use that, i.e. all units that agree to some standard, can talk (they can't talk anyway if
they are not standardized right?).

Its the best thing for everything, except gaming, and casual use of devices.  If MANETs
are to succeed, they must succeed in the business world, and this means really REALLY
good security.

If there is a host causing trouble, it had to have a certificate providing non-reduiation so the 
source can identified and black listed by all other nodes, possibly via flooding a black list
request and acheiving group consensus.

Not possible, best bet is to required authentication and non-repudiation.

Better, yet, use the OEM key to encrypt all control messages including the
routing messages.

Routing messages do reveal things.  They reveal who is communicatig to who.
That is simply too much.  They also reveal sequence numbers.  The overhead
for digital signatures is far higher than for block or stream ciphers in embedded
devices right?

Encrypt the message and CRC it if you wish, then this is not a problem.

Is what is being proposed going to cost less or more than encryption?  I
would like to see the analysis on this.

It is probably the only correct solution for "profitable" MANET scenarios,
which are the type I am interested in, since I work for one of the few companies
on the planet attempting to commercialize MANET technologies!

Thanks,

Phil

If I'm getting something for free, and it would cost $0.10/minute to encrypt
it, and the data isn't worth that much (e.g. webcam cows), I don't want
to be required to buy the encryption.

If you offer a solution today that relies on fixed infrastructure,
and people are willing to pay, then that's fine.  My statement
is in no way adversary to your solution.  However, I hope I'm allowed
to believe that other better solutions can exist, even if I don't
have one ready to sell.  I'm realy at a loss to understand what
I said that you find objectionable.

I'd say instead that most things do NOT need to be encrypted.
In fact, I'd say that the way encryption is used in the Internet
today represents a good model for the way things ought to eventually
be for ad hoc networks.  Further, I'd say that as things evolve
in the Internet, we can notice the reasons why.  Those reasons
will also probably apply to ad hoc networks, at least for some
applications.

I didn't parse IITM.  And, commercial implementation doesn't equal
encryption, nor paid service.  In fact, I'd hope we could have
ad hoc radio programming on campus, with zero encryption and cost.
There are so many possibilities!

From the above, I guess you can tell I still believe this is
too restrictive.  I might want to make a commercially viable
MANET that does not enforce encryption for all services.

I don't see how B follows from A.

With most MANET protocols, encrypting data -- end to end -- is not
problematic with proper key management.

Being able to encrypt control data is usually a more difficult problem, 
even with key management.

That is not all to the security: in some cases even byzantine robustness 
(e.g. a military application) might be desirable.

Encryption and such do not solve the problems with trust, e.g. prevent 
someone from blackholing all traffic.

Time for some term clarity.

You get two major items out of security at this level:
- confidentiality
- authenticity (which is a superset of integrity).

Now, divide the traffic on a MANET into two parts: one is the 
application data.  Set it aside; not part of this discussion.  The 
other is all the routing information.

The routing information needs authenticity as a matter of course.
>  I also do not think that all control messages need

So this statement is partially correct.  If it said 'digitally 
signed' instead of 'encrypted' I'd fully agree.
      I can easily envision situations where I'd want the routing 
information to be fairly openly available and others where I'd want 
it encrypted.  But I cannot envision situations (of any scale) where 
I'd want it unauthenticable.

Situation A.  We have a multinational laydown for peacekeeping 
operations -- a lot of infrastructure is contributed by numerous 
coalition partners.  We want to be able to advertise the MANET 
structure to them all (and are willing to risk the Bad Guys cribbing 
the data).  But, while we're willing to let the Bad Guys know what 
our topology is, we're not willing to let them disrupt it by 
spoofing.  Therefore, all the data is authenticated via digital 
signature (for which we have a PKI to support).  Authentication 
failures result in doubt about authenticity but not loss of the data, 
so the consumer of the routing data is in the caveat emptor position 
-- it might be a lesser contributor to the coalition who hasn't got 
act completely together.

Situation B might be another multinational laydown, but this time for 
combat operations.  In this case, topology is a protected asset (it 
would have useful order-of-battle information, somewhat similar to 
what you could get from traffic analysis) and it's shared with a 
smaller number of coalition partners.  In this case I'd want the 
encryption for confidentiality in addition to the digital signature. 
(Note that the PKI overhead is a sunk cost -- I had to buy that for 
the authenticity part of the problem).  In situation A, inability to 
authenticate doesn't render the data unusable, just of doubtful 
origin.  In this situation, inability to decrypt would result in 
inability to use the MANET.

Time for some term clarity.

You get two major items out of security at this level:
- confidentiality
- authenticity (which is a superset of integrity).

Now, divide the traffic on a MANET into two parts: one is the 
application data.  Set it aside; not part of this discussion.  The 
other is all the routing information.

The routing information needs authenticity as a matter of course.
>  I also do not think that all control messages need

So this statement is partially correct.  If it said 'digitally 
signed' instead of 'encrypted' I'd fully agree.
      I can easily envision situations where I'd want the routing 
information to be fairly openly available and others where I'd want 
it encrypted.  But I cannot envision situations (of any scale) where 
I'd want it unauthenticable.

Situation A.  We have a multinational laydown for peacekeeping 
operations -- a lot of infrastructure is contributed by numerous 
coalition partners.  We want to be able to advertise the MANET 
structure to them all (and are willing to risk the Bad Guys cribbing 
the data).  But, while we're willing to let the Bad Guys know what 
our topology is, we're not willing to let them disrupt it by 
spoofing.  Therefore, all the data is authenticated via digital 
signature (for which we have a PKI to support).  Authentication 
failures result in doubt about authenticity but not loss of the data, 
so the consumer of the routing data is in the caveat emptor position 
-- it might be a lesser contributor to the coalition who hasn't got 
act completely together.

Situation B might be another multinational laydown, but this time for 
combat operations.  In this case, topology is a protected asset (it 
would have useful order-of-battle information, somewhat similar to 
what you could get from traffic analysis) and it's shared with a 
smaller number of coalition partners.  In this case I'd want the 
encryption for confidentiality in addition to the digital signature. 
(Note that the PKI overhead is a sunk cost -- I had to buy that for 
the authenticity part of the problem).  In situation A, inability to 
authenticate doesn't render the data unusable, just of doubtful 
origin.  In this situation, inability to decrypt would result in 
inability to use the MANET.

This attack is slightly more powerful than denial of service: the 
attacker is forcing the source to route through him, so there's some 
traffic stealing going on here that is not possible with a pure DoS 
jamming attack at a lower layer.  Not having any kind of a security 
background (except for some petty shoplifting when I was a kid) I guess 
I just don't see the point.  What is the advantage in a providing 
authentication, integrity and non-repudiation if an attacker can still 
trick you into routing where he wants you to?  What exactly are the 
goals that SAODV is trying to achieve with these mechanisms?

A good approach (well, at least in my opinion (;-)) is that of distributed
trust through threshold cryptography. One of our early references on this
topic is:

A good approach (well, at least in my opinion (;-)) is that of distributed
trust through threshold cryptography. One of our early references on this
topic is:

L. Zhou and Z.J. Haas, "Securing Ad Hoc Networks," IEEE Network Magazine,
vol. 13, no.6, November/December 1999

Dear co-workers,

I'm fairly new in this research area (about a year), and I am 
investigating ad hoc routing mechanisms. A kind of dilemma that has 
risen in my mind has driven me to put forward this question 
so that I can capture the general trend that exists within the MANET 
research community.

I am interested to find out whether complexity is thought of a just 
means to achieve further or improved functionality. I am pondering that
the answer to this is not one sided, so if the answer is "gray", would 
it be possible to get some suggestions of cases where simplicity in 
design might be sacrificed for a better performance trade-off. I fear 
that if i give an example some people might stick to that, but 
nevertheless I will give one just to be more colorful:

The use of a Neural network with multiple input feeds might be used 
as a part of a classification system, in order to decide upon the 
suitability of routing paths. This could only be one of many complex 
approaches that may exist within a routing protocol solution.

Please feel free to drop your comments. I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks 

Dimosthenis  (Dimos)

Dear co-workers,

I'm fairly new in this research area (about a year), and I am 
investigating ad hoc routing mechanisms. A kind of dilemma that has 
risen in my mind has driven me to put forward this question 
so that I can capture the general trend that exists within the MANET 
research community.

I am interested to find out whether complexity is thought of a just 
means to achieve further or improved functionality. I am pondering that
the answer to this is not one sided, so if the answer is "gray", would 
it be possible to get some suggestions of cases where simplicity in 
design might be sacrificed for a better performance trade-off. I fear 
that if i give an example some people might stick to that, but 
nevertheless I will give one just to be more colorful:

The use of a Neural network with multiple input feeds might be used 
as a part of a classification system, in order to decide upon the 
suitability of routing paths. This could only be one of many complex 
approaches that may exist within a routing protocol solution.

Please feel free to drop your comments. I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks 

Dimosthenis  (Dimos)

Hi Casey,

I don't see that you have a feasible way to build an attack against
SAODV more powerful than DoS. In the part you have [sniped] in your
reply is where one by one I've been showing why the different attacks
you where suggesting are not feasible.

The only feasible way than an attacker has to make the traffic go
through him is that the chosen path (without misbehaving nodes) would
be through him anyway (so I don't see a big deal with that).

And if a node has bigger antena and that makes him to get more chances
to get the path, that has nothing to do with misbehaving.

And if you don't want this node to listen to your conversations with
another node, what you should use is encryption for the data packets.

SAODV protects routing, not data.

Thanks,

	Manel

Hello Dr. Haas,

Yes I have read this paper and many of the others.  Fascinating stuff, except I see some holes
here.  For instance if I am the first in a conference room and wish to access the projector,
presumably in a PAN/MANET like fashion, I have no fellows to imply that I am trusted right?
Maybe I am misunderstanding something about thresholding though.

Hello Dr. Haas,

Yes I have read this paper and many of the others.  Fascinating stuff, except I see some holes
here.  For instance if I am the first in a conference room and wish to access the projector,
presumably in a PAN/MANET like fashion, I have no fellows to imply that I am trusted right?
Maybe I am misunderstanding something about thresholding though.

Hi Manel,
  This reply is not related to the security discussion (thus, the subject
change).  It has to do with the packet rebroadcast comments in the previous
post.

I have seen this in the real world--specifically with Orinoco 802.11b cards
in ad hoc mode.  (I'm talking specifically about the "pseudo-IBSS" mode,
where the nodes are truly peer-to-peer.)  When the network is lightly
loaded, the rebroadcasts (and subsequent replies) are highly synchronized
and are extremely likely to collide unless additional jitter is added.

I haven't looked at the 802.11 spec in quite a while, but I recall
discovering that the backoff mechanism is only enabled _after_ contention
has been discovered.  If the cards aren't already in contention mode (from
previous traffic), they will just do the usual collision avoidance: they
will all do a carrier sense (synchronized), see no traffic (synchronized),
and transmit their packets (synchronized-------->COLLISION!).  That is, if
they don't sense traffic and aren't already in contention mode, they
transmit immediately.

Note:  even if I have misinterpreted the spec (which is easy to do), I did
see synchronized retransmissions and corrected them with jitter.

Jim

Dear fellow security enthusiasts, (:-)

a few things I would like to contribute to your interesting discussion:

First, it is important to realize that not all security solutions can be 
applied in all ad hoc networking environments. At one extreme, the 
conference room resources can use location authentication, i.e., no access 
constraint other than the mobile device location (e.g., short range IR of 
RF connectivity). At the other extreme, a MANET of trusted military 
devices, can be capable to perform expensive cryptographic operations and 
have all the infrastructure support we can imagine. In short, the 
interaction between nodes is the one that dictates how to do the trust 
management.

Second, the point of crucial importance for the securing MANET, at least as 
far as I am concerned, is to make clear distinction between:
-Security of the MANET-based application.
-Security of the basic networking services.

The challenge is exactly to achieve the latter. And, it has to be done for 
the wide range of network instances between the two above-mentioned 
extremes. And, it has to be done in a way that understands the MANET 
paradigm, and does not transplant secure Internet routing solutions.

This is what seems to be happening with most of the secure routing 
solutions for MANET, as we explain in:

P.Papadimitratos and Z.J. Haas, "Secure Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc 
Networks," SCS Communication Networks and Distributed Systems Modeling and 
Simulation Conference (CNDS 2002), San Antonio, TX, January 27-31, 2002.

The rationale behind the Secure Routing Protocol (SRP) in a few lines is:

Even if you have the appropriate distributed CA instantiation (which you 
can have  - see Zhou & Haas), it is not feasible to cryptographically 
validate every single in-transit control packet, even with the upcoming 
commercial mobile devices.

Even if you have a service- or group- based distribution of credentials, 
the basic network functionality will not be supported only by your trusted 
peers.

Even if you have a heavy-weight crypto-based solution, how do you deal with 
a node that does not comply with a protocol? That is, correct operation 
equals correct connectivity information. And SRP does exactly this, 
avoiding the pitfall of correct is whatever is cryptographically ok.
(BTW, thats the main issue in Internet secure routing s well)

For clarifications, or if you want to hear some possible attacks on the 
discussed protocols (:-), please, dont hesitate

Cheers,

Panos

Dear fellow security enthusiasts, (:-)

a few things I would like to contribute to your interesting discussion:

First, it is important to realize that not all security solutions can be 
applied in all ad hoc networking environments. At one extreme, the 
conference room resources can use location authentication, i.e., no access 
constraint other than the mobile device location (e.g., short range IR of 
RF connectivity). At the other extreme, a MANET of trusted military 
devices, can be capable to perform expensive cryptographic operations and 
have all the infrastructure support we can imagine. In short, the 
interaction between nodes is the one that dictates how to do the trust 
management.

Second, the point of crucial importance for the securing MANET, at least as 
far as I am concerned, is to make clear distinction between:
-Security of the MANET-based application.
-Security of the basic networking services.

The challenge is exactly to achieve the latter. And, it has to be done for 
the wide range of network instances between the two above-mentioned 
extremes. And, it has to be done in a way that understands the MANET 
paradigm, and does not transplant secure Internet routing solutions.

This is what seems to be happening with most of the secure routing 
solutions for MANET, as we explain in:

P.Papadimitratos and Z.J. Haas, "Secure Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc 
Networks," SCS Communication Networks and Distributed Systems Modeling and 
Simulation Conference (CNDS 2002), San Antonio, TX, January 27-31, 2002.

The rationale behind the Secure Routing Protocol (SRP) in a few lines is:

Even if you have the appropriate distributed CA instantiation (which you 
can have  - see Zhou & Haas), it is not feasible to cryptographically 
validate every single in-transit control packet, even with the upcoming 
commercial mobile devices.

Even if you have a service- or group- based distribution of credentials, 
the basic network functionality will not be supported only by your trusted 
peers.

Even if you have a heavy-weight crypto-based solution, how do you deal with 
a node that does not comply with a protocol? That is, correct operation 
equals correct connectivity information. And SRP does exactly this, 
avoiding the pitfall of correct is whatever is cryptographically ok.
(BTW, thats the main issue in Internet secure routing s well)

For clarifications, or if you want to hear some possible attacks on the 
discussed protocols (:-), please, dont hesitate

Cheers,

Panos

I do not quite agree with this distinction: the security of the MANET-based
application *depends*
on the security of the basic networking services as least as DoS attacks are
concerned...
If the networking services can not protect you from DoS attacks there is not
much you can do at the
application level...isn't it?

Hello Phil,

We've actually found one;-)

Our proposal focuses on AODV but
actually could be used with any other MANET protocol. It is
basically a scheme to establish an authenticated secret key between two
hosts that does not have access to an infrastructure (PKI, or others...).


Protecting AODV against Impersonation attacks (or how
to establish a secure tunnel between 2 hosts on a MANET)
=============================================
Claude Castelluccia and Gabriel Montenegro.
April 2002.

1 *Problem statement:
--------------------
- How to protect AODV from impersonation attack: i.e.
how can host H1 that is communicating with H2 over an
insecure Adhoc network that uses AODV have the assurance that when
they receive packets from H2 they actually come from H2 and not for
an impersonator even if the routing insfracture/protocol is insecure...

In current AODV, H1 establishes a route to H2 by sending a RREQ to H2 that
will then replies with a RREP. But actually anyone (a malicious host
on the path or not) can reply to the RREQ and
redirect the packets addressed to H2 to him (eventhough H1 thinks it is
communicating with H2). Furthermore if H1 receives several RREP, how can it
select the right one?

The basic solution is:
- the node uses a CGA (Crypto Generated Addresses) or CGI
(Crypto. Generated Identifiers) [SUCV,CAM]  as address (a CGI is
a identifier is defined as a hash of a public key).
- whenever a host H2 sends packets to H1, it must disclosed its public key
and
 it musts signed its packets (by setting
the mutable field ie hop counts to zero or as specified in sAODV) with its
CGA private key...

As a result, the destination, H1, can verified that the packets have
actually been sent by H2 . This is achieved by verifying that the CGA ou CGI
was generated from the public key and that the signatures are valid.

This solution is not very efficient and requires one signature generation/
verification per packets. This is definetly not acceptable.

A Better solution is:
- H1 and H2 established a secure channel (tunnel) and then encrypt or
authenticated (with a HMAC) their packets with the symetric key that
was generated.

Therefore the problem can now be stated as follows:
- how can two hosts H1 and H2, identified by their address,
 establish a secure (IPSec) tunnel over an insecure adhoc network
that uses AODV.


2 * Proposal description:
---------------------------------
2.1 + requirements:

- H1 and H2 uses CGA or CGI (CGI_H1 and CGI_H2)
 i.e  CGI_H1 =  hashx(PublicKey_H1, counter_H1) x=64 (for CGA) or 128 (for
CGI).
 and CGI_H2 =  hashx(PublicKey_H2, counter_H2)

Note: it is not clear today if a IPv6 address is really needed in MANET.
If this is the case then CGA must be used otherwise CGI (128 bit identifier)
is better since they are cryptographically stronger.

2.2 + protocol description:

- H1 initiates a RREQ, includes in it its PublicKey_H1, counter_H1,
g^x.modp (i.e. a DH value) and an nonce N1 (RREQ id could be used instead)
, and signs the whole message with its PrivateKey_H1.
The RREQ must have the newly defined D flag (see Section 2.3).
set. This flag specifies that only H2  is allowed to reply to this RREQ
with a RREP.

- When H2 receives the RREQ,  it verifies that H1 owns its address and
replies with
  a RREP that contains PublicKey_H2, counter_H2,  g^y. modp, N1 (i.e. RREQ
id), and
signs the whole message with its PrivateKey_H2. H2 also derives the secret
key, Ke that would
be used to establish a secure channel between CGI_H1 and CGI_H2.
For example, Ke  could be defined as follows:
 Ke = hash_x(g^xy mod p)  (where x is the size of the generated key).


- When H2 receives RREP, it verifies that H2 owns its address and
derives the secret Key, Ke.

From then on, the "standard" AODV protocol is used until the SA needs to be
refreshed.

As a result of this exchange, CGI_H1 (resp. CGI_2) has the assurance that it
is talking to CGI_H2 (resp. CGI_H1) and a secure tunnel (i.e. an
authenticated
symetric key) is established between
CGI_H1 and CGI_H2 that can be use to secure (authenticate + encrypt) control
or
data traffic.

2.3 + the "D" flag

-The D (Destination) flag has been added in the RREQ because in the above
protocol,
when H1 sends a RREQ, it wants to make sure that it gets a reply from H2
itself
and not from an intermediate host that has an active route to H2 (as this is
possible in current AODV draft). In fact, RREQ and RREP
carries information (DH exponentiation value) that is used to establish a
symetric key between H1 and H2.
If an intermediate node replies, H2 won't be able to derive the symetric key
and the
protocol will fail.

3 + Conclusion
--------------
We propose a protocol that allows two hosts H1 and H2 to establish a secure
tunnel
over an insecure Adhoc network that uses AODV.  Our solution relies on CGI
and the
definition of a new flag (the D flag) in the RREQ packet format.

Our proposal does not use any certificate (and therefore PKI) and does not
require
any TTP support. It is therefore well adapted to adhoc environment and very
scalable.

Note that since the routing infrascture is insecure, our proposol does not
protect H1 and
H2 against DoS attacks. In fact, in our proposal, as in AODV, an attacker
 can easily redirect/hijacked the packets from H1 or H2. Protecting from
these DoS attacks  is a different (or very complex) issue that can
potentially solved by
securing the routing infrastructure or by using schemes that use redundancy
(i.e several paths).
However, even under DoS attacks,  when H1 (and resp. H2) receives a packet
from H2 (resp. H1) it has the assurance that it was not sent by an
impersonator.
That was the goal of our work.

oups, i have just realized that i've sent an old (very drafty)
version of the draft.
Please ignore my previous email and consider the draft attached to
this email...sorry about that...
regards,
Claude.

PS: FYI i'll be travelling for the next 10 days and not sure whether i'll
have an Internet access...but Gabriel (my co-author) will reply to
your comments (or  i'll reply when i'll be back...)

PS: BTW we plan to submit this draft to the AODV workshop in Lausanne
(after MobiHoc)
the submission deadline is April 30th...it would be great to have your
comments
before this deadline to possibly integrate them in the draft...thanks in
advance.

Claude.

Protecting AODV against Impersonation attacks (or how
to establish a secure tunnel between 2 hosts on a MANET)
======================================================
Claude Castelluccia and Gabriel Montenegro.
April 2002.

1 *Problem statement:
--------------------
- How to protect AODV from the impersonation attack: i.e.
how can a host H1 that is communicating with a host H2 over an
insecure Adhoc network that uses AODV has the assurance that when
it receives packets from H2 they actually come from H2 and not from
an impersonator even if the routing insfracture/protocol is insecure...

In current AODV [AODV,AODV6], H1 establishes a route to H2 by sending
a RREQ message to H2 that will then replies with a RREP. But actually anyone
(ecen a malicious host, on the path or not) can reply to the RREQ and
redirect the packets addressed to H2 to him (eventhough H1 thinks
it is communicating with H2). Furthermore if H1 receives several RREP,
how can it select the right one?

The basic solution is:
- the node H2 uses a CGA (Crypto Generated Address) or CGI
(Crypto. Generated Identifier) [SUCV,CAM]  as address (a CGI is
an identifier that is defined as the hash of a public key).
- whenever a H2 sends packets to H1, it must disclosed its public key
and sign its packets (by setting
the mutable fields (ie hop counts) to zero or as specified in sAODV [SAODV])
with its CGA private key...

As a result, the destination, H1, can verify that the packets have
actually been sent by H2 . This is achieved by verifying that the CGA
or CGI was generated from the public key and that the signatures
are valid.

This solution solves the problem but is not very efficient because
it requires one signature generation/verification per packets.
This is not acceptable.

A Better solution is:
- H1 and H2 establish a secure channel (tunnel) and then encrypt or
authenticate (with a HMAC) their packets with the symetric key that
was generated.

Therefore the problem can now be stated as follows:
- how can two hosts H1 and H2, identified by their address,
establish a secure (IPSec) tunnel over an insecure adhoc network
that uses AODV.


2 * Proposal description:
---------------------------------
2.1 + requirements:

Both H1 and H2 define a CGA or CGI, respectively CGI_H1 and
CGI_H2 as follows:
 -CGI_H1 =  hashx(PublicKey_H1, counter_H1) x=64 (for CGA)
or 128 (for CGI).
 -CGI_H2 =  hashx(PublicKey_H2, counter_H2)

where PublicKey_H1 (resp. PublicKey_H2) is a public key
associated with H1 (resp. H2).

Note: it is not clear today if a IPv6 address is really needed in
MANET.
If this is the case then CGA must be used otherwise CGI
(128 bit identifier) is better since they are cryptographically
 stronger.

2.2 + protocol description:

- H1 initiates a RREQ, includes in it its PublicKey_H1, counter_H1,
g^x.modp (i.e. a DH exponentiation value) and an nonce N1 (RREQ id
could be used instead), and signs the whole message with its
PrivateKey_H1.
The RREQ must have the newly defined D flag (see Section 2.3).
set. This flag specifies that only H2  is allowed to reply to this
RREQ.

- When H2 receives the RREQ,  it verifies that H1 owns its address
(i.e. CGI_H2 was generated from PublicKey_H2 and the signature is valid).
It then replies with a RREP that contains PublicKey_H2, counter_H2,
g^y. modp, N1 (i.e. RREQid), and signs the whole message with its
PrivateKey_H2. H2 also derives the secret key, Ke that would
be used to establish a secure channel between CGI_H1 and CGI_H2.
For example, Ke  could be defined as follows:
Ke = hash_x(g^xy mod p)  (where x is the size of the generated key).

- When H1 receives RREP, it verifies that H2 owns its address and
derives the secret Key, Ke.

From then on, the "standard" AODV protocol is used until the SA
needs to be refreshed.

As a result of this exchange, CGI_H1 (resp. CGI_2) has the assurance
that it is talking to CGI_H2 (resp. CGI_H1) and a secure tunnel
(i.e. an authenticated symetric key) is established between
CGI_H1 and CGI_H2 that can be used to secure (authenticate + encrypt)
control or data traffic.

2.3 + the "D" flag

-The D (Destination) flag has been added to the RREQ packet format
because in our proposal, when H1 sends a RREQ it wants to make sure
that it gets a reply from H2 itself and not from an intermediate host
that may have an active route to H2 (as this is possible in current
AODV draft). In fact, RREQ and RREP carry information (DH
exponentiation value) that are used to establish the symetric key
between H1 and H2. If an intermediate node replies, H2 won't be able
to derive the symetric key and the protocol will fail.

3 + Conclusion
--------------
We propose a protocol that allows two random hosts H1 and H2 to
establish a secure tunnel over an insecure Adhoc network that uses
AODV.  Our solution relies on CGI and the definition of a new flag
(the D flag) in the RREQ packet format.

Our proposal does not use any certificate (and therefore PKI) and
does not require any TTP support. It is therefore well adapted to
adhoc environments and very scalable.

Note that since the routing infrasstructure is insecure, our proposol
does not protect H1 and H2 against DoS attacks. In fact, in our
proposal, as in AODV, an attacker can easily redirect/hijacked the
packets from H1 or H2. Protecting from these DoS attacks  is a
different (or very complex) issue that can potentially solved by
securing the routing infrastructure or by using schemes that use
redundancy (i.e several paths).
However, even under DoS attacks,  whenever H1 (and resp. H2)
receives a packet from H2 (resp. H1) it has the assurance that it
was not sent by an impersonator. That is the goal of our proposal.

oups, i have just realized that i've sent an old (very drafty)
version of the draft.
Please ignore my previous email and consider the draft attached to
this email...sorry about that...
regards,
Claude.

PS: FYI i'll be travelling for the next 10 days and not sure whether i'll
have an Internet access...but Gabriel (my co-author) will reply to
your comments (or  i'll reply when i'll be back...)

PS: BTW we plan to submit this draft to the AODV workshop in Lausanne
(after MobiHoc)
the submission deadline is April 30th...it would be great to have your
comments
before this deadline to possibly integrate them in the draft...thanks in
advance.

Claude.

Protecting AODV against Impersonation attacks (or how
to establish a secure tunnel between 2 hosts on a MANET)
======================================================
Claude Castelluccia and Gabriel Montenegro.
April 2002.

1 *Problem statement:
--------------------
- How to protect AODV from the impersonation attack: i.e.
how can a host H1 that is communicating with a host H2 over an
insecure Adhoc network that uses AODV has the assurance that when
it receives packets from H2 they actually come from H2 and not from
an impersonator even if the routing insfracture/protocol is insecure...

In current AODV [AODV,AODV6], H1 establishes a route to H2 by sending
a RREQ message to H2 that will then replies with a RREP. But actually anyone
(ecen a malicious host, on the path or not) can reply to the RREQ and
redirect the packets addressed to H2 to him (eventhough H1 thinks
it is communicating with H2). Furthermore if H1 receives several RREP,
how can it select the right one?

The basic solution is:
- the node H2 uses a CGA (Crypto Generated Address) or CGI
(Crypto. Generated Identifier) [SUCV,CAM]  as address (a CGI is
an identifier that is defined as the hash of a public key).
- whenever a H2 sends packets to H1, it must disclosed its public key
and sign its packets (by setting
the mutable fields (ie hop counts) to zero or as specified in sAODV [SAODV])
with its CGA private key...

As a result, the destination, H1, can verify that the packets have
actually been sent by H2 . This is achieved by verifying that the CGA
or CGI was generated from the public key and that the signatures
are valid.

This solution solves the problem but is not very efficient because
it requires one signature generation/verification per packets.
This is not acceptable.

A Better solution is:
- H1 and H2 establish a secure channel (tunnel) and then encrypt or
authenticate (with a HMAC) their packets with the symetric key that
was generated.

Therefore the problem can now be stated as follows:
- how can two hosts H1 and H2, identified by their address,
establish a secure (IPSec) tunnel over an insecure adhoc network
that uses AODV.


2 * Proposal description:
---------------------------------
2.1 + requirements:

Both H1 and H2 define a CGA or CGI, respectively CGI_H1 and
CGI_H2 as follows:
 -CGI_H1 =  hashx(PublicKey_H1, counter_H1) x=64 (for CGA)
or 128 (for CGI).
 -CGI_H2 =  hashx(PublicKey_H2, counter_H2)

where PublicKey_H1 (resp. PublicKey_H2) is a public key
associated with H1 (resp. H2).

Note: it is not clear today if a IPv6 address is really needed in
MANET.
If this is the case then CGA must be used otherwise CGI
(128 bit identifier) is better since they are cryptographically
 stronger.

2.2 + protocol description:

- H1 initiates a RREQ, includes in it its PublicKey_H1, counter_H1,
g^x.modp (i.e. a DH exponentiation value) and an nonce N1 (RREQ id
could be used instead), and signs the whole message with its
PrivateKey_H1.
The RREQ must have the newly defined D flag (see Section 2.3).
set. This flag specifies that only H2  is allowed to reply to this
RREQ.

- When H2 receives the RREQ,  it verifies that H1 owns its address
(i.e. CGI_H2 was generated from PublicKey_H2 and the signature is valid).
It then replies with a RREP that contains PublicKey_H2, counter_H2,
g^y. modp, N1 (i.e. RREQid), and signs the whole message with its
PrivateKey_H2. H2 also derives the secret key, Ke that would
be used to establish a secure channel between CGI_H1 and CGI_H2.
For example, Ke  could be defined as follows:
Ke = hash_x(g^xy mod p)  (where x is the size of the generated key).

- When H1 receives RREP, it verifies that H2 owns its address and
derives the secret Key, Ke.

From then on, the "standard" AODV protocol is used until the SA
needs to be refreshed.

As a result of this exchange, CGI_H1 (resp. CGI_2) has the assurance
that it is talking to CGI_H2 (resp. CGI_H1) and a secure tunnel
(i.e. an authenticated symetric key) is established between
CGI_H1 and CGI_H2 that can be used to secure (authenticate + encrypt)
control or data traffic.

2.3 + the "D" flag

-The D (Destination) flag has been added to the RREQ packet format
because in our proposal, when H1 sends a RREQ it wants to make sure
that it gets a reply from H2 itself and not from an intermediate host
that may have an active route to H2 (as this is possible in current
AODV draft). In fact, RREQ and RREP carry information (DH
exponentiation value) that are used to establish the symetric key
between H1 and H2. If an intermediate node replies, H2 won't be able
to derive the symetric key and the protocol will fail.

3 + Conclusion
--------------
We propose a protocol that allows two random hosts H1 and H2 to
establish a secure tunnel over an insecure Adhoc network that uses
AODV.  Our solution relies on CGI and the definition of a new flag
(the D flag) in the RREQ packet format.

Our proposal does not use any certificate (and therefore PKI) and
does not require any TTP support. It is therefore well adapted to
adhoc environments and very scalable.

Note that since the routing infrasstructure is insecure, our proposol
does not protect H1 and H2 against DoS attacks. In fact, in our
proposal, as in AODV, an attacker can easily redirect/hijacked the
packets from H1 or H2. Protecting from these DoS attacks  is a
different (or very complex) issue that can potentially solved by
securing the routing infrastructure or by using schemes that use
redundancy (i.e several paths).
However, even under DoS attacks,  whenever H1 (and resp. H2)
receives a packet from H2 (resp. H1) it has the assurance that it
was not sent by an impersonator. That is the goal of our proposal.

Hi Jim,

I agree with you, jitter is important. The IEEE 802.11 can support some
traffic burstiness but it is limited (it prefers poisson traffic). The
routing protocol should avoid to stress the MAC protocol with too bursty
traffics.

Claude,

Nice stuff. I am relatively new in security considerations, sorry if I ask
naive questions. Why H1 and H2 must exchange their public keys and
signatures in RREQ and RREP messages. It cannot be done in simple data
packets after route discovery? I don't see the plus of involving the routing
protocol.

Well, the MAC is going to experience high burstiness anyway (self-similar
fractal patterned data) if its carrying IP traffic.  I don't see the burstiness of
the routing packets affecting this one way or another.  To me its the chattiness
(frequency of route control messages) is what the bigger affect on performance
(at least according to my traffic models, routing overhead is only a small 
percentage of the traffic when the MANET is not too big).  I agree that in
large MANETs this could get to be an issue but you are more like to run
out of bandwidth before you smash your queues with bursty route messags.

Hi Fred,

Your draft titled "An outsider's view of MANET" 
<draft-baker-manet-review-01>, contains the following paragraph:

  TBRPF is interesting, and should work correctly, although the
  operational utility of some of its optimizations may be open to
  question in a given network.  SRI has aggressively marketed TBRPF and
  its IPRs to the working group.  The fact that a patent has been
  applied for on certain aspects is, however, severely limiting
  politically.  If there is any way in which the IETF is absolutely
  predictable, it is that when confronted with a choice between a
  proposal encumbered with IPR issues and an unencumbered proposal, it
  will choose the unencumbered one.

Your statement "SRI has aggressively marketed TBRPF and its IPRs
to the working group" seems to imply that SRI wants to retain
IP rights even if TBRPF becomes an IETF standard. 
That is not true.  As per our Patent Rights Statement in the
TBRPF draft, we will relinquish all patent rights if TBRPF
becomes a standard. In addition, anyone may implement TBRPF,
or use our software, for purposes related to IETF standardization.
(This is true even if TBRPF is placed on "experimental track"
for an arbitrarily long period of time.)

The purpose of SRI's patent application is to retain IP rights if 
TBRPF does NOT become a standard.  Why should SRI give up its rights 
to TBRPF if it is not accepted by the IETF, but nonetheless is
useful in some situations and a valuable asset to the company? 

Does your statement "when confronted with a choice between a proposal 
encumbered with IPR issues and an unencumbered proposal, it will choose 
the unencumbered one", still apply when all IP rights are to be 
relinquished upon standardization?  If so, can you give me an example?

Under these conditions, I would not say we have "agressively marketed"
TBPRF, but we have agressively demonstrated the benefits of TBRPF versus 
other protocols, as part of our obligations to our government clients, 
who requested that we work toward the standardization of a higher 
performance protocol for military networks.

Salut Philippe,

There are at least two good reasons for combining it with the routing
protocol:
1- It might help to solve  some DoS attacks....
For exemple, let's say H1 sends a RREQ for H2 and receives
10 RREPs (9 malicious one and on legitimate one)...how can
he select the right one?? With our approach H1 will be able to
identify the right RREP because it is signed by H2...and will therefore
be able to perform the route discovery correctly...

(note that possibly the intermediate may also verify the RREP validity
before updatin their routing table...)
2- It is more efficient is term of bandwidth utilization...We use 2 messages
instead
of 4 messages....

voila,
Regards,
Claude.

>> 3 + Conclusion
>> --------------
>> We propose a protocol that allows two random hosts H1 and H2 to
>> establish a secure tunnel over an insecure Adhoc network that uses
>> AODV.  Our solution relies on CGI and the definition of a new flag
>> (the D flag) in the RREQ packet format.
>>
>> Our proposal does not use any certificate (and therefore PKI) and
>> does not require any TTP support. It is therefore well adapted to
>> adhoc environments and very scalable.
>>
>> Note that since the routing infrasstructure is insecure, our proposol
>> does not protect H1 and H2 against DoS attacks. In fact, in our
>> proposal, as in AODV, an attacker can easily redirect/hijacked the
>> packets from H1 or H2. Protecting from these DoS attacks  is a
>> different (or very complex) issue that can potentially solved by
>> securing the routing infrastructure or by using schemes that use
>> redundancy (i.e several paths).
>> However, even under DoS attacks,  whenever H1 (and resp. H2)
>> receives a packet from H2 (resp. H1) it has the assurance that it
>> was not sent by an impersonator. That is the goal of our proposal.

Hi Phil,

I think the burstiness caused by fractal patterns of traffic (TCP for
example) is by far much much smoother than the burstiness incurred when 10
nodes or more strive to rebroadcast at the same time (1000% peak). CSMA/CA
hates that kind of traffic and lot of packets may be lost due to collisions.
This is not a traffic percentage that matter with this respect but the
concentration of traffic on very small periods of time. And since it is
control traffic, it may impact on the reliability of the routing protocol
itself even if at the end, the control traffic average may be low.

Philippe

Salut Claude,

I thought the aim of your proposal was limited to opening a secure tunnel
through an unsecure ad hoc network. Now I understand that you may want to
secure the ad hoc network itself, and in this case it makes sense to
authenticate the control traffic with public key and signature. If the
intermediate nodes must also check signature of each RREP and RREQ this may
take some more resources but much less than if it were to be done on a per
data packet basis. There is still something I probably miss, what does
prevent an intruder to have a public key and a private key as well?

Regards,
Philippe

Salut Claude,

I thought the aim of your proposal was limited to opening a secure tunnel
through an unsecure ad hoc network. Now I understand that you may want to
secure the ad hoc network itself, and in this case it makes sense to
authenticate the control traffic with public key and signature. If the
intermediate nodes must also check signature of each RREP and RREQ this may
take some more resources but much less than if it were to be done on a per
data packet basis. There is still something I probably miss, what does
prevent an intruder to have a public key and a private key as well?

Regards,
Philippe

NOTE: This comment has been cross posted to NEMO/MANET, so be careful with
responses.

The draft draft-wakikawa-manet-globalv6-00.txt advocates adding an M-bit to the
router solicitation message which allows source IPv6 DAD'd addresses for link
local addresses to be forwarded over a MANET to an Internet gateway.

Rather than mucking with the solicitation and advertisements, an alternative might be
the following.  At least this seems to work for me.

1).  Allow the host to own a globally routable MIPv6 home address (possibly with its
      own DNS entry).
2).  The mobile MUST use this home address when forming a MANET.
3).  The mobile MUST be a MIPv6 client.
4).  In the mobile's HA coverage area, assuming a set of fixed MANET wireless routers
      supply this, the node will be reachable.
5).  When the node wanders to a foreign MANET coverage area with a different subnet,
      it may acquire a COA from DHCPv6, and be routable on that MANET subnet under
      that gateway.
6).  Let's postpone the inevitable security discussion for the moment.

It seems to me, that this has the desired effect of global connectivity for MANETs, does
not require any new messages, can be built today, and solves the NEMO problem as
well as the MANET global connectivity problem.  But then again, I could be missing
something.  Gentlefolk, start your flame throwers!!!

Thanks,

Phil Neumiller

Aaaw, why not?  It seems that *if* the MN has this MIPv6 home address in its
hip pocket doing nothing, it COULD be used for MANET addressing since it
is guaranteed to be unique.  NOTE:  I am not suggesting precluding the 
autoconfigured address, just suggesting the use of the MIPv6 home address as
a viable option.

Yes, and that is LIKELY to be be COA *if* the MN is indeed a MIPv6 client
right?  Furthermore, the COA is likely to be gotten from DHCPv6 right?

For NEMO:
My assumption is that you either have a mobile network with a gateway node
that speaks MANET on the inside and MAY speak OSPF or BGP (throwing
Jim a bone) on the outside of the NEMO.  Alternatively, it may simply be a
BOOTp/DHCP relay that acquires its address from DHCPv6 and routes packets
to the MANET inside the NEMO.

Either way you slice that it comes out allowing global connectivity of the MNNs
or MNs or whatever you want to call the hosts.  BTW, we should also consider
the situation where the transceiver (assuming wireless) has its own IP address
(MANET routable) and the host either has the MIPv6 home address or COA.

Except for the fact that I like the idea of using the COA as the MANET routing address as
well...

OK, so what you are saying is that M-bit is still needed for stateless autoconfiguration.
What is the advantage of stateless autoconfiguraion to a MANET?  Isn't DaD going to
be a lot harder?  Also, it seems that when the MN is handing off between domains it
may have to go into an expanded ring search.  This is pretty yucky for smooth/seamless/
soft/fluffy handovers.  I prefer my stateful method for this reason for MANET's that 
provide infrastructures.  What say you?

For NEMO:
My assumption is that you either have a mobile network with a gateway node
that speaks MANET on the inside and MAY speak OSPF or BGP (throwing
Jim a bone) on the outside of the NEMO.  Alternatively, it may simply be a
BOOTp/DHCP relay that acquires its address from DHCPv6 and routes packets
to the MANET inside the NEMO.

Either way you slice that it comes out allowing global connectivity of the MNNs
or MNs or whatever you want to call the hosts.  BTW, we should also consider
the situation where the transceiver (assuming wireless) has its own IP address
(MANET routable) and the host either has the MIPv6 home address or COA.

Except for the fact that I like the idea of using the COA as the MANET routing address as
well...

OK, so what you are saying is that M-bit is still needed for stateless autoconfiguration.
What is the advantage of stateless autoconfiguraion to a MANET?  Isn't DaD going to
be a lot harder?  Also, it seems that when the MN is handing off between domains it
may have to go into an expanded ring search.  This is pretty yucky for smooth/seamless/
soft/fluffy handovers.  I prefer my stateful method for this reason for MANET's that 
provide infrastructures.  What say you?

I don't think this is acceptable, nor in the spirit of IPv6 address
autoconfiguration.  I have always thought that any IPv6 node should
be able to use any address that it can successfully (and correcctly)
configure.

What if it doesn't want to use its home address, and just wants
to use a fixed address in the foreign domain that happens to be
extended at some wireless access point into an ad hoc network?

I could not quite parse this.  I guess it supposes that there is a
home agent with a wireless interface.  I also guess that you are

Ahh!  Finally we have total agreement :-)

It is our purpose to provide for stateless autoconfiguration
as well as stateful autoconfiguration.  So, I reckon that
both have to be specified.  I also guess that eventually we
will need some pretty simple text about DHCPv6 operation in
the Globalv6 draft.

I certainly agree that it should be a viable, and even preferred, option.

Of course, I like this idea also!  In fact, if the mobile node has a
care-of address and is using Mobile IP, then this is almost definitional.

The advantage is that it can work completely without infrastructure,
including without DHCP.  I think that DHCP is infrastructure.

>                                  Isn't DaD going to  be a lot harder?

Well, it's certainly a lot more error-prone.  But since we're expecting
it to be unnecessary with probability (1 - 2^(-64)), the problem is not
SO severe as it might be otherwise.  And, DAD will work whenever the
network can reasonably support it (by, for instance, being connected).

It could well be that stateful is better in many situations, but that
is a lot different than saying it has to be mandated in all situations.
And, I still like the idea of infrastructureless operation.  What happens
when such an infrastructureless network finally makes contact with a
gateway?  Here, it's debatable about what to do with applications that
are already running using an address which was statelessly autoconfigured
before the contact was made.  DHCP almost certainly can't be the whole answer.

I certainly agree that it should be a viable, and even preferred, option.

I agree with your first statement.  More on the second one down below.

Of course, I like this idea also!  In fact, if the mobile node has a
care-of address and is using Mobile IP, then this is almost definitional.

The advantage is that it can work completely without infrastructure,
including without DHCP.  I think that DHCP is infrastructure.

Well, it's certainly a lot more error-prone.  But since we're expecting
it to be unnecessary with probability (1 - 2^(-64)), the problem is not
SO severe as it might be otherwise.  And, DAD will work whenever the
network can reasonably support it (by, for instance, being connected).

It could well be that stateful is better in many situations, but that
is a lot different than saying it has to be mandated in all situations.
And, I still like the idea of infrastructureless operation.  What happens
when such an infrastructureless network finally makes contact with a
gateway?  Here, it's debatable about what to do with applications that
are already running using an address which was statelessly autoconfigured
before the contact was made.  DHCP almost certainly can't be the whole answer.

Here is where we differ.  We could make it a MUST to be a MIPv6
client to be globally connectable and NEMO'able (I can hear the moans!).
If we did that... then when MNs are operating in an infrastructureless
MANET, they simply use their MIPv6 home addresses for their address.
Now when this infrastructureless MN wanders into its home network its 
all ready to route both as a MANET node and as a MIPv6 client.
If it happens to wander into a foreign network, it by definition MUST acquire
its COA, and it must now route MANET wise with the COA rather than
the home address.  Did I mention DHCP anywhere here? :-)  DHCPCOULD
be used to acquire the COA and that would be convenient.  Howz that
sound?

If you can sell it, then it's fine with me.  The more Mobile IPv6,
the better.  However, I think it is very helpful to understand at
a very deep level that address autoconfiguration is different than
Mobile IPv6, and also that Internet Gateway operation for mobile ad-hoc
networks is also different than Mobile IPv6.  Similarly, I would be
very leery of making extensions to Mobile IPv6 to support ad hoc
networks.  I wouldn't categorically reject the idea, but it would
require a lot of justification.

Plus, my example about transient connection to the Internet by a
previously autoconfigured ad-hoc network needs to fit into whatever
scheme is eventually devised.

Charlie P.

Right, I will keep the audience beyond the transmission range of the

I mean that they are two different things. A declaration of independence 
was not my intention :-).
The differentiation is important in MANET, because there is no fixed 
infrastructure that can be expected
to operate correctly, making security solutions from the transport layer 
and above a reasonable choice.
So, of course, it's much easier to abuse the MANET routing protocol and 
cause a DoS, than attacking SSH.

Such protocols, developed to authenticate multicast streams, have specific 
assumptions and requirements that have to 'fit' (or forced to fit...)  in 
the specific MANET instance, and that's something I
am not sure we can do.

Ok, let me try a simple one on S-AODV, and let me know what you think.

For example, every intermediate node (IN) that overheard a fresh enough 
RREP to a destination (D) can reply to a query from S (with RREQ 
destination sequence number  <=) claiming an arbitrary IN -> D hop count. 
In our case, it's best for the malicious node to make this as short as 
possible, i.e., 1. S will most probably accept this reply, which was 
returned fast, it is fresh, and it will deter other RREP's with the correct 
but higher hop count.

We never disregard MIP6 in the draft, we've mentioned the operation of
MIP6 in Appendix. But we do not want to force MIP6. This looks more
like operational issue (someone may not want to use MIP6 on MANET) .

What is the difference between COA and autoconfigured IPv6 address?
If node is MIP6 capable node, the address can be called COA. If the
node is not MIP6 capable, the address can be called IPv6 autoconfigured address.
There is no quite difference for these address to me.

We do not limit adduress acquiring method (just use DHCP) on MANET.
In the draft, we present two way to aquire global address from Gateway.
So DHCP will be third possible way, but DHCP need additional server on MANET.
But I think some documents will be needed as Charlie said.

We expect nodes to access gateway before it sending packets to the
Internet. Then gateway can examine whether the destination is locates
in MANET or in the Internet. 
see section 9.1 "Route examination during communciation".

When node discover gateway, gateway records node's reverse route at the same time.
If we use BOOTp/DHCP, how can gateway record its reverse route?

For address aquisition, DAD will be done for link-local address by
draft-ietf-manet-autocon-01.txt.  So we may eliminate DAD operation

We never disregard MIP6 in the draft, we've mentioned the operation of
MIP6 in Appendix. But we do not want to force MIP6. This looks more
like operational issue (someone may not want to use MIP6 on MANET) .

What is the difference between COA and autoconfigured IPv6 address?
If node is MIP6 capable node, the address can be called COA. If the
node is not MIP6 capable, the address can be called IPv6 autoconfigured address.
There is no quite difference for these address to me.

We do not limit adduress acquiring method (just use DHCP) on MANET.
In the draft, we present two way to aquire global address from Gateway.
So DHCP will be third possible way, but DHCP need additional server on MANET.
But I think some documents will be needed as Charlie said.

We expect nodes to access gateway before it sending packets to the
Internet. Then gateway can examine whether the destination is locates
in MANET or in the Internet. 
see section 9.1 "Route examination during communciation".

When node discover gateway, gateway records node's reverse route at the same time.
If we use BOOTp/DHCP, how can gateway record its reverse route?

For address aquisition, DAD will be done for link-local address by
draft-ietf-manet-autocon-01.txt.  So we may eliminate DAD operation
for global address, if global address is generated by global prefix
and host ID(EUI64).

Hello, 

How does a node knows which of its interfaces are in "ad hoc mode" ? A node with
several network interfaces may want only a subset of them to work as ad hoc
interfaces (the case of ad hoc network gateways). To me, the process of flooding
an ad hoc network requires a node to know which of its interfaces are ad hoc
ones. A solution that we propose in IPv6 could be to associate a particular
scope (subnet scope for example) with an ad hoc network and to give all ad hoc
interfaces of a given node the same scope index.

Thanks, 
Guillaume Chelius.

Hi Sumit,

This is a "very good" question.  I have tried for a couple years now to get some work started in the
IETF with respect to L2 triggers.  I think there was a BOF in Minneapolis, but I missed that.  I am
not sure where the work currently stands.  Can somebody refresh us on this work?

For what its worth, I have always wondered why the top half of TCP/IP is fair game for standardization
i.e. sockets for example, yet the bottom half has to remain secretive/proprietary/custom.  I have always
liked the idea of exposing the underbelly of IP to L2's, i.e. create service access/provision points
underneath IP that provide L2 layers an API into IP' underbelly.  

This being said, some of the most critical things we would need to communicate to IP from a wireless
L2 would be detetion of pilots and/or beacons and signal strength information.  There are many
other things that would be useful as well like how the TOS and TTL fields are interpreted by the MAC.
Maybe I should just write a draft and see what the IESG does with it???

This is a "very good" question.  I have tried for a couple years now to get some work started in the
IETF with respect to L2 triggers.  I think there was a BOF in Minneapolis, but I missed that.  I am
not sure where the work currently stands.  Can somebody refresh us on this work?

For what its worth, I have always wondered why the top half of TCP/IP is fair game for standardization
i.e. sockets for example, yet the bottom half has to remain secretive/proprietary/custom.  I have always
liked the idea of exposing the underbelly of IP to L2's, i.e. create service access/provision points
underneath IP that provide L2 layers an API into IP' underbelly.  

This being said, some of the most critical things we would need to communicate to IP from a wireless
L2 would be detetion of pilots and/or beacons and signal strength information.  There are many
other things that would be useful as well like how the TOS and TTL fields are interpreted by the MAC.
Maybe I should just write a draft and see what the IESG does with it???

Hi All..

A couple of years back I presented a formal Link API design at the DC IETF 
meeting that was drafted in the DARPA GloMo project.  Perhaps its time to 
drag it out and take another look?  Provisions were made to pass 
information across the LL/IP interface, as well as to other protocols (ie, 
a Neighbor Protocol).

Yes, it would be very interesting to see.  I am not so much interested in standardizing the
LLC/MAC layer API for the use of IP, as I am standardizing the bottom half of IP looking
in from an LLC/MAC perspective.  Think of me as an LLC/MAC that wants to make
effective use of the stack above me and vice versa.  The age old protocol stack pattern
has been pretty much top down from day one.  I would like more of object oriented
perspective on the layers where we can look at the IP stack as a layer pattern with a top
and bottom and the bottom gets specified as nicely and cleanly as the top has been.  Any
steps in this direction with respect to wireless LLC/MACs would be extermely beneficial.
I am sure optical devices would benefit as well.

Hi,

I am interested in finding the feasibility of a differentiated services model 
for MANETs. WHile thinking about the implementation of diffserv in MANETs, I 
came across the follwing problem : diffserv aims to push the complexity to the 
edge of the network, by dividing the network into edge and core nodes. How can 
we do this in a MANET? Specifically, how can we differentiate the network of 
nodes into edge and core nodes? Since the nodes are mobile, I feel that every 
node should have the capability of acting as an edge node, which would mark, 
meter and police the packets, and also as a core node, which would simply 
forward the packets on the basis of the DSCP. The nodes can assume either 
functionality depending on the situation. But what node assumes what 
functionality is the question. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am interested in finding the feasibility of a differentiated services model 
for MANETs. WHile thinking about the implementation of diffserv in MANETs, I 
came across the follwing problem : diffserv aims to push the complexity to the 
edge of the network, by dividing the network into edge and core nodes. How can 
we do this in a MANET? Specifically, how can we differentiate the network of 
nodes into edge and core nodes? Since the nodes are mobile, I feel that every 
node should have the capability of acting as an edge node, which would mark, 
meter and police the packets, and also as a core node, which would simply 
forward the packets on the basis of the DSCP. The nodes can assume either 
functionality depending on the situation. But what node assumes what 
functionality is the question. Any suggestions?

Hi Arora,

Actually, diffserv pretty much acknowledges that every "core" node can just
as easily also be an "edge" node, and may therefore have to worry about such
complexities as access control from edge hosts. There is no attempt to
prevent core nodes from being edge nodes.

But diffserv does not get into any sort of signaling or access control
mechanisms between diffserv nodes and edge user hosts. People have mentioned
possible signaling mechanisms for use in diffserv nets, such as the RSVP
PATH and RESV messages. But always, such discussions were cut short on the
list, because they are not germaine to diffserv itself.

What diffserv offers is really a set of per-hop behaviors that every
diffserv node has to support as it routes diffserv-labeled packets. These
PHBs, when aggregated across a diffserv routing domain, create so-called
"per domain behaviors" for aggregated diffserv paths. That's it, pretty
much. And the MIB/PIB needed for diffserv node management, of course.

It seems difficult to be able to support diffserv routes with any sort of
stability if the hops of any "aggregated path" come and go frequently, but I
suppose this could make for an interesting research project!

Good answer,
Also, I'd to refer you to the INSEGNIA model, which provides a vihcle of handling traffic between two nodes. The other model which provided some enhancements to traditional DiffServ is the FQMM.

Always try to distinguish signalling from the model. FQMM represent a model, INSEGNIA is a model with it's own signaling approach. dRSVP is an ammendment to RSVP. 

Ingress, and egress could be anynode. Ingress are always nodes initiating traffic. Egress are those submitting traffic to different domain.

Hi Arora,

Actually, diffserv pretty much acknowledges that every "core" node can just
as easily also be an "edge" node, and may therefore have to worry about such
complexities as access control from edge hosts. There is no attempt to
prevent core nodes from being edge nodes.

But diffserv does not get into any sort of signaling or access control
mechanisms between diffserv nodes and edge user hosts. People have mentioned
possible signaling mechanisms for use in diffserv nets, such as the RSVP
PATH and RESV messages. But always, such discussions were cut short on the
list, because they are not germaine to diffserv itself.

What diffserv offers is really a set of per-hop behaviors that every
diffserv node has to support as it routes diffserv-labeled packets. These
PHBs, when aggregated across a diffserv routing domain, create so-called
"per domain behaviors" for aggregated diffserv paths. That's it, pretty
much. And the MIB/PIB needed for diffserv node management, of course.

It seems difficult to be able to support diffserv routes with any sort of
stability if the hops of any "aggregated path" come and go frequently, but I
suppose this could make for an interesting research project!

Hi,

The Insignia approach does seem to be a good approach for QoS in MANETs, but 
it is based on per flow guarantees, not per class, and thus can have the same 
problems associated with Intserv model like scalability and implementation 
issues. Each flow reserves resources at every node it passes through. THe FQMM 
simply suggests that the highest class gets per flow provisioning, while the 
lower classes get per class provisioning, so in essence the model adds the 
complexity of the two models. And it does not suggest any means of 
implementing the model in MANETs. The basic issue still remains of which node 
will mark the packets so that the subsequent nodes can process them 
accrodingly. If the source node does that job, then there is a good chance 
that the node can misbehave and use a DSCP corresponding to a high priority 
PHB even when it does not need to. In that case, who does the policing to stop 
the flow?

thanks,
Harpreet

it is based on per flow guarantees, not per class, and thus can have the same 
problems associated with Intserv model like scalability and implementation 
issues. Each flow reserves resources at every node it passes through. THe FQMM 
simply suggests that the highest class gets per flow provisioning, while the 
lower classes get per class provisioning, so in essence the model adds the 
complexity of the two models. And it does not suggest any means of 
implementing the model in MANETs. The basic issue still remains of which node 
will mark the packets so that the subsequent nodes can process them 
accrodingly. If the source node does that job, then there is a good chance 
that the node can misbehave and use a DSCP corresponding to a high priority 
PHB even when it does not need to. In that case, who does the policing to stop 
the flow?

thanks,
Harpreet

Hi,

Routing is Adhoc networks depends upon number of factors which effect the 
protocol design. A routing mechanism can certainly be complex one, but that 
would make more prone to fail against some of performance matrix measures. 
One example of such performance matrix being Processing time and Processing 
power. Both effect the efficiency in routing one way or the other. More the 
processing time, the more delays one would be relaying packets. As a result, 
you wouldn't be able to use any simple time out mechanism. You might also be 
experiencing fading channels, one way routes, and other such discrepencies 
because of power loss.
Any mechanism for routing that can guarantee integrity of packet, security, 
minimum hop to destination, less processing delay, and less consumption of 
power would be an ideal candidate.

hope that helped,
Abdul Aziz

Hi,
If you're implementing a DiffServ Model on MANET, then allow me to add more questions need to be placed.
1- How can nodes agree on a set of DSCP?
2- How can nodes agree on a PHB?
3- Who will police traffic marking?

The Insignia approach does seem to be a good approach for QoS in MANETs, but

Hi,
If you're implementing a DiffServ Model on MANET, then allow me to add more questions need to be placed.
1- How can nodes agree on a set of DSCP?
2- How can nodes agree on a PHB?
3- Who will police traffic marking?


Yasser

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

The Insignia approach does seem to be a good approach for QoS in MANETs, but 
it is based on per flow guarantees, not per class, and thus can have the same 
problems associated with Intserv model like scalability and implementation 
issues. Each flow reserves resources at every node it passes through. THe FQMM 
simply suggests that the highest class gets per flow provisioning, while the 
lower classes get per class provisioning, so in essence the model adds the 
complexity of the two models. And it does not suggest any means of 
implementing the model in MANETs. The basic issue still remains of which node 
will mark the packets so that the subsequent nodes can process them 
accrodingly. If the source node does that job, then there is a good chance 
that the node can misbehave and use a DSCP corresponding to a high priority 
PHB even when it does not need to. In that case, who does the policing to stop 
the flow?

thanks,
Harpreet

Yasser,

The set of DSCPs and the corresponding PHBs can always be set as standards. 
The third question remains unanswered.

Phil,

I'll second that, and I can see you're interested in building something
useful... ;-)

I've got a drafty draft written along these lines in hopes of an eventual L2
triggers BOF...very drafty of course as I've zero time to put into this.
Maybe we should each throw some pasta at the IESG wall and see if anything
sticks.  ;-)

Phil,

I'll second that, and I can see you're interested in building something
useful... ;-)

I've got a drafty draft written along these lines in hopes of an eventual L2
triggers BOF...very drafty of course as I've zero time to put into this.
Maybe we should each throw some pasta at the IESG wall and see if anything
sticks.  ;-)

Hi Scott, 

I have some drafty draft stuff too.  Is anybody else interested in this?  I will start writing a draft
since I  have been "complaining" about this for years, so its time for me to put up or shut up.  :-)
I will start the water boiling for the spaghetti and mail my own drafty draft to folks that are
interested.  Also, if I missing some major body of work that has happened on this matter in
the IETF or elsewhere could somebody kindly point it out to me (its pretty hard to keep up
with so much stuff)?   

    The most essential things to me seem to be:

1).  A generic interrupting system, where L2 can "call" (or call back /  publish / tigger) something to
      the underbelly of IP and tell it something has happened.  That something could simply be
      a code with no qualification or a code with complete TLV qualification, as long as the IP
      layers interpretation is consitent there is not a problem.

       This type of mechanism could be the basis for a generic L2 signaling mechanism.  It could also
       be the basis for passing link status up to (and even more importantly through the IP layer
       as out of band data (OOBD)).  Routing mechanisms residing above or at the IP layer would
       very much like to use information passed from the link layer.  I suggest using the model view
       controller model for this.

        Subscriber --->  Publisher
           ^                         ^
           |                          |
         View --------> Model <---- Controller

       Where say a MANET routing protocol is a subcriber to certain classes of L2 information such as
        pilot notification or received signal strentgth indication RSSI.  Some of these will be wireless
        specific, some optics specific etc, but either way they are not tied to any particular L2.

2).   Certain categories of these triggers are essential "base class" triggers, i.e. get a hunk of 
       signaling info (possibly in the form of TLV) up to IP efficiently.  The more L2 independent
       the better (please don't suggest ASN.1!).

3).    It is necessary for IP to support a plethora of LLC/MAC(L2s) simultaneously.  Each of these
         L2s will have different behaviour classifications for TTL, TOS fields etc.  It will be important
         to abstract the behaviors across many different L2s so that the particular L2 does not have
         to be identified, only its interaction pattern with IP.

4).    One could also postulate multiple stacks on a host (IPv4 and IPv6 at least) where it may be
         desirable for the L2 to send IPv4 packets one way and others another way.  Also, one could
          imagine running multiple stacks per virtual machine on some hosts and having the L2 send
          the traffic to the properly bound host IP stack (IPsec with multiple many hostile users comes
          to mind).

Thanks,

Phil

Let me count the ways...

I have had the privilege of watching the IETF deal with any number of IPR 
issues since 1989; the first I dealt with was the Open Distance Vector IGP, 
aka Cisco IGRP recast as a public standard, in which Cisco guaranteed that 
it would license the necessary technology for $1.00 to anyone who asked. We 
have had IPR issues in IPv6, in Compression and Encryption standards, in 
PKI Certificate management (Entrust's could-be-called-submarine-patent 
attempt deep-sixed the working group for a number of months, perhaps a 
year), and a variety of other places.

My observation is my own, nobody else's, but it comes from someone who has 
been watching the IETF for a *long* time. If you want to guarantee a 
scramble, say the word "patent", and if you want to guarantee that the IETF 
will proceed in a direction only under duress, apply for one.

Hello Scott and Phil,
  I did attend L2 Triggers BOF at Minneapolis. I think
it was decided to use pilc mailing list (apparently
not manet) to discuss it further in the hopes of
having a BOF at IETF 54. But so far no discussions on
pilc. 
  I am ccing this mail to Carl so that he follows it
up.

If the node upon startup doesn't have any availble permanent address, 
(such as a
Mobile IPv6 address), we propose that node can configure a temporary address
by using the MANET_INITIAL_PREFIX during the aquisition of the global

			 DIAL M for Mobility
			 ___________________
				   
		    6th International Workshop on

		 Discrete Algorithms and Methods for
		 Mobile Computing and Communications

			 September, 28, 2002

			Atlanta, Georgia, USA
	       (In conjunction with ACM  MobiCom 2002)

		 Sponsored by ACM Sigmobile (pending)

		      http://dialm.insa-lyon.fr/




				SCOPE

Mobile  computing and   communications  such as  portable   phones and
Personal Digital Assistants will have an  enormous impact on all of us
over the next several decades.   The introduction of mobility raises a
number  of new research questions. For  many of them, approaches based
on the continuous case  are not satisfactory,  and discrete models and
algorithms are required in order to deal with real applications.

The workshop DIAL M for Mobility is devoted to discrete algorithms and
discrete modelling in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. It is  intended to be a  lively meeting, covering many
of the   algorithmic and discrete  aspects  of this  field  going from
operations   research  to radio engineering  problems.     It aims, in
particular, at   fostering  the  cooperation  among practitioners  and
theoreticians of the field.  Following  the success the first workshop
held jointly with Mobicom 97 in Budapest,  DIAL M for Mobility will be
co-located  with   ACM/IEEE  MobiCom  98 and    will  be   composed of
contributed and invited talks.


				TOPICS

Papers are  solicited in all  research  and applied areas  related  to
mobile  and  wireless   computing  and  communications  where discrete
algorithms and methods  are used,  including, but  not  limited to:

    * distributed algorithms
    * frequency allocation
    * location tracking
    * multihop packet radio networks
    * wireless networks
    * cryptography and security
    * error correcting codes
    * handover (handoff)
    * modelling
    * optimization
    * routing
    * satellite communication
    * scheduling
    * site allocation
    * synchronization
    * telecommunications

 
			     PUBLICATION
 
All  contributions will  be refereed   by the  Program  Committee. All
accepted  papers  will appear (7  to 10   pages  each) in the workshop
proceedings which will be published by ACM.

 
			SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
 
The language of  the conference is  English. All submissions should be
original  and not currently under  review by any  other publication or
conference.     All papers   will   be    reviewed  by  two  or   more
reviewers.  Accepted proposals will  be  published  in the  conference
proceedings. It is expected that all accepted papers will be presented
at the workshop.

Papers should be full papers and be no longer than 5000 words (no more
than 10 single-spaced pages).  Submissions must include a cover  page,
containing the title, author  name(s) and affiliation(s), the complete
address  (telephone, fax, email) of   the corresponding author, and an
abstract (max 150 words) followed by up to 5 keywords.

Authors are  requested  to submit an   electronic version  (PDF  or A4
Postscript   format)  of   the paper. The    PDF  format  is  strongly

			 DIAL M for Mobility
			 ___________________
				   
		    6th International Workshop on

		 Discrete Algorithms and Methods for
		 Mobile Computing and Communications

			 September, 28, 2002

			Atlanta, Georgia, USA
	       (In conjunction with ACM  MobiCom 2002)

		 Sponsored by ACM Sigmobile (pending)

		      http://dialm.insa-lyon.fr/




				SCOPE

Mobile  computing and   communications  such as  portable   phones and
Personal Digital Assistants will have an  enormous impact on all of us
over the next several decades.   The introduction of mobility raises a
number  of new research questions. For  many of them, approaches based
on the continuous case  are not satisfactory,  and discrete models and
algorithms are required in order to deal with real applications.

The workshop DIAL M for Mobility is devoted to discrete algorithms and
discrete modelling in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. It is  intended to be a  lively meeting, covering many
of the   algorithmic and discrete  aspects  of this  field  going from
operations   research  to radio engineering  problems.     It aims, in
particular, at   fostering  the  cooperation  among practitioners  and
theoreticians of the field.  Following  the success the first workshop
held jointly with Mobicom 97 in Budapest,  DIAL M for Mobility will be
co-located  with   ACM/IEEE  MobiCom  98 and    will  be   composed of
contributed and invited talks.


				TOPICS

Papers are  solicited in all  research  and applied areas  related  to
mobile  and  wireless   computing  and  communications  where discrete
algorithms and methods  are used,  including, but  not  limited to:

    * distributed algorithms
    * frequency allocation
    * location tracking
    * multihop packet radio networks
    * wireless networks
    * cryptography and security
    * error correcting codes
    * handover (handoff)
    * modelling
    * optimization
    * routing
    * satellite communication
    * scheduling
    * site allocation
    * synchronization
    * telecommunications

 
			     PUBLICATION
 
All  contributions will  be refereed   by the  Program  Committee. All
accepted  papers  will appear (7  to 10   pages  each) in the workshop
proceedings which will be published by ACM.

 
			SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
 
The language of  the conference is  English. All submissions should be
original  and not currently under  review by any  other publication or
conference.     All papers   will   be    reviewed  by  two  or   more
reviewers.  Accepted proposals will  be  published  in the  conference
proceedings. It is expected that all accepted papers will be presented
at the workshop.

Papers should be full papers and be no longer than 5000 words (no more
than 10 single-spaced pages).  Submissions must include a cover  page,
containing the title, author  name(s) and affiliation(s), the complete
address  (telephone, fax, email) of   the corresponding author, and an
abstract (max 150 words) followed by up to 5 keywords.

Authors are  requested  to submit an   electronic version  (PDF  or A4
Postscript   format)  of   the paper. The    PDF  format  is  strongly
recommended.

All submissions will be  handled electronically. You will  submit your
proposal   via    the  WEB    (http://dialm.insa-lyon.fr/)  or  E-MAIL
(Eric.Fleury@inria.fr) if your web access  is limited).  Please review

Just to reinforce what Claude said but stepping back a bit. It is all too common when
designing network protocols that the specification is first done assuming (perhaps
implicitly) primarily well-behaving and conforming host population. Security is left
for later.  But if you're serious about security you start with security.

The idea with this approach in general is to try to secure from the very beginning.
If one doesn't do this and takes any routing message at face value, this will populate
routing tables throughout with unverified information. It seems simpler to only
populate tables after verifying information (or at least provide the means to do so).
This also implies the less change to the spec and implementations of whatever protocol
you're using. Otherwise, you might have to augment your routing table to distinguish
between verified and unverified entries, and handling those two can get messy.

Yes, this is characteristic of on-demand routing protocols, not just AODV.

Unfortunately, you have to assume that the attacker always knows what he 
is doing; we replace the notion "shortest" with "fastest".  Although I 
can't find anything on the subject in the draft, it is well known among 
implementors of ad hoc routing protocols that immediate rebroadcast of 
flooded packets (e.g., route requests) is a bad idea: the synchronized 
broadcasts from multiple nodes cause extremely high contention, and 
(especially in simulations)  lots of collisions. The solution for this 
problem is for each node to choose a small random backoff timer to 
better distribute the rebroadcasts.  The consequence of this is that a 
route request travels slower through the MANET than regular unicast 
traffic.  So if my attackers have a clue, they will maintain an active 
route between them to support the packet tunnel. This tunnel will 
deliver the route request from the  source's tail to the destination's 
tail slightly before the route request flood reaches the destination's 
region of the MANET, and the first route request the destination 
receives will be through the "magic" link.  The attackers can coordinate 
to make sure that they are on or near the shortest path between the 
source and destination, so this attack should be quite effective in 
denying communication betweem source and dest.  The attack is assisted 
by expanding ring search (Section 6.4 in draft 10), since the attackers 
can probably tail the source and destination fairly closely. In this 
case, the attackers need only be "close" to the fastest path.

If the attackers have more resources at their disposal, they can improve 
upon this margin.  The attackers can purchase better radios than what is 
commonly used in the MANET, so that they actually DO have the fastest, 
shortest link across the MANET.  AODV/DSR/whatever will then choose the 
path through the attackers as the shortest path.  The gist of this 
argument is that simply authenticating the RREQ/RREPs is not sufficent 
to preserve availability of communication between source and 
destination, but only to verify that a route exists.

Exactly.  It is only necessary that the attackers be on the fastest 
path, and they can subvert traffic.

Unfortunately, you have to assume that the attacker always knows what he 
is doing; we replace the notion "shortest" with "fastest".  Although I 
can't find anything on the subject in the draft, it is well known among 
implementors of ad hoc routing protocols that immediate rebroadcast of 
flooded packets (e.g., route requests) is a bad idea: the synchronized 
broadcasts from multiple nodes cause extremely high contention, and 
(especially in simulations)  lots of collisions. The solution for this 
problem is for each node to choose a small random backoff timer to 
better distribute the rebroadcasts.  The consequence of this is that a 
route request travels slower through the MANET than regular unicast 
traffic.  So if my attackers have a clue, they will maintain an active 
route between them to support the packet tunnel. This tunnel will 
deliver the route request from the  source's tail to the destination's 
tail slightly before the route request flood reaches the destination's 
region of the MANET, and the first route request the destination 
receives will be through the "magic" link.  The attackers can coordinate 
to make sure that they are on or near the shortest path between the 
source and destination, so this attack should be quite effective in 
denying communication betweem source and dest.  The attack is assisted 
by expanding ring search (Section 6.4 in draft 10), since the attackers 
can probably tail the source and destination fairly closely. In this 
case, the attackers need only be "close" to the fastest path.

If the attackers have more resources at their disposal, they can improve 
upon this margin.  The attackers can purchase better radios than what is 
commonly used in the MANET, so that they actually DO have the fastest, 
shortest link across the MANET.  AODV/DSR/whatever will then choose the 
path through the attackers as the shortest path.  The gist of this 
argument is that simply authenticating the RREQ/RREPs is not sufficent 
to preserve availability of communication between source and 
destination, but only to verify that a route exists.

Exactly.  It is only necessary that the attackers be on the fastest 
path, and they can subvert traffic.

James,

I was unable to make that BOF.  Did it happen?  Is there a list?  I was going to write up
a draft and just throw it at the IESG to see if it sicks and where they stick it.  My interests
are WLAN/MANET primarily.  I do not want to create anything to heavy, just something
immediately useful facilitating QoS and security issues with ad hoc wireless devices.  Is there
a web page for the BOF?

Thanks,

Phil

James,

I was unable to make that BOF.  Did it happen?  Is there a list?  I was going to write up
a draft and just throw it at the IESG to see if it sicks and where they stick it.  My interests
are WLAN/MANET primarily.  I do not want to create anything to heavy, just something
immediately useful facilitating QoS and security issues with ad hoc wireless devices.  Is there
a web page for the BOF?

Thanks,

Hi,

OK, seems like there is some interest.  Here is the list of interested folks I have so far.  
Have I missed anybody?  

Corson@flarion.com - Scott Corson
Einar.Vollset@newcastle.ac.uk - Einar Vollset
gerharz@cs.uni-bonn.de - Michael Gerharz
budden@nps.navy.mil - Rex Buddenberg
M.Sasuta@motorola.com - Mike Sasuta
chane@cse.ucsc.edu - Dr. Chane Fullmer

If anybody else is interested in working on the draft please let me know.  If we come up with
a draft fairly quickly it may be submitted into the L2 tiggers BOF I suppose depending on
how/when that happens.  Either way we can see what the IESG says when we submit it.

I plan to send my first version of the drafty draft to the above folks in plain vanilla ASCII,
i.e. no IETF formatting at first.  Everybody can take a swipe at it and  mail it back to me.  

Meanwhile...  Here is a draft problem statement....  Please pile on.

Problem Statement
=============
Many years of development have gone into the TCP/IP protocol suite, primarily from a "top
down" design perspective where layer upon layer have been built upon each other.  Each
layer functions as a client accessing the server layer below it.  This model has served the global
Internet extremely well for many hears.  However, as software design methodologies have
progressed so have software design patterns.  The IP stack is highly standardized on
its "top" side, but it is proprietary/hidden and somewhat of a black art on its bottom side.

With the advent of ubiquitous wireless devices, it is extremely important to allow L2 devices
to form a tight coupling with the IP (L3) layer.  Wireless devices have links that can change
state on the order of milliseconds and routing, QoS, and security decisions, if they are to be
implemented at the IP layer, must interact quickly.  Currently, there are no standard event 
notification methods or triggering mechanisms into the under-specified under-belly of the IP
stack.

Proposed Title:  Steps Toward Standardizing IP's Underspecified Underbelly
(I hate this title, but it gets the point across)

Thanks,

Phil

Hello,

I have read the AODV internet draft version 10.

In the draft, it is stated that the control packet
length is 32. May I know whether it means 32 bits or
32 bytes ?

I am still new in ad-hoc networking research.

Thank you for your kind advice.

Regards,
Ricky

Hello, 

Sorry for my last mail, a poor manipulation error.
I'm also interested in working for this draft, if you accept my participation.

Thanks,

Hello, 

Sorry for my last mail, a poor manipulation error.
I'm also interested in working for this draft, if you accept my participation.

Thanks, 
Guillaume Chelius.

Hi,

That is probably 32 bytes -
RREQ are 24 bytes
RREP are 20 bytes
and RERR can vary in size.

IP addresses are usaully 32 bits long (in IPv4). Sequence numbers in AODV
are also 32 bits. 32 bits translates into 4 bytes because there are 8 bits
in a byte. Here is an article which goes a little more in depth:
http://www.loadstar.com/articles/bytes.htm .

Hope this helps,

Luke Klein-Berndt

Reminder: The submissions for the AODV Next Generation (AODVng)
2002 Workshop are due *today* (April 30th)!

*****************************************************************

We are pleased to announce the AODV Next Generation (AODVng) 2002
Workshop, the first workshop on the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector
(AODV) routing protocol.  AODVng 2002, held in conjunction with the
Third ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and
Computing (Mobihoc) 2002, will bring together researchers and
engineers who have experience working with AODV, to discuss future
directions and enhancements for AODV.  The workshop will include
presentations by participants, as well as a discussion session on
suggested extensions to the basic AODV protocol.  The setting of the
workshop is informal, and will take place at Ecole Polytechnique
Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), the same site as Mobihoc.

Date: June 8, 2002
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland

We invite one-page abstracts describing recent work related to AODV.
If your abstract is accepted, you will be asked to give a presentation
on this work at the workshop.  There will be no formal proceedings
from the workshop, although during the workshop we may decide on some
avenue for a publication describing the event.  Participation in the
workshop is by invitation only.

Because of the limited time available, there are currently no plans
for interoperability testing at this event.   If there is interest, 
we can use part of the workshop time to plan the next such event.  
Also, informal interoperability testing may be possible.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Quality of Service
- Multi-path routing
- Security
- Uni-directional links
- Implementation and test-bed experience
- Energy usage
- Scalability
- Interoperability testing and future events
- Freely available implementations and simulations
- Location-aware routing
- Scatternet formation
- Limiting rebroadcasts for flooding (broadcast backbones)
- Parameter selection for specific mobility and traffic scenarios
- Service discovery

Note that the topic must be related to the AODV protocol, and geared
towards future improvement.

Submission Instructions:

All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in ASCII
text, PDF or PostScript format.  Submissions must be in the form of an
abstract and must not exceed *500 words*.  Because there will not be
any formal proceedings, the work may be previously published
elsewhere.  The proposal may also be a work-in-progress, although
meaningful results must be included.


Please send submissions to Charles E. Perkins at charliep@iprg.nokia.com.

Submission Deadline: *April 30, 2002*
Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2002

For more information, visit the AODVng Workshop homepage at
http://moment.cs.ucsb.edu/AODV/workshop.html, or send email to
Charles Perkins (charliep@iprg.nokia.com) or Elizabeth Belding-Royer
(ebelding@cs.ucsb.edu) for any questions or more information.


Organizers:
Charles E. Perkins, Nokia Research Center
Elizabeth M. Belding-Royer, UC Santa Barbara

Reminder: The submissions for the AODV Next Generation (AODVng)
2002 Workshop are due *today* (April 30th)!

*****************************************************************

We are pleased to announce the AODV Next Generation (AODVng) 2002
Workshop, the first workshop on the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector
(AODV) routing protocol.  AODVng 2002, held in conjunction with the
Third ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and
Computing (Mobihoc) 2002, will bring together researchers and
engineers who have experience working with AODV, to discuss future
directions and enhancements for AODV.  The workshop will include
presentations by participants, as well as a discussion session on
suggested extensions to the basic AODV protocol.  The setting of the
workshop is informal, and will take place at Ecole Polytechnique
Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), the same site as Mobihoc.

Date: June 8, 2002
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland

We invite one-page abstracts describing recent work related to AODV.
If your abstract is accepted, you will be asked to give a presentation
on this work at the workshop.  There will be no formal proceedings
from the workshop, although during the workshop we may decide on some
avenue for a publication describing the event.  Participation in the
workshop is by invitation only.

Because of the limited time available, there are currently no plans
for interoperability testing at this event.   If there is interest, 
we can use part of the workshop time to plan the next such event.  
Also, informal interoperability testing may be possible.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Quality of Service
- Multi-path routing
- Security
- Uni-directional links
- Implementation and test-bed experience
- Energy usage
- Scalability
- Interoperability testing and future events
- Freely available implementations and simulations
- Location-aware routing
- Scatternet formation
- Limiting rebroadcasts for flooding (broadcast backbones)
- Parameter selection for specific mobility and traffic scenarios
- Service discovery

Note that the topic must be related to the AODV protocol, and geared
towards future improvement.

Submission Instructions:

All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in ASCII
text, PDF or PostScript format.  Submissions must be in the form of an
abstract and must not exceed *500 words*.  Because there will not be
any formal proceedings, the work may be previously published
elsewhere.  The proposal may also be a work-in-progress, although
meaningful results must be included.


Please send submissions to Charles E. Perkins at charliep@iprg.nokia.com.

Submission Deadline: *April 30, 2002*
Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2002

For more information, visit the AODVng Workshop homepage at
http://moment.cs.ucsb.edu/AODV/workshop.html, or send email to
Charles Perkins (charliep@iprg.nokia.com) or Elizabeth Belding-Royer
(ebelding@cs.ucsb.edu) for any questions or more information.

Hello Harpreet:

My research group looked at stateful (INSIGNIA Project) and
stateless (SWAN Project) approaches to building QOS into MANETS.
SWAN (for stateless wireless ad hoc networks) is a diffserv-like
approach and may answer some of your good questions.

SWAN is rather simple but effective. It uses rate control for
UDP and TCP best-effort traffic, and sender-based admission control
for UDP real-time traffic. SWAN uses ECN to dynamically regulate
admitted real-time traffic in the face of network dynamics brought on
by mobility and/or traffic overload conditions. SWAN does not require the
support of a QOS-capable MAC. Rather, soft real-time services are built
using existing best effort wireless MAC technology.

For details of the mode take a look at our INFOCOM 2002 paper. It
includes simulation, analysis, and results from an experimental
wireless testbed that shows real-time applications experience low
and stable delays under various multi-hop, traffic and mobility conditions:

Gahng-Seop Ahn, Andrew T. Campbell, Andras Veres and Li-Hsiang Sun, "SWAN:
Service Differentiation in Stateless Wireless Ad Hoc Networks", Proc. IEEE
INFOCOM'2002, New York, New York, 2002 (to be published).

You can get the paper from:

http://comet.columbia.edu/swan/

The SWAN ns simulation and testbed code will be made available
in June 2002.

QOS is not on the table in the MANET WG so this is more academic
right now.

Best,

Granted INSIGNIA is a stateful approach for per-flow QoS
but the state explosion issue for wireless ad hoc networks is
nowhere near as pressing as core Internet (considering the
size of the network and the size of routing tables of MANET
routing protocols). Therefore I do not think the issue of
maintaining per-flow state in ad hoc networks is as critical as
the Internet.

Moreover, in practice, INSIGNIA admits and maintains finite
number of 'high-priority' flows (best-effort flows are not maintained)
through concept of soft-state. When a node carries too many
high-priority flows (or states) and can not be handled,  INSIGNIA
simply ignores/discards additional high-priority flows (and those
denied ones will be treated as best effort flows).  So, our definition
of 'resources' are not limited to 'bandwidth' but includes others like
'buffer-occupancy', 'computational-power' and etc., ... anything that
throttles the end-to-end QoS and INSIGNIA operations.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice.

That means the Reserved Field in RREQ is 13 bits
and the Reserved Field in RREP is 9 bits, right?

Thank you.

Ricky
