draft-chz-simple-cu-separation-bng-protocol-06
Abstract
A Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) in a fixed wireline access network
is an Ethernet-centric IP edge router and the aggregation point for
subscriber traffic. Control Plane (CP) and User Plane (UP) Separation
(CUPS) for such a BNG improves flexibility and scalability but
requires various communication between the UP and the CP. China
Mobile, Huawei Technologies, and ZTE have developed a simple CUPS
control channel Protocol (S-CUSP) to support such communication.
This document is not an IETF standard and does not have IETF
consensus. S-CUSP is presented here to make its specification
conveniently available to the Internet community to enable diagnosis
and interoperability.

INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
1. Introduction
A Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) in a fixed wireline access network
is an Ethernet-centric IP edge router, and the aggregation point for
subscriber traffic. To provide centralized session management,
flexible address allocation, high scalability for subscriber
management capacity, and cost-efficient redundancy, the Control/User
(CU) separated BNG framework is described in technical report
[TR-384] from the Broadband Forum (BBF). The CU separated service
Control Plane (CP), which is responsible for user access
authentication and setting forwarding entries in User Planes (UPs),
can be virtualized and centralized. The routing control and
forwarding plane, i.e., the BNG user plane (local), can be
distributed across the infrastructure. Other structures can also be
supported such as both CP and UP being virtual or both being
physical.
Note: In this document, the terms "user" and "subscriber" are used
interchangeably.
This document specifies the Simple CU Separation BNG control channel
Protocol (S-CUSP) for communications between a BNG Control Plane (CP)
and a set of User Planes (UPs). S-CUSP is designed to be flexible
and extensible so as to allow for easy addition of messages and data
items, should further requirements be expressed in the future.
This document is not an IETF standard and does not have IETF
consensus. S-CUSP was designed by China Mobile, Huawei Technologies,
and ZTE. It is presented here to make the S-CUSP specification
conveniently available to the Internet community to enable diagnosis
and interoperability.
At the time of writing this document, the Broadband Forum (BBF) is
working to produce [WT-459] that will describe an architecture and
requirements for a control and user plane separation of a
disaggregated BNG. Future work may attempt to show how the protocol
described in this document addresses those requirements and may
modify this specification to handle unaddressed requirements.

3. BNG CUPS Overview
3.1. BNG CUPS Motivation
The rapid development of new services, such as 4K TV, IoT, etc., and
increasing numbers of home broadband service users present some new
challenges for BNGs such as:
Low resource utilization: The traditional BNG acts as both a gateway
for user access authentication and accounting and an IP network's
Layer 3 edge. The mutually affecting nature of the tightly
coupled control plane and forwarding plane makes it difficult to
achieve the maximum performance of either plane.
Complex management and maintenance: Due to the large numbers of
traditional BNGs, configuring each device in a network is very
tedious when deploying global service policies. As the network
expands and new services are introduced, this deployment mode
will cease to be feasible as it is unable to manage services
effectively and rectify faults rapidly.
Slow service provisioning: The coupling of control plane and
forwarding plane, in addition to a distributed network control
mechanism, means that any new technology has to rely heavily on
the existing network devices.
The framework for a cloud-based BNG with Control Plane and User Plane
(CU) separation to address these challenges for fixed networks is
described in [TR-384]. The main idea of CU separation is to extract
and centralize the user management functions of multiple BNG devices,
forming a unified and centralized Control Plane (CP). And the
traditional router's Control Plane and Forwarding Plane are both
preserved on BNG devices in the form of a User Plane (UP).
3.2. BNG CUPS Architecture Overview
The functions in a traditional BNG can be divided into two parts: one
is the user access management function, the other is the router
function. The user management function can be deployed as a
centralized module or device, called the BNG Control Plane (BNG-CP).
The other functions, such as the router function and forwarding
engine, can be deployed in the form of the BNG User Plane (BNG-UP).

Figure 1: Architecture of CU Separated BNG
As shown in Figure 1, the BNG Control Plane could be virtualized and
centralized, which provides benefits such as centralized session
management, flexible address allocation, high scalability for
subscriber management capacity, and cost-efficient redundancy, etc.
The functional components inside the BNG Service Control Plane can be
implemented as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and hosted in a
Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI).
The User Plane Management module in the BNG Control Plane centrally
manages the distributed BNG User Planes (e.g., load balancing), as
well as the setup, deletion, and maintenance of channels between
Control Planes and User Planes. Other modules in the BNG control
plane, such as address management, AAA, etc., are responsible for the
connection with external subsystems in order to fulfill those
services. Note that the User Plane SHOULD support both physical and
virtual network functions. For example, BNG user plane L3 forwarding
Hu, et al [Page 11]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
related network functions can be disaggregated and distributed across
the physical infrastructure. And the other control plane and
management plane functions in the CU Separation BNG can be moved into
the NFVI for virtualization [TR-384].
The details of CU separated BNG's function components are as
following:
The Control Plane is responsible for the following:
1. Address management: unified address pool management and CGN
subscriber address traceability management.
2. AAA: This component performs Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting, together with RADIUS/DIAMETER. The BNG communicates
with the AAA server to check whether the subscriber who sent an
Access-Request has network access authority. Once the subscriber
goes online, this component together with the Service Control
component implement accounting, data capacity limitation, and QoS
enforcement policies.
3. Subscriber management: user entry management and forwarding
policy management.
4. Access management: process user dial-up packets, such as PPPoE,
DHCP, L2TP, etc.
5. UP management: management of UP interface status, and the setup,
deletion, and maintenance of channels between CP and UP.
The User Plane is responsible for the following:
1. Routing control functions: responsible for constructing routing
forwarding plane (e.g., routing, multicast, MPLS, etc.).
2. Routing and Service Forwarding plane functions: responsible
including traffic forwarding, QoS and traffic statistics
collection.
Subscriber detection: responsible for detecting whether a subscriber
is still online.
3.3. BNG CUPS Interfaces
Three interfaces defined below support the communication between the
Control Plane and User Plane. These are referred to as the Service
Interface (Si), Control Interface (Ci), and Management Interface (Mi)
as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Interfaces Between the CP and UP of the BNG
3.3.1. Service Interface
For a traditional BNG (without CU separation), the user dial-up
signals are terminated and processed by the control plane of a BNG.
When the CP and UP of a BNG are separated, there needs to be a way to
relay these signals between the CP and the UP.
The Service Interface (Si) is used to establish tunnels between the
CP and UP. The tunnels are responsible for relaying the PPPoE, IPoE,
and L2TP related control packets that are received from a Residential
Gateway (RG) over those tunnels. An appropriate tunnel type is VXLAN
[RFC7348].
The detailed definition of Si is out of scope for this document.
Hu, et al [Page 13]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
3.3.2. Control Interface
The CP uses the Control Interface to deliver subscriber session
states, network routing entries, etc. to the UP (see Section 6.2.7)).
The UP uses this interface to report subscriber service statistics,
subscriber detection results, etc. to the CP (see Sections 6.3 and
6.4). A carrying protocol for this interface is specified in this
document.
3.3.3. Management Interface
NETCONF [RFC6241] is the protocol used on the Management Interface
between a CP and UP. It is used to configure the parameters of the
Control Interface, Service Interface, the Access interfaces and
QoS/ACL Templates. It is expected that implementations will make use
of existing YANG models where possible, but that new YANG models
specific to S-CUSP will need to be defined. The definitions of the
parameters that can be configured are out of scope for this document.

Figure 3: BNG CUPS Procedures Overview
1. S-CUSP session establishment: This is the first step of BNG CUPS
procedures. Once the Control Interface parameters are configured
on a UP, it will start to setup S-CUSP sessions with the
specified CPs. The detailed definition of S-CUSP session
establishment can be found in Section 4.1.1.
2. Board and interface report: Once the S-CUSP session is
established between the UP and a CP, the UP will report status
information on the boards and subscriber-facing interfaces of
this UP to the CP. A board can also be called a Line/Service
Hu, et al [Page 15]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
Process Unit (LPU/SPU) card. The subscriber-facing interfaces
refer to the interfaces that connect the Access Network nodes
(e.g., OLT: Optical Line Terminal, DSLAM: Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer, etc.). The CP can use this information to
enable the Broadband Access Service (BAS) function (e.g., IPoE,
PPPoE, etc.) on the specified interfaces. See Sections 4.2.1 and
7.10 for more details on Resource reporting.
3. BAS (Broadband Access Service) function enable: To enable the BAS
function on the specified interfaces of a UP.
4. Subscriber network route advertisement: The CP will allocate one
or more IP address blocks to a UP. Each address block contains a
series of IP addresses. Those IP addresses will be allocated to
subscribers who are dialing up from the UP. To enable other nodes
in the network to learn how to reach the subscribers, the CP
needs to notify the UP to advertise to the network the routes
that can reach those IP addresses.
5. 5.1-5.6 is a complete call flow of a subscriber dial-up (as
defined in Section 2.1) process. When a UP receives a dial-up
request, it will relay the request packet to a CP through the
Service Interface. The CP will parse the request. If everything
is OK, it will send an authentication request to the AAA server
to authenticate the subscriber. Once the subscriber passes the
authentication, the AAA server will return a positive response to
the CP. Then the CP will send the dial-up response packet to the
UP, and the UP will forward the response packet to the subscriber
(RG). At the same time, the CP will create a subscriber session
on the UP, which enables the subscriber to access the network.
For different access types, the process may be a bit different.
But the high-level process is similar. For each access type, the
detail process can be found in Section 5.
6. 6.1-6.3 is the sequence when updating an existing subscriber
session. The AAA server initiates a Change of Authorization (CoA)
and sends the CoA to the CP. The CP will then update the session
according to the CoA. See Section 4.3.2 for more detail on CP
messages updating UP tables.
7. 7.1-7.5 is the sequence for deleting an existing subscriber
session. When a UP receives an offline request, it will relay the
request to a CP through the Service Interface. The CP will send
back a response to the UP through the Service Interface. The UP
will then forward the offline response to the subscriber. Then
the CP will delete the session on the UP through the Control
Interface.

4. S-CUSP Protocol Overview
4.1. Control Channel Related Procedures
4.1.1. S-CUSP Session Establishment
A UP is associated with a CP and is controlled by that CP. In the
case of a hot-standby or cold-standby, a UP is associated with two
CPs, one called the Master CP and the other called the Standby CP.
The association between a UP and its CPs is implemented by dynamic
configuration.
Once a UP knows its CPs, the UP starts to establish S-CUSP sessions
with those CPs, as shown in Figure 4.
UP CP
| |
| TCP Session Establishment |
|<------------------------------->|
| |
| HELLO (version, capability) |
|-------------------------------->|
| |
| HELLO (version, capability) |
|<--------------------------------|
| |
Figure 4: S-CUSP Session Establishment
The S-CUSP session establishment consists of two successive steps:
1. Establishment of a TCP [RFC793] connection (3-way handshake)
between the CP and the UP using a configured port from the
dynamic port range (49152-65535).
2. Establishment of an S-CUSP session over the TCP connection.
Once the TCP connection is established, the CP and the UP initialize
the S-CUSP session during which the version and Keepalive timers are
negotiated.
The version information (Hello TLV, see Section 7.4) is carried
within Hello messages (see Section 6.2.1). A CP can support multiple
versions, but a UP can only support one version. So, the version
negotiation is based on whether a version can be supported by both
the CP and the UP. For a CP or UP, if a Hello message is received
Hu, et al [Page 18]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
that does not indicate a version supported by both, a subsequent
Hello message with an Error Information TLV will be sent to the peer
to notify the peer of the "Version-Mismatch" error and the session
establishment phase fails.
Keepalive negotiation is performed by carrying a Keepalive TLV in the
Hello message. The Keepalive TLV includes a Keepalive timer and Dead
Timer field. The CP and UP have to agree on the Keepalive Timer and
Dead Timer. Otherwise, a subsequent Hello message with an Error
Information TLV will be sent to its peer and the session
establishment phase fails.
The S-CUSP session establishment phase fails if the CP or UP disagree
on the version and keepalive parameters or if one of the CP or UP
does not answer after the expiration of the Establishment timer.
When the S-CUSP session establishment fails, the TCP connection is
promptly closed. Successive retries are permitted, but an
implementation SHOULD make use of an exponential back-off session
establishment retry procedure.
The S-CUSP session timer values that need to be configured are
summarized in the table below.
Timer Range in Default
Name seconds Value
------------- ------- -------
Establishment Timer 1-32767 45
Keepalive Timer 0-255 30
DeadTimer 1-32767 4 * Keepalive
4.1.2. Keepalive Timer and DeadTimer
Once an S-CUSP session has been established, a UP or CP may want to
know that its S-CUSP peer is still connected.
Each end of an S-CUSP session runs a Keepalive timer. It restarts
the timer every time it sends a message on the session. When the
timer expires, it sends a Keepalive message. Thus, a message is
transmitted at least as often as the value the Keepalive timer is
reset to, unless, as explained below, that value is the special value
zero.
Each end of a S-CUSP session also run a DeadTimer, and restarts that
DeadTimer whenever a message is received on the session. If the
DeadTimer at an end of the session expires, that end declares the
session dead and the session will be closed, unless their DeadTimer
is set to the special value zero in which case the session will not
time out.
Hu, et al [Page 19]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
The minimum value of the Keepalive timer is 1 second, and it is
specified in units of 1 second. The RECOMMENDED default value is 30
seconds. The recommended default for the DeadTimer is four times the
value of the Keepalive timer used by the remote peer. As above, the
timers may be disabled by setting them to zero.
The Keepalive timer and DeadTimer are negotiated through the
Keepalive TLV carried in the Hello Message.
4.2. Node Related Procedures
4.2.1. UP Resource Report
Once an S-CUSP session has been established between a CP and an UP,
the UP reports the state information of the Boards and access-facing
interfaces on the UP to the CP, as shown in Figure 5. Report messages
are unacknowledged and are assumed to be delivered because the
session runs over TCP.
The CP can use that information to activate/enable the Broadband
Access Service (BAS) functions (e.g., IPoE, PPPoE, etc.) on the
specified interfaces.
In addition, the UP resource report may trigger a UP warm-standby
process. In the case of warm-standby, a failure on a UP may trigger
the CP to start a warm-standby process, by moving the on-line
subscriber sessions to a standby UP and then direct the affected
subscribers to access the Internet through the standby UP.

| |
| Report Board Status |
|------to CP via Ci----->|

| Report Interface Status|

| |
Figure 5: UP Board and Interface Report
Board status information is carried in the Board Status TLV (Section
7.10.2) and Interface status information is carried in Interface
Status TLV (Section 7.10.1). Both Board and Interface Status TLVs are
carried in the Report Message (Section 6.4).
Hu, et al [Page 20]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
4.2.2. Update BAS Function on Access Interface
Once the CP collects the interface status of a UP, it will
activate/de-activate/modify the BAS functions on specified interfaces
through the Update_Request and Update_Response message (Section 6.2)
exchanges, carrying the BAS Function TLV (Section 7.7).

| Update BAS function |
| Request |
|<-----on UP via Ci-------|
| |
| Update BAS function |
| Response |
|------on UP via Ci------>|
| |
Figure 6: Update BAS Function
4.2.3. Update Network Routing
The CP will allocate one or more address blocks to a UP. Each address
block contains a series of IP addresses. Those IP addresses will be
assigned to subscribers who are dialing up to the UP. To enable the
other nodes in the network to learn how to reach the subscribers, the
CP needs to install the routes on the UP and notify the UP to
advertise the routes to the network.

IPv4/IPv6 Routing Information TLVs (Section 7.8), update the
subscriber's network routing information.
Hu, et al [Page 21]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
4.2.4. CGN Public IP Address Allocation
The following sequences describe the CGN address management related
procedures. Three independent procedures are defined, one each for
CGN address allocation request/response, CGN address renewal
request/response, and CGN address release request/response.
CGN address allocation/renew/release procedures are designed for the
case where the CGN function is running on the UP. The UP has to map
the subscriber private IP addresses to a public IP addresses, and
such mapping is performed by the UP locally when a subscriber dials-
up. That means the UP has to ask for public IPv4 address blocks for
CGN subscribers from the CP.
In addition, when a public IP address is allocated to a UP, there
will be a lease time (e.g., one day). Before the lease time expires,
the UP can ask for renewal of the IP address lease from the CP. It is
achieved by the exchange of the Addr_Renew_Req and Addr_Renew_Ack
messages.
If the public IP address will not be used anymore, the UP SHOULD
release the address by sending an Addr_Release_Req message to the CP.
If the CP wishes to withdraw addresses that it has previously leased
to a UP, it uses the same procedures as above. The "Oper" code in
the IPv4/IPv6 Routing TLV (see Section 7.1) determines whether the
request is an update or withdraw.
The relevant messages are defined in Section 6.5.

4.2.5. Data Synchronization between the CP and UP
For a CU separated BNG, the UP will continue to function using the
state that has been installed in it even if the CP fails or the
session between the UP and CP fails.
Under some circumstances, it is necessary to synchronize state
between the CP and UP, for example if a CP fails and the UP is
switched to a different CP.
Synchronization includes two directions. One direction is from UP to
CP; in that case, the synchronization information is mainly about the
board/interface status of the UP. The other direction is from CP to
UP; in that case, the subscriber sessions, subscriber network routes,
L2TP tunnels, etc. will be synchronized to the UP.
The synchronization is triggered by a Sync_Request message, to which
the receiver will (1) reply with a Sync_Begin message to notify the
requester that synchronization will begin, and (2) then start the
synchronization using the Sync_Data message. When synchronization
finished, a Sync_End message will be sent.

4.3. Subscriber Session Related Procedures
A subscriber session consists of a set of forwarding states,
policies, and security rules that are applied to the subscriber. It
is used for forwarding subscriber traffic in a UP. To initialize a
session on a UP, A collection of hardware resources (e.g., NP, TCAM
etc.) have to be allocated to a session on a UP as part of its
initiation.
Hu, et al [Page 24]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
Subscriber session related procedures include subscriber session
create, update, delete, and statistics report. The following sub-
sections give a high-level view of the procedures.
4.3.1. Create Subscriber Session
The below sequence describes the DHCP IPv4 dial-up process. It is an
example that shows how a subscriber session is created. (An example
for IPv6 appears in Section 5.1.2.)
RG UP CP AAA

|Online Response| | |
12|<--------------| | |
| | | |
Figure 10: Subscriber Session Create
The request starts from an Online Request message (step 1) from the
RG (for example, a DHCP Discovery packet). When the UP receives the
Online Request from the RG, it will tunnel the Online Request to the
CP through the Service Interface (Step 2). A tunneling technology
implements the Service Interface.
When the CP receives the Online Request from the UP, it will send an
authentication request to the AAA server to authenticate and
authorize the subscriber (step 3). When a positive reply is received
from the AAA server, the CP starts to create a subscriber session for
Hu, et al [Page 25]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
the request. Relevant resources (e.g., IP address, bandwidth, etc.)
will be allocated to the subscriber. Policies and security rules will
be generated for the subscriber. Then the CP sends a request to
create a session to the UP through the Control Interface (Ci) (step
4), and a response is expected from the UP to confirm the creation
(step 5).
Finally, the CP will notify the AAA server to start accounting (step
6). At the same time, an Online Response message (for example, a
DHCP Ack packet) will be sent to the UP through the Si (step 7). And
the UP will forward the Online Response to the RG (step 8).
That completes the subscriber activation process.
4.3.2. Update Subscriber Session
The following numbered sequence shows the process of updating the
subscriber session.
UP CP AAA
| | COA Request |
| 1|<--------------|
| Session update Request | |

| | |
| Session update Response| |
3|---------via Ci-------->| |

| 4|-------------->|
| | |
Figure 11: Subscriber Session Update
When a subscriber session has been created on a UP, there may be
requirements to update the session with new parameters (e.g.,
Bandwidth, QoS, policies, etc.).
This procedure is triggered by a Change of Authorization (COA)
request message sent by the AAA server. The CP will update the
session on the UP according to the new parameters through the Control
Interface.

4.3.3. Delete Subscriber Session

request.

| | Relay the Offline |

| | |
Figure 12: Subscriber Session Delete
Similar to the session creation process, when a UP receives an
offline request from an RG, it will tunnel the request to a CP
through the Si.
When the CP receives the offline request, it will withdraw/release
the resources (e.g., IP address, bandwidth) that have been allocated
to the subscriber. Then, it sends a reply to the UP through the
Service Interface and the UP will forward the reply to the RG. At
the same time, it will delete all the status of the session on the UP
through the Ci.

Figure 14: DHCPv4 Access
The S-CUSP protocol implements steps 8 and 9.
After a subscriber is authenticated and authorized by the AAA server,
the CP creates a new subscriber session on the UP. This is achieved
by sending an Update_Request message to the UP.
The format of the Update_Request message is shown as follows using
RBNF:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>

Figure 15: DHCPv6 Access
Steps 1-7 are a standard DHCP IPv6 access process. The subscriber
creation is triggered by a DHCP IPv6 request message. When this
message is received, it means that the subscriber has passed the AAA
authentication and authorization. Then the CP will create a
subscriber session on the UP. This is achieved by sending an
Update_Request message to the UP (Step 8).
The format of the Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message (Step 9). The

Figure 19: L2 Static Subscriber Access
For L2 static subscriber access, the process starts with a CP
installing a static subscriber detection list on a UP. The list
determines which subscribers will be detected. That is implemented
by exchanging Update_Request and Update_Response messages between CP
and UP. The format of the messages are as follows:
Hu, et al [Page 38]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<IPv4 Static Subscriber Detect TLVs>
<IPv6 Static Subscriber Detect TLVs>
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
For L2 Static subscriber access, there are three ways to trigger the
access process:
1. Triggered by UP (3.1-3.6): This assumes that the UP knows the IP
address, the access interface, and VLAN of the RG. The UP will
actively trigger the access flow by sending an ARP/ND packet to
the RG. If the RG is online, it will reply with an ARP/ND to the
UP. The UP will tunnel the ARP/ND to the CP through the Si. The
CP then triggers the authentication process. If the
authentication result is positive. The CP will create a
corresponding subscriber session on the UP.
2. Triggered by RG ARP/ND (4.1-4.6): Most of the process is same as
option 1 (triggered by UP). The difference is that the RG will
actively send the ARP/ND to trigger the process.
3. Triggered by RG IP traffic (5.1-5.7): This is for the case where
the RG has the ARP/ND information, but the subscriber session on
the UP is lost (e.g., due to failure on the UP, or the UP
restarted). That means the RG may keep sending IP packets to the
UP. The packets will trigger the UP to start a new access
process.
From a subscriber session point of view, the procedures and the
message formats for the above three cases are the same, as follows:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

From the above sequence, step 1-4 are the standard PPPoE call flow.
The UP is responsible for redirecting the PPPoE control packets to
the CP or RG. The PPPoE control packets are transmitted between the
CP and UP through the Si.
After the PPPoE call flow, if the subscriber passed the AAA
authentication and authorization, the CP will create a corresponding
session on the UP through the Ci. The formats of the messages are as
follows:

Figure 21: IPv6 PPPoE Access
From the above sequence, steps 1-4 are the standard PPPoE call flow.
The UP is responsible for redirecting the PPPoE control packets to
the CP or RG. The PPPoE control packets are transmitted between the
CP and UP through the Si.
After the PPPoE call flow, if the subscriber passed the AAA
authentication and authorization, the CP will create a corresponding
session on the UP through the Ci. The formats of the messages are as
follows:

<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

Then, the RG will initialize an ND/DHCPv6 negotiation process with
the CP (see step 7 and 7'), after that, it will trigger an update
(8-9, 8'-9') to the subscriber session. The formats of the update
messages are as follows:

(steps 1-2). This is achieved by the following message exchanges
between CP and UP.
<Addr_Allocation_Req Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Request Address Allocation TLV>
<Addr_Allocation_Ack Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Address Assignment Response TLV>
Steps 3-9 show the general dial-up process in the case of CGN mode.
The specific processes (e.g., IPoE, PPPoE, L2TP, etc.) are defined in
above sections.
If a subscriber is a CGN subscriber, once the subscriber session is
created/updated, the UP will report the NAT information to the CP.
This is achieved by carrying the "Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV" in
the Update_Response message.

In this case, IP traffic from the RG will trigger the CP to
authenticate the RG by checking the source IP and the exchanges with
the AAA server. Once the RG passed the authentication, the CP will
create a corresponding subscriber session on the UP through the
following message exchanges:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]

Then, the HTTP traffic from the RG will be redirected to a WEB server
to finish the WEB authentication. Once the WEB authentication is
passed, the CP will trigger another AAA authentication. After the
AAA authentication, the CP will update the session with the following
message exchanges:

In this user traffic triggered case, the CP must install an access
control list on the UP, which is used by the UP to determine whether
an RG is legal or not. If the traffic is from a legal RG, it will be
redirected to the CP though the Si. The CP will trigger a AAA
interchange with the AAA server. After that, the CP will create a
corresponding subscriber session on the UP with the following message

6. S-CUSP Message Formats
An S-CUSP message consists of a common header followed by a variable-
length body consisting entirely of TLVs. Receiving an S-CUSP message
with an unknown message type or missing mandatory TLV MUST trigger an
Error message (see Section 6.7) or a response message with an Error
Information TLV (see Section 7.6).
Conversely, if a TLV is optional, the TLV may or may not be present.
Optional TLVs are indicated in the message formats shown in this
document by being enclosed in square brackets.
This section specifies the format of the common S-CUSP message header
and lists the defined messages.
Network byte order is used for all multi-byte fields.
6.1. Common Message Header
S-CUSP Common Message Header:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Reserved | Transaction-ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 6.1: S-CUSP Message Common Header
o Ver (4 bits): The major version of the protocol. This document
specifies version 1. Different major versions of the protocol
may have significantly different message structure and format
except that the Ver field will always be in the same place at
the beginning of each message. A successful S-CUSP session
depends on the CP and the UP both using the same major version
of the protocol.
o Resv (4 bits): Reserved. MUST be sent as zero and ignored on
receipt.
o Message-Type (8 bits): The set of message types specified in
this document is listed in Section 9.1.
o Message-Length (16 bits): Total length of the S-CUSP message
including the common header, expressed in number of bytes as an
unsigned integer.
Hu, et al [Page 61]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
o Transaction ID (16 bits): This field is used to identify
requests. It is echoed back in any corresponding
ACK/Response/Error message. It is RECOMMENDED that a
monotonically increasing value be used in successive message
and that value wrap back to zero after 0xFFFF. The contents of
this field is an opaque value that the receiver MUST NOT use
for any purpose except to echo back in a corresponding response
and, optionally, for logging.
6.2. Control Messages
This document defines the following control messages:
Type Name Notes and TLVs that can be carried
---- ---- ------------------------------------
1 Hello Hello TLV, Keepalive TLV.
2 Keepalive A common header with the Keepalive message
type.
3 Sync_Request Synchronization request.
4 Sync_Begin Synchronization starts.
5 Sync_Data Synchronization data: TLVs specified in
Section 5.
6 Sync_End End synchronization.
7 Update_Request TLVs specified in Sections 7.6-7.9.
8 Update_Response TLVs specified in Sections 7.6-7.9.
6.2.1. Hello Message
Hello message is used for S-CUSP session establishment and version
negotiation. The detail of S-CUSP session establishment and version
negotiation can be found in Section 4.1.1.
The format of Hello message is as follows:
<Hello Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Hello TLV>
<Keepalive TLV>
[<Error Information TLV>]
Hu, et al [Page 62]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
The return code and negotiation result will be carried in the Error
Information TLV. They are listed as follows:
0: Success, version negotiation success.
1: Failure, malformed message received.
2: One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
1001: The version negotiation fails. The S-CUSP session
establishment phase fails.
1002: The keepalive negotiation fails. The S-CUSP session
establishment phase fails.
1003: The establishment timer expires. session establishment
phase fails.
6.2.2. Keepalive Message
Each end of an S-CUSP session periodically sends a Keepalive message.
It is used to detect whether the peer end is still alive. The
Keepalive procedures are defined in Section 4.1.2.
The format of the Keepalive message is as follows:
<Keepalive Message> ::= <Common Header>
6.2.3. Sync_Request Message
The Sync_Request message is used to request synchronization from an
S-CUSP peer. Both CP and UP can request their peer to synchronize
data.
The format of the Sync_Request message is as follows:
<Sync_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
A Sync_Request message may result in a Sync_Begin message from its
peer. The Sync_Begin message is defined in Section 6.2.4.
Hu, et al [Page 63]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
6.2.4. Sync_Begin Message
The Sync_Begin message is a reply to a Sync_Request message. It is
used to notify the synchronization requester whether the
synchronization can be started.
The format of Sync_Begin message is as follows:
<Sync_Begin Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Error Information TLV>
The return codes are carried in the Error Information TLV. The codes
are listed below:
0: Success, be ready to synchronize.
1: Failure, malformed message received.
2: One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
2001: Synch-NoReady. The data to be synchronized is not ready.
2002: Synch-Unsupport. The data synchronization is not supported.
6.2.5. Sync_Data Message
The Sync_Data message is used to send data being synchronized between
the CP and UP. The Sync_Data message has the same function and
format as the Update_Request message. The difference is that there
is no ACK for a Sync_Data message. An error caused by the Sync_Data
message will result in a Sync_End message.
There are two scenarios:
Synchronization from UP to CP: Synchronize the resource data to
CP.
<Sync_Data Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Resource Reporting TLVs>]
Synchronization from CP to UP: Synchronize all subscriber sessions
to UP. As for which TLVs should be carried, it depends on the
specific session data to be synchronized. The process is
equivalent to the creation of a particular session. Refer to
Section 5 to see more details.
<Sync_Data Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<User Routing TLVs>]
Hu, et al [Page 64]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
[<User Information TLVs>]
[<L2TP Subscriber TLVs>]
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
6.2.6. Sync_End Message
The Sync_End message is used to indicate the end of a synchronization
process. The format of a Sync_End message is as follows:
<Sync_End Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Error Information TLV>
The return/error codes are listed as follows:
0: Success, synchronization finished.
1: Failure, malformed message received.
2: One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
6.2.7. Update_Request Message
The Update_Request message is a multi-purpose message, it can be used
to create, update, and delete subscriber sessions on a UP.
For session operations, the specific operation is controlled by the
"Oper" field of the carried TLVs. As defined in Section 7.1, the
"Oper" can be set to either "Update" or "Delete" when a TLV is
carried in an Update_Request message.
When the "Oper" set to Update, it means to create or update a
subscriber session. If the "Oper" set to Delete, it is a request to
delete a corresponding session.
The format of Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<User Routing TLVs>]
[<User Information TLVs>]
[<L2TP Subscriber TLVs>]
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
Each Update_Request message will result in an Update_Response message
that is defined in Section 6.2.8.
Hu, et al [Page 65]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
6.2.8. Update_Response Message
The Update_Response message is a response to an Update_Request
message. It is used to confirm the update request (or reject it in
the case of an error). The format of an Update_Response message is
as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
<Error Information TLV>
The return/error codes are carried in the Error Information TLV.
They are listed as follows:
0: Success.
1: Failure, malformed message received.
2: One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
3001(Pool-Mismatch): The corresponding address pool cannot be
found.
3002 (Pool-Full): The address pool is fully allocated and no
address segment is available.
3003 (Subnet-Mismatch): The address pool subnet cannot be found.
3004 (Subnet-Conflict): Subnets in the address pool have been
classified into other clients.
4001 (Update-Fail-No-Res): The forwarding table fails to be
delivered because the forwarding resources are insufficient.
4002 (QoS-Update-Success): The QoS policy takes effect.
4003 (QoS-Update-Sq-Fail): Failed to process the queue in the QoS
policy.
4004 (QoS-Update-CAR-Fail): Processing of the CAR in the QoS
policy fails.
4005 (Statistic-Fail-No-Res): Statistics processing failed due to
insufficient statistics resources.

Reserved as specified in Section 9.3. For all other Message-Types,
the Oper field MUST be sent as zero and ignored on receipt.
o TLV-Type (12 bits): The Type of a TLV. TLV-Type specifies the
interpretation and format of the Value field of the TLV. See
Section 9.2.
o TLV-Length (2 bytes): The length of the Value portion of the TLV
in bytes as an unsigned integer.
o Value (variable length): This is the value portion of the TLV
whose size is given by TLV-Length. The value portion consists of
fields, frequently using one of the basic data field types (see
Section 7.2) and sub-TLVs (see Section 7.3).

INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
7.2. Basic Data Fields
This section specifies the binary format of several standard basic
data fields that are used within other data structures in this
specification.
o STRING: 0 to 255 octets. Will be encoded as a sub-TLV (see Section
7.3) to provide the length. The use of this data type in S-CUSP is
to provide convenient labels for use by network operators in
configuring and debugging their networks and interpreting S-CUSP
messages. Subscribers will not normally see these labels. They
are normally interpreted as ASCII [RFC20].
o MAC-Addr: 6 octets. Ethernet MAC Address [RFC7042].
o IPv4-Address: 8 octets. 4 octets of the IPv4 address value
followed by a 4 octet address mask in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
o IPv6-Address: 20 octets. 16 octets of IPv6 address followed by a 4
octet integer n in the range of 0 to 128 which gives the address
mask as the one's complement of 2**(128-n) - 1.
o VLAN ID: 2 octets. As follows [802.1Q]:
0 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

index" or "out-if-index" field. The If-Desc sub-TLV is used as a
locally unique identifier within a BNG.
The sub-TLV type is 11. The sub-TLV length is 12 octets. The format
depends on the If-Type. The format of the value part is as follows:

7.3.6. Vendor sub-TLV
The Vendor sub-TLV is intended to be used inside the value portion of
the Vendor TLV (Section 7.13). It provides a Sub-Type that
effectively extends the sub-TLV type in the sub-TLV header and
provides for versioning of vendor sub-TLVs.
The value part of the Vendor sub-TLV is formatted as follows:

Where:
The sub-TLV type: 13.
The sub-TLV length: variable.
Vendor-ID (4 bytes): Vendor ID as defined in RADIUS [RFC2865].
Sub-Type (2 bytes): Used by the Vendor to distinguish multiple
different sub-TLVs.
Sub-Type-Version (2 bytes): Used by the Vendor to distinguish
different versions of a Vendor-Defined sub-TLV sub-Type.
value: as specified by the vendor.
Since Vendor code will be handling the sub-TLV after the Vendor ID
field is recognized, the remainder of the sub-TLV can be organized
however the vendor wants. But it desirable for a vendor to be able to
define multiple different vendor sub-TLVs and to keep track of
different versions of its vendor-defined sub-TLVs. Thus, it is
RECOMMENDED that the vendor assign a Sub-Type value for each of that
vendor's sub-TLVs that is different from other Sub-Type values that
vendor has used. Also, when modifying a vendor-defined sub-TLV in a
way potentially incompatible with a previous definition, the vendor
SHOULD increase the value it is using in the Sub-Type-Version field.
7.4. The Hello TLV
The Hello TLV is defined to be carried in the Hello message for
version and capabilities negotiation. It indicates the S-CUSP sub-
version and capabilities supported. The format of Hello TLV is as
follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Figure 39: Hello TLV
Where:
Hu, et al [Page 77]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
The TLV type is 100.
The TLV length is 12 octets.
The value field consists of three parts:
VerSupported: 32 bits in length. It is a bit map of the Sub-
Versions of the S-CUSP protocol that the sender supports. This
document specifies Sub-Version zero of Major Version 1, that
is, Version 1.0. The VerSupported field MUST be non-zero. The
VerSupported bits are numbered from 0 as the most significant
bit. Bit 0 indicates support of Sub-Version zero, bit 1
indicates support of Sub-Version one, etc.
Vendor-ID: 4 bytes in length. Vendor ID, as defined in RADIUS
[RFC2865].
Capabilities: 32 bits in length. Flags that indicate the
support of particular capabilities by the sender of the Hello.
No Capabilities are defined in this document, so
implementations of the version specified herein will set this
field to zero. The Capabilities field of the Hello TLV MUST be
checked before any other TLVs in the Hello because capabilities
defined in the future might extend existing TLVs or permit new
TLVs.
After the exchange of Hello messages, the CP and UP each perform a
logical AND of the Sub-Version supported by the CP and the UP and
separately perform a logical AND of the Capabilities bits fields for
the CP and the UP.
If the result of the AND of the Sub-Versions supported is zero, then
no session can be established and the connection is torn down. If the
result of the AND of the Sub-Versions supported is non-zero, then the
session uses the highest Sub-Version supported by both the CP and UP.
For example, if one side supports Sub-Versions 1, 3, 4, and 5
(VerSupported = 0x5C000000) and the other side supports 2, 3, and 4
(VerSupported = 0x38000000), then 3 and 4 are the Sub-Versions in
common and 4 is the highest Sub-Version supported by both sides. So
Sub-Version 4 is used for the session that has been negotiated.
The result of the logical AND of the Capabilities bits will show what
additional capabilities both sides support. If this result is zero,
there are no such capabilities so none can be used during the
session. If this result is non-zero, it shows the additional
capabilities that can be used during the session. The CP and the UP
MUST NOT use a capability unless both advertise support.

7.5. The Keepalive TLV
The Keepalive TLV is carried in the Hello message. It provides
timing information for this feature. The format of Hello TLV is as
follows:

Where:
The TLV type: 102.
The value of the Length field is 4 octets.
Keepalive (8 bits): Indicates the maximum interval (in seconds)
between two consecutive S-CUSP messages sent by the sender of the
message containing this TLV as an unsigned integer. The minimum
value for the Keepalive field is 1 second. When set to 0, once the
session is established, no further Keepalive messages are sent to
the remote peer. A RECOMMENDED value for the Keepalive frequency
is 30 seconds.
DeadTimer (8 bits in length): Specifies the amount of time as an
unsigned integer number of seconds after the expiration of which
the S-CUSP peer can declare the session with the sender of the
Hello message to be down if no S-CUSP message has been received.
The DeadTimer SHOULD be set to 0 and MUST be ignored if the
Keepalive is set to 0. A RECOMMENDED value for the DeadTimer is 4
times the value of the Keepalive.
The Reserved bits MUST be sent as zero and ignored on receipt.

7.8. Routing TLVs
Typically, after an S-CUSP session is established between a UP and a
CP, the CP will allocate one or more blocks of IP addresses to the
UP. Those IP addresses will be allocated to subscribers who will

dial-up (as defined in Section 2.1) to the UP. To make sure that
other nodes within the network learn how to reach those IP addresses,
the CP needs to install one or more routes that can reach those IP
addresses on the UP and notify the UP to advertise the routes to the
network.
The Routing TLVs are used by a CP to notify a UP of the updates to
network routing information. They can be carried in the
Update_Request message and Sync_Data message.

7.12.2. Subscriber Detection Result TLV
The Subscriber Detection Result TLV is used to return the detection
result of a subscriber. Subscriber detection is a function to detect
whether a subscriber is online or not. The result can be used by the
CP to determine how to deal with the subscriber session. (e.g.,
delete the session if detection failed).

7.13. Vendor TLV
The Vendor ID TLV occurs as the first TLV in the Vendor message
(Section 6.6). It provides a Sub-Type that effectively extends the
message type in the message header, provides for versioning of vendor
TLVs, and can accommodate sub-TLVs.
Hu, et al [Page 111]

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 69: Vendor TLV
Where:
The TLV type: 1024.
The TLV length is variable.
Vendor-ID (4 bytes): Vendor ID ass defined in RADIUS [RFC2865].
Sub-Type (2 bytes): Used by the Vendor to distinguish multiple
different vendor messages.
Sub-Type-Version (2 bytes): Used by the Vendor to distinguish
different versions of a Vendor-Defined message sub-type.
Sub-TLVs (variable): Sub-TLVs as specified by the vendor.
Since Vendor code will be handling the TLV after the Vendor ID field
is recognized, the remainder of the TLV value can be organized
however the vendor wants. But it is desirable for a vendor to be able
to define multiple different vendor messages and to keep track of
different versions of its vendor-defined messages. Thus, it is
RECOMMENDED that the vendor assign a Sub-Type value for each vendor
message that it defines different from other Sub-Type values that
vendor has used. Also, when modifying a vendor-defined message in a
way potentially incompatible with a previous definition, the vendor
SHOULD increase the value it is using in the Sub-Type-Version field.

10. IANA Considerations
This document requires no IANA actions.
Hu, et al [Page 123]
INTERNET-DRAFT Simple BNG CUSP
11. Security Considerations
The Service, Control, and Management Interfaces between the CP and UP
might be across the general Internet or other hostile environment.
The ability of an adversary to block or corrupt messages or introduce
spurious messages on any one or more of these interfaces would give
the adversary the ability to stop subscribers from accessing network
services, disrupt existing subscriber sessions, divert traffic, mess
up accounting statistics, and generally cause havoc. Damage would not
necessarily be limited to one or a few subscribers but could disrupt
routing or deny service to one or more instances of the CP or
otherwise cause extensive interference. If the adversary knows the
details of the UP equipment and its forwarding rule capabilities, the
adversary may be able to cause a copy of most or all user data to be
sent to an address of the adversary's choosing, thus enabling
eavesdropping.
Thus, appropriate protections MUST be implemented to provide
integrity, authenticity, and secrecy of traffic over those
interfaces. Whether such protection is used is a network operator
decision. See [RFC6241] for Management Interface / NETCONF security.
Security on the Service Interface is dependent on the tunneling
protocol used which is out of scope for this document. Security for
the Control Interface, over which the S-CUSP protocol flows, is
further discussed below.
S-CUSP messages do not provide security. Thus, if these messages are
exchanged in an environment where security is a concern, that
security MUST be provided by another protocol such as TLS 1.3
[RFC8446] or IPSEC. TLS 1.3 is the mandatory to implement protocol
for interoperability. The use of a particular security protocol on
the Control Interface is determined by configuration. Such security
protocols need not always be used and lesser security precautions
might be appropriate because, in some cases, the communication
between the CP and UP is in a benign environment.
