                          Call for Participation

   11th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking

                    August 28 - September 2, 2005
                          Cologne, Germany

                 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/

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

ACM MobiCom is a highly-selective international conference on mobile
computing and wireless and mobile networking. It serves as the premier 
forum for presenting and discussing research results on networks, systems, 
algorithms, and applications supporting the symbiosis of mobile computing 
and wireless networking. Each year, the conference attracts about 500 
researchers, practitioners, students, and executives. MobiCom 2005 will 
be held in beautiful Cologne, Germany.

Technical Program. The program consists of a single track with 23 
papers.  The authors present cutting-edge results on various topics, such 
as new architectures, content-based and geometric routing, self-management, 
cross-layer optimization. The papers cover ad hoc networks, mesh networks, 
wireless sensor networks, WLANs, and cellular networks. A list of accepted 
papers can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/program.html.

Tutorials. Four tutorials will be offered: (a) Wireless sensor and actuator 
networks, (b) 802.11 WLAN MAC and smart antennas: issues and directions, 
(c) Security in sensor and ad hoc networks: perspectives and status, and (d) 
Wide area wireless networks: 3G and beyond.

The conference will also feature two invited talks by leaders in our field: 
(a) "Secure, Natural Communications," by Jeffrey M. Jaffe, President, Bell 
Labs Research and Advanced Technologies, and (b) "Communicating Vehicles - 
Communicating Roadways: New Approaches to Driver Information and Road 
Safety," by Ralf Guido Herrtwich, Director Vehicle IT and Services Research, 
DaimlerChrysler AG.

Cologne is very popular, especially in August due to World Youth Day 2005 
taking place there. Because Pope Benedict XVI organizes this event, he will 
be in town just the week before MobiCom. Thus, we ask you to make your 
hotel and flight reservations as early as possible. For more travel info 
please visit http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/travel.html.

Call For Papers:  Workshop on emerging services delivery platforms and
software models for Next Generation Network Services
(http://www.softplatforms.org)

This workshop will be held in conjunction with the FIRST International
Conference on COMmunication System softWAre and MiddlewaRE (COMSWARE
2006) at New Delhi, India (http://www.comsware.org/) from Jan 8-12 2006.

Workshop Objectives:=20

The next generation services networks deliver enhanced business
capabilities such as data, video, messaging and business functions for
wired and wireless consumers. These new sets of services enhance the
business opportunities by integrating with core business services,
including: supply chain management, customer management, and consumer
applications. This workshop aims to discuss topics related to emerging
next generation services and service delivery platforms to host/support
such complex application environments.=20

=20

The workshop focuses on:

* How next generation service delivery platforms deliver enhanced QoS
management, operational efficiencies, flexible services composability,
faster time-to-market, efficient trust models and flexible pricing
models.

* Technical and business factors influencing the services composability
and network services delivery environments. The associated revenue and
cost models for consumers, suppliers and application providers.

* The influences of emerging distributed computing architecture styles
(loosely-coupled, asynchronous, compos able, collaborative,
decentralized and parallel services) related to service delivery models.

* Emerging middleware platforms for network services, service
composability, distributed architecture models and programming models.

* New services models (communication services, presence-enabled
services, content/media services and enterprise/legacy services) and
value creation environments that represents new business opportunities
for operators and providers.

=20

This workshop invites papers from research and business communities on
the different aspects of service delivery platforms and emerging
services models. The workshop will include papers that examine
interesting practical problems, case studies, best practices, middleware
platforms and innovative messaging architectures.=20

Hi all,=20

I'd like to request that this WG considers the MIPv4 transition
issues addressed by the solution in:
draft-tsirtsis-v4v6-mipv4, which expired and will be refreshed.

The MIP6 WG is considering the problem and is taking steps
towards formulating a solution for MIPv6. The problem statement is=20
described in:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mip6-dsmip-problem-00.txt

I think a solution for MIPv4 would also be appropriate and relatively
simple.=20
I'd appreciate your feedback, especially in answering some=20
questions:
- Do you think the work is needed?
- If your answer is yes, would you be able to contribute (reviews, =
ideas, drafts ..etc)?
- If the answer is no, would you object to the WG taking this
  task?=20

If you don't care either way you don't need to answer :)=20

thx,
Hesham

I think MIP4 has a NAT traversal scheme that could be re-used for MIPv6
when MH connects to a v4-exclusively access network, in order to give v6
session continuity to MH.

I'd gladly review and post ideas about the above.  Writing a draft
probably too, but not very long.

It's not no :-)

Dear all,

Please find the following a new draft: route optimization for mip4 may be an
old topic, just to see if there are still any interests. Comments are highly
appreciated.

Regards,
Ji

===================================================
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


	Title		: Agent-Based Return Routability Test for Mobile IPv4 Route
Optimization
	Author(s)	: J. Zhang, D. Pearce
	Filename	: draft-zhang-mobopts-agent-mip4rr-00.txt
	Pages		: 18
	Date		: 2005-8-12

   This document is to propose a more deployable route optimization
   scheme for Mobile IPv4, which is transparent to fixed IPv4 end nodes,
   and does not need any preconfigured security associations.
   Specifically, we propose to adapt the Mobile IPv6 Return Routability
   Test for Mobile IPv4 route optimization, on the basis of an agent-
   based architecture.  In order to achieve this, six new message types
   and formats are defined for Mobile IPv4.

Any comments/questions are welcome:

Objectives:

1. Re-thinking IPv4 Mobility design.
2. Take advantage of last ~10 years of IPv4 evolution
3. simplified design by removing redundant\unused\unusable objects
4. Design reused

Issues:
1. IPv4 Mobility model pre-dates some recents developments in IPv4
2. IPv4 Mobility model develop in parallel with widely deployed changes in 
IPv4 without
   taking into account those changes
3. In recent years, it seems that IPv4 mobility model is bit ignore because 
of the push for IPv6.

Mobile IP Lite: Frameworks:

A. Host Mobility framework:

Any comments/questions are welcome:

Objectives:

1. Re-thinking IPv4 Mobility design.
2. Take advantage of last ~10 years of IPv4 evolution
3. simplified design by removing redundant\unused\unusable objects
4. Design reused

Issues:
1. IPv4 Mobility model pre-dates some recents developments in IPv4
2. IPv4 Mobility model develop in parallel with widely deployed changes in 
IPv4 without
   taking into account those changes
3. In recent years, it seems that IPv4 mobility model is bit ignore because 
of the push for IPv6.

Mobile IP Lite: Frameworks:

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Mobility for IPv4 Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Mobile IPv4 Dynamic Home Agent Assignment
	Author(s)	: M. Kulkarni, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mip4-dynamic-assignment-05.txt
	Pages		: 23
	Date		: 2005-8-15
	
Mobile IPv4 [1] uses the Home Agent (HA) to anchor sessions of a 
   roaming Mobile Node (MN).  This draft proposes a messaging mechanism 
   for dynamic home agent assignment and HA redirection.  The goal is to
   provide a mechanism to assign an optimal HA for a Mobile IP session 
   while allowing any suitable method for HA selection.

Technical:

Overall, this draft is short and seems to make a lot of
sense. I did have one technical question (which may
be just a lack of my own understanding), one suggested
addition to the security considerations section and a three
very minor editorial nits.

>    A mobile node that cannot correctly interpret the
>    contents of the FA Error Extension MUST NOT use the care-of
>    address provided in the Registration Reply message, until another
>    Registration Request message has been sent and a successful
>    Registration Reply message received.

Hmm... I may be missing something here, but why would
the mobile node use the care-of address even if it did  "correctly
interpret the contents of the FA error extensions"? Its an error,
so why continue...?

> 7. Security Considerations
>
>    The extension in this document improves the security features
>    of Mobile IPv4 by allowing the mobile node to be assured of the
>    authenticity of the information supplied within a Registration
>    Request.  Previously, whenever the foreign agent was required to
>    provide status information to the mobile node, it could only do so
>    by destroying the ability of the mobile device to authenticated the
>    Mobile-Home Authentication Extension data.

>    In many typical cases, the mobile node will not have a security
>    association with the foreign agent that has sent the extension.
>    Thus, the mobile node will be unable to ascertain that the foreign
>    agent sending the extended Registration Reply message is the same
>    foreign agent that earlier received the associated Registration
>    Request from the mobile node.  Because of this, a malicious foreign
>    agent could cause a mobile node to operate as if the registration had
>    failed, when in fact its home agent and a correctly operating foreign
>    agent had both accepted the mobile node's Registration Request.  In
>    order to reduce the vulnerability to such maliciously transmitted
>    Registration Reply messages with the unauthenticated extension, the
>    mobile node MAY delay processing of such Registration Reply messages
>    for a short while in order to determine whether another authentic
>    Registration Reply might be received fromm the true foreign agent.


This is very good. However, we should probably say something
about bidding down attacks somewhere. Suggest adding the
following note to the end of Section 7:

    It should be noted that if the mobile node can not be certain
    that it operates in a network that supports this extension,
    malicious foreign agents might still be able to change the
    status information. Where such vulnerability is unacceptable,
    the mobile node can employ a policy where it refuses to
    communicate with foreign agents that do not support this
    extension.

Editorial:

>    (see section 3) from the space of numbers for nonskippable mobility

s/nonskippable/non-skippable/

Gen_Art last call review of  Mobile IPv4 Dynamic Home Agent Assignment
     draft-ietf-mip4-dynamic-assignment-05.txt

The General Area Review Team (Gen_Art) serves as a review team for the IETF 
Chair.
We are asked to review documents being considered by the IESG, and where 
possible to provide reviews during or after IETF last call.
The Gen-Art reviewer is selected by a quasi-random process from the team.
I have been selected to review this document.

This is a re-review, following up on a review done of -03.

This draft is almost ready for publication as a Proposed Standard 
RFC.  However, one item that had been noted earlier still leaves room for 
ambiguity about certain fields:

Sections 4.2 and 4.2.1 still do not identify what value is placed in the HA 
Address field of the second registration request, after the redirect has 
been received.  Whatever behavior is intended (put the new HA address in 
the HA Address field, or continue to put ALL-ZERO-ONE-ADDR in the HA 
Address field to allow for further redirection, or either one) should be 
stated.  This was in my earlier comments, and had been acknowledged as 
reasonable.  (Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 note that the new HA address must be 
placed in the Requested HA Extensions, but that does not answer the 
question of what goes in the HA Address field of the packet.)

Nits:
     This document is using an out of date IPR clause.  I don't know if it 
needs to be updated.

The HA address field is set to ALL-ZERO-ONE-ADDR to signify that MN is
still registering in dynamic HA assignment mode.  So step 5 of 4.2.1 is
same as step 1 in the section.

So proposed new text in 4.2.1:

5.  If the MN can authenticate the Reply, the MN extracts the HA address
from the Redirected HA Extension.  The MN then sends a Registration
Request to the Redirected HA, unless it has already received a
redirection response from that HA while processing the Registration
Request.  The Home Agent address field in this Registration Request is
set to ALL-ZERO-ONE-ADDR.  The MN may choose to add Requested HA
extension in this new Registration Request.

>=20

See above.

Hmm, this seems up to date.  Pls provide some more details so we can fix
this up.

Thanks for the review.

Most of the errors which idnits report on this document is due to
many boilerplate paragraphs being broken up by blank lines, which
prevents recognition.  Manual removal of these added blank lines
reduces the idnits complaints to just one:

  (Expected a match on the following text:
    "Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
    months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents
    at any time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
    material or to cite them other than as "work in progress.""

    at any time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet Drafts as reference
    material or to cite them other than as "work in progress".")

This is caused by the final full stop being placed outside the quotes,
instead of inside.

Personally, I think this is just fine, but the current guidelines to
handling boilerplate are very rigid and requires verbatim compliance, which
means putting the full stop before the final double quote.  Or take your
chances.

Whatever you do with this, I think fixing the extraneous blank lines in
the middle of the boilerplate paragraphs would be good, though.

I normally use xml which would avoid this problem.  But this draft was
created awhile back and source is word doc.  Unless it's mandated to
remove the blank lines (which we would have to go find them), I'll avoid
such work that is not related to supplying good content.

Let us know if the previous text is satisfactory?  If everything looks
good, then we'll submit a new draft version with the 2 changes.  Thanks.

Kent

I can understand not wanting to debug the process, however manually
fixing the resulting .txt document doesn't take much time, and prevents
other (possibly several other) people having to do it.  So please fix
up the document to avoid the broken paragraphs - I bet you can do it in
only a minute or two... ,,:-)

The proposed replacement for bullet 5 in 4.2.1 works for me.  Thank you.

With regard to the IPR, Henrik's very nice IDnits checker reports:

     Checking conformance with RFC 3978/3979 boilerplate...
   * The document seems to lack an RFC 3978 Section 5.5 Disclaimer --
     however, there's a paragraph with a matching beginning. Boilerplate
     error?
   * The document seems to lack an RFC 3979 Section 5, para 1 IPR
     Disclosure Acknowledgement -- however, there's a paragraph with a
     matching beginning. Boilerplate error?
   * The document seems to lack an RFC 3979 Section 5, para 2 IPR
     Disclosure Acknowledgement -- however, there's a paragraph with a
     matching beginning. Boilerplate error?

Yours,
Joel

New submission from mehmet <ozdemmehmet@yahoo.com>:

Hi .I am Mehmet OZDEM from Turkey.
Iam working Turk Telekom as electronical engineer and  continues my educati=
on=20
in MsC.My thesis is related mobile IP V4's problems.I have read many papers=20
from IEEE.
I want to ask some questions about it.
As far as I see; the big problem is Handover process in Mip4.Routing=20
optimization is good idea; but I think it suffers from binding because it=20
requires special hardware in mobile agents.Do you think that binding soluti=
on=20
is bad?
Another question is that ensapsulation is bad or goodmethod (for Home Agent=
 and=20
Foreign Agent communication) We can solve it using MPLS.
And If we use private IP in mobile node,
what are the drawbacks of this solution( According o paper written by=20
Toshihiko "Mobile IP Using Private IP" it is unable to route optimization) =
Why?
=20
If you interest my problems I'll be very happy
Thanks,Best regards

Ah, but if the mobile node does not understand the new extension, it
will only look at the result code returned int the regular result
code field; and that result code (from the HA) may be ok.  However,
since this extension is non-skippable, a mobile node which complies
with the base spec will discard the message (as it does not
understand the extension).  So a 3344 compliant MN will do the right
thing; this text just underlines / explains this.  I'd say this text
is not strictly needed, or at least could be re-written, maybe as
follows:

   "The FA Error extension is only valid for use within Mobile IPv4
   Registration Reply messages.  The FA Error Extension is not
   skippable.  Accordingly, a mobile node that cannot correctly
   interpret the contents of the FA Error Extension must silently
   discard the message, according to Section 1.8 of RFC 3344 [2],
   and not use the care-of address it contains."

>>    The extension in this document improves the security features

Mmm.  In order for this to be enforceable, we would need to add a
bit to the Router Advertisements of agents, announcing support. But
this could also be spoofed, so we're back to zero.  I don't see how
this is enforceable without requiring use only of FAs with which the
MN has a security association.

Right to all.

Agreed. But the question is if we need to enforce
it. The first priority would be to document the
vulnerability, if it exists.

The second priority would be finding a possibility
for some subset of mobile nodes to avoid this problem,
if they wish to pay the price of not working with
existing FAs. I didn't actually think about this in terms of a
new bit. Is it possible to look at the status code value
and if its in the range designated for errors given
from the FA, and refuse to accept such an error
if it doesn't come in the FA Error Extension?

No, the FA would not in general use this FA Error Extension
if it was the originator of an error messages; only in the
case when it has to override a message from the HA would this
be used.  What you can say is that with this extension in place,
the MN can choose to never accept a Registration Reply where the
HA's message digest is broken.  This means that any malicious
FA has to generate a complete, false reply without HA auth. ext.
present; but in that case, a later correct one could appear, as
already described in the draft.

However, this also brings us to the main point for which this
extension was designed - for use with the revised MIPv4
challenge/response mechanism, which hopefully should be
in good shape when this extension can be used.  Checking for
bidding-down usage in that context should be done, though -
I don't think draft-ietf-mip4-rfc3012bis-04.txt mentions this.

Hi,

  Below is a first draft of the meeting minutes from IETF-63 in Paris.
Please read and comment.  (I seem to be able to find only the notes
from George, but another kind person also took notes - I wonder if I
have received these and mislaid them?)

The minutes are also available in HTML format: 
    http://www.mip4.org/ietf63/minutes.html

Regards,

	Henrik

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-radius.pdf

   No slides were received for this agenda item before the meeting, and
   Kent was not present in the room.  Skipped here, but inserted as
   agenda item 12, below.

7. MIPv4 Extension for Configuration Options Exchange: Jayshree Bharatia
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-bharatia-mip4-gen-ext-00.txt

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-gen-ext.pdf

   This draft defines a Mobile IP extension for configuration options,
   which should be used by any Mobile IP entity to exchange information
   of the network entities like DNS server address, previous Foreign
   Agent (FA) address etc.

   Comments:

      Charlie: 
        Is this for host configuration from the HA?

      Jayshree: 
        3GPP is using L2 mechanisms to carry info...would be nice to do
        it over MIP. But this is only one option. This can be used for
        other things.

      Kent: 
        the L2 mechanisms probably provide local info anyway....we need
        home info too.

8. Discussion of mip4-gen-ext vs. mip4-host-config-vse:           Chairs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-bharatia-mip4-gen-ext-00.txt

   draft-leung-mip4-host-config-vse-00.txt

   Discussion:

      Henrik: 
        Why not just carry the DHCP option format instead of
        redefining? 

      Jayshree: 
        Yes

      Someone: 
        Options should be minimal, the rest should be done over DHCP

      Henrik:
        Should we adopt this or Kent's draft or merge them?

      Kent: 

        The Kent draft was proposed 2 years ago with no success. 3GPP2
        defined this with VSEs. Cisco also defined VSEs defined as
        informational. This new draft is good as a way forward for
        standards track doc. We should not eliminate existing
        implementations though so the info RFC should also progress.

      George: 
        Kent's draft is in IESG hands and independent. This should go
        ahead by itself. 

      Henrik: 
        Should we take this on?. 6 say yes. 5 say they will work on it.
        0 say it should not be taken on. It will be taken on.

   Conclusion:
      This will be proposed as a new work item in the updated charter.

9. Secure Connectivity using Mobile IPv4 and MOBIKE:   Vijay Devarapalli
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-devarapalli-mip4-mobike-connectivity-00.txt

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-mobike-connectivity.pdf

   This draft presents an alternative to using dual-MIP (as described in
   draft-ietf-mip4-vpn-problem-solution-01) for combined MIPv4 and IPsec
   deployment, when the VPN gateway supports MOBIKE extensions.

   Comments:

      Someone: 
	I like the idea. You are using the VPN only when external. OK in
	enterprise but maybe not always?

      Vijay: 
	Some enterprises want you to use VPN all the time which is OK,
	this can be used in this case

      Kent: 
	Question. Does this support FA mode when outside? From a network
	that has FAs? 

      Vijay: 
	No this mode is not supported

      Henrik: 
	This and the double MIP solution solve the same problem in
	different ways, with no new protocols, just describe how to use
	existing tools.

      Kent: 
	MOBIKE is between MN and HA...if there is an FA MOBIKE can not be
	used.

      Someone: 
	This is not design for fast handoffs

      Vijay: 
	Yes, you can probably combine it with fast handoff mechs

      Henrik: 
	Realize that although MOBIKE provides mobility it is not designed
	for fast handoffs.

      Discussion: 
	Both the dual MIP and MIP/MOBIKE solutions require cooperation
	between the two Mobility clients.

      Discussion: do we need both solutions? Henrik/Vijay say yes, Gopal says
	no. lets take it offline...  Discussion continues for a little
	while more, but Gopal does not have the same viewpoint as others.

      Henrik:
	Should we adopt this? As part of the already described VPN
	problem statement? Or should we merge the two solution in one doc to
	fully describe the problem and solutions?

      Gopal: 
	Lets not try the dualMIP solution for this.

      Vijay: 
	I think dualMIP is stable. This new one is simple 10pg long. We
	do not need to merge. Lets make them consistent/clean-up.

      Henrik: 
	OK, no merging. 
	So should we adopt? 12-15 yes. 7 say they will
	work on it. OK it will be added. 0 say no.

      Hesham: 
	We should no really have multiple solutions...although I do not
	have any problem with this particular solution.

      Henrik. 
	I agree in general, but the two solutions are separate.

      Hesham: 
	but what should the MN implement?

      Henrik: Yes the default should be addressed.

      Gopal: Why not do this in MOBIKE. We now going to have two
	solutions...back and forth with Henrik...take it offline.

   Conclusion:
      There is rough consensus in the working group for taking this on,
      with some dissent about describing 2 (complementary) solutions.
      This will be proposed as a new work item in the updated charter.



10. Mobile IPv4 Home Agent Switch Message:                      Hui Deng
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-jin-mip4-ha-switch-00.txt

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-ha-switch.pdf

   This document specifies a new MIP4 control message that can be used
   between a home agent and mobile node to signal a mobile node that it
   should acquire a new home agent.

   Discussion: 
	Applicability. Take down could be done by rejecting requests or
	use of redundant HA. 

      Kent: 
	Operationally it might be useful for various reasons like errors
	or change in billing etc.

      Henrik: 
	Yes applicability is not defined enough. The general capability
	of notification message may be useful.

      Henrik: 
	Should we take this specific draft on? 6 say yes, 2-3 say they
	will work on it. 1 says no

      Henrik: 
	Should we take on the general idea? 20 say yes, 2-3 say they
	will work, 0 say no
      Henrik: 
	OK we go with the general idea.

   Conclusion:
      A new draft is needed, describing a general notification message.
      The WG will consider adoption of such a draft when it is available.

11. Binding Identifier Extension for Mobile IPv4:         Nobuo Ogashiwa
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-ogashiwa-mip4-bid-extension-00.txt

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-bid-extension.pdf

   This document specifies a new extension which carries a care-of
   address binding identifier, for the purpose of being able to couple
   tear-down and set-up of bindings when simultaneous bindings are used.

   Discussion: 

      This is dealing with complex issues. Some think that it enables
      complicated things to happen but we do not have to get into all of
      that. Some think that it does not do anything without defining how
      you set up the routing tables

      Henrik: 
	We tried to define how routing tables are set-up before but the
	WG and Chairs did not want to do this. You can also do this with
	a dereg followed by a reg. If not then you probably have other
	assumptions.  Maybe we need to have a bof on multi-homed
	MIP4...this is too immature.

      Hesham: 
	The chairs now are ok (after many year) to work on multi-homing
	and MIP4? >laughs<

      Henrik: 
	yes :-)

      Henrik: 
	Should we take this draft on? 0 say yes, 3 say no

      Henrik: 
	Should either here or in a BOF or in MONAMI6 we should work on
	multi-homing on MIP4? 25 say yes, 0 say no. Will consult with Pete
	and IESG to figure out how to proceed.

12. RADIUS attributes for Mobile-IP v4:                       Kent Leung
------------------------------------------------------------------------
   draft-nakhjiri-radius-mip4-01.txt

   Slides: http://mip4.org/ietf63/mip4-radius.pdf

   Kent gives a short update on the RADIUS attribute draft.  No
   discussion.

Hi Pasi and Vijay,

I finally found time to read this draft. Overall, I like it
a lot. Some of its good properties include simplicity,
minimal changes to both existing VPN plumbing and
MIPv4 systems, and the separation between the two.
I support taking this work forward.

Technical:

> 3.  Solution Overview

I started to wonder whether there's something here
that would apply in similar manner to Mobile IPv6. There
does not appear to be any specific dependency on Mobile
IPv4 here. Doing the same for Mobile IPv6 appears to
be possible, although doing VPN + IPsec-based
home agent security would imply nested IPsec tunnels.
Interestingly, with v6 RO you could eliminate the
second (inner) tunnel in your solution.

But perhaps that discussion falls under the scope of
the v4-v6 interoperability scheme.

In any case, I think it would be useful to think about
this matter in order to ensure that we don't have
too fragmented solutions (this works for v6 only;
that you can do only if you also access a corporate
VPN; it connects v4 and v6 but doesn't work if you
combine it with VPNs; etc).

> 3.4  Crossing Security Boundaries
>
>    Security boundary detection is based on the reachability of the i-HA
>    from the mobile node's current point of attachment.

I think it would be useful to recognize that there
can be other sources of information. I like the fact
that you have defined one mandated scheme here
but its quite possible that there will e.g. L2 assist
or configuration information in some cases; lets
not rule that out.

> 3.4.1  Operation when moving from an untrusted network

Is there a need to talk about the specific SPD policy
settings that are necessary to enable MIPv4
operations to be carried through a VPN tunnel?

Or are we assuming (the most often used)
all-or-nothing VPN model?

> 3.4.2  Operation when moving from a trusted network

Lets remember that MOBIKE has mechanisms not
just for movements, but also for multihoming support
and the ability to detect problems. I suppose there
has to be some specification here about the
interaction between problem detection mechanisms
in MIPv4 and MOBIKE -- unless we are restricting
this spec to situations where we get information
from L2 that we have moved.

> Appendix A.  Mobility Extensions for IKEv1

I would rather not see this defined in this document.
Personally, I'd favor recommending an upgrade to IKEv2,
but if that's not sufficient then it would make sense to
have a discussion elsewhere in the IETF (maybe in the
MOBIKE WG or on the IPsec mailing list) about whether
this is needed, and how it should be provided.

Editorial:

>    typically, separated by a DMZ.  Access to the intranet is controlled

Expand DMZ on its first occurrence.

>    1.  Initiate IKE mobility exchange to update the current address with
>        the VPN gateway.  If the new network is also untrusted, this will
>        be enough for setting up the connectivity.  If the new network is
>        trusted, and if the VPN gateway is reachable, this exchange will
>        allow the mobile node to keep the VPN state alive while in the
>        trusted side.  If the VPN gateway is not reachable from inside,
>        then this exchange will fail.
>    2.  At the same time as step 1, send a Mobile IPv4 Registration
>        Request to the internal Home Agent without VPN encapsulation.
>    3.  If the mobile node receives a Registration Response to the
>        request sent in step 2, then the current subnet is a trusted
>        subnet, and the mobile node can communicate without VPN
>        tunneling.  The mobile node MAY tear down the VPN tunnel.

Maybe renumber these "1a", "1b", and "2" for clarity (or something
similar). Other occurrences later in the document, too.

The problem I see w.r.t. to using IKEv2/MOBIKE is that it does
not, alone, match the current problem statement.  The assumption
made in draft-ietf-mip4-vpn-problem-statement-03.txt is that
existing deployed VPN infrastructure should be used (see e.g.
Section 5.1).

As far as I can see, this makes IKEv1 support mandatory, which
is reflected in the current VPN solution draft (essentially the
same mechanism, but uses an outer MIPv4 layer to compensate for
lack of IPsec mobility support).

If we drop the "deployed VPN" requirement, we're defining a new
solution for the problem.  Such a solution does not ease the
perceived MIPv4 deployment issue of existing VPN infrastructure.
I'm not sure the perception is correct, but it was included in
the problem statement because several vendors thought it was
relevant.

If we decide that there is no deployment issue w.r.t. MIPv4 and
already deployed VPNs, we should IMO take a larger view of
improving MIPv4/VPN coexistence.  Minimizing overlap between
the two mechanisms would give a much better solution.  For
instance, there is room for improvement in MIPv4 packet overhead,
MIPv4/VPN compression interactions, and integrated MIPv4/VPN
packet authentication.

As discussed in earlier e-mails, I believe that:

  1. A solution document should address current VPN deployment.

  2. There are multiple VPN technologies currentl in use.  For
     instance, let's not forget L2TP/IPsec which probably accounts
     for a sizable chunk of deployments.

  3. Because no new protocols are needed specifically for MIPv4/VPN
     coexistence, the most appropriate way of dealing with the
     solution space would be an applicability statement of existing
     protocols for the enterprise scenario.

Best,

I understand that this draft is mainly a bug fix revision.
It seems reasonable, overall. Some small technical issues/
questions, clarifications, and nits below, however:

The challenge rules are almost the same for all error cases,
except the last one. I realize that the last one is a serious
error, and there's little that the mobile node can do about
it. However, the rules appear to imply that a new challenge
value is required in all cases, except if you retry after
HA_WRONG_CHALLENGE. Is there a reason for this? Presumably
if you want to retry the registration just in case the system
now works correctly, you would want to use a new, fresh
Challenge.

If there is no reason for this difference, I would suggest
deleting some of the case-specific rules above and replacing
them with generic text at the bottom of the section, saying
something like:

  "In any case, if the mobile node attempts to register again
   after such an error, it MUST use a new Challenge value
   in such a registration, obtained either from an Agent Advertisement,
   or from a Challenge extension to the Registration Reply containing
   the error."

(And even this may be unnecessary, given that there is also a requirement
close to this in Section 4.)

> 11.  IANA Considerations
>
>    All protocol values in this specification are to be the same as
>    defined in RFC 3012 [RFC3012].  Additionaly, new error codes

Are IANA considerations & rules needed for the Subtype field
and SPI 0-255 range defined in Section 5?

> The protocol messages for handling the authentication within the
>  verification infrastructure, and identity of the agent performing the

I'm not sure I understand the part that begins "identity of the agent".
Also, mobile IP entities appear to have to be involved, at least the FA
is involved. Of course there can be other intermediate nodes such
as AAA proxies or authentication servers that are not Mobile IP
entities.

The fact that you are not specifying the verification infrastructure
becomes clear already earlier in Appendix B, so one way to deal with
this paragraph is to remove it.

>       Preceding Mobile IP data || Type, Subtype, Length, SPI

"Preceding Mobile IP data" is not explained. All bytes preceding
the start of the option in question, presumably? But starting
from the IP, UDP, or Mobile IP header or something else?

Editorial:

>    defined in RFC 3012 [RFC3012].  Additionaly, new error codes

s/additionaly/additionally/

>    node has attempted to use.  The following stylized programmatic
>    algorithm accomplishes this objective.  The maximum amount of total

Maybe s/stylized programmatic algorithm/pseudo-code algorithm/

> Appendix A.  Change History

Might be an idea to clean this up to a "What's New vs. RFC3012"
section. Right now its hard to see if all the changes are true
technical changes from 3012, editorial modifications, or just
back-and-forth modifications between draft revisions.

Other editorial issues:

I spent quite a bit of time trying to understand all the "MUST
precede" rules relating to the order of the options (Sect 3, Sect
6, etc). Its still hard to get an overview, and its also hard to
convince yourself that the specification of these rules is
complete and unambiguous. But I don't have a good suggestion
for a better way to describe the rules.

>       Least-order 237 bytes from Challenge
>       ...
>    using MD5.  Finally, the least significant 237 bytes of the challenge

Would "last 237 bytes" be easier to understand?

I read this draft. In general, it seems very useful to
document & standardize the aaa-side of the mobile ipv4
authentication protocols. (Would there be commitment
from pp2 to take this?)

I don't have a lot of comments, it seems pretty straightforward
given the things that we've already defined in other specifications.
I wish the Diameter - RADIUS translation was easier or even
automatic, but I don't see other way around this given that
RFC 4004 was already published.

Some technical comments:

Section 5 description of attributes that already exist
was confusing. Suggest splitting section 5 to new
attributes and instruction for the use of old attributes
parts.

Section 6 needs more details. Maybe ok for an -01, though.

Presumably this draft is still structurally and key-wise
the same as RFC 4004? If no, that would make the
implementation of a RADIUS-Diameter gateway even
harder.

Some editorial nits:

>    The HA may reside in the mobile node=C6s home domain, in which case =
HA=20

Non-ASCII char. In several places, applies to double quotes
too.

This draft is not specific to 3GPP2.  In fact, many non-3GPP2 Mobile IP
deployments today use Cisco vendor specific attributes due to lack of
standardized AVPs.  So it has general applicability.  Definitely 3GPP2
can leverage these new AVPs in the next revision for reference if they
like to.

------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, there  has been  a growing research  and practical
interest   on  wireless   mesh  networks.   Academia,  large
industrial  research  labs,   and  start-up  companies  have
ongoing  projects   related  to  various   aspects  of  mesh
networks.  All these  efforts and  experimental  studies are
geared   towards  real   applications   in  home   networks,
enterprise networks, and  community networks that we already
see today, and more can be envisioned in near future.

To create a venue for  leading experts in this field to meet
and  discuss  theory,   practice,  experience,  vision,  and
research issues  on this  timely subject, we  are organizing
the First IEEE  Communication Society's Workshop on Wireless
Mesh Networks  (WiMesh 2005) in conjunction  with IEEE SECON
2005.

Hi,

[back on the mailing list now]

This thread concerns the possibility of having more than one HA create
a binding for a given MN.  It seems true that the RRQ created by the
MN, if delivered to multiple HAs, could potentially create state on
each of those HAs.  However, I think we are making too much out of the
possibility.  An attacker that has the power to duplicate packets
(changing the destination IP address) and drop selected packets can
pretty much prevent a mobile IP registration from taking place.

Rather, I think we should focus on the correctness of the protocol in
the absence of attackers: there is a requirement for a unicast
destination address on the packet so only one HA will receive it in a
normal protocol run.  I do not think we need to add special mechanisms
like the infinite/short lifetime that is being proposed or the
requirement for an FA-HA MSA.  I think these requirements would
unfairly limit the deployment possibilities.

It seems to me that it should suffice to put in some text in the
security considerations about this issue.  We might also consider
adding text that says if the MN gets RRPs from more than one HA it
must immediately de-register the extra unwanted bindings.

-Pete

Certainly makes sense to me.

yes its possible. infact in 3GPP2-WLAN IW, this is already
being considered. a MIPv6 tunnel with a HA through an IPsec
tunnel with the PDIF. I thought about writing up a draft
for MIPv6 too, but nobody is asking for it right now. :)
also for MIPv6, it might make sense to collapse the VPN
gateway and the HA into the same box.

very true. we hint about this in the draft.

    There could also be some out-of-band mechanisms that involve
    configuring the wireless access points with some information which
    the mobile node can recognize as access points that belong to the
    trusted network in an enterprise network.  Such mechanisms are beyond
    the scope of this document.

I prefer the MIPv4 signaling messages and the IP-in-IP packets
appearing to the IPsec tunnel as ordinary traffic. if the
all-or-nothing VPN model is not used (very rare), then we need
to add selectors so that the MIPv4 signaling messages and
IP-in-IP packets are not discarded.

I think this is implementation specific. the mobile node could
get information from multiple sources, MOBIKE, MIPv4, L2,
802.21, etc... the host implementation on the mobile node should
decide what to do with the information from all these sources.
we shouldnt venture into specifying how they can work together.
what do you think?

[Ahmad]
Since you agree that this attack is valid and possible and if this
attack is successful with a single MN, then it is possible for almost
every MN requesting Dynamic HA on the compromised FA-HA link. That could
be devastating to the HA domain. I hope you agree.

[Ahmad]
If we think along this line, we probably do not need any security
measures in MIPv4 protocol to start with. On the other hand, why RFC
(3543) mandates the FA to have a security association with the HA to
participate in registration revocation?

> can=20

[Ahmad]
Of course, that is true. That is why we need to make sure that we have a
secure solution (protocol) to prevent such attacks.

[Ahmad]
Is that a MIPv4 WG mandate or just your opinion?

[Ahmad]
Thinking of normal protocol run; If all what we are looking for is just
normal protocol run, then why do we have all of these security
associations and extensions in all of the RFCs related to MIPv4
protocol.

[Ahmad]
I respectfully disagree. If such attack happens, service providers may
not be able to serve their own legitimate customers. It will cost them a
lot of money.

[Ahmad]
If we clearly highlight the security issue and this mailing list has a
consensus, I have no problem at all.

[Ahmad]
Could you please explain to me how this is possible in a case when FA is
present in the call path. Thanks.

I wouldn't use the word "devastating."  If the HAs are on different
subnets, it creates some extra state that has no effect on the overall
operation of the system and which will timeout after the first
Lifetime.

If the HAs are on the same subnet, however, it will create a
competition for the gratuitous/proxy ARP which would have an effect on
the reliability of the traffic, so I can see your point of view here.

I am not saying we don't need security, just that we need to consider
the big picture.  If you think about the most likely deployment
scenarios for this draft, there will be a single AAA server that is
responsible for allocating a home agent address and for distributing
security associations.  Inserting requests into a secure AAA
infrastructure is a lot harder than inserting a duplicate (destination
address modified) packet.

Even if the Registration Request is sent directly to an HA, it will
most likely be protected by an MN-AAA authentication extension, and
the central AAA server can prevent duplicate sessions.

You are right I think - the FA would drop the extra RRPs because it
would be looking for a response from the unicast HA to which it sent
the message.  Of course, if the RRQ was sent to the AAA infrastructure
ala RFC 4004, then there is no issue.

Perhaps what we need is a note in the security considerations that
mentions the possibility of multiple HAs on the same subnet getting
the registration request and independently authenticating it.  This
will be possible in some deployments and impossible (e.g., centralized
AAA server validating MN-AAA auth extension) in others.  If it is
possible, then maybe we need to return a successful binding with
Lifetime=0 which will indicate to the MN that it needs to immediately
re-register with the assigned HA.

Yes. I still view that as the main and most urgent
use case, so the problem statement is OK. However,
I believe we are also at a situation where we can
see future deployments (particularly those based on
IKEv2) start to do new things. I don't see a problem
with pursuing two tracks simultaneously. Its not
like they would be two redundant solutions, its more
like points in different stages of evolution.

I believe we will eventually get there. Probably step
by step, however. I view Vijay's draft one of those
steps... eliminating one unnecessary level in the stack.
Or are you arguing that we should spend more time thinking
what to do, if we discard the no-changes-at-all
assumption?

Right, I agree.  And I agree we can pursue two tracks at the same
time.  However, given that these two tracks have so much in common,
it doesn't seem useful to specify them in two seemginly separate
specifications.  Given the way the solutions are specified,
x-MIP + IKEv1 vs. MOBIKE + IKEv2 are just two different access modes.
The overall approach, the intranet detection, etc, are all same.

But stepping back a little, if we relax either the "existing VPN"
or "minimal MIPv4 changes" assumptions, we get a number of different
solutions.  For instance:

    - A *very* straightforward way of getting mobility without x-MIP
      (and just IKEv1+IPsec) is just to use the "implicit ESP update"
      mechanism already deployed by some vendors.  I believe a similar
      mechanism is used in the MIPv6 + IPsec draft.  This is rather
      simple to implement and does away with the x-MIP overhead
      completely.

    - We could specify IKEv1 mobility extensions to allow more or less
      the same effect albeit with more vendor effort.  Vijay's draft's
      Appendix has a suggestion for this.

    - Looking at x-MIP, we can also eliminate x-MIP overhead completely
      by defining an optimization extension between the MN and the x-HA.
      This approach retains FA support, while eliminating all x-MIP
      overhead in non-FA scenarios.  The rough approach was described in
      draft-vaarala-mip4-optudp-00 [*].

    - A very important concern in practice is managing the keys and
      authentication in a dual MIP or MOBIKE+MIP solution.  Should we
      define something to make this easier?

At least to me it's not at all clear which avenue would produce the
best possible solution - minimal changes, maximum impact, and maximum
generality (especially).  So going past absolute minimum changes (dual
MIP) needs more thought on what criteria we should apply to solutions.

I think we should work on defining what the longer term goal is w.r.t.
IPsec and MIPv4 integration.  I don't think it's clear people agree
what that goal should be.  And proposing, discussing, and comparing
solutions beyond dual MIP is difficult at the moment, because we have
nothing to compare them against.

As far as dual MIP is concerned, going forward with it would be useful
as a baseline and as documenting existing practice (as far as I know,
some people are deploying it, although I'm not sure at what scale).
But if we agree on working on a better long-term solution, that would
of course be preferable to working on a limited dual MIP solution.

Best,

-Sami

Hi Vijay,=20

Adding some more comments inline on this very interesting draft.

I also would like to see a draft to cover the MIP6 case.
Furthermore, even though 3GPP has not spelled it out yet,
this work might have relevance in there also. Their 3G-WLAN
interworking has an IKEv2 scenario -- from where a leap
towards MOBIKE isn't that big anymore ;)

>From a telco (3GPP-WLAN interworking) perspective MOBIKE with
MIP6 could actually provide one solution for migration in
heterogeneous access network. I was thinking of the case,
where the cellular using MIP6 would be considered as the
trusted network and the other accesses (read WLANs etc) as
untrusted. There MOBIKE could be used to provide access also
in untrusted IPv4 access networks. Any comments?

[Ahmad]
In the case where HA's assign IP addresses from local pools, this means
a waste of IP addresses. Now, if this attack is possible for one MN, it
can be possible for many MN's and probably drain HA resources of IP
addresses. It could be a real problem.

[Ahmad]
I am not sure about the concept of a single AAA server. Anyway, you are
basically proving my point here. You just highlighted that the reason
that we do not need to worry about this issue when the deployment uses
AAA infrastructure is that AAA infrastructure is a SECURE one. On the
other hand, you seem not to agree to make the FA-HA link a secure one
for the other deployment. Why don't we agree to make that link secure
too. It is nothing new, already existing FA and HA most probably support
registration revocation which requires FA-HA security association.

[Ahmad]
You are assuming a SINGLE statefull AAA server in this one.

[Ahmad]
I do not agree that this belongs to the security consideration section.
IMO it is more serious than that and it should be considered under the
FA consideration section. On the other hand, your suggestion (lifetime =
=3D
0) defeats the basic principle of Dynamic HA being established in a
single round trip registration. If we need to use 2 round trip
registration, I believe what RFC(3344) already has makes more sense. HA
reject the RRQ with code (136) Unknown HA Address and inserts its own
unicast IP address in the HA field of the RRP. Then MN sends RRQ using
the HA unicast IP address as per the HA address in RRP.=20

Hi, Ahmad,

I think I see your point now, but I still disagree that we need to
mandate FA-HA security association in all cases.  Think about the MIP4
Diameter application where the security is hop-by-hop: the RRQ arrives
at the HA via the AAA server and the HAs can be configured to accept
initial RRQs only from this interface.  I don't think we need to
require the FA/HA MSA in this case; it is provided indirectly via the
hop-by-hop AAA security.

Hi Pete,

I agree on the example you just mentioned. However, it seems that we
agree on the concept but differ on the wording. What about if we come up
with something generic to all cases and more specific to others. I will
try by adding the following. Please feel free to comment or modify as
needed.

under section 5.2 Foreign Agent Considerations:=20

   During the registration process, if the foreign agent wishes to
   participate in dynamic home agent allocation process with a home=20
   domain, it MUST utilize a mechanism that provides secure transmission

   of the registration request to the home agent which is identified to=20
   server this registration request. In the case where FA relays the
registration=20
   request directly to the home agent, Foreign Agent must have an
existing=20
   security association with that home agent.

What do you think?

Regards,
Ahmad

Hi Ahmad and Pete.

I think there there are 2 methods to address the issue, which is
arguably unlikely scenario, IMHO.  The pros and cons of the solution is
restriction of mandatory SA between FA and HA vs. 2 round trips.

1) Use FHAE to protect that FA-HA signaling path. Since not every FA and
HA will have an SA, this is a major limiting factor.

2) Either use a short lifetime value for initial registration reply by
the HA which mitigates any malicious effort to a few seconds or reject
RRQ outright and have MN re-register once more with HA field set.

I personally favor one of the choices in option #2.

Hi Kent,

I would recommend keeping both.=20
I mean we could specify that in the case of using one round trip
registration for Dynamic HA, an FHAE is needed to protect the RRQ. On
the other hand, if FA-HA SA is not available, a two round trip RRQ is
required as specified in RFC3344.

If we agree on the concept, then we can come up with some wording.

Regards,
Ahmad

I agree with Sami.

1) x-MIP solution should go forth as it directly addressed the problem
statement, RFC 4093.

2) Now, there is the effort to provide a solution that can avoid the
extra tunnel overhead on the airlink and layering on the MN for data
traffic.

For #2, assuming this is the new requirement/problem statement to
support VPN traversal, one possible solution is MOBIKE while another is
x-MIP with optimization.  MOBIKE requires changes to VPN GW and can't
work with FAs.  X-MIP w/optimization don't have these restrictions.
It's worth defining the requirements of the long-term solution.

which solution? draft-devarapalli-mip4-mobike-connectivity-00.txt
is definitely not targeting this. it is only addressing a scenario
where IKEv2 IPsec VPNs with MOBIKE support are used. it is doing
this because there are some immediate use cases.

however, I would support an effort to define requirements for a
more optimal solution involving MIPv4 and *any kind* of VPN
gateway and encourage MIPv4 WG to look into an optimal solution.

>=20

OK.  I read the following and interpreted the draft proposed a solution
that addressed the identified shortcomings of x-MIP draft.

draft-devarapalli-mip4-mobike-connectivity-00.txt:

   "There has been some work done on using Mobile IPv4 and IPsec VPNs to
   provide roaming and secure connectivity to an enterprise [10].  The
   solution described in [10] was designed with certain restrictions,
   including requiring no modifications to the VPN gateways and involves
   the use of two layers of MIPv4, with one Home Agent inside the
   intranet and one in the Internet or in the DMZ before the VPN
   gateway.  The per-packet overhead is very high in this solution.  It
   is also challenging to implement and have two instances of MIPv4
   active at the same time on a mobile node.=20

   This document describes an alternate solution that does not require
   two layers of MIPv4.  "

Then later, I see your clarification stated later.  OK.

   "The solution described in this document uses
   Mobile IPv4 when the mobile node is on the trusted network and MOBIKE
   capable IPsec VPNs when mobile node is on the untrusted network. "

>=20

OK.  Should this draft be under the scope of such general solution?  A
IKEv2/MOBIKE VPN GW is a specific type of "any kind" of VPN GW, right?
:) =20
