Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
1. Introduction
In order to verifiably validate the origin Autonomous Systems (ASes)
of BGP announcements, routers need a simple but reliable mechanism to
receive Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) [RFC6480]
cryptographically validated prefix origin data from a trusted cache.
This document describes a protocol to deliver validated prefix origin
data to routers. The design is intentionally constrained to be
usable on much of the current generation of ISP router platforms.
Section 3 describes the deployment structure, and Section 4 then
presents an operational overview. The binary payloads of the
protocol are formally described in Section 5, and the expected PDU
sequences are described in Section 8. The transport protocol options
are described in Section 9. Section 10 details how routers and
caches are configured to connect and authenticate. Section 11
describes likely deployment scenarios. The traditional security and
IANA considerations end the document.
The protocol is extensible in order to support new PDUs with new
semantics, if deployment experience indicates they are needed. PDUs
are versioned should deployment experience call for change.
For an implementation (not interoperability) report, see
[I-D.ietf-sidr-rpki-rtr-impl]
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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]
only when they appear in all upper case. They may also appear in
lower or mixed case as English words, without special meaning.
2. Glossary
The following terms are used with special meaning.
Global RPKI: The authoritative data of the RPKI are published in a
distributed set of servers at the IANA, Regional Internet
Registries (RIRs), National Internet Registries (NIRs), and ISPs;
see [RFC6481].
Cache: A coalesced copy of the RPKI, which is periodically fetched/
refreshed directly or indirectly from the Global RPKI using the
[RFC5781] protocol/tools. Relying party software is used to
gather and validate the distributed data of the RPKI into a cache.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Trusting this cache further is a matter between the provider of
the cache and a relying party.
Serial Number: A 32-bit strictly increasing unsigned integer which
wraps from 2^32-1 to 0. It denotes the logical version of a
cache. A cache increments the value when it successfully updates
its data from a parent cache or from primary RPKI data. As a
cache is receiving, new incoming data and implicit deletes are
associated with the new serial but MUST NOT be sent until the
fetch is complete. A Serial Number is not commensurate between
caches, nor need it be maintained across resets of the cache
server. See [RFC1982] on DNS Serial Number Arithmetic for too
much detail on the topic.
Session ID: When a cache server is started, it generates a session
identifier to uniquely identify the instance of the cache and to
bind it to the sequence of Serial Numbers that cache instance will
generate. This allows the router to restart a failed session
knowing that the Serial Number it is using is commensurate with
that of the cache.
3. Deployment Structure
Deployment of the RPKI to reach routers has a three-level structure
as follows:
Global RPKI: The authoritative data of the RPKI are published in a
distributed set of servers, RPKI publication repositories, e.g.,
the IANA, RIRs, NIRs, and ISPs, see [RFC6481].
Local Caches: A local set of one or more collected and verified
caches. A relying party, e.g., router or other client, MUST have
a trust relationship with, and a trusted transport channel to, any
authoritative cache(s) it uses.
Routers: A router fetches data from a local cache using the protocol
described in this document. It is said to be a client of the
cache. There MAY be mechanisms for the router to assure itself of
the authenticity of the cache and to authenticate itself to the
cache.
4. Operational Overview
A router establishes and keeps open a connection to one or more
caches with which it has client/server relationships. It is
configured with a semi-ordered list of caches, and establishes a
connection to the most preferred cache, or set of caches, which
accept the connections.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
The router MUST choose the most preferred, by configuration, cache or
set of caches so that the operator may control load on their caches
and the Global RPKI.
Periodically, the router sends to the cache the Serial Number of the
highest numbered data it has received from that cache, i.e., the
router's current Serial Number. When a router establishes a new
connection to a cache, or wishes to reset a current relationship, it
sends a Reset Query.
The Cache responds with all data records which have Serial Numbers
greater than that in the router's query. This may be the null set,
in which case the End of Data PDU is still sent. Note that 'greater'
must take wrap-around into account, see [RFC1982].
When the router has received all data records from the cache, it sets
its current Serial Number to that of the Serial Number in the End of
Data PDU.
When the cache updates its database, it sends a Notify message to
every currently connected router. This is a hint that now would be a
good time for the router to poll for an update, but is only a hint.
The protocol requires the router to poll for updates periodically in
any case.
Strictly speaking, a router could track a cache simply by asking for
a complete data set every time it updates, but this would be very
inefficient. The Serial Number based incremental update mechanism
allows an efficient transfer of just the data records which have
changed since last update. As with any update protocol based on
incremental transfers, the router must be prepared to fall back to a
full transfer if for any reason the cache is unable to provide the
necessary incremental data. Unlike some incremental transfer
protocols, this protocol requires the router to make an explicit
request to start the fallback process; this is deliberate, as the
cache has no way of knowing whether the router has also established
sessions with other caches that may be able to provide better
service.
As a cache server must evaluate certificates and ROAs (Route Origin
Attestations; see [RFC6480]), which are time dependent, servers'
clocks MUST be correct to a tolerance of approximately an hour.
5. Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
The exchanges between the cache and the router are sequences of
exchanges of the following PDUs according to the rules described in
Section 8.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Fields with unspecified content MUST be zero on transmission and MAY
be ignored on receipt.
5.1. Fields of a PDU
PDUs contain the following data elements:
Protocol Version: An eight-bit unsigned integer, currently 1,
denoting the version of this protocol.
PDU Type: An eight-bit unsigned integer, denoting the type of the
PDU, e.g., IPv4 Prefix, etc.
Serial Number: The Serial Number of the RPKI Cache when this set of
PDUs was received from an upstream cache server or gathered from
the Global RPKI. A cache increments its Serial Number when
completing a rigorously validated update from a parent cache or
the Global RPKI.
Session ID: When a cache server is started, it generates a Session
ID to identify the instance of the cache and to bind it to the
sequence of Serial Numbers that cache instance will generate.
This allows the router to restart a failed session knowing that
the Serial Number it is using is commensurate with that of the
cache. If, at any time, either the router or the cache finds the
value of the session identifier is not the same as the other's,
they MUST completely drop the session and the router MUST flush
all data learned from that cache.
Should a cache erroneously reuse a Session ID so that a router
does not realize that the session has changed (old session ID and
new session ID have same numeric value), the router may become
confused as to the content of the cache. The time it takes the
router to discover it is confused will depend on whether the
Serial Numbers are also reused. If the Serial Numbers in the old
and new sessions are different enough, the cache will respond to
the router's Serial Query with a Cache Reset, which will solve the
problem. If, however, the Serial Numbers are close, the cache may
respond with a Cache Response, which may not be enough to bring
the router into sync. In such cases, it's likely but not certain
that the router will detect some discrepancy between the state
that the cache expects and its own state. For example, the Cache
Response may tell the router to drop a record which the router
does not hold, or may tell the router to add a record which the
router already has. In such cases, a router will detect the error
and reset the session. The one case in which the router may stay
out of sync is when nothing in the Cache Response contradicts any
data currently held by the router.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Using persistent storage for the session identifier or a clock-
based scheme for generating session identifiers should avoid the
risk of session identifier collisions.
The Session ID might be a pseudo-random value, a strictly
increasing value if the cache has reliable storage, etc.
Length: A 32-bit unsigned integer which has as its value the count
of the bytes in the entire PDU, including the eight bytes of
header which end with the length field.
Flags: The lowest order bit of the Flags field is 1 for an
announcement and 0 for a withdrawal. For a Prefix PDU (IPv4 or
IPv6), the flag indicates whether this PDU announces a new right
to announce the prefix or withdraws a previously announced right;
a withdraw effectively deletes one previously announced Prefix PDU
with the exact same Prefix, Length, Max-Len, and Autonomous System
Number (ASN). Similarly, for a Router Key PDU, the flag indicates
whether this PDU announces a new Router Key or deletes one
previously announced Router Key PDU with the exact same AS
Numbers, subjectKeyIdentifier, and subjectPublicKeyInfo.
Prefix Length: An 8-bit unsigned integer denoting the shortest
prefix allowed for the prefix.
Max Length: An 8-bit unsigned integer denoting the longest prefix
allowed by the prefix. This MUST NOT be less than the Prefix
Length element.
Prefix: The IPv4 or IPv6 prefix of the ROA.
Autonomous System Number: ASN allowed to announce this prefix, a
32-bit unsigned integer.
Zero: Fields shown as zero or reserved MUST be zero. The value of
such a field MUST be ignored on receipt.
5.2. Serial Notify
The cache notifies the router that the cache has new data.
The Session ID reassures the router that the Serial Numbers are
commensurate, i.e., the cache session has not been changed.
Upon receipt of a Serial Notify PDU, the router MAY issue an
immediate Serial Query or Reset Query without waiting for the Refresh
Interval timer to expire.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Serial Notify is the only message that the cache can send that is not
in response to a message from the router.

5.3. Serial Query
Serial Query: The router sends Serial Query to ask the cache for all
payload PDUs which have Serial Numbers higher than the Serial Number
in the Serial Query.
The cache replies to this query with a Cache Response PDU
(Section 5.5) if the cache has a, possibly null, record of the
changes since the Serial Number specified by the router. If there
have been no changes since the router last queried, the cache sends
an End Of Data PDU.
If the cache does not have the data needed to update the router,
perhaps because its records do not go back to the Serial Number in
the Serial Query, then it responds with a Cache Reset PDU
(Section 5.9).
The Session ID tells the cache what instance the router expects to
ensure that the Serial Numbers are commensurate, i.e., the cache
session has not been changed.

5.4. Reset Query
Reset Query: The router tells the cache that it wants to receive the
total active, current, non-withdrawn database. The cache responds
with a Cache Response PDU (Section 5.5).

5.5. Cache Response
Cache Response: The cache responds with zero or more payload PDUs.
When replying to a Serial Query request (Section 5.3), the cache
sends the set of all data records it has with Serial Numbers greater
than that sent by the client router. When replying to a Reset Query,
the cache sends the set of all data records it has; in this case, the
withdraw/announce field in the payload PDUs MUST have the value 1
(announce).
In response to a Reset Query, the new value of the Session ID tells
the router the instance of the cache session for future confirmation.
In response to a Serial Query, the Session ID being the same
reassures the router that the Serial Numbers are commensurate, i.e.,
the cache session has not changed.

`-------------------------------------------'
The lowest order bit of the Flags field is 1 for an announcement and
0 for a withdrawal.
In the RPKI, nothing prevents a signing certificate from issuing two
identical ROAs. In this case, there would be no semantic difference
between the objects, merely a process redundancy.
In the RPKI, there is also an actual need for what might appear to a
router as identical IPvX PDUs. This can occur when an upstream
certificate is being reissued or there is an address ownership
transfer up the validation chain. The ROA would be identical in the
router sense, i.e., have the same {Prefix, Len, Max-Len, ASN}, but a
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
different validation path in the RPKI. This is important to the
RPKI, but not to the router.
The cache server MUST ensure that it has told the router client to
have one and only one IPvX PDU for a unique {Prefix, Len, Max-Len,
ASN} at any one point in time. Should the router client receive an
IPvX PDU with a {Prefix, Len, Max-Len, ASN} identical to one it
already has active, it SHOULD raise a Duplicate Announcement Received
error.

Analogous to the IPv4 Prefix PDU, it has 96 more bits and no magic.
5.8. End of Data
End of Data: The cache tells the router it has no more data for the
request.
The Session ID MUST be the same as that of the corresponding Cache
Response which began the, possibly null, sequence of data PDUs.

The Refresh Interval, Retry Interval, and Expire Interval are all
32-bit elapsed times measured in seconds, and express the timing
parameters that the cache expects the router to use to decide when
next to send the cache another Serial Query or Reset Query PDU. See
Section 6 for an explanation of the use and the range of allowed
values for these parameters.
5.9. Cache Reset
The cache may respond to a Serial Query informing the router that the
cache cannot provide an incremental update starting from the Serial
Number specified by the router. The router must decide whether to
issue a Reset Query or switch to a different cache.

In addition to the normal boilerplate fields of an RPKI-Router PDU,
the Router Key PDU has the following fields.
Subject Key Identifier is the 20-octet subjectKeyIdentifier (SKI)
value for the Router Key, as described in [RFC6487].
AS Numbers contains one or more Autonomous System Numbers. The
number of ASNs is specified in the AS Count field. To simplify
comparision, the ASNs within this field MUST be sorted into
increasing numerical order considered as unsigned big-endian
32-bit integers.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Subject Public Key Info is the Router Key's subjectPublicKeyInfo as
described in [I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-algs]. This is the full ASN.1
DER encoding of the subjectPublicKeyInfo, including the ASN.1 tag
and length values of the subjectPublicKeyInfo SEQUENCE.
5.11. Error Report
This PDU is used by either party to report an error to the other.
Error reports are only sent as responses to other PDUs.
The Error Code is described in Section 12.
If the error is generic (e.g., "Internal Error") and not associated
with the PDU to which it is responding, the Erroneous PDU field MUST
be empty and the Length of Encapsulated PDU field MUST be zero.
An Error Report PDU MUST NOT be sent for an Error Report PDU. If an
erroneous Error Report PDU is received, the session SHOULD be
dropped.
If the error is associated with a PDU of excessive length, i.e., too
long to be any legal PDU other than another Error Report, or a
possibly corrupt length, the Erroneous PDU field MAY be truncated.
The diagnostic text is optional; if not present, the Length of Error
Text field MUST be zero. If error text is present, it MUST be a
string in UTF-8 encoding (see [RFC3269]).

6. Protocol Timing Parameters
Since the data the cache distributes via the rpki-rtr protocol are
retrieved from the Global RPKI system at intervals which are only
known to the cache, only the cache can really know how frequently it
makes sense for the router to poll the cache, or how long the data
are likely to remain valid (or, at least, unchanged). For this
reason, as well as to allow the cache some control over the load
placed on it by its client routers, the End Of Data PDU includes
three values that allow the router to communicate timing parameters
to the router.
Refresh Interval: This parameter tells the router how long to wait
before next attempting to poll the cache, using a Serial Query or
Reset Query PDU. Note that receipt of a Serial Notify PDU
overrides this interval and allows the router to issue an
immediate query without waiting for the Refresh Interval to
expire. Countdown for this timer starts upon receipt of the
containing End Of Data PDU.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Minimum allowed value: 120 seconds (two minutes).
Maximum allowed value: 86400 seconds (one day).
Recommended default: 3600 seconds (one hour).
Retry Interval: This parameter tells the router how long to wait
before retrying a failed Serial Query or Reset Query. Countdown
for this timer starts upon failure of the query, and restarts
after each subsequent failure until a query succeeds.
Minimum allowed value: 120 seconds (two minutes).
Maximum allowed value: 7200 seconds (two hours).
Recommended default: 600 seconds (ten minutes).
Expire Interval: This parameter tells the router how long it can
continue to use the current version of the data while unable to
perform a sucessful query. Countdown for this timer starts upon
receipt of the containing End Of Data PDU.
Minimum allowed value: 600 seconds (ten minutes).
Maximum allowed value: 172800 seconds (two days).
Recommended default: 7200 seconds (two hours).
If the router has never issued a succesful query against a particular
cache, it retry periodically using the default Retry Interval, above.
7. Protocol Version Negotiation
A router MUST start each transport session by issuing either a Reset
Query or a Serial Query. This query will tell the cache which
version of this protocol the router implements.
If a cache which supports version 1 receieves a query from a router
which specifies version 0, the cache MUST downgrade to protocol
version 0 [RFC6810] or terminate the session.
If a router which supports version 1 sends a query to a cache which
only supports version 0, one of two things will happen.
1. The cache may terminate the connection, perhaps with a version 0
Error Report PDU. In this case the router MAY retry the
connection using protocol version 0.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
2. The cache may reply with a version 0 response. In this case the
router MUST either downgrade to version 0 or terminate the
connection.
In any of the downgraded combinations above, the new features of
version 1 will not be available.
8. Protocol Sequences
The sequences of PDU transmissions fall into three conversations as
follows:
8.1. Start or Restart
Cache Router
~ ~
| <----- Reset Query -------- | R requests data (or Serial Query)
| |
| ----- Cache Response -----> | C confirms request
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | C sends zero or more
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | IPv4 and IPv6 Prefix
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | Payload PDUs
| ------ End of Data ------> | C sends End of Data
| | and sends new serial
~ ~
When a transport session is first established, the router MAY send a
Reset Query and the cache responds with a data sequence of all data
it contains.
Alternatively, if the router has significant unexpired data from a
broken session with the same cache, it MAY start with a Serial Query
containing the Session ID from the previous session to ensure the
Serial Numbers are commensurate.
This Reset Query sequence is also used when the router receives a
Cache Reset, chooses a new cache, or fears that it has otherwise lost
its way.
The router MUST send either a Reset Query or a Serial Query when
starting a transport session, in order to confirm that router and
cache are speaking compatible versions of the protocol. See
Section 7 for details on version negotiation.
To limit the length of time a cache must keep the data necessary to
generate incremental updates, a router MUST send either a Serial
Query or a Reset Query periodically. This also acts as a keep-alive
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
at the application layer. See Section 6 for details on the required
polling frequency.
8.2. Typical Exchange
Cache Router
~ ~
| -------- Notify ----------> | (optional)
| |
| <----- Serial Query ------- | R requests data
| |
| ----- Cache Response -----> | C confirms request
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | C sends zero or more
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | IPv4 and IPv6 Prefix
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | Payload PDUs
| ------ End of Data ------> | C sends End of Data
| | and sends new serial
~ ~
The cache server SHOULD send a notify PDU with its current Serial
Number when the cache's serial changes, with the expectation that the
router MAY then issue a Serial Query earlier than it otherwise might.
This is analogous to DNS NOTIFY in [RFC1996]. The cache MUST rate
limit Serial Notifies to no more frequently than one per minute.
When the transport layer is up and either a timer has gone off in the
router, or the cache has sent a Notify, the router queries for new
data by sending a Serial Query, and the cache sends all data newer
than the serial in the Serial Query.
To limit the length of time a cache must keep old withdraws, a router
MUST send either a Serial Query or a Reset Query periodially. See
Section 6 for details on the required polling frequency.
8.3. No Incremental Update Available
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Cache Router
~ ~
| <----- Serial Query ------ | R requests data
| ------- Cache Reset ------> | C cannot supply update
| | from specified serial
| <------ Reset Query ------- | R requests new data
| ----- Cache Response -----> | C confirms request
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | C sends zero or more
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | IPv4 and IPv6 Prefix
| ------- IPvX Prefix ------> | Payload PDUs
| ------ End of Data ------> | C sends End of Data
| | and sends new serial
~ ~
The cache may respond to a Serial Query with a Cache Reset, informing
the router that the cache cannot supply an incremental update from
the Serial Number specified by the router. This might be because the
cache has lost state, or because the router has waited too long
between polls and the cache has cleaned up old data that it no longer
believes it needs, or because the cache has run out of storage space
and had to expire some old data early. Regardless of how this state
arose, the cache replies with a Cache Reset to tell the router that
it cannot honor the request. When a router receives this, the router
SHOULD attempt to connect to any more preferred caches in its cache
list. If there are no more preferred caches, it MUST issue a Reset
Query and get an entire new load from the cache.
8.4. Cache Has No Data Available
Cache Router
~ ~
| <----- Serial Query ------ | R requests data
| ---- Error Report PDU ----> | C No Data Available
~ ~
Cache Router
~ ~
| <----- Reset Query ------- | R requests data
| ---- Error Report PDU ----> | C No Data Available
~ ~
The cache may respond to either a Serial Query or a Reset Query
informing the router that the cache cannot supply any update at all.
The most likely cause is that the cache has lost state, perhaps due
to a restart, and has not yet recovered. While it is possible that a
cache might go into such a state without dropping any of its active
sessions, a router is more likely to see this behavior when it
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
initially connects and issues a Reset Query while the cache is still
rebuilding its database.
When a router receives this kind of error, the router SHOULD attempt
to connect to any other caches in its cache list, in preference
order. If no other caches are available, the router MUST issue
periodic Reset Queries until it gets a new usable load from the
cache.
9. Transport
The transport-layer session between a router and a cache carries the
binary PDUs in a persistent session.
To prevent cache spoofing and DoS attacks by illegitimate routers, it
is highly desirable that the router and the cache be authenticated to
each other. Integrity protection for payloads is also desirable to
protect against monkey-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Unfortunately,
there is no protocol to do so on all currently used platforms.
Therefore, as of the writing of this document, there is no mandatory-
to-implement transport which provides authentication and integrity
protection.
To reduce exposure to dropped but non-terminated sessions, both
caches and routers SHOULD enable keep-alives when available in the
chosen transport protocol.
It is expected that, when the TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO)
[RFC5925] is available on all platforms deployed by operators, it
will become the mandatory-to-implement transport.
Caches and routers MUST implement unprotected transport over TCP
using a port, rpki-rtr (323); see Section 14. Operators SHOULD use
procedural means, e.g., access control lists (ACLs), to reduce the
exposure to authentication issues.
Caches and routers SHOULD use TCP-AO, SSHv2, TCP MD5, or IPsec
transport.
If unprotected TCP is the transport, the cache and routers MUST be on
the same trusted and controlled network.
If available to the operator, caches and routers MUST use one of the
following more protected protocols.
Caches and routers SHOULD use TCP-AO transport [RFC5925] over the
rpki-rtr port.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Caches and routers MAY use SSHv2 transport [RFC4252] using a the
normal SSH port. For an example, see Section 9.1.
Caches and routers MAY use TCP MD5 transport [RFC2385] using the
rpki-rtr port. Note that TCP MD5 has been obsoleted by TCP-AO
[RFC5925].
Caches and routers MAY use IPsec transport [RFC4301] using the rpki-
rtr port.
Caches and routers MAY use TLS transport [RFC5246] using a port,
rpki-rtr-tls (324); see Section 14.
9.1. SSH Transport
To run over SSH, the client router first establishes an SSH transport
connection using the SSHv2 transport protocol, and the client and
server exchange keys for message integrity and encryption. The
client then invokes the "ssh-userauth" service to authenticate the
application, as described in the SSH authentication protocol
[RFC4252]. Once the application has been successfully authenticated,
the client invokes the "ssh-connection" service, also known as the
SSH connection protocol.
After the ssh-connection service is established, the client opens a
channel of type "session", which results in an SSH session.
Once the SSH session has been established, the application invokes
the application transport as an SSH subsystem called "rpki-rtr".
Subsystem support is a feature of SSH version 2 (SSHv2) and is not
included in SSHv1. Running this protocol as an SSH subsystem avoids
the need for the application to recognize shell prompts or skip over
extraneous information, such as a system message that is sent at
shell start-up.
It is assumed that the router and cache have exchanged keys out of
band by some reasonably secured means.
Cache servers supporting SSH transport MUST accept RSA and Digital
Signature Algorithm (DSA) authentication and SHOULD accept Elliptic
Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) authentication. User
authentication MUST be supported; host authentication MAY be
supported. Implementations MAY support password authentication.
Client routers SHOULD verify the public key of the cache to avoid
monkey-in-the-middle attacks.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
9.2. TLS Transport
Client routers using TLS transport MUST present client-side
certificates to authenticate themselves to the cache in order to
allow the cache to manage the load by rejecting connections from
unauthorized routers. In principle, any type of certificate and
certificate authority (CA) may be used; however, in general, cache
operators will wish to create their own small-scale CA and issue
certificates to each authorized router. This simplifies credential
rollover; any unrevoked, unexpired certificate from the proper CA may
be used.
Certificates used to authenticate client routers in this protocol
MUST include a subjectAltName extension [RFC5280] containing one or
more iPAddress identities; when authenticating the router's
certificate, the cache MUST check the IP address of the TLS
connection against these iPAddress identities and SHOULD reject the
connection if none of the iPAddress identities match the connection.
Routers MUST also verify the cache's TLS server certificate, using
subjectAltName dNSName identities as described in [RFC6125], to avoid
monkey-in-the-middle attacks. The rules and guidelines defined in
[RFC6125] apply here, with the following considerations:
Support for DNS-ID identifier type (that is, the dNSName identity
in the subjectAltName extension) is REQUIRED in rpki-rtr server
and client implementations which use TLS. Certification
authorities which issue rpki-rtr server certificates MUST support
the DNS-ID identifier type, and the DNS-ID identifier type MUST be
present in rpki-rtr server certificates.
DNS names in rpki-rtr server certificates SHOULD NOT contain the
wildcard character "*".
rpki-rtr implementations which use TLS MUST NOT use CN-ID
identifiers; a CN field may be present in the server certificate's
subject name, but MUST NOT be used for authentication within the
rules described in [RFC6125].
The client router MUST set its "reference identifier" to the DNS
name of the rpki-rtr cache.
9.3. TCP MD5 Transport
If TCP MD5 is used, implementations MUST support key lengths of at
least 80 printable ASCII bytes, per Section 4.5 of [RFC2385].
Implementations MUST also support hexadecimal sequences of at least
32 characters, i.e., 128 bits.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Key rollover with TCP MD5 is problematic. Cache servers SHOULD
support [RFC4808].
9.4. TCP-AO Transport
Implementations MUST support key lengths of at least 80 printable
ASCII bytes. Implementations MUST also support hexadecimal sequences
of at least 32 characters, i.e., 128 bits. Message Authentication
Code (MAC) lengths of at least 96 bits MUST be supported, per
Section 5.1 of [RFC5925].
The cryptographic algorithms and associcated parameters described in
[RFC5926] MUST be supported.
10. Router-Cache Setup
A cache has the public authentication data for each router it is
configured to support.
A router may be configured to peer with a selection of caches, and a
cache may be configured to support a selection of routers. Each must
have the name of, and authentication data for, each peer. In
addition, in a router, this list has a non-unique preference value
for each server. This preference merely denotes proximity, not
trust, preferred belief, etc. The client router attempts to
establish a session with each potential serving cache in preference
order, and then starts to load data from the most preferred cache to
which it can connect and authenticate. The router's list of caches
has the following elements:
Preference: An unsigned integer denoting the router's preference to
connect to that cache; the lower the value, the more preferred.
Name: The IP address or fully qualified domain name of the cache.
Key: Any needed public key of the cache.
MyKey: Any needed private key or certificate of this client.
Due to the distributed nature of the RPKI, caches simply cannot be
rigorously synchronous. A client may hold data from multiple caches
but MUST keep the data marked as to source, as later updates MUST
affect the correct data.
Just as there may be more than one covering ROA from a single cache,
there may be multiple covering ROAs from multiple caches. The
results are as described in [RFC6811].
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
If data from multiple caches are held, implementations MUST NOT
distinguish between data sources when performing validation.
When a more preferred cache becomes available, if resources allow, it
would be prudent for the client to start fetching from that cache.
The client SHOULD attempt to maintain at least one set of data,
regardless of whether it has chosen a different cache or established
a new connection to the previous cache.
A client MAY drop the data from a particular cache when it is fully
in sync with one or more other caches.
A client SHOULD delete the data from a cache when it has been unable
to refresh from that cache for a configurable timer value. The
default for that value is twice the polling period for that cache.
If a client loses connectivity to a cache it is using, or otherwise
decides to switch to a new cache, it SHOULD retain the data from the
previous cache until it has a full set of data from one or more other
caches. Note that this may already be true at the point of
connection loss if the client has connections to more than one cache.
11. Deployment Scenarios
For illustration, we present three likely deployment scenarios.
Small End Site: The small multihomed end site may wish to outsource
the RPKI cache to one or more of their upstream ISPs. They would
exchange authentication material with the ISP using some out-of-
band mechanism, and their router(s) would connect to the cache(s)
of one or more upstream ISPs. The ISPs would likely deploy caches
intended for customer use separately from the caches with which
their own BGP speakers peer.
Large End Site: A larger multihomed end site might run one or more
caches, arranging them in a hierarchy of client caches, each
fetching from a serving cache which is closer to the Global RPKI.
They might configure fall-back peerings to upstream ISP caches.
ISP Backbone: A large ISP would likely have one or more redundant
caches in each major point of presence (PoP), and these caches
would fetch from each other in an ISP-dependent topology so as not
to place undue load on the Global RPKI.
Experience with large DNS cache deployments has shown that complex
topologies are ill-advised as it is easy to make errors in the graph,
e.g., not maintain a loop-free condition.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Of course, these are illustrations and there are other possible
deployment strategies. It is expected that minimizing load on the
Global RPKI servers will be a major consideration.
To keep load on Global RPKI services from unnecessary peaks, it is
recommended that primary caches which load from the distributed
Global RPKI not do so all at the same times, e.g., on the hour.
Choose a random time, perhaps the ISP's AS number modulo 60 and
jitter the inter-fetch timing.
12. Error Codes
This section contains a preliminary list of error codes. The authors
expect additions to the list during development of the initial
implementations. There is an IANA registry where valid error codes
are listed; see Section 14. Errors which are considered fatal SHOULD
cause the session to be dropped.
0: Corrupt Data (fatal): The receiver believes the received PDU to
be corrupt in a manner not specified by other error codes.
1: Internal Error (fatal): The party reporting the error experienced
some kind of internal error unrelated to protocol operation (ran
out of memory, a coding assertion failed, et cetera).
2: No Data Available: The cache believes itself to be in good
working order, but is unable to answer either a Serial Query or a
Reset Query because it has no useful data available at this time.
This is likely to be a temporary error, and most likely indicates
that the cache has not yet completed pulling down an initial
current data set from the Global RPKI system after some kind of
event that invalidated whatever data it might have previously held
(reboot, network partition, et cetera).
3: Invalid Request (fatal): The cache server believes the client's
request to be invalid.
4: Unsupported Protocol Version (fatal): The Protocol Version is not
known by the receiver of the PDU.
5: Unsupported PDU Type (fatal): The PDU Type is not known by the
receiver of the PDU.
6: Withdrawal of Unknown Record (fatal): The received PDU has Flag=0
but a record for the {Prefix, Len, Max-Len, ASN} tuple does not
exist in the receiver's database.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
7: Duplicate Announcement Received (fatal): The received PDU has an
identical {Prefix, Len, Max-Len, ASN} tuple as a PDU which is
still active in the router.
13. Security Considerations
As this document describes a security protocol, many aspects of
security interest are described in the relevant sections. This
section points out issues which may not be obvious in other sections.
Cache Validation: In order for a collection of caches as described
in Section 11 to guarantee a consistent view, they need to be
given consistent trust anchors to use in their internal validation
process. Distribution of a consistent trust anchor is assumed to
be out of band.
Cache Peer Identification: The router initiates a transport session
to a cache, which it identifies by either IP address or fully
qualified domain name. Be aware that a DNS or address spoofing
attack could make the correct cache unreachable. No session would
be established, as the authorization keys would not match.
Transport Security: The RPKI relies on object, not server or
transport, trust. That is, the IANA root trust anchor is
distributed to all caches through some out-of-band means, and can
then be used by each cache to validate certificates and ROAs all
the way down the tree. The inter-cache relationships are based on
this object security model; hence, the inter-cache transport can
be lightly protected.
But, this protocol document assumes that the routers cannot do the
validation cryptography. Hence, the last link, from cache to
router, is secured by server authentication and transport-level
security. This is dangerous, as server authentication and
transport have very different threat models than object security.
So, the strength of the trust relationship and the transport
between the router(s) and the cache(s) are critical. You're
betting your routing on this.
While we cannot say the cache must be on the same LAN, if only due
to the issue of an enterprise wanting to off-load the cache task
to their upstream ISP(s), locality, trust, and control are very
critical issues here. The cache(s) really SHOULD be as close, in
the sense of controlled and protected (against DDoS, MITM)
transport, to the router(s) as possible. It also SHOULD be
topologically close so that a minimum of validated routing data
are needed to bootstrap a router's access to a cache.
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
The identity of the cache server SHOULD be verified and
authenticated by the router client, and vice versa, before any
data are exchanged.
Transports which cannot provide the necessary authentication and
integrity (see Section 9) must rely on network design and
operational controls to provide protection against spoofing/
corruption attacks. As pointed out in Section 9, TCP-AO is the
long-term plan. Protocols which provide integrity and
authenticity SHOULD be used, and if they cannot, i.e., TCP is used
as the transport, the router and cache MUST be on the same
trusted, controlled network.
14. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned "well-known" TCP Port Numbers to the RPKI-Router
Protocol for the following, see Section 9:
rpki-rtr
rpki-rtr-tls
IANA has created a registry for tuples of Protocol Version / PDU
Type, each of which may range from 0 to 255. The name of the
registry is "rpki-rtr-pdu". The policy for adding to the registry is
RFC Required per [RFC5226], either Standards Track or Experimental.
The initial entries are as follows:
Protocol PDU
Version Type Description
-------- ---- ---------------
0 0 Serial Notify
0 1 Serial Query
0 2 Reset Query
0 3 Cache Response
0 4 IPv4 Prefix
0 6 IPv6 Prefix
0 7 End of Data
0 8 Cache Reset
0 10 Error Report
0 255 Reserved
IANA has created a registry for Error Codes 0 to 255. The name of
the registry is "rpki-rtr-error". The policy for adding to the
registry is Expert Review per [RFC5226], where the responsible IESG
Area Director should appoint the Expert Reviewer. The initial
entries are as follows:
Bush & Austein Expires September 8, 2014 [Page 27]
Internet-Draft RPKI-Router Protocol March 2014
Error
Code Description
----- ----------------
0 Corrupt Data
1 Internal Error
2 No Data Available
3 Invalid Request
4 Unsupported Protocol Version
5 Unsupported PDU Type
6 Withdrawal of Unknown Record
7 Duplicate Announcement Received
255 Reserved
IANA has added an SSH Connection Protocol Subsystem Name, as defined
in [RFC4250], of "rpki-rtr".
