             Host Mobility with the Host Identity Protocol
                     draft-ietf-hip-rfc5206-bis-14

Abstract

   This document defines a mobility extension to the Host Identity
   Protocol (HIP).  Specifically, this document defines a "LOCATOR_SET"
   parameter for HIP messages that allows for a HIP host to notify peers
   about alternate addresses at which it may be reached.  This document
   also defines how the parameter can be used to preserve communications
   across a change to the IP address used by one or both peer hosts.
   The same LOCATOR_SET parameter can also be used to support end-host
   multihoming (specified in RFC[Replace with the RFC number for draft-
   ietf-hip-multihoming]).  This document obsoletes RFC 5206.

1.  Introduction and Scope

   The Host Identity Protocol [RFC7401] (HIP) supports an architecture
   that decouples the transport layer (TCP, UDP, etc.) from the
   internetworking layer (IPv4 and IPv6) by using public/private key
   pairs, instead of IP addresses, as host identities.  When a host uses
   HIP, the overlying protocol sublayers (e.g., transport layer sockets
   and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Security Associations (SAs))
   are instead bound to representations of these host identities, and
   the IP addresses are only used for packet forwarding.  However, each
   host needs to also know at least one IP address at which its peers
   are reachable.  Initially, these IP addresses are the ones used
   during the HIP base exchange.

   One consequence of such a decoupling is that new solutions to
   network-layer mobility and host multihoming are possible.  There are
   potentially many variations of mobility and multihoming possible.
   The scope of this document encompasses messaging and elements of
   procedure for basic network-level host mobility, leaving more
   complicated mobility scenarios, multihoming, and other variations for
   further study.  More specifically, the following are in scope:

      This document defines a LOCATOR_SET parameter for use in HIP
      messages.  The LOCATOR_SET parameter allows a HIP host to notify a
      peer about alternate locators at which it is reachable.  The
      locators may be merely IP addresses, or they may have additional
      multiplexing and demultiplexing context to aid with the packet
      handling in the lower layers.  For instance, an IP address may
      need to be paired with an ESP Security Parameter Index (SPI) so
      that packets are sent on the correct SA for a given address.

      This document also specifies the messaging and elements of
      procedure for end-host mobility of a HIP host.  In particular,
      message flows to enable successful host mobility, including
      address verification methods, are defined herein.

      The HIP rendezvous server [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] can be used
      to manage simultaneous mobility of both hosts, initial
      reacahability of a mobile host, location privacy, and some modes
      of NAT traversal.  Use of the HIP rendezvous server to manage the
      simultaneous mobility of both hosts is specified herein.

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   The following topics are out of scope:

      While the same LOCATOR_SET parameter supports host multihoming
      (simultaneous use of a number of addresses), procedures for host
      multihoming are out of scope, and are specified in
      [I-D.ietf-hip-multihoming].

      While HIP can potentially be used with transports other than the
      ESP transport format [RFC7402], this document largely assumes the
      use of ESP and leaves other transport formats for further study.

      We do not consider localized mobility management extensions (i.e.,
      mobility management techniques that do not involve directly
      signaling the correspondent node); this document is concerned with
      end-to-end mobility.

      Finally, making underlying IP mobility transparent to the
      transport layer has implications on the proper response of
      transport congestion control, path MTU selection, and Quality of
      Service (QoS).  Transport-layer mobility triggers, and the proper
      transport response to a HIP mobility or multihoming address
      change, are outside the scope of this document.

   The main sections of this document are organized as follows.
   Section 3 provides a summary overview of operations, scenarios, and
   other considerations.  Section 4 specifies the messaging parameter
   syntax.  Section 5 specifies the processing rules for messages.
   Section 6 describes security considerations for this specification.

2.  Terminology and Conventions

   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].

   LOCATOR_SET.  A HIP parameter containing zero or more Locator fields.

   Locator.  A name that controls how the packet is routed through the
      network and demultiplexed by the end host.  It may include a
      concatenation of traditional network addresses such as an IPv6
      address and end-to-end identifiers such as an ESP SPI.  It may
      also include transport port numbers or IPv6 Flow Labels as
      demultiplexing context, or it may simply be a network address.

   Address.  A name that denotes a point-of-attachment to the network.
      The two most common examples are an IPv4 address and an IPv6
      address.  The set of possible addresses is a subset of the set of
      possible locators.

   Preferred locator.  A locator on which a host prefers to receive
      data.  Certain locators are labelled as preferred when a host
      advertises its locator set to its peer.  By default, the locators
      used in the HIP base exchange are the preferred locators.  The use
      of preferred locators, including the scenario where multiple
      address scopes and families may be in use, is defined more in
      [I-D.ietf-hip-multihoming] than in this document.

   Credit Based Authorization.  A mechanism allowing a host to send a
      certain amount of data to a peer's newly announced locator before
      the result of mandatory address verification is known.

3.  Protocol Model

   This section is an overview; more detailed specification follows this
   section.

3.1.  Operating Environment

   The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) [RFC7401] is a key establishment and
   parameter negotiation protocol.  Its primary applications are for
   authenticating host messages based on host identities, and
   establishing security associations (SAs) for the ESP transport format
   [RFC7402] and possibly other protocols in the future.

   The general deployment model for HIP is shown above, assuming
   operation in an end-to-end fashion.  This document specifies an
   extension to the HIP protocol to enable end-host mobility.  In
   summary, these extensions to the HIP base protocol enable the
   signaling of new addressing information to the peer in HIP messages.
   The messages are authenticated via a signature or keyed hash message
   authentication code (HMAC) based on its Host Identity.  This document
   specifies the format of this new addressing (LOCATOR_SET) parameter,
   the procedures for sending and processing this parameter to enable
   basic host mobility, and procedures for a concurrent address
   verification mechanism.

             Figure 2: Architecture for HIP Host Mobility (MH)

   Figure 2 depicts a layered architectural view of a HIP-enabled stack
   using the ESP transport format.  In HIP, upper-layer protocols
   (including TCP and ESP in this figure) are bound to Host Identity
   Tags (HITs) and not IP addresses.  The HIP sublayer is responsible
   for maintaining the binding between HITs and IP addresses.  The SPI
   is used to associate an incoming packet with the right HITs.  The
   block labeled "MH" is introduced below.

   Consider first the case in which there is no mobility or multihoming,
   as specified in the base protocol specification [RFC7401].  The HIP
   base exchange establishes the HITs in use between the hosts, the SPIs
   to use for ESP, and the IP addresses (used in both the HIP signaling
   packets and ESP data packets).  Note that there can only be one such
   set of bindings in the outbound direction for any given packet, and
   the only fields used for the binding at the HIP layer are the fields
   exposed by ESP (the SPI and HITs).  For the inbound direction, the
   SPI is all that is required to find the right host context.  ESP

   rekeying events change the mapping between the HIT pair and SPI, but
   do not change the IP addresses.

   Consider next a mobility event, in which a host moves to another IP
   address.  Two things need to occur in this case.  First, the peer
   needs to be notified of the address change using a HIP UPDATE
   message.  Second, each host needs to change its local bindings at the
   HIP sublayer (new IP addresses).  It may be that both the SPIs and IP
   addresses are changed simultaneously in a single UPDATE; the protocol
   described herein supports this.  Although internal notification of
   transport layer protocols regarding the path change (e.g. to reset
   congestion control variables) may be desired, this specification does
   not address such internal notification.  In addition, elements of
   procedure for traversing network address translators (NATs) and
   firewalls, including NATs and firewalls that may understand the HIP
   protocol, may complicate the above basic scenario and are not covered
   by this document.

3.1.1.  Locator

   This document defines a generalization of an address called a
   "locator".  A locator specifies a point-of-attachment to the network
   but may also include additional end-to-end tunneling or per-host
   demultiplexing context that affects how packets are handled below the
   logical HIP sublayer of the stack.  This generalization is useful
   because IP addresses alone may not be sufficient to describe how
   packets should be handled below HIP.  For example, in a host
   multihoming context, certain IP addresses may need to be associated
   with certain ESP SPIs to avoid violating the ESP anti-replay window.
   Addresses may also be affiliated with transport ports in certain
   tunneling scenarios.  Locators may simply be traditional network
   addresses.  The format of the locator fields in the LOCATOR_SET
   parameter is defined in Section 4.

3.1.2.  Mobility Overview

   When a host moves to another address, it notifies its peer of the new
   address by sending a HIP UPDATE packet containing a single
   LOCATOR_SET parameter and a single ESP_INFO parameter.  This UPDATE
   packet is acknowledged by the peer.  For reliability in the presence
   of packet loss, the UPDATE packet is retransmitted as defined in the
   HIP protocol specification [RFC7401].  The peer can authenticate the
   contents of the UPDATE packet based on the signature and keyed hash
   of the packet.

   When using ESP Transport Format [RFC7402], the host may at the same
   time decide to rekey its security association and possibly generate a
   new Diffie-Hellman key; all of these actions are triggered by



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                 [Page 7]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   including additional parameters in the UPDATE packet, as defined in
   the base protocol specification [RFC7401] and ESP extension
   [RFC7402].

   When using ESP (and possibly other transport modes in the future),
   the host is able to receive packets that are protected using a HIP
   created ESP SA from any address.  Thus, a host can change its IP
   address and continue to send packets to its peers without necessarily
   rekeying.  However, the peers are not able to send packets to these
   new addresses before they can reliably and securely update the set of
   addresses that they associate with the sending host.  Furthermore,
   mobility may change the path characteristics in such a manner that
   reordering occurs and packets fall outside the ESP anti-replay window
   for the SA, thereby requiring rekeying.

3.2.  Protocol Overview

   In this section, we briefly introduce a number of usage scenarios for
   HIP host mobility.  These scenarios assume that HIP is being used
   with the ESP transform [RFC7402], although other scenarios may be
   defined in the future.  To understand these usage scenarios, the
   reader should be at least minimally familiar with the HIP protocol
   specification [RFC7401] and with the use of ESP with HIP [RFC7402].
   According to these specifications, the data traffic in a HIP session
   is protected with ESP, and the ESP SPI acts as an index to the right
   host-to-host context.  More specification details are found later in
   Section 4 and Section 5.

   The scenarios below assume that the two hosts have completed a single
   HIP base exchange with each other.  Both of the hosts therefore have
   one incoming and one outgoing SA.  Further, each SA uses the same
   pair of IP addresses, which are the ones used in the base exchange.

   The readdressing protocol is an asymmetric protocol where a mobile
   host informs a peer host about changes of IP addresses on affected
   SPIs.  The readdressing exchange is designed to be piggybacked on
   existing HIP exchanges.  In support of mobility, the LOCATOR_SET
   parameter is carried in UPDATE packets.

   The scenarios below at times describe addresses as being in either an
   ACTIVE, UNVERIFIED, or DEPRECATED state.  From the perspective of a
   host, newly-learned addresses of the peer needs to be verified before
   put into active service, and addresses removed by the peer are put
   into a deprecated state.  Under limited conditions described below
   (Section 5.6), an UNVERIFIED address may be used.  The addressing

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   Hosts that use link-local addresses as source addresses in their HIP
   handshakes may not be reachable by a mobile peer.  Such hosts SHOULD
   provide a globally routable address either in the initial handshake
   or via the LOCATOR_SET parameter.

3.2.1.  Mobility with a Single SA Pair (No Rekeying)

   A mobile host sometimes needs to change an IP address bound to an
   interface.  The change of an IP address might be needed due to a
   change in the advertised IPv6 prefixes on the link, a reconnected PPP
   link, a new DHCP lease, or an actual movement to another subnet.  In
   order to maintain its communication context, the host needs to inform
   its peers about the new IP address.  This first example considers the
   case in which the mobile host has only one interface, one IP address
   in use within the HIP session, a single pair of SAs (one inbound, one
   outbound), and no rekeying occurs on the SAs.  We also assume that
   the new IP addresses are within the same address family (IPv4 or
   IPv6) as the previous address.  This is the simplest scenario,
   depicted in Figure 3.  Note that the conventions for message
   parameter notations in figures (use of parentheses and brackets) is
   defined in Section 2.2 of [RFC7401].

     Mobile Host                         Peer Host

             UPDATE(ESP_INFO, LOCATOR_SET, SEQ)
        ----------------------------------->
             UPDATE(ESP_INFO, SEQ, ACK, ECHO_REQUEST)
        <-----------------------------------
             UPDATE(ACK, ECHO_RESPONSE)
        ----------------------------------->

       Figure 3: Readdress without Rekeying, but with Address Check

   The steps of the packet processing are as follows:

   1.  The mobile host may be disconnected from the peer host for a
       brief period of time while it switches from one IP address to
       another; this case is sometimes referred to in the literature as
       a "break-before-make" case.  The host may also obtain its new IP
       address before loosing the old one ("make-before-break" case).
       In either case, upon obtaining a new IP address, the mobile host
       sends a LOCATOR_SET parameter to the peer host in an UPDATE
       message.  The UPDATE message also contains an ESP_INFO parameter
       containing the values of the old and new SPIs for a security
       association.  In this case, the OLD SPI and NEW SPI parameters
       both are set to the value of the preexisting incoming SPI; this
       ESP_INFO does not trigger a rekeying event but is instead
       included for possible parameter-inspecting firewalls on the path



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                 [Page 9]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


       ([RFC5207] specifies some such firewall scenarios in which the
       HIP-aware firewall may want to associate ESP flows to host
       identities).  The LOCATOR_SET parameter contains the new IP
       address (Locator Type of "1", defined below) and a locator
       lifetime.  The mobile host waits for this UPDATE to be
       acknowledged, and retransmits if necessary, as specified in the
       base specification [RFC7401].

   2.  The peer host receives the UPDATE, validates it, and updates any
       local bindings between the HIP association and the mobile host's
       destination address.  The peer host MUST perform an address
       verification by placing a nonce in the ECHO_REQUEST parameter of
       the UPDATE message sent back to the mobile host.  It also
       includes an ESP_INFO parameter with the OLD SPI and NEW SPI
       parameters both set to the value of the preexisting incoming SPI,
       and sends this UPDATE (with piggybacked acknowledgment) to the
       mobile host at its new address.  This UPDATE also acknowledges
       the mobile host's UPDATE that triggered the exchange.  The peer
       host waits for its UPDATE to be acknowledged, and retransmits if
       necessary, as specified in the base specification [RFC7401].  The
       peer MAY use the new address immediately, but it MUST limit the
       amount of data it sends to the address until address verification
       completes.

   3.  The mobile host completes the readdress by processing the UPDATE
       ACK and echoing the nonce in an ECHO_RESPONSE, containing the ACK
       of the peer's UPDATE.  This UPDATE is not protected by a
       retransmission timer because it does not contain a SEQ parameter
       requesting acknowledgment.  Once the peer host receives this
       ECHO_RESPONSE, it considers the new address to be verified and
       can put the address into full use.

   While the peer host is verifying the new address, the new address is
   marked as UNVERIFIED in the interim, and the old address is
   DEPRECATED.  Once the peer host has received a correct reply to its
   UPDATE challenge, it marks the new address as ACTIVE and removes the
   old address.

3.2.2.  Mobility with a Single SA Pair (Mobile-Initiated Rekey)

   The mobile host may decide to rekey the SAs at the same time that it
   notifies the peer of the new address.  In this case, the above
   procedure described in Figure 3 is slightly modified.  The UPDATE
   message sent from the mobile host includes an ESP_INFO with the OLD
   SPI set to the previous SPI, the NEW SPI set to the desired new SPI
   value for the incoming SA, and the KEYMAT Index desired.  Optionally,
   the host may include a DIFFIE_HELLMAN parameter for a new Diffie-
   Hellman key.  The peer completes the request for a rekey as is



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 10]

   normally done for HIP rekeying, except that the new address is kept
   as UNVERIFIED until the UPDATE nonce challenge is received as
   described above.  Figure 4 illustrates this scenario.

3.2.3.  Mobility messaging through rendezvous server

   Section 6.11 of [RFC7401] specifies procedures for sending HIP UPDATE
   packets.  The UPDATE packets are protected by a timer subject to
   exponential backoff and resent UPDATE_RETRY_MAX times.  It may be,
   however, that the peer is itself in the process of moving when the
   local host is trying to update the IP address bindings of the HIP
   association.  This is sometimes called the "double-jump" mobility
   problem; each host's UPDATE packets are simultaneously sent to a
   stale address of the peer, and the hosts are no longer reachable from
   one another.

   The HIP Rendezvous Extension [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] specifies a
   rendezvous service that permits the I1 packet from the base exchange
   to be relayed from a stable or well-known public IP address location
   to the current IP address of the host.  It is possible to support
   double-jump mobility with this rendezvous service if the following
   extensions to the specifications of [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] and
   [RFC7401] are followed.

   1.  The mobile host sending an UPDATE to the peer, and not receiving
       an ACK, MAY resend the UPDATE to a rendezvous server (RVS) of the
       peer, if such a server is known.  The host MAY try the RVS of the
       peer up to UPDATE_RETRY_MAX times as specified in [RFC7401].  The
       host MAY try to use the peer's RVS before it has tried
       UPDATE_RETRY_MAX times to the last working address (i.e. the RVS
       MAY be tried in parallel with retries to the last working
       address).  The aggressiveness of a host replicating its UPDATEs
       to multiple destinations, to try candidates in parallel instead
       of serially, is a policy choice outside of this specification.

   2.  A rendezvous server supporting the UPDATE forwarding extensions
       specified herein MUST modify the UPDATE in the same manner as it



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 11]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


       modifies the I1 packet before forwarding.  Specifically, it MUST
       rewrite the IP header source and destination addresses, recompute
       the IP header checksum, and include the FROM and RVS_HMAC
       parameters.

   3.  A host receiving an UPDATE packet MUST be prepared to process the
       FROM and RVS_HMAC parameters, and MUST include a VIA_RVS
       parameter in the UPDATE reply that contains the ACK of the UPDATE
       SEQ.

   4.  An initiator receiving a VIA_RVS in the UPDATE reply should
       initiate address reachability tests (described later in this
       document) towards the end host's address and not towards the
       address included in the VIA_RVS.

   This scenario requires that hosts using rendezvous servers also take
   steps to update their current address bindings with their rendezvous
   server upon a mobility event.  [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis] does not
   specify how to update the rendezvous server with a client host's new
   address.  [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis] Section 3.2 describes how a host
   may send a REG_REQUEST in either an I2 packet (if there is no active
   association) or an UPDATE packet (if such association exists).
   According to procedures described in [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis], if a
   mobile host has an active registration, it may use mobility updates
   specified herein, within the context of that association, to
   readdress the association.

3.2.4.  Network Renumbering

   It is expected that IPv6 networks will be renumbered much more often
   than most IPv4 networks.  From an end-host point of view, network
   renumbering is similar to mobility, and procedures described herein
   also apply to notify a peer of a changed address.

3.3.  Other Considerations

3.3.1.  Address Verification

   When a HIP host receives a set of locators from another HIP host in a
   LOCATOR_SET, it does not necessarily know whether the other host is
   actually reachable at the claimed addresses.  In fact, a malicious
   peer host may be intentionally giving bogus addresses in order to
   cause a packet flood towards the target addresses [RFC4225].
   Therefore, the HIP host needs to first check that the peer is
   reachable at the new address.

   Address verification is implemented by the challenger sending some
   piece of unguessable information to the new address, and waiting for



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 12]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   some acknowledgment from the Responder that indicates reception of
   the information at the new address.  This may include the exchange of
   a nonce, or the generation of a new SPI and observation of data
   arriving on the new SPI.  More details are found in Section 5.4 of
   this document.

   An additional potential benefit of performing address verification is
   to allow NATs and firewalls in the network along the new path to
   obtain the peer host's inbound SPI.

3.3.2.  Credit-Based Authorization

   Credit-Based Authorization (CBA) allows a host to securely use a new
   locator even though the peer's reachability at the address embedded
   in the locator has not yet been verified.  This is accomplished based
   on the following three hypotheses:

   1.  A flooding attacker typically seeks to somehow multiply the
       packets it generates for the purpose of its attack because
       bandwidth is an ample resource for many victims.

   2.  An attacker can often cause unamplified flooding by sending
       packets to its victim, either by directly addressing the victim
       in the packets, or by guiding the packets along a specific path
       by means of an IPv6 Routing header, if Routing headers are not
       filtered by firewalls.

   3.  Consequently, the additional effort required to set up a
       redirection-based flooding attack (without CBA and return
       routability checks) would pay off for the attacker only if
       amplification could be obtained this way.

   On this basis, rather than eliminating malicious packet redirection
   in the first place, Credit-Based Authorization prevents
   amplifications.  This is accomplished by limiting the data a host can
   send to an unverified address of a peer by the data recently received
   from that peer.  Redirection-based flooding attacks thus become less
   attractive than, for example, pure direct flooding, where the
   attacker itself sends bogus packets to the victim.

   Figure 5 illustrates Credit-Based Authorization: Host B measures the
   amount of data recently received from peer A and, when A readdresses,
   sends packets to A's new, unverified address as long as the sum of
   the packet sizes does not exceed the measured, received data volume.
   When insufficient credit is left, B stops sending further packets to
   A until A's address becomes ACTIVE.  The address changes may be due
   to mobility, multihoming, or any other reason.  Not shown in Figure 5

                      Figure 5: Readdressing Scenario

   This document does not specify how to set the credit limit value, but
   the goal is to allow data transfers to proceed without much
   interruption while the new address is verified.  A simple heuristic
   to accomplish this, if the sender knows roughly its round-trip time
   (RTT) and current sending rate to the host, is to allow enough credit
   to support maintaining the sending rate for a duration corresponding
   to two or three RTTs.

3.3.3.  Preferred Locator

   When a host has multiple locators, the peer host needs to decide
   which to use for outbound packets.  It may be that a host would
   prefer to receive data on a particular inbound interface.  HIP allows
   a particular locator to be designated as a Preferred locator and
   communicated to the peer (see Section 4).

4.  LOCATOR_SET Parameter Format

   The LOCATOR_SET parameter has a type number value that is considered
   to be a 'critical parameter' as per the definition in [RFC7401]; such
   parameter types MUST be recognized and processed by the recipient.
   The parameter consists of the standard HIP parameter Type and Length
   fields, plus zero or more Locator sub-parameters.  Each Locator sub-
   parameter contains a Traffic Type, Locator Type, Locator Length,
   Preferred locator bit, Locator Lifetime, and a Locator encoding.  A
   LOCATOR_SET containing zero Locator fields is permitted but has the
   effect of deprecating all addresses.

   Traffic Type:  Defines whether the locator pertains to HIP signaling,
      user data, or both.

   Locator Type:  Defines the semantics of the Locator field.

   Locator Length:  Defines the length of the Locator field, in units of
      4-byte words (Locators up to a maximum of 4*255 octets are
      supported).

   Reserved:  Zero when sent, ignored when received.

   P: Preferred locator.  Set to one if the locator is preferred for
      that Traffic Type; otherwise, set to zero.

   Locator Lifetime:  Locator lifetime, in seconds.

   Locator:  The locator whose semantics and encoding are indicated by
      the Locator Type field.  All Locator sub-fields are integral
      multiples of four octets in length.

   The Locator Lifetime indicates how long the following locator is
   expected to be valid.  The lifetime is expressed in seconds.  Each
   locator MUST have a non-zero lifetime.  The address is expected to
   become deprecated when the specified number of seconds has passed
   since the reception of the message.  A deprecated address SHOULD NOT
   be used as a destination address if an alternate (non-deprecated) is
   available and has sufficient address scope.

4.1.  Traffic Type and Preferred Locator

   The following Traffic Type values are defined:


   0:   Both signaling (HIP control packets) and user data.

   1:   Signaling packets only.

   2:   Data packets only.

   The "P" bit, when set, has scope over the corresponding Traffic Type.
   That is, when a "P" bit is set for Traffic Type "2", for example, it
   means that the locator is preferred for data packets.  If there is a
   conflict (for example, if the "P" bit is set for an address of Type
   "0" and a different address of Type "2"), the more specific Traffic
   Type rule applies (in this case, "2").  By default, the IP addresses
   used in the base exchange are Preferred locators for both signaling
   and user data, unless a new Preferred locator supersedes them.  If no
   locators are indicated as preferred for a given Traffic Type, the

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   implementation may use an arbitrary destination locator from the set
   of active locators.

4.2.  Locator Type and Locator

   The following Locator Type values are defined, along with the
   associated semantics of the Locator field:

   0:   An IPv6 address or an IPv4-in-IPv6 format IPv4 address [RFC4291]
      (128 bits long).  This locator type is defined primarily for non-
      ESP-based usage.

   1:   The concatenation of an ESP SPI (first 32 bits) followed by an
      IPv6 address or an IPv4-in-IPv6 format IPv4 address (an additional
      128 bits).  This IP address is defined primarily for ESP-based
      usage.

4.3.  UPDATE Packet with Included LOCATOR_SET

   A number of combinations of parameters in an UPDATE packet are
   possible (e.g., see Section 3.2).  In this document, procedures are
   defined only for the case in which one LOCATOR_SET and one ESP_INFO
   parameter is used in any HIP packet.  Any UPDATE packet that includes
   a LOCATOR_SET parameter SHOULD include both an HMAC and a
   HIP_SIGNATURE parameter.

   The UPDATE MAY also include a HOST_ID parameter (which may be useful
   for HIP-aware firewalls inspecting the HIP messages for the first
   time).  If the UPDATE includes the HOST_ID parameter, the receiving
   host MUST verify that the HOST_ID corresponds to the HOST_ID that was
   used to establish the HIP association, and the HIP_SIGNATURE MUST
   verify with the public key associated with this HOST_ID parameter.

   The relationship between the announced Locators and any ESP_INFO
   parameters present in the packet is defined in Section 5.2.  This
   document does not support any elements of procedure for sending more
   than one LOCATOR_SET or ESP_INFO parameter in a single UPDATE.

5.  Processing Rules

   This section describes rules for sending and receiving the
   LOCATOR_SET parameter, testing address reachability, and using
   Credit-Based Authorization (CBA) on UNVERIFIED locators.

5.1.  Locator Data Structure and Status

   Each locator announced in a LOCATOR_SET parameter is represented by a
   piece of state that contains the following data:

   o  the actual bit pattern representing the locator,

   o  the lifetime (seconds),

   o  the status (UNVERIFIED, ACTIVE, DEPRECATED),

   o  the Traffic Type scope of the locator, and

   o  whether the locator is preferred for any particular scope.

   The status is used to track the reachability of the address embedded
   within the LOCATOR_SET parameter:

   UNVERIFIED  indicates that the reachability of the address has not
      been verified yet,

   ACTIVE  indicates that the reachability of the address has been
      verified and the address has not been deprecated,

   DEPRECATED  indicates that the locator lifetime has expired.

   The following state changes are allowed:

   UNVERIFIED to ACTIVE  The reachability procedure completes
      successfully.

   UNVERIFIED to DEPRECATED  The locator lifetime expires while the
      locator is UNVERIFIED.

   ACTIVE to DEPRECATED  The locator lifetime expires while the locator
      is ACTIVE.

   ACTIVE to UNVERIFIED  There has been no traffic on the address for
      some time, and the local policy mandates that the address
      reachability needs to be verified again before starting to use it
      again.

   DEPRECATED to UNVERIFIED  The host receives a new lifetime for the
      locator.

   A DEPRECATED address MUST NOT be changed to ACTIVE without first
   verifying its reachability.

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   Note that the state of whether or not a locator is preferred is not
   necessarily the same as the value of the Preferred bit in the Locator
   sub-parameter received from the peer.  Peers may recommend certain
   locators to be preferred, but the decision on whether to actually use
   a locator as a preferred locator is a local decision, possibly
   influenced by local policy.

   In addition to state maintained about status and remaining lifetime
   for each locator learned from the peer, an implementation would
   typically maintain similar state about its own locators that have
   been offered to the peer.

   An unbounded locator lifetime can be signified by setting the value
   of the lifetime field to the maximum (unsigned) value.

   Finally, the locators used to establish the HIP association are by
   default assumed to be the initial preferred locators in ACTIVE state,
   with an unbounded lifetime.

5.2.  Sending the LOCATOR_SET

   The decision of when to send the LOCATOR_SET is a local policy issue.
   However, it is RECOMMENDED that a host send a LOCATOR_SET whenever it
   recognizes a change of its IP addresses in use on an active HIP
   association, and assumes that the change is going to last at least
   for a few seconds.  Rapidly sending LOCATOR_SETs that force the peer
   to change the preferred address SHOULD be avoided.

   The sending of a new LOCATOR_SET parameter replaces the locator
   information from any previously sent LOCATOR_SET parameter, and
   therefore if a host sends a new LOCATOR_SET parameter, it needs to
   continue to include all active locators.  Hosts MUST NOT announce
   broadcast or multicast addresses in LOCATOR_SETs.

   We now describe a few cases introduced in Section 3.2.  We assume
   that the Traffic Type for each locator is set to "0" (other values
   for Traffic Type may be specified in documents that separate the HIP
   control plane from data plane traffic).  Other mobility cases are
   possible but are left for further study.

   1.  Host mobility with no multihoming and no rekeying.  The mobile
       host creates a single UPDATE containing a single ESP_INFO with a
       single LOCATOR_SET parameter.  The ESP_INFO contains the current
       value of the SPI in both the OLD SPI and NEW SPI fields.  The
       LOCATOR_SET contains a single Locator with a "Locator Type" of
       "1"; the SPI MUST match that of the ESP_INFO.  The Preferred bit
       SHOULD be set and the "Locator Lifetime" is set according to
       local policy.  The UPDATE also contains a SEQ parameter as usual.



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 19]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


       This packet is retransmitted as defined in the HIP protocol
       specification [RFC7401].  The UPDATE should be sent to the peer's
       preferred IP address with an IP source address corresponding to
       the address in the LOCATOR_SET parameter.

   2.  Host mobility with no multihoming but with rekeying.  The mobile
       host creates a single UPDATE containing a single ESP_INFO with a
       single LOCATOR_SET parameter (with a single address).  The
       ESP_INFO contains the current value of the SPI in the OLD SPI and
       the new value of the SPI in the NEW SPI, and a KEYMAT Index as
       selected by local policy.  Optionally, the host may choose to
       initiate a Diffie Hellman rekey by including a DIFFIE_HELLMAN
       parameter.  The LOCATOR_SET contains a single Locator with
       "Locator Type" of "1"; the SPI MUST match that of the NEW SPI in
       the ESP_INFO.  Otherwise, the steps are identical to the case in
       which no rekeying is initiated.

5.3.  Handling Received LOCATOR_SETs

   A host SHOULD be prepared to receive a single LOCATOR_SET parameter
   in a HIP UPDATE packet.  Reception of multiple LOCATOR_SET parameters
   in a single packet, or in HIP packets other than UPDATE, is outside
   of the scope of this specification.

   Because a host sending the LOCATOR_SET may send the same parameter in
   different UPDATE messages to different destination addresses,
   including possibly the rendezvous server of the host, the host
   receiving the LOCATOR_SET MUST be prepared to handle the possibility
   of duplicate LOCATOR_SETs sent to more than one of the host's
   addresses.  As a result, the host MUST detect and avoid reprocessing
   a LOCATOR_SET parameter that is redundant with a LOCATOR_SET
   parameter that has been recently received and processed.

   This document describes sending both ESP_INFO and LOCATOR_SET
   parameters in an UPDATE.  The ESP_INFO parameter is included when
   there is a need to rekey or key a new SPI, and is otherwise included
   for the possible benefit of HIP-aware NATs and firewalls.  The
   LOCATOR_SET parameter contains a complete listing of the locators
   that the host wishes to make or keep active for the HIP association.

   In general, the processing of a LOCATOR_SET depends upon the packet
   type in which it is included.  Here, we describe only the case in
   which ESP_INFO is present and a single LOCATOR_SET and ESP_INFO are
   sent in an UPDATE message; other cases are for further study.  The
   steps below cover each of the cases described in Section 5.2.

   The processing of ESP_INFO and LOCATOR_SET parameters is intended to
   be modular and support future generalization to the inclusion of



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 20]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   multiple ESP_INFO and/or multiple LOCATOR_SET parameters.  A host
   SHOULD first process the ESP_INFO before the LOCATOR_SET, since the
   ESP_INFO may contain a new SPI value mapped to an existing SPI, while
   a Type "1" locator will only contain a reference to the new SPI.

   When a host receives a validated HIP UPDATE with a LOCATOR_SET and
   ESP_INFO parameter, it processes the ESP_INFO as follows.  The
   ESP_INFO parameter indicates whether an SA is being rekeyed, created,
   deprecated, or just identified for the benefit of HIP-aware NATs and
   firewalls.  The host examines the OLD SPI and NEW SPI values in the
   ESP_INFO parameter:

   1.  (no rekeying) If the OLD SPI is equal to the NEW SPI and both
       correspond to an existing SPI, the ESP_INFO is gratuitous
       (provided for HIP-aware NATs and firewalls) and no rekeying is
       necessary.

   2.  (rekeying) If the OLD SPI indicates an existing SPI and the NEW
       SPI is a different non-zero value, the existing SA is being
       rekeyed and the host follows HIP ESP rekeying procedures by
       creating a new outbound SA with an SPI corresponding to the NEW
       SPI, with no addresses bound to this SPI.  Note that locators in
       the LOCATOR_SET parameter will reference this new SPI instead of
       the old SPI.

   3.  (new SA) If the OLD SPI value is zero and the NEW SPI is a new
       non-zero value, then a new SA is being requested by the peer.
       This case is also treated like a rekeying event; the receiving
       host MUST create a new SA and respond with an UPDATE ACK.

   4.  (deprecating the SA) If the OLD SPI indicates an existing SPI and
       the NEW SPI is zero, the SA is being deprecated and all locators
       uniquely bound to the SPI are put into the DEPRECATED state.

   If none of the above cases apply, a protocol error has occurred and
   the processing of the UPDATE is stopped.

   Next, the locators in the LOCATOR_SET parameter are processed.  For
   each locator listed in the LOCATOR_SET parameter, check that the
   address therein is a legal unicast or anycast address.  That is, the
   address MUST NOT be a broadcast or multicast address.  Note that some
   implementations MAY accept addresses that indicate the local host,
   since it may be allowed that the host runs HIP with itself.

   The below assumes that all locators are of Type "1" with a Traffic
   Type of "0"; other cases are for further study.





Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 21]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   For each Type "1" address listed in the LOCATOR_SET parameter, the
   host checks whether the address is already bound to the SPI
   indicated.  If the address is already bound, its lifetime is updated.
   If the status of the address is DEPRECATED, the status is changed to
   UNVERIFIED.  If the address is not already bound, the address is
   added, and its status is set to UNVERIFIED.  Mark all addresses
   corresponding to the SPI that were NOT listed in the LOCATOR_SET
   parameter as DEPRECATED.

   As a result, at the end of processing, the addresses listed in the
   LOCATOR_SET parameter have either a state of UNVERIFIED or ACTIVE,
   and any old addresses on the old SA not listed in the LOCATOR_SET
   parameter have a state of DEPRECATED.

   Once the host has processed the locators, if the LOCATOR_SET
   parameter contains a new Preferred locator, the host SHOULD initiate
   a change of the Preferred locator.  This requires that the host first
   verifies reachability of the associated address, and only then
   changes the Preferred locator; see Section 5.5.

   If a host receives a locator with an unsupported Locator Type, and
   when such a locator is also declared to be the Preferred locator for
   the peer, the host SHOULD send a NOTIFY error with a Notify Message
   Type of LOCATOR_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED, with the Notification Data field
   containing the locator(s) that the receiver failed to process.
   Otherwise, a host MAY send a NOTIFY error if a (non-preferred)
   locator with an unsupported Locator Type is received in a LOCATOR_SET
   parameter.

   A host MAY add the source IP address of a received HIP packet as a
   candidate locator for the peer even if it is not listed in the peer's
   LOCATOR_SET, but it SHOULD prefer locators explicitly listed in the
   LOCATOR_SET.

5.4.  Verifying Address Reachability

   A host MUST verify the reachability of an UNVERIFIED address.  The
   status of a newly learned address MUST initially be set to UNVERIFIED
   unless the new address is advertised in a R1 packet as a new
   Preferred locator.  A host MAY also want to verify the reachability
   of an ACTIVE address again after some time, in which case it would
   set the status of the address to UNVERIFIED and reinitiate address
   verification.  A typical verification that is protected by
   retransmission timers is to include an ECHO REQUEST within an UPDATE
   sent to the new address.

   A host typically starts the address-verification procedure by sending
   a nonce to the new address.  A host MAY choose from different message



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 22]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   exchanges or different nonce values so long as it establishes that
   the peer has received and replied to the nonce at the new address.
   For example, when the host is changing its SPI and sending an
   ESP_INFO to the peer, the NEW SPI value SHOULD be random and the
   random value MAY be copied into an ECHO_REQUEST sent in the rekeying
   UPDATE.  However, if the host is not changing its SPI, it MAY still
   use the ECHO_REQUEST parameter for verification but with some other
   random value.  A host MAY also use other message exchanges as
   confirmation of the address reachability.

   In some cases, it MAY be sufficient to use the arrival of data on a
   newly advertised SA as implicit address reachability verification as
   depicted in Figure 7, instead of waiting for the confirmation via a
   HIP packet.  In this case, a host advertising a new SPI as part of
   its address reachability check SHOULD be prepared to receive traffic
   on the new SA.

                ----------------------------------->

             Figure 7: Address Activation Via Use of a New SA

   When address verification is in progress for a new Preferred locator,
   the host SHOULD select a different locator listed as ACTIVE, if one
   such locator is available, to continue communications until address
   verification completes.  Alternatively, the host MAY use the new
   Preferred locator while in UNVERIFIED status to the extent Credit-
   Based Authorization permits.  Credit-Based Authorization is explained
   in Section 5.6.  Once address verification succeeds, the status of
   the new Preferred locator changes to ACTIVE.

5.5.  Changing the Preferred Locator

   A host MAY want to change the Preferred outgoing locator for
   different reasons, e.g., because traffic information or ICMP error
   messages indicate that the currently used preferred address may have



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 23]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   become unreachable.  Another reason may be due to receiving a
   LOCATOR_SET parameter that has the "P" bit set.

   To change the Preferred locator, the host initiates the following
   procedure:

   1.  If the new Preferred locator has ACTIVE status, the Preferred
       locator is changed and the procedure succeeds.

   2.  If the new Preferred locator has UNVERIFIED status, the host
       starts to verify its reachability.  The host SHOULD use a
       different locator listed as ACTIVE until address verification
       completes if one such locator is available.  Alternatively, the
       host MAY use the new Preferred locator, even though in UNVERIFIED
       status, to the extent Credit-Based Authorization permits.  Once
       address verification succeeds, the status of the new Preferred
       locator changes to ACTIVE and its use is no longer governed by
       Credit-Based Authorization.

   3.  If the peer host has not indicated a preference for any address,
       then the host picks one of the peer's ACTIVE addresses randomly
       or according to local policy.  This case may arise if, for
       example, ICMP error messages that deprecate the Preferred locator
       arrive, but the peer has not yet indicated a new Preferred
       locator.

   4.  If the new Preferred locator has DEPRECATED status and there is
       at least one non-deprecated address, the host selects one of the
       non-deprecated addresses as a new Preferred locator and
       continues.  If the selected address is UNVERIFIED, the address
       verification procedure described above will apply.

5.6.  Credit-Based Authorization

   To prevent redirection-based flooding attacks, the use of a Credit-
   Based Authorization (CBA) approach MUST be used when a host sends
   data to an UNVERIFIED locator.  The following algorithm addresses the
   security considerations for prevention of amplification and time-
   shifting attacks.  Other forms of credit aging, and other values for
   the CreditAgingFactor and CreditAgingInterval parameters in
   particular, are for further study, and so are the advanced CBA
   techniques specified in [CBA-MIPv6].

5.6.1.  Handling Payload Packets

   A host maintains a "credit counter" for each of its peers.  Whenever
   a packet arrives from a peer, the host SHOULD increase that peer's
   credit counter by the size of the received packet.  When the host has



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 24]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   a packet to be sent to the peer, and when the peer's Preferred
   locator is listed as UNVERIFIED and no alternative locator with
   status ACTIVE is available, the host checks whether it can send the
   packet to the UNVERIFIED locator.  The packet SHOULD be sent if the
   value of the credit counter is higher than the size of the outbound
   packet.  If the credit counter is too low, the packet MUST be
   discarded or buffered until address verification succeeds.  When a
   packet is sent to a peer at an UNVERIFIED locator, the peer's credit
   counter MUST be reduced by the size of the packet.  The peer's credit
   counter is not affected by packets that the host sends to an ACTIVE
   locator of that peer.

   Figure 8 depicts the actions taken by the host when a packet is
   received.  Figure 9 shows the decision chain in the event a packet is
   sent.

5.6.2.  Credit Aging

   A host ensures that the credit counters it maintains for its peers
   gradually decrease over time.  Such "credit aging" prevents a
   malicious peer from building up credit at a very slow speed and using
   this, all at once, for a severe burst of redirected packets.





Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 26]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   Credit aging may be implemented by multiplying credit counters with a
   factor, CreditAgingFactor (a fractional value less than one), in
   fixed time intervals of CreditAgingInterval length.  Choosing
   appropriate values for CreditAgingFactor and CreditAgingInterval is
   important to ensure that a host can send packets to an address in
   state UNVERIFIED even when the peer sends at a lower rate than the
   host itself.  When CreditAgingFactor or CreditAgingInterval are too
   small, the peer's credit counter might be too low to continue sending
   packets until address verification concludes.

   The parameter values proposed in this document are as follows:

      CreditAgingFactor        7/8
      CreditAgingInterval      5 seconds

   These parameter values work well when the host transfers a file to
   the peer via a TCP connection and the end-to-end round-trip time does
   not exceed 500 milliseconds.  Alternative credit-aging algorithms may
   use other parameter values or different parameters, which may even be
   dynamically established.

6.  Security Considerations

   The HIP mobility mechanism provides a secure means of updating a
   host's IP address via HIP UPDATE packets.  Upon receipt, a HIP host
   cryptographically verifies the sender of an UPDATE, so forging or
   replaying a HIP UPDATE packet is very difficult (see [RFC7401]).
   Therefore, security issues reside in other attack domains.  The two
   we consider are malicious redirection of legitimate connections as
   well as redirection-based flooding attacks using this protocol.  This
   can be broken down into the following:

      1) Impersonation attacks

         - direct conversation with the misled victim

         - man-in-the-middle attack

      2) DoS attacks

         - flooding attacks (== bandwidth-exhaustion attacks)

            * tool 1: direct flooding

            * tool 2: flooding by botnets

            * tool 3: redirection-based flooding

         - memory-exhaustion attacks

         - computational-exhaustion attacks

      3) Privacy concerns

   We consider these in more detail in the following sections.

   In Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, we assume that all users are using
   HIP.  In Section 6.3 we consider the security ramifications when we
   have both HIP and non-HIP hosts.

6.1.  Impersonation Attacks

   An attacker wishing to impersonate another host will try to mislead
   its victim into directly communicating with them, or carry out a man-
   in-the-middle (MitM) attack between the victim and the victim's
   desired communication peer.  Without mobility support, such attacks
   are possible only if the attacker resides on the routing path between
   its victim and the victim's desired communication peer, or if the
   attacker tricks its victim into initiating the connection over an
   incorrect routing path (e.g., by acting as a router or using spoofed
   DNS entries).

   The HIP extensions defined in this specification change the situation
   in that they introduce an ability to redirect a connection, both
   before and after establishment.  If no precautionary measures are
   taken, an attacker could potentially misuse the redirection feature
   to impersonate a victim's peer from any arbitrary location.  However,
   the authentication and authorization mechanisms of the HIP base
   exchange [RFC7401] and the signatures in the UPDATE message prevent
   this attack.  Furthermore, ownership of a HIP association is securely
   linked to a HIP HI/HIT.  If an attacker somehow uses a bug in the
   implementation to redirect a HIP connection, the original owner can
   always reclaim their connection (they can always prove ownership of
   the private key associated with their public HI).

   MitM attacks are possible if an on-path attacker is present during
   the initial HIP base exchange and if the hosts do not authenticate
   each other's identities.  However, once such an opportunistic base
   exchange has taken place, a MitM attacker that comes later to the
   path cannot steal the HIP connection because it is very difficult for
   an attacker to create an UPDATE packet (or any HIP packet) that will
   be accepted as a legitimate update.  UPDATE packets use HMAC and are
   signed.  Even when an attacker can snoop packets to obtain the SPI
   and HIT/HI, they still cannot forge an UPDATE packet without
   knowledge of the secret keys.  Also, replay attacks on the UPDATE
   packet are prevented as described in [RFC7401].

6.2.  Denial-of-Service Attacks

6.2.1.  Flooding Attacks

   The purpose of a denial-of-service attack is to exhaust some resource
   of the victim such that the victim ceases to operate correctly.  A
   denial-of-service attack can aim at the victim's network attachment
   (flooding attack), its memory, or its processing capacity.  In a
   flooding attack, the attacker causes an excessive number of bogus or
   unwanted packets to be sent to the victim, which fills their
   available bandwidth.  Note that the victim does not necessarily need
   to be a node; it can also be an entire network.  The attack functions
   the same way in either case.

   An effective DoS strategy is distributed denial of service (DDoS).
   Here, the attacker conventionally distributes some viral software to
   as many nodes as possible.  Under the control of the attacker, the
   infected nodes (e.g. nodes in a botnet), jointly send packets to the
   victim.  With such an 'army', an attacker can take down even very
   high bandwidth networks/victims.

   With the ability to redirect connections, an attacker could realize a
   DDoS attack without having to distribute viral code.  Here, the
   attacker initiates a large download from a server, and subsequently
   uses the HIP mobility mechanism to redirect this download to its
   victim.  The attacker can repeat this with multiple servers.  This
   threat is mitigated through reachability checks and credit-based
   authorization.  Reachability checks, which when conducted using HIP
   can leverage the built-in authentication properties of HIP, can
   prevent redirection-based flooding attacks.  However, the delay of
   such a check can have a noticeable impact on application performance.
   To reduce the impact of the delay, credit-based authorization can be
   used to send a limited number of packets to the new address while the
   validity of the IP address is still in question.  Both strategies do
   not eliminate flooding attacks per se, but they preclude: (i) their
   use from a location off the path towards the flooded victim; and (ii)
   any amplification in the number and size of the redirected packets.
   As a result, the combination of a reachability check and credit-based
   authorization lowers a HIP redirection-based flooding attack to the
   level of a direct flooding attack in which the attacker itself sends
   the flooding traffic to the victim.

6.2.2.  Memory/Computational-Exhaustion DoS Attacks

   We now consider whether or not the proposed extensions to HIP add any
   new DoS attacks (consideration of DoS attacks using the base HIP
   exchange and updates is discussed in [RFC7401]).  A simple attack is
   to send many UPDATE packets containing many IP addresses that are not



Henderson, et al.        Expires April 13, 2017                [Page 29]

Internet-Draft              HIP Host Mobility               October 2016


   flagged as preferred.  The attacker continues to send such packets
   until the number of IP addresses associated with the attacker's HI
   crashes the system.  Therefore, a HIP association SHOULD limit the
   number of IP addresses that can be associated with any HI.  Other
   forms of memory/computationally exhausting attacks via the HIP UPDATE
   packet are handled in the base HIP document [RFC7401].

   A central server that has to deal with a large number of mobile
   clients MAY consider increasing the SA lifetimes to try to slow down
   the rate of rekeying UPDATEs or increasing the cookie difficulty to
   slow down the rate of attack-oriented connections.

6.3.  Mixed Deployment Environment

   We now assume an environment with both HIP and non-HIP aware hosts.
   Four cases exist.

   1.  A HIP host redirects its connection onto a non-HIP host.  The
       non-HIP host will drop the reachability packet, so this is not a
       threat unless the HIP host is a MitM that could somehow respond
       successfully to the reachability check.

   2.  A non-HIP host attempts to redirect their connection onto a HIP
       host.  This falls into IPv4 and IPv6 security concerns, which are
       outside the scope of this document.

   3.  A non-HIP host attempts to steal a HIP host's session (assume
       that Secure Neighbor Discovery is not active for the following).
       The non-HIP host contacts the service that a HIP host has a
       connection with and then attempts to change its IP address to
       steal the HIP host's connection.  What will happen in this case
       is implementation dependent but such a request should fail by
       being ignored or dropped.  Even if the attack were successful,
       the HIP host could reclaim its connection via HIP.

   4.  A HIP host attempts to steal a non-HIP host's session.  A HIP
       host could spoof the non-HIP host's IP address during the base
       exchange or set the non-HIP host's IP address as its preferred
       address via an UPDATE.  Other possibilities exist, but a solution
       is to prevent the local redirection of sessions that were
       previously using an unverified address, but outside of the
       existing HIP context, into the HIP SAs until the address change
       can be verified.

6.4.  Privacy Concerns

   The exposure of a host's IP addresses through HIP mobility extensions
   may raise privacy concerns.  The administrator of a host may be
   trying to hide its location in some context through the use of a VPN
   or other virtual interfaces.  Similar privacy issues also arise in
   other frameworks such as WebRTC and are not specific to HIP.
   Implementations SHOULD provide a mechanism to allow the host
   administrator to block the exposure of selected addresses or address
   ranges.  While this issue may be more relevant in a host multihoming
   scenario in which multiple IP addresses might be exposed
   ([I-D.ietf-hip-multihoming]), it is worth noting also here that
   mobility events might cause an implementation to try to inadvertently
   use a locator that the adminstrator would rather avoid exposing to
   the peer host.

7.  IANA Considerations

   [RFC5206], obsoleted by this document, specified an allocation for a
   LOCATOR parameter in the HIP Parameters registry, with a type value
   of 193.  This document requests IANA to rename the parameter to
   'LOCATOR_SET' and to update the reference from [RFC5206] to this
   specification.

   [RFC5206], obsoleted by this document, specified an allocation a
   LOCATOR_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED type in the Notify Message Type registry,
   with a type value of 46.  This document requests IANA to update the
   reference from [RFC5206] to this specification.

8.  Differences from RFC 5206

   This section summarizes the technical changes made from [RFC5206].
   This section is informational, intended to help implementors of the
   previous protocol version.  If any text in this section contradicts
   text in other portions of this specification, the text found outside
   of this section should be considered normative.

   This document specifies extensions to the HIP Version 2 protocol,
   while [RFC5206] specifies extensions to the HIP Version 1 protocol.
   [RFC7401] documents the differences between these two protocol
   versions.

   [RFC5206] included procedures for both HIP host mobility and basic
   host multihoming.  In this document, only host mobility procedures
   are included; host multihoming procedures are now specified in
   [I-D.ietf-hip-multihoming].  In particular, multihoming-related
   procedures related to the exposure of multiple locators in the base
   exchange packets, the transmission, reception, and processing of

   multiple locators in a single UPDATE packet, handovers across IP
   address families, and other multihoming-related specification has
   been removed.

   The following additional changes have been made:

   o  The LOCATOR parameter in [RFC5206] has been renamed to
      LOCATOR_SET.

   o  Specification text regarding the handling of mobility when both
      hosts change IP addresses at nearly the same time (a 'double-jump'
      mobility scenario) has been added.

   o  Specification text regarding the mobility event in which the host
      briefly has an active new locator and old locator at the same time
      (a 'make-before-break' mobility scenario) has been added.

   o  Specification text has been added to note that a host may add the
      source IP address of a received HIP packet as a candidate locator
      for the peer even if it is not listed in the peer's LOCATOR_SET,
      but that it should prefer locators explicitly listed in the
      LOCATOR_SET.

   o  This document clarifies that the HOST_ID parameter may be included
      in UPDATE messages containing LOCATOR_SET parameters, for the
      possible benefit of HIP-aware firewalls.

   o  The previous specification mentioned that it may be possible to
      include multiple LOCATOR_SET and ESP_INFO parameters in an UPDATE.
      This document only specifies the case of a single LOCATOR_SET and
      ESP_INFO parameter in an UPDATE.

   o  The previous specification mentioned that it may be possible to
      send LOCATOR_SET parameters in packets other than the UPDATE.
      This document only specifies the use of the UPDATE packet.

   o  This document describes a simple heuristic for setting the credit
      value for Credit-Based Authorization.

   o  This specification mandates that a host must be able to receive
      and avoid reprocessing redundant LOCATOR_SET parameters that may
      have been sent in parallel to multiple addresses of the host.
