Introduction IGMPv3 [IGMPv3] and MLDv2 [MLDv2] implement source filtering capability compared to their earlier versions IGMPv2 and MLDv1, i.e., the end host not only tells which group it would like to join, but also specifies which sources it does or does not intend to receive multicast traffic from. Filter-modes are defined for the end hosts and router parts of the protocols respectively. If a receiver host wants to receive from specific sources, it sends an IGMPv3 or MLDv2 report with filter-mode set to INCLUDE. On the other hand if the host does not want to receive from some sources, it sends the report with filter-mode set to EXCLUDE. A source list for the given sources shall be included in the report message. INCLUDE and EXCLUDE filter modes are also defined in a multicast H. Liu et. al. [Page 2] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 router to process the IGMPv3 or MLDv2 reports. Group timer and source timer are used to maintain forwarding state of desired group and source. A multicast router decides its filter-mode, type, and value of the timers and forwarding methods according to the specific rules when a group report message arrives or timer expires. The router then has to switch its filter-mode under certain conditions. All above factors correlated with each other, while the determination rule is relatively complex as the receiving state could be frequently changed. The multicast filter-mode improves the expressing ability of the multicast receiver. It is useful to support Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) [SSM] by specifying interesting source addresses with INCLUDE mode. However, practical applications do not use EXCLUDE mode to block sources so often, because a user or application usually wants to specify desired source addresses, not undesired source addresses to not receive from them. Even if a user wants to explicitly refuse traffic from some sources in a group, when other users in the same shared network have interest in these sources, the corresponding multicast traffic is forwarded to the network after all. This document aims to propose the simplified IGMPv3 and MLDv2 (referred to as IGMPv3-lite and MLDv2-lite) in which EXCLUDE filter mode that supports to exclude data come from specified sources is eliminated. Not only IGMPv3-lite and MLDv2-lite are compatible with the standard IGMPv3 and MLDv2, but also the protocol operations made by data receiver hosts and routers or switches (performing IGMPv3/MLDv2 snooping) are simplified in the lite version protocol and complicated operations are hence effectively reduced. Since IGMPv3-lite and MLDv2-lite are fully compatible with the full version of these protocols (i.e. the standard IGMPv3 and MLDv2), hosts or routers that have implemented the full version do not need to implement or modify anything to cooperate with IGMPv3/MLDv2-lite hosts or routers. 2. Simplification Method Overview The principle is to simplify the host and router parts as much as possible to improve efficiency, while guaranteeing the interoperability with full versions, and introducing no side effects on the applications. For convenience, this document mainly discusses IGMPv3 since MLDv2 inherits the same source filtering mechanism, but additionally shows MLDv2's unique specifications when needed. 2.1. Behavior of Group Members H. Liu et. al. [Page 3] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 In the IGMPv3-lite, the same service interface model as that of IGMPv3 [IGMPv3] is inherited: IPMulticastListen ( socket, interface, multicast-address, filter-mode, source-list ) In the lite version protocol, EXCLUDE mode on the host part is preserved only for EXCLUDE (*,G) join, which denotes non-source- specific group report (as known as (*,G) join) and is equivalent to the group membership join triggered by IGMPv2/IGMPv1/MLDv1. The detailed host operation of IGMPv3/MLDv2-lite is described in section 3. 2.2. Behavior of Multicast Routers According to [IGMPv3], the filter-mode of the router is defined to optimize the state description of a group. As a rule, once a member report is in EXCLUDE mode, the router filter-mode for the group will be set to EXCLUDE. Otherwise when all systems with a group record in EXCLUDE mode for that group cease reporting, the router's filter-mode may transit back to INCLUDE mode. Group timer is used to identify such transition. In IGMPv3-lite, member reports carry mainly the INCLUDE mode information with only one exception for EXCLUDE (*,G), which means including all sources and can also be interpreted as INCLUDE mode. Without EXCLUDE mode report information, it is unnecessary for the router to maintain the EXCLUDE filter-mode, and the state model for multicast router can be simplified as: (multicast address, group timer, (source records)) Here group timer is kept to represent (*,G) group join. Its basic behavior is: when a router receives a (*,G) group join, it will set its group timer, and the source list for the source-specific group will be kept. As the group timer expires, the router may change to the reception for the listed sources. The elimination of the filter-mode will greatly simplify the router behavior, e.g. the action on reception of reports and the setting of the timers. The detailed operation of router operation is described in section 4. 3. IGMPv3-lite Protocol for Group Members IGMPv3-lite uses two sets of messages, i.e., Query messages and Report messages the same as the full version protocols. Although H. Liu et. al. [Page 4] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 most of these message types and corresponding group records are inherited from the full version protocols, an operation that triggers EXCLUDE (S,G) join is omitted and the corresponding record types of the Report are modified on the lite version protocols. 3.1. Action on Change of Interface State When an interface state of a group member host is changed, a State- Change Report for that interface is immediately transmitted from that interface. The type and contents of the Group Record(s) in that Report are determined by comparing the filter mode and source list for the affected multicast address before and after the change. While the requirements are the same as the full version for the computation, in the lite version host, the interface state change rules are simplified due to the reduction of message types. The contents of the new transmitted report are calculated as described in section 3.3. To cover the possibility of the State-Change Report being missed by one or more multicast routers, it is retransmitted [Robustness Variable]-1 more times, at intervals chosen at random from the range (0, [Unsolicited Report Interval]). (These values are defined in [IGMPv3, MLDv2].) In the full version of IGMPv3, as was done with the first report, the interface state for the affected group before and after the latest change is compared, and the report records expressing the difference are built and merged with the contents of the pending report, to create the new State-Change report. However, it is optional that an IGMPv3-lite host merges with the contents of the pending report. If the IGMPv3-lite host does not merge with the contents of the pending report, it transmits each report sequentially. Doing so can greatly simplified the operation for scheduling the reports. 3.2. Action on Reception of a Query When a lite version host receives a Query, it does not respond immediately. Instead, it delays its response by a random amount of time, bounded by the Max Resp Time value derived from the Max Resp Code in the received Query message [IGMPv3, MLDv2]. The system may receive a variety of Queries on different interfaces and of different kinds (e.g., General Queries, Group-Specific Queries, and Group-and- Source-Specific Queries), each of which may require its own delayed response. Before scheduling a response to a Query, the system must first consider previously scheduled pending responses and in many cases schedule a combined response. Therefore, the lite version host must H. Liu et. al. [Page 5] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 be able to maintain the following state: o A timer per interface for scheduling responses to General Queries. o A per-group and interface timer for scheduling responses to Group- Specific and Group-and-Source-Specific Queries. o A per-group and interface list of sources to be reported in the response to a Group-and-Source-Specific Query. IGMPv3-lite inherits most of the rules that are used to determine if a Report needs to be scheduled from the full version. The different point is regarding the simplification of EXCLUDE filter-mode and the type of Report to schedule as detailed in section 3.3. On the other hand, while it is optional that an IGMPv3-lite host merges with the contents of the pending report for unsolicited report (i.e. State-Change report) as mentioned in the previous section, if the received Query is a Group-and-Source-Specific Query and there is a pending response for this group with a non-empty source-list, then the group source list is augmented to contain the list of sources in the new Query and a single response is scheduled using the group timer as with the full version host. The new response is then scheduled to be sent at the earliest of the remaining time for the pending report and the selected delay. 3.3. Group Record Types There are three Group Record Types defined in the full IGMPv3: Current-State Record noted by MODE_IS_INCLUDE (referred to as IS_IN) or MODE_IS_EXCLUDE (IS_EX), Filter-Mode-Change Record noted by CHANGE_TO_INCLUDE_MODE (TO_IN) or CHANGE_TO_EXCLUDE_MODE (TO_EX), and Source-List-Change Record noted by ALLOW_NEW_SOURCES (ALLOW) or BLOCK_OLD_SOURCES (BLOCK). Among these messages, several record types defined in the full IGMPv3 are not used in IGMPv3-lite as some of the processes related to the filter mode change to the EXCLUDE mode are eliminated and some of the report messages are converged with a record having null source address list. All of the record types of report messages used by the full and lite version protocols are shown as follows: Full ver. Lite ver. Comments --------- --------- -------------------------------- IS_EX() IS_EX() Query response for (*,G) join H. Liu et. al. [Page 6] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 IS_EX(x) N/A Query response for EX (x,G) join IS_IN(x) ALLOW(x) Query response for IN (x,G) join ALLOW(x) ALLOW(x) IN (x,G) join BLOCK(x) BLOCK(x) IN (x,G) leave TO_IN(x) TO_IN(x) Change to IN (x,G) join TO_IN() TO_IN() (*,G) leave TO_EX(x) N/A Change to EX (x,G) join TO_EX() IS_EX() (*,G) join where "x" represents non-null source address list and "()" represents null source address list. For instance, IS_EX() means a report whose record type is IS_EX with null source address list. "N/A" represents not applicable (or no use) because the corresponding operation should not occur in the lite version protocols. IGMPv3-lite does not use EXCLUDE filter-mode with non-null source address list. And a multicast router creates the same state when it receives a report message containing either of IS_EX or TO_EX record types. Therefore, IGMPv3-lite integrates the TO_EX operation to the IS_EX operation. On the other hand, when an IGMPv3-lite version host needs to make a query response for the state of INCLUDE (x,G) join, the host makes the response whose message type is expressed with ALLOW(x), instead of using IS_IN record type, for router's processing of the two messages are completely the same, the IS_IN(x) type is eliminated for simplification. An IGMPv3-lite version host does not use EXCLUDE mode, while TO_IN record is used with the following situation; the host firstly launches an application (AP1) that requests INCLUDE (x,G) join, and it sends ALLOW(x). Then the host launches another application (AP2) that joins (*,G), and it sends IS_EX(). In this condition, when AP2 terminates but AP1 keeps working on the lite version host, the host sends a report with TO_IN(x) record type for [Robustness Variable] times. 4. IGMPv3-lite Protocol for Multicast Routers The major difference between the full and lite version protocol on H. Liu et. al. [Page 7] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 the router is that filter-mode is discarded for the lite version, as section 2.2 mentioned. Then the IGMP state maintained by the router for each attached network can be simplified as: (multicast address, group timer, (source records)) where the source record includes pairs of source address and its corresponding source timer. The reduction of filtering mode will change the meaning of the group timer and will simplify the router's processing. 4.1. Group Timers and Source Timers in the Lite Version The source timer is kept for each source record and it is updated when the source is present in a received report. It indicates the validity of the sources and needs to be referred when the router takes its forwarding decision. The group timer, which being used in full IGMPv3 as a mechanism for transitioning the router's filter-mode from EXCLUDE to INCLUDE, is now redefined for the identification of the non-source-specific receiving states. Once a group record of IS_EX() is received, the group timer is used to represent this (*,G) group join. The expiration of the group timer indicates that there are no listeners on the attached network for this (*,G) group. Then if at this moment there are unexpired sources (whose source timers are greater than zero), the router will change to receiving for those sources. The role of the group timer can be summarized as follows: Group Timer Value Actions/Comments ------------------ -------------------------------------- G_Timer > 0 All members in this group. G_Timer == 0 No more listeners to this (*,G) group. If all source timers have expired then delete group record. If there are still source record timers running, use those source records with running timers as the source record state. The operation related to the group and source timers has some difference compared with the full IGMPv3. In the full version, if a source timer expires under the EXCLUDE router filter-mode, its corresponding source record is not deleted until the group timer expires. They are kept for indicating undesired sources. In the lite version, since there is no need to keep such records for blocking H. Liu et. al. [Page 8] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 specific sources, if a source timer expires, its source record should be deleted immediately, not waiting for the time-out of the group timer. 4.2. Source-Specific Forwarding Rules The forwarding suggestion made by igmpv3-lite to the routing protocols is as follows: Group Timer Source Timer Action ------------ ------------------ ----------------------- G_Timer == 0 S_TIMER > 0 Suggest to forward traffic from source G_Timer == 0 S_TIMER == 0 Suggest to stop forwarding traffic from source and remove source record. If there are no more source records for the group, delete group record G_Timer == 0 No Source Elements Suggest not to forward traffic from the source G_Timer > 0 S_TIMER >= 0 Suggest to forward traffic from source G_Timer > 0 No Source Elements Suggest to forward traffic from source 4.3. Reception of Current-State Records When receiving Current-State Records, the IGMPv3-lite router resets its group or source timers and updates its source list within the group. For source-specific group reception state(G_Timer==0), the source list includes sources to be forwarded by the router, while in non-source-specific group reception(G_Timer>0) the source list remembers the sources to be forwarded after toggling to source- specific reception state. Old New Source Source Group Timer List Report Rec'd List Actions ----------- ------ ------------ ------- ----------- H. Liu et. al. [Page 9] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 G_Timer == 0 A IS_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI G_Timer == 0 A IS_EX() A G_Timer=GMI G_Timer > 0 A IS_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI G_Timer > 0 A IS_EX() A G_Timer=GMI And the above table could be further simplified for the processes are completely the same for the two values of the G_Timer: Old New Source Source List Report Rec'd List Actions ------ ------------ ------- ------------ A IS_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI A IS_EX() A G_Timer=GMI 4.4. Reception of Source-List-Change and Filter-Mode-Change Records On receiving Source-List-Change Records, the IGMPv3-lite router needs to reset its group and source timers, update its source list within the group, or trigger group queries. Old New Source Source Group Timer List Report Rec'd List Actions ------------ ------ ------------ ------- ------------- G_Timer == 0 A ALLOW(B) A+B (B)=GMI G_Timer == 0 A BLOCK(B) A Send Q(G,A*B) G_Timer == 0 A TO_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI Send Q(G,A-B) G_Timer > 0 A ALLOW(B) A+B (B)=GMI G_Timer > 0 A BLOCK(B) A Send Q(G,A*B) G_Timer > 0 A TO_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI SendQ(G,A-B) Send Q(G) H. Liu et. al. [Page 10] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 The table could be further simplified by merging duplicate lines: Old New Source Source List Report Rec'd List Actions ------ ------------ ------- ---------------------- A ALLOW(B) A+B (B)=GMI A BLOCK(B) A Send Q(G,A*B) A TO_IN(B) A+B (B)=GMI Send Q(G,A-B) If G_Timer>0 Send Q(G) 5. Interoperability IGMPv3-lite hosts and routers should interoperate gracefully with IGMPv3/MLDv2-lite hosts and routers should interoperate gracefully with hosts and routers that running IGMPv1/v2/v3 or MLDv1/v2. The simplification in IGMPv3-lite introduces no changes on the message format of the group query and report. The member sends a subset of IGMPv3 reports, which can be recognized by full IGMPv3 protocols. The discard of the filter-mode on the router just simplified the processing inside the router, not influencing the outside behavior of the protocol. From above discussion, IGMPv3/MLDv2-lite can be treated as a "parallel version" of the full IGMPv3/MLDv2. Its interoperability method with lower versions (i.e. IGMPv1/v2 and MLDv1) should be the same as that of the IGMPv3 and MLDv2. 5.1. Interoperation with IGMPv1/IGMPv2 IGMPv3-lite protocol adopts the same Host/Group Compatibility Mode and keeps Querier Present timers for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2. Their definition and processing is just the same as [IGMPv3]. When Group Compatibility mode is IGMPv2 or IGMPv1, an IGMPv3-lite router translates the following IGMPv2 or IGMPv1 messages for that group to their IGMPv2 or IGMPv1 equivalents, as following: IGMP Message IGMPv3-lite Equivalent H. Liu et. al. [Page 11] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 -------------- ---------------------- v1 Report IS_EX() v2 Report IS_EX() v2 Leave TO_IN() 5.2. Interoperation with the Full Version of IGMPv3 If an IGMPv3-lite router receives reports from the full IGMPv3 host, it should treat the messages as follows: IGMPv3 Report IGMPv3-lite Equivalent -------------- ---------------------- IS_IN(x) IS_IN(x) IS_EX(x) IS_EX() TO_IN(x) TO_IN(x) TO_EX(x) IS_EX() ALLOW(x) ALLOW(x) BLOCK(x) BLOCK(x) 6. Implementation Considerations The simplified protocols put no additional burden on the implementation of other related protocols, e.g. IGMP/MLD snooping, multicast routing protocol and operation of application sockets. On the other hand, the processing loads on the switches and routers that running IGMPv3 (snooping) and multicast routing protocols will be greatly decreased. In the following sections, the protocols related to the implementation of IGMPv3/MLDv2 are restated for the lite version. 6.1. Implementation of Source-Specific Multicast RFC [IGMP-SSM] illustrates the requirements of implementation of Source-Specific Multicast on IGMPv3/MLDv2 hosts and routers. The lite protocol does not impose any bad influences on SSM application. The requirements of IGMPV3/MLDv2-lite for support of SSM are illustrated H. Liu et. al. [Page 12] Internet Draft IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Lite October 2006 below. For an SSM-aware host, the application should not send a non-source- specific join, i.e. IS_EX(), and IGMPv2 Leave and MLDv1 Done messages for the SSM address. The reception of a non-source-specific join with an SSM group address should indicate an error to the application. The SSM-aware router will ignore IS_EX() reports with SSM addresses. Other types of Reports should be processed normally. 6.2. Implementation of Multicast Source Filter (MSF) APIs Multicast Source Filter (MSF) APIs [MSF] defines (1) IPv4 Basic MSF API, (2) IPv4 Advanced MSF API, (3) Protocol-Independent Basic MSF API, and (4) Protocol-Independent Advanced MSF API. According to the MSF APIs definition, an IGMPv3-lite version host should implement IPv4 Basic MSF API and an MLDv2-lite version host should implement Protocol-Independent Basic MSF API. Other APIs, IPv4 Advanced MSF API and Protocol-Independent Advanced MSF API, are optional to implement in IGMPv3/MLDv2-lite version host. 7. Security Considerations The security consideration is the same as that of the full version of IGMPv3/MLDv2. 8 Normative References [KEYWORDS] Bradner, S., "Key words for use in RFCs to indicate requirement levels," RFC 2119, March 1997. 9 Informative References [SSM] Holbrook, H. and Cain, B., "Source-Specific Multicast for IP," RFC 4607, August 2006.
