This scenario assumes that a DMS (DDoS Mitigation System) whose utilization rate is high sends its blocked traffic information to an orchestrator using DOTS protocols, then the orchestrator requests forwarding nodes such as routers to filter the traffic. Doing so enables service providers to mitigate the DDoS attack traffic automatically while ensuring interoperability and distributed filter enforcement.

Introduction Volume-based distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks such as DNS amplification attacks are critical threats to be handled by service providers. When such attacks occur, service providers have to mitigate them immediately to protect or recover their services. Therefore, for the service providers to immediately protect their network services from DDoS attacks, DDoS mitigation needs to be automated. To automate DDoS attack mitigation, it is desirable that multi-vendor elements involved in DDoS attack detection and mitigation collaborate and support standard interfaces to communicate. DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) is a set of protocols for real-time signaling, threat-handling requests, and data filtering between the multi-vendor elements [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home] [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-filter-control] [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel]. This document describes an automated DDoS Mitigation offload scenario inherited from the DDoS orchestration scenario [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases], which ambitions to enable cost-effective DDoS Mitigation. Furthermore, this document describes deployment consideration for network operators who carry out this scenario using DOTS protocols in their network. This document aims to assess to what extent DOTS protocols can be used to provide the intended functionality and identify any gaps. 2. Terminology The readers should be familiar with the terms defined in [RFC8612] [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases] In addition, this document makes use of the following terms: Mitigation offload: Getting rid of a DMS's mitigation action and assigning the action to another entity when the utilization rate of the DMS reaches a given threshold. How such threshold is set is deployment-specific. Utilization rate: A scale to measure load of an entity such as link utilization rate or CPU utilization rate. 3. The Problem In general, DDoS countermeasures are divided into detection and filtering. Detection is technically challenging given the dynamic of attacks and sophisticated attack strategies. DDoS Mitigation System (DMS) can detect attack traffic based on a specific technology (provided and supposed to be updated and maintained by vendors to detect complex attacks), so service providers can increase DDoS countermeasure level by deploying the DMS in their network. However, the number/capacity of DMS instances that can be deployed in a service providers network is limited due to equipment cost and dimensioning matters. Thus, DMS's utilization rate can reach its maximum capacity faster when the volume of DDoS attacks is enormous. When the rate reaches maximum capacity, the mitigation strategy needs to offload mitigation actions from the DMS to cost-effective forwarding nodes such as routers. Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 4. DDoS Mitigation Offload Scenario This section describes offloading mitigation actions from DMS whose utilization rate is high to cost-effective forwarding node using DOTS protocols. This section does not consider deployments where the network orchestrator and DMS are co-located. Figures 1 and 2 show a sample component diagram and a sequence diagram of the deployment scenario, respectively. +--------------+ +-----------+ | | | DDoS |+ | Orchestrator |<-------| mitigation|| | |S DOTS C| systems || +--------------+ +-----------+| | +----------+ | e.g., BGP, BGP Flowspec | | +------------------+ +->| Forwarding nodes |+ +------------------+| +-----------------+ * C is for DOTS Client function * S is for DOTS Server function Figure 1: Component Diagram of DDoS Mitigation Offload Scenario The component diagram shown in Figure 1 differs from that of DDoS Orchestration scenario in [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases] in some respects. First, the DMS embeds a DOTS client to send DOTS requests to the orchestrator. Second, the orchestrator sends a request to underlying forwarding nodes to filter the attack traffic. Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 +------------+ +----------+ +------------+ | | |DDoS |+ | Forwarding |+ |Orchestrator| |Mitigation|| | Nodes || | | |Systems || | || +------------+ +----------+| +------------+| | +----------+ +------------+ | | | | DOTS Request | | |S<----------------------C| | | | | | e.g., BGP, BGP Flowspec | | | Filter Attack Traffic | | |-------------------------|------------->| | | | * C is for DOTS Client function * S is for DOTS Server function Figure 2: Sequence Diagram of DDoS Mitigation Offload Scenario In this scenario, it is assumed that volume based attack already hits a network and attack traffic is detected and blocked by a DMS in the network. When the volume-based attack becomes intense, DMS's utilization rate can reach a certain threshold (e.g., maximum capacity). Then, the DMS sends a DOTS request as offload request to the orchestrator with the actions to enforce on the traffic. After that, the orchestrator requests the forwarding nodes to filter attack traffic by dissemination of flow specification rules protocols such as BGP Flowspec [RFC5575] on the basis of the blocked traffic information. This schenario is divided into two cases based on type of link between the DMS and the orchestrator: "out-of-band case" and "in-band case". "Out-of-band case" is that the DMS sends a DOTS request to the orchestrator with blocked traffic information by the DMS via out-of- band link. The link is not congested when it is under volume attack- time, so the link can convey a lot of information. On the other hand, "in-band case" is that the DMS sends a mitigation request to the orchestrator with blocked traffic information by the DMS via in-band channel. The link can be congested when it is under volume attack-time, so the link can convey limited information. Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 5. DOTS Deployment Considerations This section describes deployment considerations: what type of DOTS protocol can be used and what type of information can be conveyed and effective by DOTS protocol in this scenario. Figure 3 shows overview of the DOTS signaling method and conveyed information for the out-of- band case and in-band case. The volume of information should be considered carefully when DOTS protocol is used in the in-band case. What type of information can be conveyed by DMS relays on attack type detected by the DMS: reflection attack or non-reflection attack. When it is under non- reflection attack, src_ip and src_port information cannot be conveyed because attackers usually randomize the parameters so number of its become enormous. On the other hand, when it is under reflection attack, dst_port information cannot be conveyed because attackers usually randomize src_port so the number of dst_port of attack packets reached to victim become enormous. Furthermore, when it is under reflection attack, src_ip information cannot be conveyed when number of reflector is enormous. Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 +-------------+-----------------------------------+------------------+ | | Reflection Attack | Non-Reflection | | | | Attack | +-------------+-----------------------------------+------------------+ | Out-of-band | Attack Time | | case | Method : Data Channel | | | Info : src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port, protocol | +-------------+-----------------------------------+------------------+ | In-band | Attack Time | Attack Time | | case | (Number of reflector is small) | Method : Signal | | | Method : Signal Channel with src | Channel | | | Info : src_ip, src_port, | Info : dst_ip, | | | dst_ip, protocol | dst_port, | | +-----------------------------------+ protocol | | | Attack Time | | | | (Number of reflector is enormous) | | | | Method : Signal Channel with src | | | | Info : src_port, dst_ip, protocol | | | +-----------------------------------+------------------+ | | Peace Time | Peace Time | | | Method : Data Channel | Method : Data | | | Info : src_port, | Channel | | | dst_ip, protocol | Info : dst_ip, | | | | dst_port, | | | | protocol | | | | | | | Attack Time | Attack Time | | | Method : Signal Channel | Method : Signal | | | Control Filtering | Channel | | | Info : ACL name | Control Filtering| | | | Info : ACL name | |-------------+------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 3: Signaling Method and Conveyed Information About offloading DMS against reflection attack, the current signal channel [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] is insufficient in terms of conveying source information. On the other hand, both signal channel extensions defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home] (called, source-* clauses hereafter) and the filtering control extensions [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-filter-control] allow for sending source information. Using src-* attributes defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home] enables signal channel to convey src_ip information and src_port information in attack time. On the other hand, filtering control extensions can activate filtering rule configured in peacetime. Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 Filtering rule for well-known port numbers abused for reflection attack can be configured to DOTS server in peacetime. However, filtering rule for reflector's IP address in attack time can't be known in peace time. So filtering control expansion can convey src_port information but can't send src_ip information against reflection attack. About sending source information in the DMS offload s scenario, the capability of the call home extension encompasses the capabilities of the filtering control extension. The following sub-sections describes example of use DOTS protocols in each case. 5.1. DOTS Signaling via Out-of-band Link In this case, the link is not congested when it is under volume attack-time, so DOTS data channel [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel] is suitable because DOTS data channel has capability of conveying the drop-listed filtering rules including (src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port, protocol) information (and other actions such as 'rate- limit'). 5.1.1. Example of using Data Channel The procedure to use DOTS Data Channel in such case is as follows: o The DMS generates a list of flow (src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port, protocol) information which the DMS is blocking/rate- limiting and wants to offload. o The DMS creates data-channel ACL such as shown figure 4. o The DMS sends the data-channel ACL to the orchestrator. { "ietf-dots-data-channel:acls": { "acl": [ { "name": "DMS_Offload_scenario_ACL", "type": "ipv4-acl-type", "activation-type": "immediate", "aces": { "ace": [ { "name": "DMS_Offload_scenario_ACE_00", "matches": { "ipv4": { "destination-ipv4-network": "192.0.2.2/32", "source-ipv4-network": "203.0.113.2/32", Hayashi, et al.

DOTS Signaling via In-band Link In this case, the link can be congested when it is under volume attack-time, so DOTS data channel can't be used to convey the drop- listed filtering rules as blocked traffic information [Interop]. On the other hand, DOTS signal channel [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel], Hayashi, et al. Expires January 21, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Mitigation Offload July 2019 the source-* clauses defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home] and filtering control [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-filter-control] can be used to communicate the policies to the orchestrator. 5.2.1. Example of using Signal Channel DOTS signal channel has capability to send (dst_ip, dst_port, protocol) information. The procedure to use DOTS Signal Channel in this case is as follows: o The DMS generates a list of (dst_ip, dst_port, protocol) information which the DMS is blocking/rate-limiting and wants to offload. o The DMS creates mitigation request such as shown figure 5. o The DMS sends the mitigation requests to the orchestrator.

Example of using Signal Channel Call Home [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home] extends the DOTS signal channel to convey (dst_ip, dst_port, src_ip, src_port, protocol) information in a mitigation request. A mitigation request can convey src_ip information when the number of reflectors detected by a DMS is small. The procedure to use DOTS src-* clauses is as follows: o The DMS generates a list of (dst_ip, src_ip, src_port, protocol) information which the DMS is blocking/rate-limiting and wants to offload. o The DMS creates mitigation request such as shown figure 6. o The DMS sends the mitigation requests to the orchestrator. { "ietf-dots-signal-channel:mitigation-scope": { "scope": [ { "target-prefix": [ "192.0.2.2/32" ], "target-protocol": [ 6 ], "ietf-dots-call-home:source-prefix": [ "203.0.113.2/32" ], "ietf-dots-call-home:source-port-range" : [ { "ietf-dots-call-home:lower-port": 53 }, { "ietf-dots-call-home:lower-port": 123 } ], "lifetime": 3600 }, { "target-prefix": [ "192.0.2.2/32" ], "target-protocol": [ 6 ], "ietf-dots-call-home:source-prefix": [ "203.0.113.3/32" Hayashi, et al.

The procedure to use the DOTS signal channel in the situation is as follows: o The DMS generates a list of (dst_ip, src_port, protocol) information which the DMS is blocking/rate-limiting and wants to offload. o The DMS creates mitigation request such as shown in Figure 7. o The DMS sends the mitigation requests to the orchestrator.

Data Channel and Signal Channel Controlling Filtering DOTS signal channel controlling filtering [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-filter-control] has capability to activate or deactivate ACL configured by Data Channel. Against reflection attack, DOTS client configures ACL including (dst_ip, src_port, protocol) information in peace time by Data Channel, and DOTS client activate the ACL in attack time by Signal Channel controlling filtering. Note that the src_port is well known port abused to carry out reflection attack by attacker. The procedure to use DOTS data channel and signal channel controlling filtering is as follows: o In peace time, the DMS sends the ACL including (dst_ip, src_port, protocol) information such as figure 8. Hayashi, et al.
