Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
1. Introduction
Mapping of Address and Port (MAP) defined in [I-D.ietf-softwire-map]
is a mechanism for providing IPv4 connectivity service to end users
over a service provider's IPv6 network, allowing for shared or
dedicated IPv4 addressing. It consists of a set of one or more MAP
Border Relay (BR) routers, responsible for stateless forwarding, and
one or more MAP Customer Edge (CE) routers, that collectively form a
MAP Domain when configured with common MAP rule-sets. In a
residential broadband deployment the CE is sometimes referred to as a
Residential Gateway (RG) or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
A typical MAP CE will serve its end-user with one WAN side interface
connected to an operator domain providing a MAP service. To function
in the MAP domain, the CE requires to be provisioned with the
appropiate MAP service paramaters for that domain. Particularly in
larger networks it is not feasible to configure such parameters
manually, which forms the requirement for a dynamic MAP provisioning
mechanism that is defined in this document based on the existing
DHCPv6 [RFC3315] protocol. The configuration of the MAP BR is
outside of scope of this document.
This document specifies the DHCPv6 options that allow MAP CE
provisioning, based on the definitions of parameters provided in
[I-D.ietf-softwire-map], and is applicable to both MAP-E and MAP-T
transport variants. The definition of DHCPv6 options for MAP CE
provisioning does not preclude the definition of other dynamic
methods for configuring MAP devices, or supplementing such
configuration, nor is the use of DHCPv6 provisioning mandatory for
MAP operation.
Since specification of MAP architecture is still expected to evolve,
DHCPv6 options may have to evolve too to fit the revised MAP
specification.
Described proposal is not a dynamic port allocation mechanism.
Readers interested in deployment considerations are encouraged to
read [I-D.mdt-softwire-map-deployment].
2. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
3. MAP Information
The following presents the information parameters that are used to
configure a MAP CE:
o A Default Mapping Rule (DMR). This rule governs the default
forwarding/mapping behaviour of the MAP CE, ie it informs the CE
of the BR router's address or prefix that is typically used as a
default. The DMR is a mandatory parameter for a MAP CE.
o A Basic Mapping Rule (BMR). This rule governs the MAP
configuration of the CE, including that of completing the CE's MAP
IPv6 address, as well as deriving the CEs IPv4 parameters. Key
parameters of a BMR include: i) The IPv4 Prefix - Used to derive
the CE's IPv4 address; ii) The Embedded Address bit length - Used
to derive how many, if any, of the CE's IPv6 address is mapped to
the IPv4 address. iii) The IPv6 prefix - used to determine the
CE's IPv6 MAP domain prefix that is to form the base for the CE's
MAP address. The BMR is an optional rule for a MAP CE.
o A Forward Mapping Rule (FMR). This rule governs the MAP CE-CE
forwarding behaviour for IPv4 destinations covered by the rule.
The FMR is effectively a special type of an BMR, given that it
shares exactly the same configuration parameters, except that
these parameters are only applied for setting up forwarding. Its
presence enables a given CE to communicate directly in "mesh mode"
with other CEs. The FMR is an optional rule, and the absence of
such a rule indicates that the CE is to simply use its default
mapping rule for all destinations.
o Transport mode; encapsulation (MAP-E) or translation (MAP-T) modes
to be used for the MAP CE Domain.
o Additional parameters. The MAP specification allows great
flexibility in the level of automation a CE uses to derive its
IPv4 address and port-sharing (PSID), ranging from full derivation
of these parameters from the CE's IPv6 prefix, to full
parametrization of MAP configuration independent of the CE's IPv6
prefix. Optional parameters such as the PSID allow this
flexibility.
4. DHCPv6 MAP Options Format
The DHCPv6 protocol is used for MAP CE provisioning following regular
DHCPv6 notions, with the MAP CE assuming a DHCPv6 client role, and
the MAP parameters provided by the DHCPv6 server following server
side policies. The format and usage of the MAP options is defined in
the following sections.
Discussion: As the exact parameters required to configure MAP rules
and MAP in general are expected to change, this section is expected
Mrugalski, et al. Expires January 5, 2013 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
to be updated and follow change in the [I-D.ietf-softwire-map].
Discussion: It should be noted that initial concept of 4rd/MAP
provisioning was presented in DHC working group meeting. It used one
complex option to convey all required parameters. Strong suggestion
from DHC WG was to use several simpler options. Options (possibly
nested) are preferred over conditional option formatting. See DHCP
option guidelines document [I-D.ietf-dhc-option-guidelines]).
Server that supports MAP configuration and is configured to provision
requesting CE MUST include exactly one OPTION_MAP option in a REPLY
message for each MAP domain. It is envisaged that in typical
network, there will be only one MAP domain deployed.
4.1. MAP Option
This MAP Option specifies the container option used to group all
rules for a specified MAP domain.

The sub options field encapsulates those options that are specific to
this MAP Option. For example, all of the MAP Rule Options are in the
sub-options field. A DHCP message may contain multiple MAP Options.
The Format of the MAP Option Flags field is:

It was suggested to also provision information whether MAP network is
working in hub and spoke or mesh mode. That is not necessary, as
mesh mode is assumed when there is at least one FMR present.
4.2. MAP Rule Option
Figure X shows the format of the MAP Rule option used for conveying
the BMR and FMR.
Server includes one or more MAP Rule Options in MAP Flags option.
Server MAY send more than one MAP Rule Option, if it is configured to
do so. Clients MUST NOT send MAP Rule Option.

o prefix6-len: 8 bits long field expressing the bit mask length of
the IPv6 prefix specified in the rule-ipv6-prefix field.
o ea-len: 8-bits long field that specifies the Embedded-Address (EA)
bit length. Values allowed range from 0 to 48.

rule. The meaning of specific bits is explained in Figure 4.
o rule-ipv4-prefix: a 32 bit fixed length field that specifies the
IPv4 prefix for the MAP rule.
o rule-ipv6-prefix: a variable length field that specifies the IPv6
domain prefix for the MAP rule. The field is padded with zeros up
to the nearest octet boundary when prefix6-len is not divisible by
8.
o rule sub-options: a variable field that may contain zero or more
options that specify additional parameters for this MAP BMR/FMR
rule. Currently there is only one option defined that may appear
in rule sub-options field, eg the OPTION_MAP_PORTPARAMS, defined
in section Section 4.4.
The value of the EA-len and prefix4-len SHOULD be equal to or greater
than 32.

This rule is also an FMR.
o Note: BMR rules can be also FMR rules by setting the F flag. BMR
rules are determined by a match of the Rule-IPv6-prefix against
the CPE's prefix(es).
It is expected that in a typical MAP deployment scenarios, there will
be a single DMR and a single BMR, which could also be designated as
an FMR using the F-Flag.

o offset: (PSID offset) 4 bits long field that specifies the numeric
value for the MAP algorithm's excluded port range/offset bits
(A-bits), as per section 5.1.1 in [I-D.ietf-softwire-map].
Default must be set to 4.
o PSID-len: Bit length value of the number of significant bits in
the PSID field. (also known as 'k'). When set to 0, the PSID
field is to be ignored. After the first 'a' bits, there are k
bits in the port number representing valid of PSID. Subsequently,
the address sharing ratio would be 2 ^k.
o PSID: Explicit 16-bit (unsigned word) PSID value. The PSID value
algorithmically identifies a set of ports assigned to a CE. The
first k-bits on the left of this 2-octets field is the PSID value.
The remaining (16-k) bits on the right are padding zeros.
When receiveing the Port Parameters option with an explicit PSID, the
client MUST use this explicit PSID in configuring its MAP interface.
5. MAP Options Examples
DHCPv6 server provisioning a single MAP Rule to a CE (DHCPv6 client)
will convey the following MAP options in its messages:

TODO: Reflect example in section 5.3 of MAP draft
Figure 8: FMR Option Example
5.3. DMR Option Example
TODO: Reflect example in section 5.4 of MAP draft
Figure 9: DMR Option Examples
6. DHCPv6 Server Behavior
RFC 3315 Section 17.2.2 [RFC3315] describes how a DHCPv6 client and
server negotiate configuration values using the ORO. As a
convenience to the reader, we mention here that a server will by
default not reply with a MAP Rule Option if the client has not
explicitly enumerated it on its Option Request Option.
A Server following this specification MUST allow the configuration of
one or more MAP Rule Options, and SHOULD send such options grouped
under a single MAP_OPTION.
Server MUST transmit all configured instances of the Mapping Rule
Options with all sub-options, if client requested it using
OPTION_MAP_RULE in its Option Request Option (ORO). Server MUST
transmit MAP Flags Option if client requested OPTION_MAP in its ORO.
The server MUST be capable of following per client assignment rules
when assigning MAP options.
7. DHCPv6 Client Behavior
A MAP CE acting as DHCPv6 client will request MAP configuration to be
assigned by the DHCPv6 server located in the ISP network. A client
supporting MAP functionality SHOULD request OPTION_MAP,
OPTION_MAP_RULE and OPTION_MAP_DMR options in its ORO in SOLICIT,
REQUEST, RENEW, REBIND and INFORMATION-REQUEST messages.
When processing received MAP options the following behaviour is
expected:
Mrugalski, et al. Expires January 5, 2013 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
o A client MUST support processing multiple received OPTION_MAP_RULE
options in a OPTION_MAP option
o A client receiving an unsupported MAP option, or an unrecognized
parameter value SHOULD discard the entire OPTION_MAP.
o Only one OPTION_MAP_DMR is allowed per OPTION_MAP option.
The client MUST be capable of applying the received MAP option
parameters for the configuration of the local MAP instance.
Note that system implementing MAP CE functionality may have multiple
network interfaces, and these interfaces may be configured
differently; some may be connected to networks that call for MAP, and
some may be connected to networks that are using normal dual stack or
other means. The MAP CE system should approach this specification on
an interface-by-interface basis. For example, if the CE system is
attached to multiple networks that provide the MAP Mapping Rule
Option, then the CE system MUST configure a MAP connection (i.e. a
translation or encapsulation) for each interface separately as each
MAP provides IPv4 connectivity for each distinct interface. Means to
bind a MAP configuration to a given interface in a multiple
interfaces device are out of scope of this document.
8. Usage of flags and paramaters
The defined MAP options contain a number of flags and parameters that
are intended to provide full flexibility in the configuration of a
MAP CE. Some usage examples are:
o A MAP CE receiving an OPTION_MAP option with the T flag set to 1
will assume a MAP-E (encapsulation) mode of operation for the
domain and all associated rules. Conversely, when the received
option has the T flag set to 0, the CE will assume a MAP-T
(stateless NAT46 translation) mode of operation.
o The presence of a OPTION_MAP_RULE option, along with IPv4 prefix
parameters, indicates to the MAP CE that NAPT44 mode of operation
is expected, following the address mapping rules defined in
[I-D.ietf-softwire-map]. Conversely, the absence of an
OPTION_MAP_RULE option indicates that NAT44 mode is not required,
and that the MAP CE is to plainly encapsulate (MAP-E mode) or
statelessly translate using NAT64 (MAP-T mode) any IPv4 traffic
sent following the DMR.
o The MAP domain ipv6-prefix in the BMR should correspond to a
service prefix assigned to the CPE by the operator, with the
latter being assigned using regular IPv6 means, eg DHCP PD or
SLAAC. This parameter allows the CPE to select the prefix for MAP
operation.
Mrugalski, et al. Expires January 5, 2013 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
o The EA_LEN parameter, along with the length of the IPv4 prefix in
the BMR option, allows the MAP CE to determine whether address
sharing is in effect, and what is the address sharing ratio. Eg:
A prefix4-len of 16 bits, and EA-len of 18 combines to a 32 bit
IPv4 address with a sharing ratio of 4.
o The use of the F(orward) flag in the BMR allows a CE to apply a
received BMR as an FMR, thereby enabling mesh-mode for the domain
covered by the BMR rule.
o In the absence of a BMR, the presence of the mandatory DMR
indicates to the CPE the address or prefix of a BR, and makes the
MAP CE fully compatible with DS-Lite and stateful or stateless
NAT64 core nodes. Eg a MAP CE configured in MAP-E mode, with just
a DMR and a BR IPv6 address equivalent to that of the AFTR,
effectively acts as a DS-Lite B4 element. For more discussion
about MAP deployment considerations, see
[I-D.mdt-softwire-map-deployment].
9. Deployment considerations
Usage of PSID Option should be avoided if possible and PSID embedded
in the delegated prefix should be used instead. This allows MAP
deployment to not introduce any additional state in DHCP server.
PSID Option must be assigned on a per CE basis, thus requiring more
complicated server configuration.
In a typical environment, there will be only one MAP domain, so
server will provide only a single instance of MAP option that acts a
container for MAP Rule Options and other options that are specific to
that MAP domain.
In case of multiple provisioning domains, as defined in
[I-D.ietf-homenet-arch], one server may be required to provide
information about more than one MAP domain. In such case, server
will provide two or more instances of MAP Options, each with its own
set of sub-option that define MAP rules for each specific MAP domain.
Details of mulitple provisioning domains are discussed in Section 4.1
of [I-D.mdt-softwire-map-deployment].
10. IANA Considerations
IANA is kindly requested to allocate DHCPv6 option codes for TBD1 for
OPTION_MAP, TBD2 for OPTION_MAP_RULE, TBD3 for OPTION_MAP_DMR, and
TBD4 for OPTION_MAP_Port. All values should be added to the DHCPv6
option code space defined in Section 24.3 of [RFC3315].

Internet-Draft MAP DHCPv6 Options July 2012
11. Security Considerations
Implementation of this document does not present any new security
issues, but as with all DHCPv6-derived configuration state, it is
completely possible that the configuration is being delivered by a
third party (Man In The Middle). As such, there is no basis to trust
that the access over the MAP can be trusted, and it should not
therefore bypass any security mechanisms such as IP firewalls.
Readers concerned with security of MAP provisioning over DHCPv6 are
encouraged to familiarize with [I-D.ietf-dhc-secure-dhcpv6].
Section XX of [I-D.ietf-softwire-map] discusses security issues of
the MAP mechanism.
Section 23 of [RFC3315] discusses DHCPv6-related security issues.
