Introduction This document defines the interactions between the future Homenet network and 6204bis Routers and HIPnet routers. Currently 6204bis and HIPnet routers are being deployed by ISPs as Service Provider Edge Routers (SPER) for IPv6 deployment. In the future the SPER will be a full Homenet routers but there will be a period of transition. This document specifies how currently deployed SPER will interact with Homenet architecture [I-D.ietf-homenet-arch]. Identifying the effects of key components of the architecture. The goal of this document is to make recommendations on issues uncovered to make the devices work with the future Homenet. 1.1. Requirements Language 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 [RFC2119]. 2. Terminology In this section we define terminology and abbreviations used throughout the text. o Border: a point, typically resident on a router, between two networks, e.g. between the main internal homenet and a guest network. This defines point(s) at which filtering and forwarding policies for different types of traffic may be applied o SPER: Service Provider Edge Router: A border router intended for use in a homenet, which connects the homenet to a service provider network. Winters Expires April 22, 2014 [Page 2] Internet-Draft SPER October 2013 o Homenet: A home network, comprising host and router equipment, with one or more SPERs providing connectivity to service provider network(s). o Internet Service Provider (ISP): an entity that provides access to the Internet. In this document, a service provider specifically offers Internet access using IPv6, and may also offer IPv4 Internet access. The service provider can provide such access over a variety of different transport methods such as DSL, cable, wireless, and others. o Home IP network HIPnet: A router intended for home or small-office use that forwards packet explicitly address to itself as defined in [I-D.grundemann-homenet-hipnet]. o 6204bis: A router intended for home or small-office use that forwards packet explicitly address to itself as defined in [I-D .ietf-v6ops-6204bis] 3. 6204bis Service Provider Edge Router (SPER) 3.1. Addressing A 6204bis SPER acquire LAN addressing thru DHCP Prefix Delegation [RFC3633]. A 6204bis SPER will assign a separate /64 from the delegated prefix(es) for each LAN interface. The 6202bis SPER can assign address either thru SLAAC or DHCP to LAN host. There is no mechanism for delegating any unused prefix(es) that were delegated to the 6204bis Router. 3.2. Routing A 6204bis SPER is capable of learning default routes thru Router Advertisement on the WAN interface. All other routing information is learned when a prefix is assigned to a LAN interface by the 6204bis SPER. All other Routing information is learned from other methods such as user configuration. The 6204bis SPER will NOT forward packets from an unrecognized source address. Any IPv6 packets routed from the Homenet would receive an ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable message. A 6204bis SPER prevents any Routing mechanisms from working. 3.3. Security A 6204 SPER is recommended to enable a stateful [RFC6092] firewall by default. This stateful firewall will allow the homenet incoming traffic is limited to return traffic resulting from outgoing packets. Winters Expires April 22, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SPER October 2013 A Homenet Router with the firewall on might not allow valid traffic from devices connected to the 6204bis SPER. When a Homenet Router detects a 6204bis SPER it should allow native IPv6 traffic thru the firewall so that traffic can flow between the 6204bis SPER and Homenet. 3.4. Naming and Service Discovery A 6204bis SPER support the ability to assign DNS servers and Domain Search List. A 6204bis SPER may support service discovery protocols such as mDNS/DNS-SD and SSDP. These protocols will only work when directly connected to the 6204 SPER LAN interfaces. There is currently no mechanism for sharing service discovery between the Homenet and IPv6 nodes connected to the LAN interfaces of the 6204 SPER. 3.5. Requirements TBD 4. HIPnet Server Provider Edge Router (SPER) 4.1. Addressing HIPnet SPER use DHCPv6 prefix sub-delegation to build the network [I-D.grundemann-homenet-hipnet] . The HIPnet SPER receives IPv6 prefix per [I-D.ietf-v6ops-6204bis]. If the prefix is larger then a single /64 prefix the HIPnet router will subdivide the IPv6 prefix received via DHCPv6 [RFC3315]. Using Recursive Prefix Delegation allows the Homenet to receive prefixes that can be used to address the network. 4.2. Routing Leveraging the recursive prefix delegation method described above, a HIPnet SPER installs route to the WAN interface of the router delegated the prefixes. With this routing information the HIPnet SPER is able to properly route packets to and from the Homenet. 4.3. Security A HIPnet SPER must enable a stateful [RFC6092] firewall by default. This stateful firewall will allow the homenet incoming traffic is limited to return traffic resulting from outgoing packets. A Homenet Router with the firewall on might not allow valid traffic from devices connected to the HIPnet SPER. When a Homenet Router detects a HIPnet SPER it should allow native IPv6 traffic thru the firewall so that traffic can flow between the HIPnet SPER and Homenet. 4.4. Naming and Service Discovery Winters Expires April 22, 2014 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SPER October 2013 Both the Homenet and HIPnet have several common protocols that can be used for service discovery such as mDNS [RFC6762], DNS-SD [RFC6763], and SSDP. Both the HIPnet and Homenet Routers may have host directly connected that are using them as DNS servers. If the HIPnet SPER advertises itself as the DNS-SD server for connected host, the host could query the HIPnet SPER. The issue that arises with this configuration is the HIPnet Router currently has no method for finding the Homenet router to query when trying to resolve DNS. Future revisions of this draft should try and resolve this issue. 4.5. Requirements TBD 5. Security Considerations 6. IANA Considerations This document makes no request of IANA. 7.
