Abstract

   Constrained IoT devices often operate more efficiently in a loosely
   coupled environment without maintaining end-to-end connectivity
   between nodes.  Information Centric Networking naturally supports
   this demand by replicated data distribution and hop wise forwarding.
   This document outlines a deployment option for NDN in low-power and
   lossy networks (LLNs) that follows a publish-subscribe pattern.  The
   proposed protocol scheme simplifies name-based routing significantly
   and facilitates even large off-duty cycles for constrained nodes.

1.  Introduction

   In the emerging Internet of Things (IoT), it is expected that large
   quantities of very constrained sensors and actuators collect,
   communicate, and process massive amounts of machine data.  Early
   experiments with constrained nodes show promising results for
   different deployments of ICN communication [NDN-EXP].  NDN stacks for
   the IoT tend to be less resource-consuming and more lightweight, the
   hop wise caching and forwarding indicate higher reliability and lower
   sensitivity to disruptions than end-to-end IP solutions.  Most
   notably, security and resiliance of nodes and networks are enhanced
   by the NDN request-response scheme, where data delivery remains
   receiver-initiated.

   The following properties are characteristic for constrained IoT
   environments:

   o  Battery-powered nodes with significant sleep cycles

   o  Low memory reserves, but potentially large (flash) storage

   o  Failing nodes due to various external or internal reasons

   o  Low power lossy wireless networks

   These various constraints pose significant challenges on a real-world
   deployment of NDN networks, among them [RFC7927]:

   o  The complexity of name-based routing may overburden link and
      memory capacities.

   o  State management at nodes may drain batteries or memory resources.

   o  Clear separation between control and data plane potentially
      increases

   o  An adaptation to the constrained wireless link and transmission
      characteristics will often be required (see
      [I-D.gundogan-icnrg-ccnlowpan]).

   o  Mobility management will need to aid non-stationary deployments.

   o  Intermittent connectivity may occur from mobility or temporarily
      fragmenting networks.

1.1.  Baseline Scenarios

   Multiple scenarios have been discussed in [RFC7476] and [IWMT] that
   evaluate the applicability of ICN in IoT.

   We consider two characteristic constrained IoT scenarios with the
   enumerated challenges below.

   Stationary IoT nodes within reach of fixed uplinks  for home,
      building, and factory automation, stationary monitoring, and
      related stable environments:

      *  Reliability, resilience of operation

      *  Radio coordination, coverage

      *  Energy constraints, device lifetime

      *  Interference with rivaling appliances

   Mobile IoT nodes with sparse coverage or intermittent connectivity
      for urban or rural mobility and sensing, industrial Internet in
      widespread environments, disaster recovery and rescue, and related
      unstable environments:

Internet-Draft           NDN Pub-Sub in the IoT               March 2018


      *  Exploit connectivity when available

      *  Large off-duty cycles of nodes

      *  Partitioned networks

      *  Limited dependability

      *  Environmental impact and disturbance

   IoT scenarios usually impose routing requirements to support mobile
   nodes, handle failing links and to be resilient against attacks.  A
   secure and autonomous bootstrapping is essential, especially for
   large-scale IoT deployments.

1.2.  Benefits of Loose Coupling in the IoT

   ICN decouples content consumers from data producers (decoupling in
   space).  A more sophisticated decoupling can be provided with the
   publish-subscribe messaging pattern that further adds a decoupling in
   time and synchronization.  Constrained devices in LLNs can leverage
   this loose coupling to increase sleep cycles and delegate the
   authority over as much information as possible to more powerful
   devices that act as content proxies.  In Figure 1, once content is
   published to the content proxy (CP) by a producer (P), consumers (C)
   can retrieve this content from (CP) without interacting with the
   producer.  This indirection when retrieving information allows (P) to
   align sleep cycles accordingly to the period of generating new sensor
   readings, instead of handling content requests from any consumers
   (C).

                                 (CP)
                                / | \
                               /  |  `-----.
                              /   |  |  |   \
                             (P) (C) ...... (C)

        Figure 1: Content Proxy (CP) - Producer (P) - Consumer (C)

   The NDN communication follows a request-response pattern and prevents
   an unsolicited push of data.  While this design must be seen as a
   vital security feature that prevents common DDoS attacks, no
   straight-forward mechanism for issuing an unsolicited alert between
   nodes has been foreseen which is desired in many use cases of sensors
   and actuators.  Several extensions have been proposed to enable an
   unsolicited push of data, among them Interest-follows-Interest,
   Interest notification, and a dedicated push packet.  All these push
   messages are sent immediately to a prospective consumer node, which

   not only conflicts with the ICN paradigm of naming content instead of
   hosts, but re-open the DoS attack surface.

   In this memo, we introduce the different approach of a (local) 'Hop
   and Pull' [HoPP].  We assume the presence of a link-local control
   message for alerting next-hop neighbors.  Such single-hop alerts
   advertise names (NAM-messages), or prefixes (PAM-mesage).  Nodes that
   receive such local control information may either update their
   control plane (routing tables) or decide to pull content from its
   neighboring nodes.  In this way, the NDN request-response pattern for
   data transmission remains fully intact, while control functions and
   time-critical update alerts become available as first class citizens
   in the ICN scheme.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
   The use of the term, "silently ignore" is not defined in RFC 2119.
   However, the term is used in this document and can be similarly
   construed.

   This document uses the terminology of [RFC7476], [RFC7927], and
   [RFC7945] for ICN entities.

   The following terms are used in the document and defined as follows:

   Converge Cast  Many-to-One communication pattern, where multiple
      devices send sensor readings to one gateway.

   Content Proxy  Stable node for replicating content.

   Cloud Gateway  A Gateway that enables content transfer to and from a
      remote cloud storage, possibly by performing some kind of protocol
      translation.

   PAM  Prefix Advertisement Message.

   NAM  Name Advertisement Message.

3.  Publish-Subscribe in IoT Edge Networks

   The publish-subscribe system is centered around prefix-specific
   content proxies (CPs) that are deployed in IoT edge networks.  Such
   proxy function can be hosted on the Cloud- or Internet Gateway, or
   may reside on a stable, less constrained node within the IoT

   infrastructure.  It is assumed that a CP is present for each prefix
   covering publishable content.

   Implementing a pub-sub NDN involves several steps that are bound to
   the tight requirements of resource-constrained devices.  These steps
   include:

   1.  Building the prefix-specific routing topology tailored to
       constrained networks

   2.  Mapping _Publish_ to NDN semantics

   3.  Mapping _Subscribe_ to NDN semantics

3.1.  Topology Maintenance and Routing

   A (sensor) node that wants to publish a data item needs to rely on
   path information towards the Content Proxy.  Following the approach
   of PANINI [PANINI], default routes will be established as follows.

   Each CP in the local IoT sub-network advertises the prefix(es) it
   represents to the routing system.  It does so by broadcasting Prefix
   Advertisement Messages (PAMs) on the link layer (see Section 4 for
   the corresponding protocol details).  Nodes that newly receive PAM
   advertisements will add or refresh a prefix-specific default route in
   their FIB.  Intermediate nodes in a multi-hop environment also re-
   broadcast PAMs, so that the entire sub-network is flooded and default
   route entries build a shortest path tree (SPT) towards the CP as
   shown in Table 1 (alternatively, a DODAG w.r.t. a gateway for
   redundant CPs).

                                       (CP)
                                       /  \
                                 PAM  /    \ PAM
                                    (A)    (B)
                                    /|\    /|\
                                   : : :  : : : PAM

      Figure 2: SPT building by Prefix Advertisement Messages (PAMs)

   Information flowing from constrained sensor nodes towards a gateway
   is the prevalent communication pattern in the IoT (converge cast).
   The publish-subscribe system hence establishes a default routing (see
   sample FIB in Table 1) and uses the tree topology with default routes
   towards the CP as a first step of content aggregation.  Content
   replication towards other CPs, an Internet gateway, or into a cloud
   can follow subsequently.

             Table 1: FIB with a prefix-specific default route

   It is noteworthy that the role of the new PAM message remains
   orthogonal to the existing Interest or Data semantics.  A PAM never
   carries data nor requests, but resides on the control plane of name-
   based routing.  User applications stay unaffected, and continue to
   rely on the NDN-specific request-response paradigm.

   Each node in the tree calculates a rank based on the rank of its
   parent and a routing metric.  Hence, the rank is an indication for
   the position within the tree and is strictly monotonically increasing
   in the downwards direction from root to leaf.  For simplicity, this
   document uses the hop-count routing metric to calculate the rank.
   Future work can focus on more elaborate routing metrics, e.g., to
   reduce packet retransmissions or improve load balancing for publish
   operations.

   The Routing Information Base (RIB) contains the following
   information:

   SPT

      Prefix:
         Variable length prefix to configure a prefix-specific default
         route

      Rank:
         16-bit unsigned integer indicating a node's rank

      Flags:
         8-bit unsigned integer to store SPT related flags

      Parent
         The appropriate face towards the parent node is stored.

   NAM Cache (NC)
      Entries in the NAM Cache are _<name,downstream_face>_ tuples.  The
      NC is consolidated when propagating name advertisements.

3.2.  Mapping Publish to NDN

   In classical publish-subscribe systems, a Publish is typically
   implemented as a push mechanism on the data plane.  However, this
   contradicts the request-response paradigm employed by NDN.  To adapt
   the Publish operation to NDN semantics, it is split into two phases
   and the required push mechanism is performed on the control plane
   with a link-local scope.  The two phases consist of:

   1.  Announcing names of Named Data Objects (NDO) to neighbors on the
       control plane

   2.  Requesting NDOs on the data plane

   In the first phase, the name of the NDO to publish is advertised to
   the prefix-specific upstream neighbor by encoding it with TLV format
   in a unicast link-local Name Advertisement Message (NAM) adopted from
   PANINI [PANINI].  Once an upstream neighbor receives an unsolicited
   NAM, the name is extracted and along with the incoming face stored in
   the NAM Cache (NC) as a _<name,downstream_face>_ tuple.  This link-
   local content signaling does not establish any data paths in the PIT,
   nor does it modify the FIB or the Content Store (CS).

   In the second phase and as a result of an unsolicited NAM, the
   content is requested from the downstream neighbor according to the
   standard NDN scheme with an Interest message for the name recorded in
   the NC on the recorded face (see [HoPP]).  When a downstream neighbor
   replies with the content (Data message), this neighbor removes the
   corresponding NC entry and the NDO to publish is successfully
   replicated one hop closer towards the content proxy.  NC entries are
   thus short-lived for hop-wise replication only.

   Both phases are iteratively repeated hop-wise until the content proxy
   is reached.  Being the root of this prefix-specific spanning tree,
   the content proxy has no further prefix-specific upstream neighbor
   and the replication terminates.  It is noteworthy, that both phases
   can be interleaved, so that NAMs are signaled to the upstream
   neighbor, while the content is requested from the downstream
   neighbor.

   Figure 3 (a) depicts the hop-wise replication of a published content
   on the gradient towards the (CP).  In this example, the name _/HAW/
   temp_t_ is advertised by the producer (P) to its parent node (A).
   (A) extracts the name from the NAM and stores it along with the
   incoming face in its NC.  (A) then propagates the NAM further to its
   parent (CP) and simultaneously requests the content from (P) as
   depicted in Figure 3 (b).  Likewise in Figure 3 (c), (CP) reacts to

   the incoming NAM by requesting the content from (A).  NC states from
   (A) and (P) are removed as soon as they respond to the request.

3.3.  Mapping Subscribe to NDN

   In the proposed publish-subscribe system, the _Subscribe_ operation
   is equivalent to an Interest-based request of previously learned
   content names.  A device can learn about new content in various ways:

   a.  Name Advertisements by the CP via a dedicated prefix path or
       broadcast.

   b.  By requesting a named topic from the CP and receiving a specific
       name of available content in return.

   c.  By polling a name inventory / a dedicated data structure from the
       CP that records publishings and updates.  Such a data structure
       may contain indicators about the periodicity of sensor readings
       to align periodic polling schemes to sensor reading intervals.

   d.  By (offline) encoding topics into a hierarchical naming scheme of
       the form _routing prefix / topic / unique_part_.

   Consumers request topics as well as named content by regurlar
   Interest requests.  Thereby, Inerest timeouts for these requests
   serve as subscription periods, may be selected of a specific (long)
   timespan, and must be refreshed or retriggered for every publishing
   to adhere to the flow control approach of NDN.

3.4.  Content Replication in partitioned networks

   The hop-wise replication described in Section 3.2 transparently
   supports publish operations in partitioned networks.  When a publish
   operation fails to replicate content and no backup parent is in the
   vicinity (Figure 4 (b)), the node marks its sub-DAG as _floating_ by
   propagating PAMs with the floating bit set and the NC entry is
   preserved.  Once a sub-DAG becomes connected to another parent, the
   publishing is resumed (Figure 4 (c)).

         (a) Publish content (b) Publish fails (c) Finish Publish

                 Figure 4: Publish in partitioned network

   A node receiving a PAM from its parent with the floating bit set may
   rejoin the tree using another parent in the neighborhood that is
   connected to the content proxy.  Rejoining the tree may result in a
   worse rank.

3.5.  Content Replication between Proxy Instances

   Content Proxies within a network domain MAY advertise prefixes from
   an overlapping prefix range and thereby implement multiple upstreams
   in (some of) the FIBs.  According to Section 3.2, content will be
   published to these multiple CPs upstream and thus populate a
   replicated environment.

   Content Proxies MAY equally establish a subscription hierarchy
   between neighboring domains.  This requires an exchange of
   corresponding FIB entries between the involved domain.  It is
   noteworthy that a global exchange of FIB tables (e.g., Inter-provider
   peering) is beyond the scope of this document.
