SLAAC with prefixes of arbitrary length in PIO (Variable SLAAC) - A
Problem Statement
draft-mishra-v6ops-variable-slaac-problem-stmt-06
Abstract
In the past, various IPv6 addressing models have been proposed based
on a subnet hierarchy embedding a 64-bit prefix. The last remnant of
IPv6 classful addressing is a inflexible interface identifier
boundary at /64. This document details the 64-bit boundary problem
statement.

2. Introduction
From the beginning, the IPv6 addressing plan was based on a 128 bit
address format made up of 8 hextets which were broken down into a 64
bit four hextet prefix and 64 bit four hextet interface identifier.
For example, the address 2001:db8:3:4::1 has the first 4 hextets
forming the /64 prefix 2001:db8:3:4::/64, whereas the last four
hextets form an interface identifier abbreviated as ::1 (a 'hextet'
is a group of max 4 hex digits between two columns, e.g. "2001" and
"db8" are each a hextet). A comprehensive analysis of the 64-bit
boundary is provided in [RFC7421]. The history of IPv6 Classful
models proposed, and the last remnant of IPv6 Classful addressing
rigid network interface identifier boundary at /64 is discussed in
detail as well as the removal of the fixed position of the boundary
for interface addressing in draft [I-D.bourbaki-6man-classless-ipv6].
This document discusses the reasons why the interface identifier has
been fixed at 64 bits, and the problems that can be addressed by
changing the GUA interface identifier from fixed 64 bit size to a
variable interface identifier. This change would be consistent with
static and DHCPv6 stateful IPv6 address assignment. This document
tries to achieve clearing the confusion related to prefix length, and
provide consistency of variable length prefix across the three IPv6
addressing strategies deployed, static, DHCPv6 and Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration(SLAAC), and finally update all RFCs with the new
variable SLAAC standard. The solution to this problem statement is
defined in draft [I-D.mishra-6man-variable-slaac]
Over the years one of the merits of increasing the prefix length, and
reducing the size of the interface identifier has been incorrectly
stated as the possibility of IPv6 address space exhaustion could be
circumvented, or that a 64 bit interface identifier is an efficient
use of address space.
3. Problem Statement
This section details the problem statement as to what is broken today
with fixed length Stateless Address Autoconfiguration SLAAC [RFC4862]
and why it is critical to resolve this problem.
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
The main problem is that SLAAC RA or PD allocates a /64 by the
wireless carrier 4G, 5G, 3GPP to mobile handset or hotspot, however
segmentation of the /64 via SLAAC is required so that downstream
interfaces can be further sub-netted. The use case section of this
draft discusses this scenario as one of the use cases for shorter
interface identifier, and this use case is the only one stated here
in the problem statement as this is broken today with the current
SLAAC specification [RFC4862], and there is not any workaround for
this use case.
There are two reasons why this was not a problem in the past, but now
with increased bandwidth there are more and more devices being piled
onto a single handset or mobile hotspot. In the past generations of
cellular systems (e.g. 2.5G aka GPRS and some 3G) the bandwidth
available to the User Equipment was not enough to accommodate several
applications; bandwidth available was roughly 256Kbit/s. For that
reason, users were rarely tempted to use an UE to link other devices
than that UE to the Internet. However, with the arrival of 3G, 3G+
(e.g. HSDPA / HSUPA), and even more so with 4G and 4G+, the
bandwidth made available to UE increased significantly; this became
an average effective of 1Mbit/s and even more. With this available
bandwidth, the users are more and more tempted to connect several
devices to the Internet. This operation is named 'connection
sharing' or 'tethering'. Another answer to this question is that
IPv6 technology that is widely used to 'tether' several IP devices to
a smartphone is '64share' RFC7278. This technology is used for
smartphones but is not so in vehicles. One of the reasons of not
being used in vehicles is the lack of scalability: a /64 prefix is
shared between the UE ptp link and the subnet (typically Wi-Fi), but
can not be further sub-netted to other subnets in the car.
The reason why all devices in a car cannot remain on a single /64 are
as follows. These devices have different link-layer technologies,
and not all WiFi could be bridged into Ethernet such as to keep all
devices into one /64. They could be on links that are not
bridgeable: devices on 802.11-OCB cannott be bridged, devices on
Bluetooth cannott be bridged, devices on 3GPP cannott be bridged, and
so one. Other than the impossibility to bridge several such link-
layer technologies there is also a problem of noise: in a vehicle one
wants the braking pedal signal to not be disturbed by entertainment
sites such as YouTube. That physical technical requirement
separation of different link layer technologies segmentation on to
different smaller IPv6 subnets cannot be achieved if all devices are
on a single /64, or bridged. Therefore, the only possible solution
to connect these disparate devices onto a 3GPP network for internet
access is to keep these separate link layer technologies segmented
onto separate greater then /64 prefix subnets and breaking the /64
boundary that exists today with a Variable SLAAC solution. Thus,
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
when the 3GPP network gives a /64 to the car, and when there are
unbridgeable technologies in the car (e.g. WiFi cant be bridged to
Bluetooth), then the only possibility is to divide that /64 into two
/65s. One /65 would be used on the WiFi and another /65 would be
used on Bluetooth. But in order for SLAAC to work with /65 then
there is a need to have the shorter interface identifier of length
63. Hence the need of lengths of PIOs other than 64 (variable plen).
There are three scenarios that require SLAAC to be able to be routed
between two greater then /64 prefix segments as part of the
requirement for variable length SLAAC and what is broken with the
current SLAAC specification defined in [RFC4862].
The first scenario is within a car using car manufacturer single SIM
for internet access and being able to bridge(Route) other link layer
devices like BT via variable slaac. In this scenario the
communication between downstream devices are all located within the
car using the car manufacturer built in SIM card for in-vehicle
communication. The in-vehicle scenario covers both the built-in car
manufacturer SIM card scenario, or if the car manufacturer does not
support built-in SIM card then a single mobile handset providing 3GPP
internet access to all devices in the car.
The second scenario is V2V (vehicle to vehicle) between cars
requiring SLAAC to subnet the >64 prefix so that the two cars have
WiFi connectivity.
This third scenario is a uCPE(Universal Customer Premises Equipment)
device is LTE 4G and Wi-Fi capable, and utilizes NFV (Network
Function Virtualization) framework, providing SFC (Service Function
Chaining), where one VNF (Virtual Network Function) is a CPE Layer 3
router and is the uCPE device which will receive a /64 prefix from 4G
3GPP Wireless provider and would like to be able to provide further
segmentation. In order to provide further segmentation and subdivide
the /64 into smaller longer prefix subnets variable SLAAC must be
employed. In this example we would give 1st /66 to Wi-Fi users, 2nd
/66 to Wired connected network device without security, 3rd /66
prefix to VNF firewall instance, and 4th /66 prefix VNF load balancer
instance. The uCPE (Universal Customer Premises Equipment) defined
in draft [I-D.shytyi-opsawg-vysm].
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
From a segmented bandwidth perspective while breaking up the /64
subnet into smaller subnets, there is not any impact to the user
experience of the now shared bandwidth, as long as the cellular
signal has adequate enough bars as far as signal strength to
accommodate the now multiple devices sharing the single cellular
signal. These scenarios described above are the problems that can
only be solved with a variable SLAAC solution. There is no other
solution or workaround for this problem. A possible solution to this
problem has been proposed in [I-D.mishra-6man-variable-slaac].
4. Variable SLAAC Use Cases
This section describes real world use cases of variable slaac that
cannot be done today and with fixed 64 bit prefix lengths.
4.1. Permission-less Extension of the Network
Permission-less extensions of the network with new links (and by
implication with new routers) are not supported.
The lack of possibility to realize a permission-less extension of the
network is an important problem, which appears at the edge of the
network. The permission is 'granted' for end users situated at the
edge of the network, and is 'granted' by advertising a prefix of
length 64 inside the PIO option in a RA typically. The end user
receives this prefix, forms an address, and is able to connect to the
internet. However, the end user has no permission to further extend
the network. Although the device is able to form subsequent prefixes
of a length of, say 65, and further advertise it down in the
extension of the network, no other Host in that extension of the
network is able to use that advertisement; a Host cannot form an
address with a prefix length 65 by using SLAAC. The Linux error text
reported in the kernel log upon reception of a plen 65 is "illegal"
(or similar).
4.2. Private Networks
Private networks such as Service Provider core not accessible by
customers and enterprises where all hosts are trusted are the primary
use case for variable SLAAC as the shorter interface identifier does
not create any security issues with not having a longer 64 bit
interface identifier for privacy extensions stable interface
identifier [RFC8084] due to all hosts being inherently trusted.
Private internal networks such as corporate intranets traditionally
have always used static IPv6 addressing for infrastructure. This
manual IPv6 address assignment process for network infrastructure
links can take long lead times to complete deployment. By changing
the behavior of SLAAC to support variable length prefix and interface
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
identifier allows SLAAC to be used programmatically to deploy to
large scale IPv6 networks with thousands of point-to-point links.
Note that network infrastructure technically does not require IPv6
addressing due to IPv6 next hop being a link local address for IGP
routing protocols such as OSPF and ISIS as well as the link local
address can be the peer IPv6 address for exterior gateway routing
protocols such as BGP. However for hop by hop ping and traceroute
capability to have IPv6 reachability at each hop for troubleshooting
jitter, latency and drops it is an IPv6 recommended best practice to
configure IPv6 address on all infrastructure interfaces.
4.3. Mobile IPv6
Old MIP6 (Mobile IPv6) Working Group and old Nemo Working Group's
routing solution scenarios related to Mobile IPv6 ([RFC3775]) (note:
nowadays most MIP-related activity is in DMM WG) where the mobile
endpoint can now obtain from the home agent variable SLAAC address
and not 64 bit prefix /64 address. This maybe useful in cases where
a /64 can now be managed from an addressing perspective and
subdivided into blocks for manageability of MIP6 endpoints instead of
allocating a single /64 per endpoint.
4.4. Home and SOHO
Home and SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) environments where
internet access uses a broadband service provider single or dual
homed scenario. In those such Home networking Homenet environments
where HNCP (Home Network Control Protocol [RFC7788] SADR (Source
Address Dependent Routing) are deployed for automatic configuration
for LAN Wi-Fi endpoint subnets can also now take advantage of
variable length SLAAC in deployment scenarios. In cases where
multiple routers are deployed in a home environment where routing
prefix reachability needs to be advertised where Babel [RFC6126]
routing protocol is utilized in those cases variable SLAAC can also
be utilized to break up a /64 into multiple smaller subnets.
4.5. 3GPP V2I and V2V networking
In V2I networking (with 3GPP or with IEEE 802.11bd) the IP-OBU in the
vehicle receives a /64 prefix from the cellular network (or from a
IP-RSU - Road-Side Unit). This /64 prefix can be used to form one
address for the egress interface of the Mobile Router (MR, which is
also termed 'IP-OBU', for IP On-Board Unit, in IPWAVE WG documents
such as RFC8691), but can not be used to form IP addresses for other
hosts in the vehicle. In the following two paragraphs we explain
this problem.
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
In certain 3GPP V2I networking use cases a /56 is allocated by the
3GPP infrastructure to the 4G modem of the IP-OBU in the vehicle. In
such use case it is possible that the IP-OBU sub-divides the
allocated /56 into multiple 'result' /64 prefixes. Such a 'result'
/64 prefix could be used to form addresses for deeper subnets in the
vehicle, by employing existing SLAAC and existing IPv6-over-foo
specifications of Interface ID.
If in other 3GPP V2I networking use-cases the infrastructure does not
allocate a /56 (or 'longer' prefix lengths such as a /57, /58../63)
to the IP-OBU, i.e. a /64 is allocated to the IP-OBU, then the
'result' prefix obtained after a sub-divide operation can only be of
length /65, or /66, or longer. A prefix of such length (longer than
64) can not be used with SLAAC and existing IP-over-foo Interface
Identifiers, because the length of all Interface Identifiers in all
IPv6-over-foo documents must always be 64, and the length of the IPv6
is always 128bit. The 64bit of an IID added to the 65bit (or more)
of a prefix is larger than 128bit. It is for this reason that a
SLAAC with other than 64bit Interface IDs (hence a 'Variable Prefix
Length SLAAC') is needed.
The problem of /64 allocation to the vehicle is mostly present in V2I
use-cases. In V2V use-cases this problem is less apparent but
deserves consideration. Until now there was no clearcut design and
decision about the infrastructure allocating addresses to several
vehicles (just to one, in V2I, see above). In some use-cases, the
prefix allocated to one vehicle could be further extended by that
vehicle to delegate prefixes to other vehicles nearby which might not
have 3GPP connections, but only 802.11-OCB interfaces. In such cases
it is again necessary that a /64 allocated by the infrastructure to
the first vehicle be further sub-divided in multiple 'result' longer-
than-/64 prefixes; and one of these longer-than-64 prefixes might be
used for the second vehicle (instead of being used for the internal
subnets of the first vehicle); this latter vehicle will need to use a
form of SLAAC and IP-over-foo that are not limited by the /64 limit.
4.6. Smart Traffic Lights
Smart traffic lights are traffic lights equipped with a communication
system. Smart traffic lights are deployed at intersections of roads
and serve the purpose of safely arbitrating the passage of
automobiles, pedestrians and cyclists. A typical smart traffic
lights setting is made of several computers, included but not limited
to: a traffic lights controller, a power controller and a
communication gateway. More advanced smart traffic lights are
equipped with more computers for radars, detection loops, lidars, V2X
wireless capabilities, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular 4G or 5G. All
these computers need to use IP addresses: at least one IP address per
Mishra, et al. Expires 21 November 2023 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Variable SLAAC May 2023
computer. Since smart traffic lights are deployed in areas where
Internet might not be available by cable, fibre or other Wireless MAN
technology the only way to connect all computers in the smart traffic
lights setting is to employ a 4G (or 5G) gateway. This gateway
obtains typically a /64 prefix from the network operator; there is a
problem in subdividing that /64 prefix into smaller prefixes, because
the obtained prefixes can not be used by SLAAC, because SLAAC uses
Interface IDs of length 64 in practice. Even if the SLAAC
specification is independent of the prefix length, the length of the
Interface ID dictates the prefix length by side effect (128 minus IID
length imposes the prefix length). SLAAC might work with a plen 65
by specification, but all IIDs in all IPv6-over-foo request that IIDs
be 64; and the sum of IID len plus plen must be 128.
4.7. 6lo
6lo Working IPv6 over Network Constrained nodes working group use
cases. Use cases for IoT devices where have limited network access
requirements could now take advantage of variable SLAAC longer
prefixes lengths /65-/128.
4.8. Large ISP's backbone POP
Large ISP backbone POPs such as IXPs where many carriers share the
same backbone and ND cache exhaustion may occur due to /64 subnet
size. One mitigation technique employed is the use of an ARP Sponge
for IPv4 or Layer 2 multicast rate limiters for IPv6. In those
particular cases a longer prefix static or variable SLAAC subnet
could be utilized to reduce the maximum number of hosts on the
subnet.
4.9. Permission-less extension of the Network
When one wants to extend the network, one typically wants to add new
computers to it. Currently, there are two ways to achieve it: (1)
ask the network administrator to provide addresses while also
inserting a route towards the new subnet of devices and (2) use NAT.
With IPv6, NAT is not desirable. In order to extend the network
without asking for permission one needs to obtain addresses and to
obtain that route inserted. In order to obtain addresses, one might
take advantage of the /64 prefix typically advertised by the network
to an edge of it. To do that, one needs to sub-divide the /64 prefix
into /65 sub-prefixes (or longer, such as /66, /67, etc.) which could
be further advertised in the extension of the network. For the
action of inserting a route, the particular topic is outside the
scope of this document.

5. Security Considerations
The administrator should be aware to maintain 64 bit interface
identifier for privacy when connected directly to the internet so
that entropy for optimal heuristics are maintained for security.
Variable length interface identifier shorter then 64 bits should be
only used within corporate intranets and private networks where all
hosts are trusted.
In all cases where the host is on a public network for privacy
concerns to avoid traceability variable interface identifier MUST
never be utilized.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign the new Router Advertisement flag defined
in Section 5 of this document. Bit 6 is the next available bit in
this registry, IANA is requested to use this bit unless there is a
reason to use another bit in this registry.
IANA is also requested to register this new flag bit in the IANA IPv6
ND Router Advertisement flags Registry [IANA-RF].
