1. Introduction
This document describes the problem of linking stub networks to
existing networks automatically, in the same way that hosts, when
connected to an existing network, are able to discover network
addressing parameters, information about routing, and services that
are advertised on the network.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
There are several use cases for stub networks. Motivating factors
include:
* Transitory connectivity: a mobile device acting as a router for a
set of co-located devices could connect to a network and gain
access to services for itself and for the co-located devices.
Such a stub network is unlikely to have more than one stub router.
* Incompatible media: for example, a constrained 802.15.4 network
connected as a stub network to a WiFi or ethernet infrastructure
network. In the case of an 802.15.4 network, it is quite possible
that the devices used to link the infrastructure network to the
stub network will not be conceived of by the end user as routers.
Consequently, we cannot assume that these devices will be on all
the time. A solution for this use case will require some sort of
commissioning process for stub routers, and can't assume that any
particular stub router will always be available; rather, any stub
router that is available must be able to adapt to current
conditions to provide reachability.
* Convenience: end users often connect devices to each other in
order to extend networks
What makes stub networks a distinct type of network is simply that a
stub network never provides transit between networks to which it is
connected. The term "stub" refers to the way the network is seen by
the link to which it is connected: there is reachability through a
stub network router to the stub network from that link, but there is
no reachability to any link beyond that one.
Stub networks may be globally reachable, or may be only locally
reachable. A host on a globally reachable stub network can
interoperate with other hosts anywhere on the Internet. A host on a
locally reachable stub network can only interoperate with hosts on
the network link(s) to which it is connected.
The goal of this document is to describe the minimal set of changes
or behaviors required to use existing IETF specifications to support
the stub network use case. The result should be a small set of
protocol enhancements (ideally no changes at all to protocols) and
should be deployable on existing networks without requiring changes
to those networks. Both the locally-reachable and globally-reachable
use case should be able to be made to work, and ideally the globally-
reachable use case should build on what is used to make the locally-
reachable use case work, rather than requiring two separate
solutions.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
1.1. Interoperability Goals
What we mean by "interoperate" is that a host on a stub network:
* is discoverable by applicable hosts that are not on the stub
network
* is able to acquire an IP address that can be used to communicate
with applicable hosts not on the stub network
* has reachability to the network(s) to which applicable hosts are
attached
* is reachable from the network(s) to which applicable hosts are
attached
Discoverability here means "discoverable using DNS, or DNS Service
Discovery". As an example, when one host connected to a specific
WiFi network wishes to discover services on hosts connected to that
same WiFi network, it can do so using multicast DNS (RFC6762), which
is an example of DNS Service Discovery. Similarly, when a host on
some other network wishes to discover the same service, it must use
DNS-based DNS Service Discovery [RFC6763]. In both cases,
"discoverable using DNS" means that the host has an entry in the DNS.
NOTE: it may be tempting to ask, why do we lump discoverability in
with reachability and addressability, both of which are essentially
Layer 3 issues? The answer is that it does us no good to
automatically set up connectivity between stub network hosts and
infrastructure hosts if the infrastructure hosts have no mechanism
for learning about the availability of services provided by stub
network hosts. For stub networks that only consume cloud services
this will not be an issue, but for stub networks that provide
services, e.g. the incompatible media use case mentioned earlier,
discoverability is necessary in order for stub network connectivity
to be useful.
Ability to acquire an IP address that can be used to communicate
means that the IP address a host on the stub network acquires can be
used to communicate with it by hosts on neighbor networks, for
locally reachable stub networks, or by hosts on any network, for
globally reachable networks. Various means of providing such
addresses are discussed later.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
Reachability to networks on which applicable hosts are attached means
that when a host on the stub network has the IP address of an
applicable host with which it intends to communicate, that host knows
of a next-hop router to which it can send datagrams, so that they
will ultimately reach the host with that IP address.
Reachability from networks on which applicable hosts are attached
means that when such a host has a datagram destined for an IP address
on the stub network, a next-hop router is known by that host which,
when the datagram is sent to that router, will ultimately result in
the datagram reaching the intended stub network host.
1.2. Usability Goals
In addition to the interoperability goals we've described above, the
additional goal for stub networks is that they be able to be
connected automatically, with no user intervention. The experience
of connecting a stub network to an infrastructure should be as
straightforward as connecting a new host to the same infrastructure
network.
1.3. State of the Art
Currently there is one known way to accomplish what we are describing
here [[Michael, does ANIMA have a second way?]]. The Homenet working
group produced a protocol, HomeNet Configuration Protocol (HNCP), the
purpose of which is to allow a collection of routers to self-
configure. HNCP is not technically constrained to home environments;
in principle, it can work in any environment.
The problem with HNCP is twofold. First, it only works if it is
deployed on all routers within the network infrastructure for a site.
Secondly, it attempts to do too much, and invents too much that is
new. Let's look at these in order.
First, HNCP only works when deployed on all routers within the
network infrastructure. To be clear, this does not mean that it is
impossible to use HNCP on a network where, for instance, the edge
router(s) do not support HNCP. What it does mean is that if this
configuration works, the reason it works is that the network supports
prefix delegation to routers inside the network. So a router doing
HNCP can get a prefix using prefix delegation from, for example, an
edge router, and this will work.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
Unfortunately, the way that such an HNCP server should behave is not
documented, and it's not actually clear how it should behave. What
if the DHCP server allocates it a /64? HNCP is designed to get a
larger prefix and subdivide it-there is no provision for requesting
multiple delegations. So if we wanted to use HNCP to solve this
problem, we would need to do additional work.
Secondly, HNCP tries to do too much, and invents too much that is
new. HNCP is a complicated protocol for propagating network
configuration information in a mesh. It does not assume that any
network is a stub network, and because of that, using it to support
stub networks is needlessly complicated.
Despite having been an IETF proposed standard since 2016, and having
been worked on for quite some time before that, it is not possible to
purchase a router that implements HNCP. There exists a prototype
implementation in OpenWRT, but getting it to actually work is
problematic, and many problems have been left unsolved, and would be
quite difficult to solve with additional standards work.
We know this because several participants in the Homenet Working
Group have tried to implement make it work, and yet as yet we have
made no documentable progress, and indeed the Homenet Working Group
appears to be on the verge of closing.
Because of the first point-the utter lack of commercial
implementations of HNCP-any stub network solution that is intended to
be deployed to arbitrary networks can't rely on the availability of
HNCP. This may come in the future, but is not available now, and may
never be. Therefore, whatever approach is taken MAY use HNCP if
available, but MUST work without HNCP. Therefore, using HNCP
represents additional implementation complexity; whether this is
worth doing is something that should be considered, but because using
HNCP is necessarily optional, it probably makes the most sense to
assume that any functionality provided by HNCP will be external to
the stub network router, and that the stub network router itself need
not participate in the HNCP mesh.
2. Possible Approaches
2.1. Proxy ND
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
2.1.1. Reachability
Proxy Neighbor Discovery provides reachability to hosts on the stub
network by simply pretending that they are on the infrastructure
network. This reachability can be local or global depending on what
IPv6 service (if any) is available on the infrastructure link. The
use of Proxy ND for providing connectivity to stub networks is
described in [I-D.ietf-6lo-backbone-router].
2.1.2. Addressability
If IPv6 service is available on the infrastructure link, this service
can be used to provide addressability on the stub network, and also
provides addressability on the infrastructure link.
If IPv6 service is not available on the infrastructure link,
addressability for proxy ND can be provided by advertising an on-link
autoconfigurable prefix in a Router Advertisement offered by the stub
router.
2.1.3. Discoverability
Discoverability for stub network hosts can be provided using DNS-SD
service registration protocol on the stub network, in combination
with an Advertising Proxy on the stub router which would advertise
registered services to the infrastructure link.
Discoverability of infrastructure link hosts by stub network hosts
can be provided using a DNS-SD discovery proxy and/or regular DNS.
As long as the stub network requires that each stub router provide a
DNS-SD Discovery Proxy and also provide name resolution, this will
work even in the multiple stub router case.
2.1.4. Requirements
* The infrastructure must either provide IPv6 service, or not block
the provision of IPv6 service by the stub router.
* Hosts on the infrastructure link must support IPv6 and must
support IPv6 neighbor discovery.
* Every stub host must register with at least one stub router that
will do proxy ND for it.
* Routers must share proxy ND information, or else each router is a
single point of failure for the set of hosts that have registered
with it.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
* Sharing proxy ND information requires new protocol work
2.1.5. Observations
Can definitely work in specific circumstances, but probably doesn't
lend itself to full automation.
2.2. Stub reachability using RA
2.2.1. Reachability
Reachability to the stub network is provided using the Route
Information Option [RFC4191] in a router advertisement [RFC4861]
issued by the stub router. Since the stub router does not provide
IPv6 connectivity, it must not advertise itself as a default router.
Each stub router can provide a default route to the stub network.
2.2.2. Addressability
Addressability on the stub network is provided using a ULA prefix
generated by the stub router. Addressibility on the infrastructure
link is either provided by the infrastructure, or else must be
provided by the stub router.
2.2.3. Discoverability
Discoverability for this approach is the same as for the Proxy ND
approach.
2.2.4. Requirements
* Infrastructure network must not block router advertisements.
* Hosts on the infrastructure network must support IPv6, must
support the use of non-default routes as described in [RFC4191],
and must support routing through non-default routers (routers with
a router lifetime of 0).
* Stub routers must cooperate with other stub routers in announcing
an on-link prefix to the stub network.
* Stub routers must cooperate with infrastructure routers in
announcing an on-link prefix for the infrastructure network. Stub
routers must not advertise an on-link prefix when an on-link
prefix is already present.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
2.2.5. Observations
This option has the advantage of relying primarily on ordinary IPv6
routing, as opposed to workarounds like proxy neighbor discovery or
NAT64. The cooperation that is required between stub routers is
minimal: they need simply minimize the advertising of redundant
information. When redundant information is advertised, this is an
aesthetic issue rather than an operational issue, and can be allowed
to heal gradually.
Additionally, this option does not require any new behavior on the
part of existing hosts or routers. It does assume that
infrastructure hosts actually implement [RFC4191], but it is not
unreasonable to expect that this either is already the case, or can
easily be accomplished. It also assumes that the infrastructure does
not enforce RA Guard [RFC6105]. This is compatible with the
recommendations in RFC6105, which indicates that RA guard needs to be
configured before it is enabled.
The approach described in this section only makes it possible for
stub network hosts to interoperate with hosts on the link to which
the stub router is directly attached. The "Global Reachability"
approach talks about how to establish interoperability between stub
network hosts and hosts on links to which the stub network is not
directly attached.
2.3. Global reachability
Global reachability for stub networks requires either the use of
NAT64, or else the presence of global IPv6 service on the link. As
such it is more of an add-on approach than a different approach.
This section talks about a specific example of global reachability:
how to make global reachability work for the "Stub Reachability using
RA" approach mentioned earlier.
The "global reachability" approach has applicability both in the
literal sense, and also in the sense of "reachability beyond the link
to which the stub router is directly attached." The behavior of the
stub router is the same in both cases: it is up to the network
infrastructure what prefix is delegated to the stub router, and what
reachability is provided.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
2.3.1. Reachability
Reachability in this case requires integration into the routing
infrastructure. This is most easily accomplished by having the
DHCPv6 prefix delegation server add an entry in the routing table
pointing to the stub router to which the prefix has been delegated.
Stub routers can also advertise reachability to the stub network
using router advertisements, but these will only work on the local
link.
2.3.2. Addressability
Addressability in this case for hosts on the infrastructure link is
assumed to be provided by the infrastructure, since we are relying on
the infrastructure to provide DHCPv6 prefix delegation.
Addressibility on the stub network is provided using the prefix
acquired with prefix delegation.
2.3.3. Discoverability
Discoverability for devices on the link to which the stub network is
attached can be done as described earlier under the "Proxy ND"
approach.
2.3.4. Requirements
* Infrastructure network must support prefix allocation using DHCPv6
prefix delegation.
* Infrastructure network must install routes to prefixes provided
using DHCPv6 prefix delegation.
* In the case of multiple stub routers, stub routers must cooperate
both in acquiring and renewing prefixes acquired using prefix
delegation. Stub routers must communicate complete routing
information to the DHCPv6 prefix delegation server so that it can
install routes.
2.3.5. Observations
This approach should be a proper superset of the "Stub Reachability
using RA" approach. The primary technical challenge here is
specifying how multiple stub routers cooperate in doing prefix
delegation.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
2.4. Support for IPv4
This document generally assumes that stub networks only support IPv6.
Bidirectional reachability for IPv4 can be provided using a
combination of NAT44 and Port Control Protocol [RFC6887]. The use of
NAT44 and PCP in this way has already been solved and need not be
discussed here.
2.4.1. Reachability
Reachability is complicated for NAT64. Typical NAT64 deployments
provide reachability from the stub network to the rest of the
Internet, but do not provide reachability from the rest of the
internet to the stub network. As with NAT44 and PCP, this type of
reachability is a solved problem and need not be discussed here. To
provide complete reachability to the IPv4 internet, a stub router
must not only provide reachability to the cloud, but also
reachability from the cloud. That additional work is discussed here.
To provide reachability from the cloud to devices on the network,
devices on the network will need to obtain static mappings from the
external IPv4 address and a port to the internal IPv6 address and a
port. There are three ways to do this:
* The stub host can use Port Control Protocol to register a port,
and then advertise that using SRP.
* The stub host can simply register using SRP, and then SRP can
establish a port mapping.
The first option has the advantage that the stub host is in complete
control over what is advertised. However, it places an additional
burden on the stub host which may not be desirable: the host has to
implement PCP and link the PCP port allocation to the SRP
registration.
For a constrained network device, it is most likely preferable to
combine the two transactions: the SRP server can receive the
registration from the stub host and acquire a PCP mapping for it, and
then register an AAAA and A record for the host along with an SRV
record for the IPv4 and IPv6 mappings. The hostname mapping would
need to be different for the A record and the AAAA record in order to
avoid spurious connections to the IPv4 port on the IPv6 address and
vice versa.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
2.4.2. Addressability
Addressability on the stub network can be provided using a ULA prefix
specific to the stub network or, if NAT64 is being used in addition
to one of the other solutions discussed here, the prefix allocated on
the stub network for that purpose can also be used for NAT64.
IPv4 addressability on the infrastructure network is provided by the
infrastructure network. It is also possible that the infrastructure
network is an IPv6 network. In that case, the NAT64 edge router may
be provided by the infrastructure as well.
2.4.3. Discoverability
The discoverability described for the "ND Proxy" approach should work
here as well, except for the caveat mentioned above under
"reachability".
2.4.4. Requirements
* TBD
2.4.5. Observations
Support for NAT64 may be required for some deployments. NAT64
support requires either close cooperation between stub routers, or
else requires that the NAT64 translation be done externally. The
latter choice is likely quite a bit easier; solutions that provide
load balancing and high availability are already available on the
market, and hence do not require that the stub routers perform this
function. This is expected to be the best approach to serve the
needs of consumers of this capability.
3. Discoverability Options
We can divide the set of hosts needing to be discovered and the set
of hosts needing to discover them into four categories:
* Stub network hosts (stub hosts)
* Hosts that are on the link to which the stub network is directly
connected (direct hosts)
* Hosts that are on other links within the same infrastructure
(infrastructure hosts)
* Hosts that are on other links not within the same infrastructure
(cloud hosts)
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
To enable stub hosts to discover direct hosts, a Discovery Proxy
[RFC8766] can be used. This must be resident on any stub network
router that is seen by the stub host as a resolver.
To enable stub hosts to discover infrastructure hosts using DNS-SD
[RFC6763], the infrastructure must provide support for RFC6763
service discover using DNS.
To enable stub hosts to discover infrastructure hosts and cloud hosts
using DNS, DNS resolution must be provided by the stub router, and
the infrastructure must additionally provide the stub router with the
ability to resolve names.
To enable direct hosts to discover stub hosts, stub routers must
implement a DNS-SD Advertising Proxy. Stub hosts must register with
the advertising proxy using SRP.
To enable infrastructure hosts to discover stub hosts, stub routers
must provide authoritative DNS service for the stub network link so
that it can be integrated into the infrastructure DNS-SD service. To
do this automatically will require additional protocol work.
To enable cloud hosts to discover stub hosts, stub hosts would need
to register with the DNS, and the infrastructure would need to make
those registrations available globally, perhaps with whitelisting.
This is probably not a very widely applicable use case, and we do not
consider specifying how this works to be part of the work of this
document.
4. Multiple Egress, Multiple Link
In the case of a stub network that has multiple stub routers, it is
possible that, either when the stub network is initially set up, or
subsequently, one or more stub routers might be connected to a
different infrastructure link than one or more other stub routers.
There are two viable approaches to this problem:
* declare it out of scope and have the stub routers prevent such
configurations
* make sure that stub routers attached to each infrastructure link
provide complete service on that link
Explain further.
Lemon Expires 27 October 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Stub Networks Problem Statement April 2022
5. Management Considerations
TBD
6. Privacy Considerations
In the locally reachable case, privacy is protected in the sense that
names published locally are only visible to devices connected
locally. This may be insufficient privacy in some cases.
In the globally reachable case, discoverability has privacy
implications. Unfiltered automatic discoverability is probably not a
good idea in the globally reachable case. If automatic
discoverability is provided, some filtering mechanism would need to
be specified.
7. Security Considerations
TBD
8. IANA considerations
No new actions are required by IANA for this document.
